THE MAKING OF IVANKA: Crony Capitalism and Ivanka, ft. Bethany McClean Jan 17, 2024

Show notes

From the minute her dad took office, Ivanka and her business affairs have been at the center of controversy. Even though Ivanka removed herself from her Ivanka Trump fashion company when she entered the White House as a formal Adviser in 2017, she was forced to close the brand in Summer of 2018 due to continuing questions of conflicts of interest. Brands such as Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Gilt dropped her products after a boycott-Trump movement in backlash to the president's policies on… everything. Fair, unfair, for politics to take a toll on her business? To discuss all of this and more, Tabloid host Vanessa Grigoriadis sits down with writer Bethany McLean for a special bonus episode.

Show notes

Now that she's secured her father's attention again, she rebels a little--tries Georgetown instead of Penn and parties a ton at a loft on Great Jones Street, where her social world collides with (host and producer) Vanessa Grigoriadis's. And then she meets the love of her life, Jared Kushner.

The Making of Ivanka Trump: THE PARTY-GIRL YEARS Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

Ivanka regains her dad’s attention by dipping into the world of his dating pool--the modeling world. It's perhaps a strange choice for an ambitious, well-capitalized, well-educated and well-connected young woman, but Ivanka seemed to understand just what her father might want out of her.

The rise of Marla; how Ivanka coped with the ruin of her perfect, cosseted world; and watched her parents duke it out in the tabloids as though she and her siblings didn't exist, learning that everything is a competition and that there’s more than one way to "win."
