Echoing
Still giving 5 stars because this has nothing to do with the content! I noticed, unless your are speaking right into the mic, there’s some echoing happening

Nobody does it better!!!
The only podcast I have consistently listened to since day 1. Heather gives us the content we need and brings it EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE. I have always appreciated and admired her hustle. She is such a delight!!! Thank you, Heather!

Used to love it
Heather is hilarious, but she is so into conservative/MAGA rhetoric. An interview with a misinformed M.D. was my last listen. Unfollow.
Unfollow :(
My Favorite
Such a good podcast with so much variety but always has the juicy scoop. It’s like talking with your bestie. The Patreon extra episodes are so good. Can’t get enough.

Bye
I’ve been a Juicy Scooper at a paid level for almost 5 years. Recent episodes are gross and borderline Trumpy. I don’t believe in cancel culture either but I’m not here to listen to weird, veiled messaging around all the isms and your support of whichever way the wind blows with whomever is a guest on your show. Wish you well, Heather.

RUDE
Heather is wildly rude to her guests at times. Specifically, with Erin Nance. She literally laughed at Erin while Erin was gassing her up and was so condescending. Heather, you’re not a celebrity, quit acting like a snob.

Very fun
Loved your ep with Sarah Fraser! You two have great chemistry and it was a func fast-paced ep

Getting better all the time - even after a decade!
Heather’s honesty is refreshing. And becoming a better interview listener all the time - which is not meant as snark. It’s just impressive to follow someone continue to hone their craft and never be complacent. LOVE certain episodes if this show SO MUCH - fresh!

So Funny
Heather is so funny especially when she recaps the Houswives. Love her impersonation them. She can read them so well. I love to listen to her on my morning 3 mile walk with my hyper dog. She makes it go by so fast. Very entertaining!!!

Sarah Fraser
Couldn’t get past 1:51 of the Sarah Fraser episode. No idea who she is but her and her voice were insufferable.

Sarah Fraser was great
Have listened to this podcast since the beginning but haven’t finished any podcast lately but the Chris Franjola ones. But today’s with Sarah Fraser was great. Sarah is such a pro. Heather, why did you have to hijack her egg donor journey and make it about yourself? Even got a reference to your White Chicks job worked in. You added nothing to Sarah’s story.

Thank you!
I really like the pod for keeping me informed on all things pop culture. Some of these reviews make me think there are a lot of sad, angry folks out there. I don’t need you to be identical with me when it comes to politics. I can handle different opinions. Also, you talk about a lot of different topics. It’s okay that you don’t pronounce everything perfectly or know every detail. You’re not doing a deep dive on just one topic.

So funny!
I listen often, but for the love of God, HEATHER, please stop mispronouncing words and mispronouncing peoples names, misquoting things and not reading a story ahead of time and then talking about it!!! It's driving me absolutely crazy.😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 This podcast is also a great escape from my boring life! I especially love when she does the impersonating interviews, haha love them! The Ramona one is so spot on to how Ramona talks and makes excuses for all her bad behavior.👍

MAGA
I used to enjoy parts of this podcast when I was on a long drive. However, the MAGA undertones as of late are just vile. The fact that she lives in a state where brown-skinned people are frequently being abducted off the street and can support (or both sides) this administration makes me absolutely sick. Stand up for your guests whose rights could soon be taken away because of their sexual orientation or the color of their skin. I won’t be listening anymore and have unsubscribed. Sad.

ignorant.
when will you learn to pronounce Ghislaine? it makes you sound ignorant.The French name Ghislaine is typically pronounced "Ghee-len" (hard "g," silent "s") or "Gee-lane" (hard "g") in English. Some people may also pronounce it with a soft "j" sound, like "Jee-len". The "laine" part rhymes with "again

Dried out not juicy
There’s nothing juicy about this scoop. Most of the time Heather doesn’t even know what her guests are talking about. She’s in her own bubble. She’s a Karen, an entitled white woman with money. She’s not funny or smart and her guests are mean people who like to slander and defame anyone they dislike. Not juicy at all. Just rotten.
It Ends With Justice
Come on
Do five minutes of research before you speak. It was Hulk’s best friend’s wife that he slept with.

Love Heather but…
Love Heather and Juicy Scoop but Farai Bennett needs to go. I could not finish the episode. He is too much. Overpowering Heather’s discussion of topics for the episode and his laugh takes over so much, I had to turn it off when it turned into a migraine.

Getting way too MAGA, unsubscribing

Zack Peter
Do not enjoy when you have him on. He’s notorious for stealing content from smaller creators and has only made himself relevant because he found ONE thing he knows more about than other people. Blake and Justin. No presence. Uninteresting. Bland. Love Juicy Scoop aside from him! But, I will ALWAYS skip his episodes.

Honest Review
You sound like you are drowning in your own spit! Gross! Have to continually skip through your podcast to try to listen to your guest. Slobbering Hog!

Brandy Howard
It’s comical to see how far up Heather’s butt she’ll go to keep her juicy scoop pass. good for Julie for maintaining a little dignity. 😂

So jealous
It’s been obvious for some time that Heather is extremely jealous of Leanne Morgan. This has gotten worse due to Leanne‘s current success as Americas, sweetheart. This is all Heather has ever hoped for. Even though Heather is older than Leanne this is exactly what she’s always wanted for herself.

Sydney Sweeney
Will you please stop paying attention to Sydney Sweeney? She’s Walmart hot she’s not even hot. She’s like the best looking girl in Alabama at the Walmart.

