Why does it matter? Because we invest in them. We give them space in our homes, our budgets, our feeds, and sometimes, our hearts. We put them on pedestals. So when they fall, we want the truth. But in an age of AI-generated \"evidence\", misinformation, and unqualified newsfluencers, separating fact from fiction is a full-time job. Hot on the heels of covering the Diddy trial, Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty is up for the challenge. Each week on Fame Under Fire, she'll take a detailed look at the topics dominating the headlines. With the help of expert guests, she'll myth bust, debunk, pre-bunk, fact check and get to the truth behind the timeline. Got questions? We've got answers.

She is now suing the rapper. An says West took control of the music set before allegedly choking her, smearing make-up across her face and placing his fingers in her mouth to simulate oral sex while cameras rolled. Lawyers for the rapper do not deny the encounter took place but have argued it was part of an \"intense and provocative theatrical performance\", as West was trying to emulate a scene from the film American Psycho. Jennifer An talks exclusively to Anoushka Mutanda Dougherty about her experience.
