Why is everyone calling enty a POS for having an affair? Aren’t we more than one of the worst things we’ve done? Hearing about the nice things he’s done for you two made me like/appreciate him more :)

Proud of you for sharing your story, Shannon. You're brave for doing this and I appreciate your transparency.
Corinne Huntley
My first thought when the news broke wasn’t, ahhh Kelli and Cam and Shannon need to say something. I thought, I hope they’re okay because it’s tough when you have find out you have a good relationship with a bad person. That said, I really enjoyed and appreciated this episode. You’re both big time time to me. I’m a WIWS Sun, Fluently Forward Moon, and BTB Rising. You’re part of the big three.
Tana
Just got around to listening to this, I’m so sorry for what you went through with your ex and all of this Shannon! 💞💞
Nancy D
Love you Shannon!! 🩷🩷

I think it’s also maybe bc his fan base and like the people he associated with were mostly women and not men who wouldn’t have cared. Also she was saying he was abusive I’m pretty sure.
Claire
That’s what I thought! It’s not nice but it happens. The way they going on you’d think he committed a crime!! He is a gossip site for god sake…
Chelsea Sims
If y’all need the backstory go listen to bullshit online they have a couple episodes on it. Shannon idk why these people come after you I feel like you’re one of the more genuine people online. Fuck them you did the right thing imo I tried to listen to drenched in drama to hear the backstory and it was unlistenable js
Diana Hernandez
So Enty was cancelled because he had an affair? Seems like the bar is low.
Erin
On their joint episode deux tried to say she has so many ppl blocked she just wasn't able to see Shannon or some bs
taylorslikeumwife
how insane do you have to be to lie ab being friends with Emma stone😭
Ana Maria
Currently listening and the way I am getting mad (and I'm at work) at people for calling Shannon out for absolutely no good reason. Some people just love to hate and honestly I think they do it for clout. As for what happened in your personal life: Don't blame yourself, Shannon. And this is coming from someone who was in a similar situation as you, but I was the wife. Took me 4 years to finally feel like myself again. Healing takes time.
Diana Revoredo
He had an invited co host on his podcast, then they had a relationship where he helped her with their children, I think they have some disability, but during the relationship she finds out that he is married and in the process of discovering who Enty really was (he also had children) he puts a restring order on her. restraining order and she tells her story and all this manipulation like the abuse she suffered from enty

