  Hi everyone, welcome to Mini Scroll, the daily Internet
• 0:04
  culture podcast bringing you the biggest stories from social
• 0:07
  media, the creator economy and the digital space every Monday
• 0:11
  through Thursday. I'm your host, Lauren Meisner,
• 0:14
  the founder of the youth digital media brand Centennial World.
• 0:19
  I said that a little bit, I don't know, high pitched.
• 0:23
  Welcome back to Mini Scroll everyone.
• 0:26
  Oh my God. OK, we need to get right into
• 0:27
  the stories because the first story that I have for you guys,
• 0:30
  it's like 5 pages long in my notes.
• 0:32
  And I spent all morning on Google Translate because I'm
• 0:37
  going to be sharing with you the full tea about Kiara Ferragni
• 0:41
  speaking out about her ex-husband Fedez and everything
• 0:45
  that has unfolded from that. So this is incredibly, deeply
• 0:49
  millennial of me, but I need to talk about this.
• 0:54
  I have been obsessed with Chiara for like over a decade.
• 0:58
  She was one of the first Instagram influencers that I
• 1:01
  ever followed along with Peace Love, Shay, Alexandra Perriera.
• 1:06
  Perriera, I think is how you say it.
• 1:08
  Pereira, Pereira, probably those girlies were like my OG
• 1:13
  Instagram influencers. And I was actually trying to
• 1:15
  think when I was writing notes for this, I was like, how did
• 1:19
  you even find Instagram influencers back then?
• 1:22
  Because there was no explore page.
• 1:24
  There was no discovery tool at all.
• 1:26
  I have no idea how I found Instagram influencers, but
• 1:31
  actually peace love Shay, who now goes, I think by Shay Marie.
• 1:35
  She was the first person that I ever heard refer to herself as
• 1:38
  an influencer. I had never even heard that word
• 1:40
  before in terms of like a job title.
• 1:42
  And I remember somebody asked her in like Q&A, what's your
• 1:46
  job, what you do for a living? And she said, my job is
• 1:49
  technically being a quote UN quote influencer.
• 1:52
  And I remember being like, Oh my God.
• 1:53
  And then she explained like what that meant.
• 1:55
  And she's like, you know, I work with brands and whatever on
• 1:58
  Instagram, things like that. And I was like, Oh my God, I had
• 2:00
  never heard that word before. So she's the first one.
• 2:02
  Those three I've been obsessed with forever.
• 2:04
  But Kiara, I feel like has just been very like normal and not
• 2:11
  normal. Like she's incredibly wealthy
• 2:13
  and incredibly successful in her life is not normal.
• 2:16
  But the way that she interacts online feels very normal.
• 2:20
  You know, I think a lot of the OG influencers either stay kind
• 2:23
  of stuck in that like over curated vibe or they really pull
• 2:28
  back because they kind of did the fame thing, the influencer
• 2:31
  thing, and now they're focused on a business or I don't know.
• 2:34
  And they are kind of burned by early Internet fame because as
• 2:38
  we know early Internet fame, I actually think it's probably for
• 2:41
  women more toxic than like current Internet fame.
• 2:45
  But yes, Kiara has done the opposite.
• 2:47
  Like she posts 24/7 like whatever is going on in her
• 2:51
  life. Her content is not overly
• 2:53
  curated. She just seems very like she
• 2:56
  uses Instagram as if it's like her personal Instagram.
• 2:58
  And I really like it. Anyways.
• 2:59
  OK for anyone who doesn't know, Kiara is one of the OG fashion
• 3:02
  bloggers. She had a blog called The Blonde
• 3:05
  Salad, which also turned to a clothing and accessories line.
• 3:08
  She's Italian, she lives in Milan, and she has nearly 30
• 3:12
  million Instagram followers. Chiara lived in LA for a few
• 3:15
  years while she dated this American photographer, but she
• 3:18
  seemed to permanently relocate back to Italy after they split
• 3:21
  and she started dating Fetez, who is an Italian rapper.
• 3:24
  I guess at the time Fetez was a lot more famous than Chiara.
