In part one of Crowned & Cancelled's new 3-part series on the French Revolution, I'll explore's Marie Antoinette’s (fake!) cake comment, Robespierre’s flower crown, and how a country’s cry for fresh croissants turned into a full-blown national breakdown.

Expect guillotines, gossip, and the psychology behind revolutions that eat their own!

Next week: Robespierre faces the music and a little Corsican artillery officer has some tall ideas for the future of France...

Join me in Italy and Greece in 2026!

Ever wonder why guys neg hot women? Because when there's nothing left to build, you destroy.

In this episode of the Crowned & Cancelled history podcast, I dives into Oxford University's Bullingdon Club for some true dark academia—tales of aristocrats and heirs who used their privilege to move fast and break things. A lot of things.

Before Rome was an empire, it had a mother — then it erased her.

The story of Romulus and Remus isn’t about brotherhood or destiny; it’s about branding, survival, and how the woman who gave Rome life was turned into a monster.

In this new history podcast from Shallon Lester, she unpacks how image is power — and why losing control of your narrative can destroy you...

Before influencer mansions or Instagram clout, there was Louis XIV’s palace, Versailles — the world’s first Hype House. And spoiler: it reeked.

In this episode, Shallon Lester unpacks how The Sun King used glamour, gossip, and pure spectacle to keep France’s elite under his control — all while forgetting one tiny detail: plumbing!

Versailles was a feast for the eyes...and a nightmare for the nose.

But behind the wigs and perfume lies the real lesson: when you’re busy performing someone else’s idea of greatness, you end up choking on the stench of imitation.

Trendsetters build empires. Followers just clean up the mess.

Crowned & Cancelled — formerly Girl on Top — is for anyone who hated history class but lives for drama.
Each week, host Shallon Lester brings her signature sass and unapologetic advice to Marie Antoinette’s downfall, Oxford’s dark halls, the scandals of ancient Rome and so much more.
It’s tabloid gossip meets dark academia — where every story is true, every downfall is relatable, and every shattered empire becomes a strategy for confidence, ambition, and survival.

Smart. Savage. Addictive.
Welcome to Crowned & Cancelled.
