Violence in MAFS
Show notes
Is reality TV entertaining us? Or normalising toxic, abusive behaviour?
In Episode 20 of Dear Divorce Diary, Darren Mort and Joplin Higgins pull no punches as they unpack the troubling portrayal of relationships, misogyny and family violence on reality television.
From the way contestants are edited and portrayed to casting choices, relationship dynamics and the role alcohol plays in those infamous late-night dinner parties, Darren and Joplin question the responsibility of producers, networks and the media in shaping how we view toxic and abusive behaviour.
This is a conversation about accountability, responsibility and the messages we accept in the name of entertainment.