• 3:28
  I saw an Italian creator explaining that Chiara wasn't
• 3:30
  really respected in Italy despite being like so Internet
• 3:34
  famous and so successful, I guess just because the career of
• 3:37
  influencing for many years was not really considered like a
• 3:42
  reputable career and getting with Feta's actually helped her
• 3:46
  build that credibility in Italy. So they met in 2016, they got
• 3:50
  married in 2018 and their wedding was absolutely insane.
• 3:53
  It was like a multi day event. It had a hashtag, I think it was
• 3:58
  called the Fragnes. I think that's what they called
• 4:01
  themselves. And the wedding cost an
• 4:03
  estimated 1.3 million Australian daughters daughters dollars.
• 4:09
  They had two children together, a son and a daughter.
• 4:12
  I think they had their son before they got married and he
• 4:15
  was like part of their wedding. So their marriage, if you guys
• 4:19
  have followed them closely, looked so passionate, like
• 4:23
  that's actually the way that I would describe it.
• 4:25
  They seemed so in love. They seemed like they just had
• 4:28
  this insane chemistry. It seemed really exciting, like
• 4:34
  they just seemed like perfect for each other.
• 4:36
  They also had a reality show at one point and feta's also had
• 4:40
  some serious health problems around 2022 which they
• 4:44
  documented on social media. And again they just seemed like
• 4:47
  so in love and so obsessed with each other and just so
• 4:51
  passionate. At the start of 2024 rumors
• 4:54
  started swirling that they had split.
• 4:57
  Fed has confirmed that they broke up around April 2024 and
• 5:01
  everyone again was like, what the fuck?
• 5:02
  Because they seemed so perfect. So the way that the narrative
• 5:06
  played out initially was that she kicked him out and she was
• 5:09
  kind of vilified as like the one who left their marriage.
• 5:13
  This narrative was pushed even harder amid Chiara's cake
• 5:17
  charity scandal in December 2023, which people now refer to
• 5:21
  as Pandorogate. So Chiara was dealing with
• 5:24
  Pandorogate. So from like December 2023 into
• 5:27
  like mid 2024, I think she's honestly still kind of dealing
• 5:30
  with it. So yes, when people started
• 5:33
  thinking, oh, maybe they're broken up and then fed us
• 5:34
  confirmed in April. So this was all like, wow, this
• 5:37
  scandal was going on and being reported on.
• 5:40
  So this is what the scandal was just like very high level for
• 5:43
  you guys. In 2022, KR did a partnership
• 5:46
  with Bolacco, whom I don't sorry, I have no idea if I said
• 5:49
  that right. I probably did not.
• 5:50
  They make those Italian Christmas cakes similar to
• 5:53
  Panetone. She designed a limited edition
• 5:55
  pink pandoro cake and these cakes were marketed as a
• 5:59
  charitable venture, saying that the proceeds would go to a
• 6:02
  Children's Hospital in Italy. It was later revealed that the
• 6:06
  cake proceeds and the donation made to the hospital did not add
• 6:10
  up. So the partnership was basically
• 6:13
  investigated. Chiara lost a ton of brand deals
• 6:17
  and followers off the back of the scandal and ultimately she
• 6:20
  was fined 1.8 million Australian dollars for false advertising.
• 6:26
  I want to make a note here that it was really never confirmed or
• 6:31
  denied. If Chiara understood what was
• 6:34
  happening here, she was fine because she was the face of it.
• 6:38
  You know, it was her platform, her followers.
• 6:40
  I assume This is why she was fined.
• 6:42
  But, you know, it was not like it didn't come out that she was
• 6:46
  like intentionally keeping this money or she knew that this
• 6:50
  money was not going to the hospital.
• 6:52
  What I'm thinking happened, and maybe this is just because I
• 6:54
  love her, but I'm going to believe what happened was what
• 6:58
  happens honestly, when a lot of influencers kind of get in bed
• 7:01
  with like shady partnerships. Is the brand or the agency or
• 7:06
  whoever behind it is just skimming too much off the top or
• 7:10
  they're not following through on their promises.
• 7:13
  And the influencer really is like the face of that.
• 7:15
  And at the end of the day, like it's going to fall on the
• 7:17
  influencer because like they are the face of it, right?