Claire
So he had an affair?
Kat Gugino
I think you did the right thing by staying silent about it all until now. You could’ve been dragged into a lot of legal trouble if either of them turned on you during this situation.
Bails
Shannon I just love you. I have been here since 2022 and think you have such an amazing personality. You are a huge comfort podcast for me. I look forward to your new posts each week. Just wanted to let you know because i know there can be alot of negativity out there ❤️
Insomniac
Claire
Can someone please tell me what Enty has done?
Meesh
I’m sooooo happy I randomly joined your patreon (after listening to the free podcast for years) today and was able to hear this. I’d listened to drenched-n-drama when they first released their podcast and was shocked and immediately thought about you as I remembered you had co-hosted w him. You did nothing wrong. And I’m really saddened to hear how Cassandra had treated you in the midst of this. Yes she’s a victim but turning on other women and lashing out in bullying behaviour isn’t the answer. I hope she finds healing and resolution and I hope you keep being the honest, compelling, wonderful human you are. It’s the reason youve earned the success you have!🫶
xknowsall
This ep was so good
Marie
Shannon, you don’t have to feel bad at all about anything in this situation. I am sorry you have been in this but you been very respectful and understanding in this episode I feel like :) I have also had trauma but how Cassandra has been coming at you is pretty harsh. Why is she tearing down other women? I don’t know I get what you say and I totally get her situation is horrible but the way she is acting about it and her followers(?) is wild to me.
Shana cleo
This is such an amazing episode I came here for the tea but just started lying in my bed listening to you talk and it was so healing
Samantha Brooks
ENTY called you cute one time and it weirded me out
Rose Martine
There is no winning in a situation like this. You did the best you could. You had a right to protect yourself in this situation.
Allyson
This might sound FUCKED but the pattern of all Casandra’s stuff reminds me of internet scammers. Like I believe her but the pattern is eerily similar to when you don’t respond to a scammer. Like why is she going after Shanon when she was not involved with Enty, especially when Cam was arguably closer with him. If I went on the totally extreme side of it, it feels more calculated than I’d want to admit.
Erin
I don't get why this is an issue when she explained why she showed it, not to discredit Cassandra's pain but to explain her intent behind her initial response
Allyson
First off, thank you for sharing your own heartbreaking experiences & being honest with literal strangers. Second, and maybe I’m speaking from a place of ignorance and missing something, but how in the world is any of their “relationship” your problem? Like I get you have a platform but getting a dm that says “help me - I’m scared” is extremely disconcerting. Abused people abuse people & if we address the purple elephant, she was sputtering out of control from a place of abuse. We can empathize with her but at the end of the day, that’s not your responsibility. Like I sat there listening and was completely baffled that she twisted the rhetoric to make this YOUR fault. That’s so fucked & honestly I wish someone would go on your defense. From the get go she didn’t even ask for a platform but just wanted to — honestly idk what she wanted. Again, so sorry that you’ve been through this. Like ugh I wish I could express how much this is so not your fault or responsibility. Thank you for being vulnerable with us strangers.
Lydia Theologus
I couldn’t agree more with you. This girl seems unhinged.
Erin
Aww Shannon, finding that out through your parents is insane 😔❤️ A similar thing happened to my aunt, she was pregnant with the guy's baby who is now my cousin and he him once but then totally abandoned him even though he still lives in the same city and is still with his wife and is a father to his other kids
aly
love this episode shannon. thank you for sharing it with us 🩷
Rachel Gentile
I think this is one of your best episodes. You were both so intentional with everything you said and it was really cathartic to listenbto you process your feelings in such a genuine and honest way. Lots of love to my fave gaylors (not Enty, he's the least favorite gaylor)
Olivia Murray
It was me who commented the thing about sexual tension 😭😭😭 I’m so sorry I think Im misremembering but I thought you mentioned in an episode that his gf was angry with you for flirting with him or something
Lauren Hellrud
Shannon sweating was the most relatable part of the whole thing
Alex
the victim is making false claims about shannon’s character and trying to bring her into a situation that she never asked to be in. it could hurt her livelihood. they both said in the ep that they believe cassandra and that the video clips weren’t there as a “gotcha” but to dispel the stuff against shannon if you were shannon why wouldn’t you defend yourself ?
Emily Elser
Great episode Shan, I know you must have been biting your nails by posting this but I hope you look at the comments and make yourself feel better!
Emily Elser
I think she was more or less trying to give some context of why she didn’t speak out and she called it a “relationship” because Cassandra did one time and then came at her for it. I feel like Shannon thought no matter what she said she wouldn’t win
Bridget Leslie
Great ep Shannon. This was such a tough situation to navigate and it’s so important to remember to protect yourself which is what you did. ❤️❤️