Love
Heathers the best for covering all things pop culture. Also I disagree with people saying she interrupts too much, and love how well she stays on track on what’s being said and how she asks all the questions we want to know!!

nice try heather
WAS a big fan of this podcast until listening to yet ANOTHER episode where heather defends racist propaganda and ppl living in their “privileged bubble” blaming those of us harmed and deeply offended by it for “making things a bigger deal”… well heather thats easy for YOU to say as one of the ppl clearly living in YOUR OWN PRIVILEGED BUBBLE. stop speaking on issues you have no idea about. stop defending WRONG and try standing up for what’s right on your platform. talk about bravo and leave the IMPORTANT issues alone since you have no understanding or empathy for them. i won’t be listening anymore. will be interesting to see if you and your team delete this review or leave it up.

So annoying
Maybe have people on that aren’t raging idiotic leftists. You’re losing a lot of fans.

Ugh
Boasting is not flattering.

Used to love
This was my favorite pod but heathers lack of preparation took the cake when she disrespected the Idaho four victims and couldn’t bother to learn their names. Stick to gossip and trash where your disregard for facts won’t matter.

Meh
Not what it used to be.

Heather & Chris
BEST COMBO EVER!! I wish the two of you would record once a week. I enjoy you and drake too.

What a disgrace
Heather, it’s Xana and Kaylee…. Say their names correctly. The least you could do is that. Please give those victims the respect they deserve and don’t mispronounce their names over and over. It’s so disgusting and disgraceful. This is not the time to say “you know I Mispronounce words”. If you’re going to speak about them, They deserve to have their names pronounced correctly.

Scheana
She and LaLa are just unlikeable along with their friend Janet. Scheana and LFU are calculated and manipulative and will never be liked. Ariana and Katie are 10 levels above them and always will be. Nobody wants them on The Valley. Both of them need to stay off of our TV”s. .
Fanet to Scheana
Kate Casey
Was Kate even on the pod bc I think I heard maybe 30 words from her! Heather sounds like she’s on adderall & is THE rudest host! Won’t let anyone talk. Talks 90mph!

Truly a girls girl
Love the hot topics. Love the honesty. Love that she seems like a kind human and love how it relaxes me when I listen.

Our Girl is Back!!!
(…But did she ever go away?) After an awkward transition/shuffle between what this show was and what it was turning into - the new and improved JUICY SCOOP is here with phenomenal guests, next level comedy, and Heather being as comfortable in her skin as I can ever remember. Heather you are an inspiration!

#1
Heather offers the best pop culture commentary around. She makes me laugh every time, and her guests are the best. She IS the #1 tabloid real life podcast!

Great interview !!
Matt Murphy was awesome!!! I purchased his book.

Heather is a Queen
Heather does amazing on her podcast and puts out multiple episodes a week with so much juicy info! Yes, she may not be perfect, but my goodness, who is! Stop with the negative reviews and appreciate this OG Queen of Juice. Love you Heather!

So good!
Love Matt Murphy but Karen Read is not guilty!!!
Jules Soet King
Love it.
So happy that you and Brandy and Julie have each other's support and vice versa. Show's hilarious. So much juicy stuff you don't hear anywhere else. Everyone hates a woman doing well I guess. P.S. RE: Matt Murphy on Karen Read, I do not follow his logic that Karen Read should not be able to make accusations against police because they should be beyond reproach. Maybe someone should let the police in Boston know that so they could be less reproachable. Very stupid. Makes no sense coming from someone in his position. What about avoiding the appearance of impropriety?

Desperately seeking a listener
I can’t handle the behavior. Heather is becoming more & more desperate. It’s sad & embarrassing. 🫤

Unclear if any of his thoughts. She can’t help herself. She talks over her guests. I live her one on one. She really should not have guests.

Great podcast. Updates on pop culture, funny and informative. Fun guests!
JustMeListeningtoPod
Shut up Heather & let your guest’s talk
Heather is doing it again cutting off her guest’s talking over them. Kate Casey is a prime example, poor Kate would start to talk then I Adderall Heather cuts her off talks really fast about something she has just asked Kate to speak on, Heather proceeds to talk louder & is completely wrong & sweet Kate just lets Heather go on with the wrong information. Heather I thought you stopped this! Please shut up & let your guests who you ask to come your podcast & don’t pay and then run your dumb mouth over them. Shut up & be professional & polite please! Especially when you have no idea what you are talking about!

Not worth your time
It might have been funny years ago but the decline has been steep. Please don’t waste your time on this terrible show. It’s not funny and it’s often embarrassing to listen to.

Why have guest if they can’t speak?
I’ve been a Juicy Scooper for years but recently I’ve been so disappointed. 1. Heather talks over guests, I mean they can’t even get one sentence out without her interrupting and taking over. 2. Who watches sex in the city!? I don’t and she spends the bulk of episodes talking about it. 3. Lack of research on current trends. I still love Heather and sad I can’t tolerate these episodes anymore!

Worth the Listen; Warning for Empaths
I am a subscriber. Podcast content is reality tv and pop culture which is light, enjoyable, and non-political. I like HMD and mostly find her relatable. She consistently posts. On occasion there are episodes (like the one on 7/8/25) when HMD interrupts and talks over the guest so often that I turn it off because I feel so uncomfortable listening. I feel bad for the guest and HMD because she seems to be a kind person who cannot help herself. If she overcomes those behaviors, I think this podcast will skyrocket in popularity even more. If not, and you are an empath, there may be episodes you cut short. Most episodes will be worth the listen, and it is worth the small subscription for extra episodes and no ads.