• 7:19
  Like it's their name, it's their followers, it's their reputation
• 7:23
  that's being put on the line there.
• 7:25
  And so I think I think that's what happened here.
• 7:27
  I'm going to get into this again in a minute because she does
• 7:30
  address it like in everything recently that's been happening.
• 7:33
  OK, So while this was coming out, while the cake situation
• 7:38
  was happening, Feta's told the press this scandal was the final
• 7:42
  nail in the coffin for his relationship with Kiara.
• 7:45
  So kind of painting her as a villain as if she was like
• 7:49
  intentionally scamming her followers and that is a very
• 7:53
  shady thing for someone who was in a six year marriage or
• 7:57
  relationship with this person to do.
• 7:59
  There were whispers on Italian Reddit and TikTok for the past
• 8:03
  year that this narrative wasn't all that it seemed, but she had
• 8:07
  never really clarified anything. The one thing that had changed,
• 8:10
  I mean obviously aside from like they got a divorce so he wasn't
• 8:14
  in her content anymore, is that she was no longer posting her
• 8:17
  children. Like she would post only like
• 8:19
  she wouldn't post their faces. She would maybe post a picture
• 8:21
  and their hands would be in it or like the back of their head
• 8:24
  or whatever. So people were like, OK, that's
• 8:26
  interesting. This must be like a custody
• 8:29
  situation. 2 days ago, a former Italian paparazzi named Fabrizio
• 8:34
  Corona, who was also friends with Fettes, dropped a bombshell
• 8:38
  expose on his YouTube channel basically claiming that Fettes
• 8:41
  had a six year affair with a 26 year old woman who I guess was
• 8:45
  like 20 when they started dating because she's 26 now.
• 8:48
  This is from an Italian website called Ill Masarajo.
• 8:52
  Quote. According to Corona in the
• 8:53
  singers heart there has always been another woman and he has
• 8:57
  suffered for her. The woman in question is named
• 9:01
  Angelica Montini, Blonde and Melanie.
• 9:04
  She would have been part of Fed as his life.
• 9:06
  Even during the marriage with Chiara Ferragni, the influencer
• 9:10
  supposedly discovered it by chance.
• 9:12
  After the separation, the rapper accidentally revealed it during
• 9:16
  a phone call. He thought he was talking to me,
• 9:18
  but he was talking to Chiara. At one point, he realized that
• 9:22
  Ferragni had hung up and found a message saying you're a jerk.
• 9:25
  Like I said at the very beginning of this story, I have
• 9:28
  been deep in the weeds of Google Translate of trying to piece
• 9:31
  this all together. I do want to say I believe I
• 9:34
  have the true story, but definitely there could be some
• 9:38
  like timeline mess ups or some like mistranslations here and
• 9:42
  things like that. But I saw people saying that
• 9:45
  like this was the narrative that, you know, he was like all
• 9:48
  fucked up and thought he was talking to his girlfriend
• 9:53
  Angelica, but he was actually talking to Chiara when he
• 9:56
  admitted that he'd been having this affair, which is why this
• 9:59
  says he thought he was talking to me as an Angelica I guess is
• 10:01
  saying this, but he was talking to Chiara.
• 10:03
  So Chiara and Fedez reached a divorce agreement in November
• 10:08
  2024 and Corona says that on December 18th 2024, Angelica
• 10:14
  broke up with fetas again after like six or seven years of
• 10:17
  dating and being his mistress. And if my timeline is correct,
• 10:22
  it was after this that Fed has told Kiara that he considered
• 10:26
  leaving her at the altar for Angelica.
• 10:30
  He apparently was on the phone with Angelica 10 minutes before
• 10:33
  his wedding to Kiara started and told her that all she had to do
• 10:37
  was say the word and he would not go through with it.
• 10:41
  And people online basically just assume that he told Chiara this
• 10:45
  even though they were already broken up to kind of just like
• 10:48
  as a power move, right? Like to rub salt in the wound,
• 10:50
  he was like really hurt that Angelica dumped him.
• 10:53
  He was heartbroken and he was basically crashing out.