Why does deux still have you blocked? 😅😅what in the world!
Claire
Cassandra is a very bitter woman, I listened to half of one of her podcasts and got that impression.. She is on a mission, but sadly making herself look desperate!
Angelyca Violet
Sending you lots of love, Shannon!
Liz Velatini
I literally never comment on things but I just wanted to let you know you did an incredible job in this episode. I’m so happy you got things off your chest and are defending yourself! You seem so fun and pure hearted and I can tell this has been weighing you down. Sending you all the hugs
Victoria
You didn’t do anything wrong Shannon … sounds like Cassandra is hurt, on the attack and going for targets she can hit… keep clear x
sisternotyours
Great episode. You can’t reason with the unreasonable, I think this was explained really well in this conversation. You’re not the enemy Shannon. I think the problem here is that she’s clearly very hurt and that’s understandable. It’s an issue when she’s directing this towards you, also publicly in a defamatory way. Interesting that she’s going after the straight one out of you two even though Cam arguably had a closer relationship with him. Controversial I know, I hope it doesn’t come across in a rude way
Alex
cassandra does not seem well, especially after seeing the 100 comments from her on your patreon?? i know it’s cynical to say this, but those terrifying messages + general energy would be an immediate no. you obviously have good intentions but you don’t wanna get taken advantage of. that is NOT bitchy of you in the least
Crystal R-O
Shannon I think you handled it all very well. You probably handled it better than most people would. Cassandra just seemed to be taking out her anger on you.
Holly
Such a good ep thank you girls!!
RJ
After listening to all the online BS pod eps on this this week I totally get why you blocked Cassandra! I also listened to all the (free) drenched in drama eps and part of me does feel like the exposé was meant to be a jumping off point. I also don’t think it’s a bitchy move to say it’s not my situation/problem what do you expect me to do?? No one else can fight this fight for her and the jumping down people’s throats to try and have them constantly share isn’t helping anything. I get it I really do but some of it hasn’t sat well with me at all
jen
My two favorites in one episode 💖
xknowsall
LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Bri
This was such a good ep thank you!
Kendall Heldt
thank you for answering my question!!! i was also thinking he dislikes mainly women of color…
Erin
It's hard for me to dislike Enty just because he had an affair. Of course I think it is wrong but it's not like his podcast is on having morals and a healthy marriage. What he does in his private life is not any of my biz. As far as the abuse allegations. I listened to some of drenched in drama and it seemed like a his word against her word situatiom. Normally I always side with the woman but in this case it sounded like she was airing dirty laundry, could have left him when she found out he was married but didn't. She wasn't his mistress at first but stayed with him after she found out so yes she was. Curious how he abused her children? All I heard was she pulled them out of school because she trusted his word that they would move to a different area but then he broke their trust and it was too late because she already pulled her kids out and couldn't get them back into the school? Is that abuse though? Or just being a really shitty person? Cass aggressively tagging Shannon and the way she acted seemed like bullying. Edit- I dislike what he did but that's really his life and business. I feel like if i stopped consuming content from people who have been in an affair or have been emotionally abusive or even a horrible person that'd be cutting out a lot more celebs. We don't shun movie stars or musicians like that.
ek
i looveeeeee what i will fluently say episodes 💕 the two of you have great balance together
Julia Paratore
love that you brought on cam for this!! damn thank you for such an honest convo.
SOL88
And the ‘energy’ comments are 💯. Lots askew with the entire situation 😵💫 Last thing, may be controversial, but weaponizing trauma is a thing and it’s not cool regardless of the situation; hurt people hurt people.. Don’t come at me, I work in the counseling field and I’ve seen it.
SOL88
Shannon you did the right thing and are the furthest thing from a bitch. This is not your problem and there is literally nothing you can do to make it better in her eyes. So, keep on keeping on. That’s it.
Savannah Martin
it’s soooo true about having been with someone who is perhaps a sociopath or at least a liar where days or months or years later you’re like wait… that didn’t make any sense. he LIED! i unfortunately have that experience often :p
Mathilde Morelli
That was incredible
Traumachica
ty for being so honest in this episode, its getting me thru a cold rn 🫶🏼
Averie
I think it’s pretty normal for girls to be attracted to older men - there is something deeply wrong with men in their 40s being okay with dating a girl in her 20s
Averie
You guys are spot on with the power dynamic of an older man with a young girl… while I prefer older men, I (very) briefly dated a guy 15 years older than me. I was spending the night once & his personality completely changed mid-date. He started screaming & became verbally abusive - his size & energy made it clear that I was not physically safe to leave until the next morning. When you mentioned how your ex laughed, it reminded me of the sudden switch to literal evil. They really do prey on how trusting younger women can be.
Jacqueline
“Treating women as side objects or side characters to serve you in your vision of being a main character.” Really resonated with me.
Jacqueline
Guess he doesn’t have jet black hair
Jennifer Z
Thanks for your transparency and being willing to share with us!
Savannah Martin
amazing episode but also where can i sign up to hang out with shannon and compare boobs (kidding!) (……)
Hala Al tayyeb
Not enty being tom Sandoval
Holly
Thank you!!!!!
Charlie Kate
And Cam of course!
Ana Sousa Moreira
The Vulture article is wild... Omfg also throwback to Cam imitating Enty's intro in the pod collective and everyone losing their minds
Lauren
Shannon I think you dealt with the Cassandra thing exactly how you should’ve after those scary DMs. I would’ve been livid if she accused me of not believing women… That being said, I can’t imagine being in her position and of course I believe her allegations against him. Such a difficult situation to navigate
Jer
Thank you for being so open in this episode!!
chad
this episode is everything to me lol
Shannon Western
Omg !!!! A treat
LadySwampWitchGivsNeauFux

chelsd
this is the superbowl to me
Erin
Hfs yes! My 1 hour walk to work starts now. Pressing play. I'll finish the rest on my walk back. Thanks Shannon, you are so fast!! ❤️
Nicole
Yasss subscribed just for this. 🤯👀 Wow had no idea about those articles! I hope he doesn't try to sue you over this. And yeah I think a lot of women have at least one experience being the side chick, it sucks! It took me out for like a year too.
Charlie Kate
Omg perfect timing as I'm just about to leave for a 4 hour train ride!! Thank u Shannon!
Ally Atlas
