We’ve got a “Red Table Talk” exclusive ahead of Wednesdays episode!

Red Table Talk BBL episode w/ Michelle Visage

In the episode, Jada, Willow and Gammy explore the dangers of the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) with a top plastic surgeon who reveals why she refuses to do them, and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Michelle Visage shares the dangerous side effects of her signature breast implants, and why she made the bold decision to have them removed.

Check out the clip below featuring Dr. Myla Powell Bennett, who tells the co-hosts, “It’s pretty rare that I perform BBLs, because I believe they’re dangerous, they’re risky, so I don’t do those very often.”

“In your gluteal muscles, there are very large vessels, veins specifically,” Powell Bennett explains, “The vein is a very thin wall and they’re big. It’s a blind surgery so we’re using little tiny incisions and we’re reinjecting the fat. There are techniques to try and minimize inadvertent puncturing of those gluteal vessels, but you can’t see. So what happens is you inadvertently inject these large vessels and you push the fat, because you’re injecting fat and a big ol’ glob of fat goes right up to your lungs and suffocates you. That’s how they die.”

Yikes! That is something we hope every doctor is explaining to any patient even considering a BBL.

The eye-opening episode of Facebook Watch’s Emmy Award-winning “Red Table Talk” with RuPaul’s Drag Race’s Michelle Visage will be available to stream on Wednesday, September 29 at 9am PT / 12pm ET on Facebook Watch HERE.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