• 10:56
  So in Corona's video, I guess he implied that Chiara and Fedez
• 11:00
  were in an open relationship and she was OK with this affair or
• 11:05
  like knew about it or something like that.
• 11:07
  But now, after almost complete silence on her divorce this
• 11:11
  whole time time, Kiara has made a statement on Instagram
• 11:13
  basically saying it was not an open relationship and sharing
• 11:16
  her side of the story. And I completely get why she
• 11:20
  wanted to clarify this. Like I can't even tell you guys.
• 11:22
  The videos that are produced on this man's YouTube channel are
• 11:25
  like documentaries. It is actually like one of the
• 11:29
  craziest things I've ever seen. So these are the Instagram
• 11:32
  stories translated. I have chosen to remain silent
• 11:35
  in these months to protect myself and my family in two
• 11:38
  matters that have deeply marked me on.
• 11:41
  On the one hand, the professional one, for which I
• 11:43
  will do everything in my power to substantiate my arguments and
• 11:47
  prove my innocence. So that's what she's saying
• 11:49
  about the cake gates. So she is going to pay the fine,
• 11:53
  I guess. But she's just saying like, I'm
• 11:55
  going to continually work to prove that, like I did not scam
• 11:59
  my followers, like I did not know that this was happening.
• 12:02
  And on the other hand, the private one, for which I will no
• 12:05
  longer remain silent. I lived seven years in a
• 12:09
  relationship in which I loved the way I loved, without
• 12:12
  inhibitions and with my whole being.
• 12:14
  I loved even when there were many reasons to give up.
• 12:17
  I endured situations in which I would have told any friend,
• 12:20
  don't let anyone do this. Because for me, love was also to
• 12:24
  sacrifice. To constantly minimize the lack
• 12:27
  of respect and justify wrong behaviors.
• 12:29
  To protect the other party, to protect the family, to protect
• 12:33
  the couple. Because I've always considered
• 12:35
  myself the strong one, the independent one, the one then
• 12:38
  who should fight for everyone. So I didn't say anything even
• 12:41
  when I was being abandoned from one day to the next during my
• 12:44
  first period of difficulty last February when I could barely get
• 12:48
  out of bed. I assume this is what she's
• 12:49
  referring to, the cake gate situation.
• 12:51
  Because like I said, it was like December 2023 when stuff started
• 12:55
  like circulating. And then I assume obviously
• 12:58
  February 2024, so like within the next couple months is
• 13:02
  probably when she was being investigated and maybe when she
• 13:04
  was fined. I'm not sure the exact timeline
• 13:06
  on that. I heard many times that I kicked
• 13:08
  him out of the house, but it was never said that I kicked him out
• 13:11
  of the house after discovering up a trail in those days.
• 13:14
  One of many, of course. And it was never said that he
• 13:18
  didn't hesitate to take advantage of the moment as not
• 13:21
  to be tarnished by damaging my image.
• 13:24
  So again, taking advantage of the moment as in cake Gate.
• 13:27
  So he took advantage of saying that was the final nail in the
• 13:30
  coffin, like being public about that and using that as like his
• 13:34
  excuse because he actually told the press around the same time
• 13:37
  that he said the cake situation was the final nail in the
• 13:40
  coffin. He also told the press there was
• 13:42
  no infidelity. I didn't say anything publicly
• 13:44
  in the months that followed, not even after I discovered that
• 13:47
  everything was happening behind my back as I tried to get him
• 13:50
  out of all of his dark moments without knowing anything.
• 13:53
  I didn't say anything publicly when a few days before Christmas
• 13:56
  2024 Frederico called me as in Fedez, knowing full while he was
• 14:01
  talking to me and admitted for the first time that the story
• 14:04
  with his girlfriend had been going on.
• 14:06
  Sorry, not the story of the affair with his girlfriend had
• 14:08
  been going on since 2017 and that he had thought about not
• 14:12
  getting married a few days before the wedding, but then he
• 14:15
  didn't know how to back out of the public eye.
• 14:17
  So she is saying she knows that he knew he was talking to her
• 14:22
  and not to Angelica on that phone call.
