Host
editThe LA Times describes the host, Shannon McNamara, as “one of TikTok’s most followed blind-item experts” who “sifts through the blind-item archives to piece together warning signs surrounding infamous predators, such as Weinstein and the late Jeffrey Epstein. Other times, she’ll recount a history of incriminating blind items surrounding celebrities who have not faced a public scandal but are still rumored to engage in predatory behavior.”[8]
GQ describes the host, Shannon McNamara, as thinking “blind items are especially appealing because they straddle two compulsive concepts: celebrity gossip and conspiracy theories. “It's probably one of the quickest rabbit holes to slide into because blind items have this very tantalising history where a lot of them have come true,” she says.”[9]
Vox magazine describes the host as “a full-time celebrity sleuth” who has “taught her followers about “Friday news dumps” and how to spot PR speak in celebrity journalism.“[10]
