Now, Pearadise creator Stefan Wilhelmy responds.

For years, Pearadise was promoted as a body-positive sanctuary where plus-size women could feel beautiful, desired, accepted, and finally seen. But behind the bikinis, social media videos, and messages of empowerment, many former residents have described something much more complicated.

This week, I go solo to address the recent online attacks directed at me from comedians, podcasts, and strangers who seem to think body shaming, age shaming, and promiscuity shaming qualify as entertainment.

But this episode isn't about being offended by jokes. It's about drawing a line between comedy and cruelty and standing up for the people who do not have the platform or thick skin to defend themselves.

I discuss the hypocrisy of people who claim certain topics are off limits while freely mocking appearance, age, sexuality, adult...

Today on Ava Devine's Bad Advice, I sit down with Joseph Martinez to explore a powerful truth: you are not destined to become the environment you were raised in.