• 14:24
  Details like the phone call to her just before he went down the
• 14:27
  aisle telling her that one affirmation from her would be
• 14:30
  enough to leave everything behind, or remembering her
• 14:33
  messages in the hospital bed while I was there shaking her
• 14:37
  hand and praying that the evil would come to me instead of him
• 14:40
  so that I wouldn't see him suffer are very painful.
• 14:42
  So this is what she's referring to, His really bad health
• 14:45
  problems in 2022. I remain silent on many topics
• 14:49
  and slander to continue pretending as if nothing had
• 14:51
  happened. My relationship with Frederico
• 14:54
  was real to me. I have never been in an open
• 14:56
  relationship. It was obviously open only to
• 14:59
  the other party without me knowing.
• 15:01
  And despite all that, I am proud to have loved unconditionally.
• 15:04
  I am sorry that for the other party I have been a person to be
• 15:07
  mocked and used as desired. But sometimes it is good to open
• 15:11
  your eyes, understand the consequences, suffer, stand up
• 15:14
  and understand you deserve something different, a love that
• 15:17
  may not be perfect, but at least true and experienced equally by
• 15:20
  both parties. I wish it for myself now.
• 15:23
  Corona, the psycho man has responded with his own Instagram
• 15:28
  story, saying again, Google Translate here.
• 15:32
  You have been silent all these years.
• 15:33
  Not because you wanted to turn the page and not to dwell on the
• 15:36
  pain. Not because you have two
• 15:38
  children who will hear everything.
• 15:40
  For a year now, the only thing you've asked Frederico is to be
• 15:43
  able to show the children you who are never with the children,
• 15:47
  only overpaid babysitters again, right?
• 15:50
  This is what I was talking about, how she stopped showing
• 15:52
  her kids on Instagram. Your ex-husband didn't decide at
• 15:56
  the table with his friend. You forget, dear Kiara, who I am
• 15:59
  and what I do. Oh my God this is threatening.
• 16:01
  My name is Fabrizio Corona and Frederica let himself go.
• 16:05
  But I loved him and I love him. I made a choice in my life to do
• 16:10
  this job and no one can stop me. Just like no one will stop me
• 16:13
  from sending the third part of this story.
• 16:17
  I will tell the perfect little wife that you are, how much
• 16:20
  bullshit you have been telling for 15 years.
• 16:23
  All the details of your little circle, your dirty business and
• 16:27
  the real love that you have lived by constantly betraying
• 16:30
  him. Let's start with someone who
• 16:32
  sings at SEM Renault this year, Achille Lauro.
• 16:35
  Do you remember when you admitted to fit AS that you
• 16:38
  fucked him? OK so this corona man who like I
• 16:41
  said was paparazzi friends with feta's and then for some reason
• 16:45
  released this crazy documentary that exposed that feta's was
• 16:49
  having this affair with Angelica now is also accusing Chiara of
• 16:54
  being an absent mother, betraying Feta's as well and
• 16:58
  sleeping with this man Akili Lauro.
• 17:01
  What? No like this is actually the
• 17:05
  plot of a movie. This is truly crazy.
• 17:09
  I feel so bad for Kiara. I have no idea why this
• 17:14
  paparazzi man I like. Is he still friends with Fettes?
• 17:17
  If you guys know more about like his relationship with Fettes,
• 17:20
  can you let me know? Because why would he be like
• 17:23
  like in this Instagram story, it sounds like he's standing up for
• 17:26
  Fettes. But then he released this
• 17:27
  documentary which basically put him on blast and showed that he
• 17:30
  had this affair for six years. I don't understand what's going
• 17:33
  on. But that is from start to
• 17:35
  finish, basically the synopsis of everything that is currently
• 17:41
  happening online on Instagram stories, on YouTube with Kiara
• 17:45
  Fettes and this random man Corona.
• 17:47
  The next story that I have for you guys is I am going to break
• 17:50
  down Mikayla Testa's allegations against Anna Paul.
• 17:55
  So Mikayla Testa has published a wild TikTok video filled with
• 17:59
  allegations against Anna Paul. She has accused Anna Paul of
• 18:02
  being a fraud, running an illegal lottery system and she
• 18:06
  also accused Anna's brother other Addis of abuse.
