Rapper Kid Cudi addressed his mental health issues on the RTT and how life started going downhill for him. He felt pressured being a person that an entire generation looked up to, and he didn't consider himself that person. He equated his life to being a person who performed comedy but was miserable.

Cudi is now clean and about fatherhood and raising his daughter.
9 Jessica Alba
On RTT, actress Jessica Alba discussed remarks made about photos she shared with her kids being "child abuse." Her children wore masks while they were in Alba's vehicle during a family trip in July 2020 and Alba caught a lot of flack for saying that she and her family consistently wore masks. Alba was frustrated that motherhood is something that people politicize. The entire episode focused on what they called mommy-shaming, and model Ashley Graham joined this segment as well, stating that people criticized her for breastfeeding her child in public.
8 Demi Moore
Like Cudi, actress Demi Moore also struggled with drug addiction, in particular cocaine. She revealed that in 1984 while filming "Blame it on Rio." that she almost burned a hole through her nostrils. Moore had to face coping with her mother's alcohol addiction and multiple suicide attempts throughout her childhood. Her daughters, Tallulah and Rumer, also joined Moore during this episode. After Moore split from Ashton Kutcher in 2011, Tallulah didn't speak to her mom for three years.

6 Ayesha Curry
Ayesha Curry, the wife of the professional basketball player Steph Curry and her family, appeared on RTT discussing issues such as anxiety, racism, and all of the female attention directed towards their basketball player husbands. Curry caught a lot of flack after she confessed on RTT that she wished she had male attention as well. People questioned her loyalty and asked why she would even want attention when her husband is Steph Curry.
Some people defended her stance. One Twitter said that men couldn't relate to mothers who wake up wondering if they're still beautiful. During Mental Health Awareness Month in 2019, Curry said that she should be able to open up about her emotions and that she's never been one to cage them.
5 Alicia Keys

4 Gabrielle Union
It shocked the world to find out that Gabrielle Union and Pinkett Smith were in a 17-year feud. The two actresses hashed things out and had an emotional face-to-face. Pinkett Smith revealed that the two were never friends but associates, and at some point, this acquaintanceship dissolved. Both of them knew there was tension between them, but they couldn't put their fingers on why. Pinkett Smith revealed that both of them had too much pride and insecurity to address their issues. They never reached out to each other to figure out if the two were genuinely beefing or if the industry tried to pit the two against each other.
3 Ciara
