25:00Did body positivity ever really exist?

Today on Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud:

  • Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that most of the models on the catwalk in Paris, Milan and New York are super skinny — but, it's 2023. What happened to body positivity, and size inclusivity? As Paris Fashion Week draws to a close, we check in with two people who have been covering the shows to talk about why we're seeing so many size zeros — and why that matters.

  • With news that The People's Court is coming to an end, Elamin talks to culture critic Amil Niazi about its legacy, and the future of the reality court TV genre.
