In this hard-hitting episode of the TikTok FAMOUS™️ Podcast, host Meredyth Willits sits down with trial attorney and viral truth-teller Tom Bosworth—aka @tommythelawyer—to talk about the intersection of law, health, safety, and social media.

 

With a calm voice and a courtroom edge, Tom’s content is known for unflinchingly exposing the real dangers behind everyday products, procedures, and corporate corner-cutting. From button batteries to broken healthcare systems, Roundup to reckless regulation, he’s not here to scare you—he’s here to inform you.

 

Together, they dive into:

✅ Why U.S. regulations are far weaker than most of the developed world
✅ How social media became the new courtroom for public awareness
✅ The deadly truth behind common household items (like water beads and toy batteries)
✅ What really happens when companies value profit over people
✅ The essential questions you must ask at your next doctor’s visit

 

They also break down how Tom’s personal story led to his mission, why punitive damages matter, and how “dumb ways to die” are often more preventable than we think.

 

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re being told the whole story when it comes to your health, safety, or consumer rights—this episode is your wake-up call.

 

🎧 Tune in to hear how Tom is:

✨ Demystifying medical malpractice and mass torts
✨ Making legal info accessible to everyone—not just the elite
✨ Building a firm that fights for families, not corporations
✨ Using social media to protect the public from preventable harm