• 18:09
  So for background, Anna is one of Australia's most popular
• 18:13
  TikTok creators with 7 million followers.
• 18:16
  She's 25 years old and is also a very popular only fans model.
• 18:20
  For anyone that does not follow Anna, I know we have a lot of US
• 18:22
  listeners as well. She is literally like the
• 18:25
  darling of Australian TikTok. She is body positive.
• 18:29
  She's like happy, silly, goofy. She vlogs literally like every
• 18:33
  single day of her life. And despite being an only fans
• 18:36
  model, her audience seems to be largely young women.
• 18:40
  And that's why, you know, she launched a skin care line and
• 18:44
  it's very like juvenile is not the right word.
• 18:46
  It's very youthful, you know, and it's definitely targeted
• 18:49
  towards young women. And I assume they would only do
• 18:52
  that knowing that her audience is largely young women.
• 18:55
  And you know, I just think like the way that she brands herself
• 18:58
  on social media feels very different to the fact that she
• 19:01
  is an only fans model. Michaela is also a creator slash
• 19:05
  Only Fans model and has been friends with since they were 15.
• 19:09
  Michaela dated Anna's brother Addis from 2019 to 2022.
• 19:14
  So recently Michaela posted on Instagram stories calling out an
• 19:18
  unnamed influencer for hosting online giveaways that she felt
• 19:21
  fall under basically like a lottery system.
• 19:25
  Many fans speculated that this was Anna.
• 19:27
  But then Michaela came out and made this TikTok so everyone's
• 19:31
  like, OK, this is surely had to be about Anna.
• 19:34
  The video is almost 9 minutes long so that's obviously quite
• 19:37
  long for TikTok. So let me go through the
• 19:39
  allegations for you. The first one is that Anna
• 19:42
  basically doesn't care about her fans.
• 19:44
  Michaela gave an example of a time when Anna was approached by
• 19:47
  a plus size fan in public ones and they took a photo.
• 19:50
  Anna told the girl she loved her and hugged her and then when she
• 19:54
  walked away, she told Addis that she was annoying and gross and
• 19:58
  she didn't want to hug the fan because she was, quote, fat and
• 20:00
  sweaty. You don't know her.
• 20:02
  You don't know her like I know her, Michaela said.
• 20:04
  You have never met her and if you have, it's nothing more than
• 20:07
  a 5 second selfie. These people who watch her don't
• 20:10
  know the Anna that I know. They know the other Anna, the
• 20:12
  one she wears when the camera starts rolling.
• 20:15
  Everything Anna does is calculated, but she masks the
• 20:18
  manipulation extremely well with an innocent sweet girl facade
• 20:22
  posting all these videos about self love and body positivity.
• 20:25
  OK, so one of Anna's things is that she gives away a lot of
• 20:29
  money and does a lot of like giveaways for her followers.
• 20:32
  And essentially Michaela claims that Anna's money giveaways are
• 20:35
  all for clout, they're performative.
• 20:37
  And I don't know, I'm not surprised by this.
• 20:39
  I think if you are constantly giving away gifts and money and
• 20:44
  prizes on social media, it's because you want the engagement,
• 20:48
  you want the views, you want the clout, you want the praise it's
• 20:51
  giving Mr. Beast and David Dobrik.
• 20:54
  Michaela also claims that Anna's fanbase is predominantly
• 20:57
  underage and some of her giveaways include subscribing to
• 21:00
  her only fans to enter, therefore making it allegedly
• 21:04
  like an illegal lottery since you basically have to pay to
• 21:08
  enter these giveaways. I'm not familiar with these.
• 21:10
  I actually don't really follow Anna.
• 21:12
  Like obviously familiar with her, but I'm not totally sure if
• 21:17
  that's accurate if that's true. But yeah, she's basically saying
• 21:19
  her only fans cost $16.00 a month.
• 21:22
  So if you're paying her $16.00 to then enter this giveaway that
• 21:25
  basically is like a lottery system as opposed to just doing
• 21:28
  like a giveaway where it's free to enter.
• 21:31
  She claims Anna lies about her upbringing.
