WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Feb. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ever wondered, “Am I the asshole?” Well… we’ve got answers. Today, Grindr launched Who’s The Asshole?, a provocative and sex-positive series hosted by beloved drag legend, Katya Zamolodchikova.

With nearly two decades of experience as a host and performer, Katya brings a wealth of experience to the table as she bares it all to expose the truth, the ‘w’hole truth, and nothing but(t) the truth about asshole behavior. In each episode, she sits down with guests to probe deep on all things sex and dating, as well as get their hot takes on real Grindr stories, submitted by users via the podcast’s official hotline, 510-ASS-HOLE.

“When it came to choosing our host, Katya was an absolute no-brainer for us, bringing the perfect combination of honesty, humor and some incredible personal stories,” says Tristan Pineiro, VP of Brand Marketing and Communications at Grindr. “Be it in a hookup or a date, sometimes we can all be the asshole, and Grindr’s new podcast is the no-holds-barred destination where we dig into the good, the bad and the sometimes messy.”

“I love diving deep into the dirty, juicy, filthy tea, so when Grindr said I could be paid to do it?! I jumped at the opportunity with all the enemas and poppers I could find. There are so many topics people are too embarrassed to discuss, but I have no shame to go there,” says Katya. “No story is too wild, and in fact, we all have them… assholes, that is.”
