Yes, Elizabeth Gilbert Plotted To Murder The Love Of Her Life Sep 10, 2025

Show notes

There’s one thing you definitely know about Elizabeth Gilbert.

She wrote Eat Pray Love - a book that became a global phenomenon, a movie, and a blueprint for millions of women seeking transformation. It made Liz one of the most famous writers in the world.

But behind that fame was a deeper story - one Liz never told. Until now.

In her new memoir, All the Way to the River, Elizabeth Gilbert tells the truth about the love of her life, her best friend-turned-partner, the late Rayya Elias. It’s a story that’s fierce, complicated, and far from the romantic ideal many people projected onto them. It’s also about Liz’s own descent into addiction; not to drugs or alcohol, but to sex and love.

“I am a sex and love addict,” she writes. “I have caused tremendous harm to myself and others.” In this brutally honest conversation, Liz opens up to Holly about the darkest chapters of her life; the chaos of living with a partner relapsing into addiction, the shame of her own destructive patterns, and the moment she contemplated something unthinkable.

But this is also a story about healing, truth, and grace. About the kind of honesty that can save your life. And about what happens when you stop running, and finally let yourself be seen.

This is Elizabeth Gilbert like you’ve never heard her before: Unfiltered. Grieving. Funny. Fierce.
And ready to tell the whole truth.

Rosie O’Donnell on the Day Her Friendship With Ellen Fell Apart Sep 07, 2025

Show notes

Rosie O’Donnell has lived almost every version of life in the spotlight. From her breakout in Hollywood alongside Tom Hanks and Madonna, to her groundbreaking daytime talk show that redefined television, Rosie was one of the most famous women in America.

But with fame came ridicule, public feuds, and moments that cut deeply. She’s been celebrated, mocked, and at times turned into the punchline of her own story. And one of the most painful moments came when Ellen DeGeneres told the world they weren’t friends.

In this conversation, Rosie is raw, funny and reflective. She speaks about growing up in the shadow of losing her mother, her shy first attempts at romance, the highs and lows of talk show success, and the very public feuds that made headlines. She shares what it was like to be blindsided by Ellen’s rejection, and why that moment stayed with her. And yes, she even talks about her recent return to our screens in And Just Like That.

Rosie O’Donnell has lived a big, messy, fascinating life — and in this episode, she tells it all.

Rosie O'Donnell is bringing her show, Common Knowledge to Australia in October. More information and tickets here.

The Story Kayla Jade Wasn’t Supposed to Tell Aug 10, 2025

Show notes

Kayla Jade didn’t plan to become one of the most recognisable women on Australian TikTok. She didn’t plan to become a sex worker, or a mum, or a viral sensation. But somehow, she’s all of those things and more.

In this episode of No Filter, Kate Langbroek sits down with Kayla to talk about the story that wasn’t supposed to be told. The one that includes a man named Peggy Sue, an A-Lister who asked for too much, falling for one of her clients and that infamous meet up with Drake. It's deep dive into the wild, unfiltered life Kayla’s built - one storytime at a time.

From her rise on OnlyFans to becoming a full-service sex worker, from co-parenting in the Gold Coast hinterland to managing fame, surgery, shame and survival, Kayla speaks with extraordinary candour about everything she’s lived through and what she’s still learning.

And yes, we talk about the pegging story that may or may not have impacted the federal election.

How Sally Hepworth Survived Her Divorce Aug 03, 2025

Show notes

Sally Hepworth is one of Australia’s most successful and best-loved authors. Her novels are regularly top bestseller lists around the world.

She’s known for writing darkly funny, page-turning stories about marriage, motherhood, secrets and betrayal. But in this episode of No Filter, Sally shares her own story — and it’s as layered and compelling as one of her books.

Sitting down with Kate Langbroek, Sally talks candidly about ending her 20-year marriage, co-parenting with her ex, and why she no longer believes marriage is a good deal for women.

She also explains why she’ll never live with a man again, how her family reacted to her decision, and why, despite the heartbreak, this next chapter might just be her happiest yet.

Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth is out October 14 and The Family Next Door premieres on Sunday 10 August at 8pm on ABC TV, with all episodes available to stream on ABC iview.

Osher Günsberg On What Happens When TV Fame Ends Jul 27, 2025

Show notes

Osher Günsberg has been one of the most recognisable people on Australian television. The face of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Masked Singer, and Australian Idol, he’s been in our living rooms for over two decades.

But TV has changed. The work slowed. And suddenly, one of the most familiar faces in the country found himself scrambling to pay the mortgage.

In this episode of No Filter, Osher sits down with Kate Langbroek for a raw and revealing conversation about what happens when the cameras stop rolling. He opens up about the financial strain of losing multiple prime-time jobs, the reality of hustling for gigs to make ends meet, and the ego hit that comes with watching an industry move on without you.

Osher also speaks openly about his ongoing mental health journey and the therapy that’s helped him survive some of his darkest moments.

You can follow Osher and find his book, So What? Now What? here.

Why You Immediately Need To Know The Name CJ Hendry Jul 20, 2025

Show notes

CJ Hendry is one of the world’s most successful working artists. But she didn’t go to art school. She didn’t have a plan. And for a long time, she didn’t even call herself an artist.

She was a uni dropout working in retail, with a side obsession for beautiful things. One day she sold her entire wardrobe on eBay, bought some pencils and paper, and started to draw. She shared her work online. Then Kanye West bought one of her pieces. And everything changed.

In this conversation, CJ tells Kate Langbroek how she built a global art business from scratch, without a gallery, a degree, or any of the traditional paths artists are expected to follow. She talks about the moment the Andy Warhol Foundation threatened to sue her, and how she turned it into an international scavenger hunt. She opens up about marriage, motherhood, money, and why Sundays nearly break her. And she shares how a rebrand in Year 5 became the first step in becoming who she is now.

CJ also makes a major announcement during this episode — one that her fans will not want to miss.

Whether you’ve never heard of CJ or have been following her work for years, this is the story of what can happen when someone doesn’t wait for permission.
