81. Real Life Gossip Girl: Ari Ehrlich on Nantucket Drama and Surviving Manhattan Girl World

<p>I discovered <a href="https://www.instagram.com/arielehrlich/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Ari Ehrlich⁠</a> through his <a href="https://arielehrlich.substack.com/p/etiquette-how-to-act-when-youre-no" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠viral Substack⁠</a> about a friend trip to Nantucket that went completely sideways: the cold shoulder, no explanation, a girl world nightmare, and I had so many questions. </p><p>We get into what it was actually like growing up with the children of Manhattan&#39;s elite, his other salacious Substack stories where he&#39;s reporting on who&#39;s banging who and how he&#39;s managed to keep his friends despite writing about all of their drama. Ari is one of the funniest and most astute observers of social dynamics I&#39;ve talked to. Remember his name!</p>