• 21:33
  Quote, their dad made triple the average Australian income per
• 21:36
  week. Had them living in a beautiful
• 21:38
  house on the water with a built in Pool.
• 21:40
  I've seen the house in person. It's beautiful.
• 21:42
  Being upper middle class is not being poor.
• 21:45
  Anna, your exaggerated stories for the Internet have always
• 21:48
  made your dad upset and me, well, just angry.
• 21:51
  I was a real victim of the system and poverty, like you
• 21:54
  portrayed yourself online. Remember that time when he
• 21:57
  called you out in the living room?
• 21:58
  As in her dad, he didn't understand why you would post
• 22:01
  such things and he called them lies.
• 22:03
  But you need the story. Faking your poverty so people
• 22:06
  excuse your schemes and wealth and feel bad for you.
• 22:09
  Every calculated story serving such an important role.
• 22:12
  This web you weave to entrap these people's pity.
• 22:15
  And then she detailed some alleged abuse that she faced at
• 22:20
  the hands of Addis. She said she was a victim of
• 22:22
  financial abuse and she also claimed that Ada sexually
• 22:26
  assaulted his former girlfriend and said that she believes it.
• 22:29
  But yeah, I will keep you guys posted if Anna this like from
• 22:33
  what I'm recording, she has not responded.
• 22:35
  So I'll keep you guys posted on how this goes.
• 22:37
  If anyone else like really notable speaks out or addresses
• 22:41
  this, I will include it in next week's mini.
• 22:44
  And then the last quick little story that I wanted to share.
• 22:48
  So there is this new blind item. So grain of salt, but there's
• 22:51
  this new blind item going around that Brooke Schofield is
• 22:55
  possibly getting pushed out of the cancelled podcast by Tana.
• 22:58
  I know that this rumor has been going around for a while, but
• 23:01
  then I saw people talking about how it feels like it makes sense
• 23:04
  because Not Loveline, which is the podcast with Tricia and Tana
• 23:07
  has stopped being so heavily focused on like viewer Collins
• 23:12
  and like love stories, dating stories, but it's a lot of like
• 23:16
  pop culture now, I guess. I don't know.
• 23:18
  I actually haven't been listening so I don't know if
• 23:20
  that's true. If you guys have listened, let
• 23:22
  me know. Comment down below.
• 23:23
  But yes, apparently they have been veering into the pop
• 23:25
  culture territory. And in the first episode, I did
• 23:28
  watch this part in the first episode, Tana and Trisha both
• 23:31
  talked about how they didn't want to talk about pop culture
• 23:33
  and things that would kind of like impede on their existing
• 23:37
  podcast vibe, right? So Trish on just Trish, she
• 23:41
  talks about the hot topics, which is like pop culture,
• 23:44
  Internet culture. And then obviously Tana and
• 23:46
  Brooke talk a lot about pop culture, Internet culture.
• 23:48
  So yes, I think that could be a sign.
• 23:51
  It could also just be like what they know, filling time, all
• 23:55
  that kind of stuff. I know that the cancelled
• 23:58
  followers and fans haven't been very happy because I guess like
• 24:01
  the upload schedule has been really inconsistent since
• 24:04
  Brooke's like quote UN quote cancellation.
• 24:06
  And Brooke was saying on TikTok that she can't control it
• 24:10
  because she doesn't do the uploading like Tana does.
• 24:12
  And everybody was like, well, is Tana not like your Co host and
• 24:15
  your best friend? Like, can't you just like, text
• 24:17
  her and be like, hey, whereas the episode, can you upload it?
• 24:20
  So yeah, I think people feel like something's going on there
• 24:25
  between them. Brooke has, I would say,
• 24:28
  struggled to recover reputation wise from everything that
• 24:32
  happened last year. So I wouldn't be surprised if it
• 24:35
  just feels like a bad business decision to keep the podcast
• 24:39
  going with her. It was Tana's podcast to begin
• 24:41
  with. But yes, again, just a blind
• 24:44
  item. All right guys, well that's it
• 24:45
  for today. Thank you so much for listening
• 24:48
  to Mini Scroll. I love you guys.
