MINI SCROLL: Trisha Paytas addresses Frenemies end, Diddy update + Sepia Bride divorce · Mini Scroll

• 0:00
  Hi everyone, welcome to Mini Scroll, the daily Internet
• 0:03
  culture podcast bringing you the biggest stories from social
• 0:07
  media, the creator economy and the digital space every Monday
• 0:10
  through Thursday. I'm your host, Lauren Meisner,
• 0:13
  the founder of the youth digital media brand Centennial World.
• 0:18
  Welcome back to Mini Scroll everyone, and happy Wednesday.
• 0:22
  OK, I have some housekeeping stuff to get through before we
• 0:25
  get into the stories for today. First of all, if you guys watch
• 0:29
  the podcast #1 we are available now on Spotify to watch and #2
• 0:35
  my sleeve is soaking wet because I spilled soy sauce on it when I
• 0:39
  was having lunch and it didn't have time to dry.
• 0:42
  The next housekeeping thing is that tomorrow I will be filming
• 0:46
  or recording AQ and A for the podcast that will go live on
• 0:51
  Friday, October 11th. So instead of a deep dive, you
• 0:54
  guys will get AQ and A from me. I don't know how I feel about Q
• 0:58
  and AS like I, I love watching them.
• 1:00
  I don't know how I feel about producing one for the podcast
• 1:02
  because it feels a bit like lazy content.
• 1:06
  However, once a year, Jordy and I typically did AQ and A, so I
• 1:10
  did want to keep that going for you guys because there's so many
• 1:13
  new listeners now, especially with YouTube.
• 1:16
  Also because we have a very busy week the following week because
• 1:20
  it's South by Southwest in Sydney.
• 1:22
  So very exciting. We are partnering with a brand
• 1:25
  for the first couple of days. So we'll be on the ground there
• 1:28
  Monday, Tuesday and then I'm actually speaking on two panels
• 1:33
  on Wednesday and one of them apparently allegedly is on the
• 1:37
  mainstage. So it's going to be a crazy week
• 1:41
  and my team and I will not have time to prep and record our
• 1:46
  typical like meaty deep dive for the next Friday after that.
• 1:50
  So basically my point is we need to do all the prepping and
• 1:53
  recording in the next like week and a half to backlog for the
• 1:57
  busyness. So I needed something easy to
• 2:00
  get up for next week. And I don't know, I didn't want
• 2:03
  to leave you guys hanging. I know I could have maybe just
• 2:05
  not released one, but I just took two weeks off.
• 2:07
  So I felt kind of bad. So that being said, in terms of
• 2:11
  schedule and also by the way, there's always time stamps down
• 2:13
  below. Whenever I do anything
• 2:15
  housekeeping on mini scroll, people are like skip to blah,
• 2:18
  blah, blah. And it's like there are always
• 2:19
  time stamps. If you don't give a shit, skip
• 2:21
  to the time stamps. So Monday, this coming Monday,
• 2:24
  the 7th is a holiday, a public holiday in Australia, so or at
• 2:28
  least in NSW. So I will be off then.
• 2:33
  So there will be no mini scroll on Monday and the Wednesday when
• 2:36
  I'm speaking on two panels at South by Southwest, which is
• 2:39
  October 16th, there will also be no mini scroll.
• 2:42
  Then because I literally just will not have capacity, I will
• 2:45
  not be able to get a mini scroll up.
• 2:47
  I will be very focused on something else.
• 2:50
  The reason why I brought up the Q&A, sorry, I completely just
• 2:53
  went off track there is because if you have questions, please
• 2:56
  either comment them on YouTube on this video on the community
• 2:59
  tab, I put a little blurb where you can leave a comment or you
• 3:03
  can slide into my Instagram DMS. I put a comment box on Instagram
• 3:07
  or you can also leave it on Spotify.
• 3:08
  You can comment specifically on certain episodes.
• 3:11
  So lots of ways to ask me questions.
• 3:14
  OK. The first story that I have for
• 3:15
  you guys is that Trisha Paytas has addressed the end of
• 3:20
  Frenemies on the Soul Boom podcast.
• 3:23
  So Tricia went on Rainn Wilson's podcast this week, which is like
• 3:26
  truly the craziest crossover. Another absolutely crazy
• 3:30
  crossover. And I don't know if this is
• 3:31
  going to mean very much to you guys, but for me, a Bravo
• 3:36
  obsessed queen, Brittany Cartwright from Vanderpump
• 3:40
  Rules. And is it Brie, not Brie Larson,
• 3:43
  Brie Van de Kamp? Marsha Cross?
• 3:47
  They posted a photo together like 2 days ago and I lost my
• 3:51
  mind. I have no idea.
• 3:53
  Those two people to me do not exist in the same world.
• 3:55
  They do not exist in the same universe, in the same realm.
• 3:59
  I literally thought I was in the Twilight Zone.
• 4:03
  So yes, Tricia Paytas and Rainn Wilson are kind of up there on
• 4:06
  that list for me as well. So she went on his podcast and
• 4:09
  she finally spoke for the first time about the dissolution of
• 4:12
  frenemies from 20/21. So I'll play a clip, but I will
• 4:16
  say she didn't get into like too many specifics.
• 4:19
  However, Rain also wouldn't let her stay vague or like wouldn't
• 4:25
  let her kind of brush it under the rug.
• 4:27
  So he really did press her and I thought it was an interesting
• 4:31
  response, so I'll play the clip. Honestly, it's like traumatic.
• 4:35
  I don't, I've never talked about it like it's, it's online.
• 4:38
  I think if people know, they know, but it's actually and a
• 4:40
  lot of it was. Can you?
• 4:41
  Talk about it here. Is this a safe space?
• 4:45
  It is, but I don't know if the internet's a safe space like I,
• 4:48
  because you know what, because it is still so fresh, right?
• 4:50
  Like it's a few years ago, a lot of it was brought on by me.
• 4:53
  I would say like 90% of it was definitely brought on by me
• 4:56
  because I just, I couldn't handle the triggers that I was
• 4:59
  able to. There's just a situation I was
• 5:01
  in that triggered me a lot and I'm putting it all on me and
• 5:03
  like not on anyone else. Like it triggered me so much and
• 5:06
  I thought I was like strong enough to like handle these
• 5:08
  triggers, but it just, it didn't work.
• 5:10
  So I had a psychotic break in September of 2021.
• 5:14
  What happened? I went online, there's it's
• 5:17
  deleted now. I just went on Twitter.
• 5:18
  It wasn't even YouTube. And I just was like screaming,
• 5:20
  sobbing, like I couldn't control myself, like I couldn't breathe.
• 5:23
  Just like shouting at people to like leave me alone.
• 5:26
  And let me just pause you right there.
• 5:29
  What is it about you? And I'm just really trying to
• 5:31
  understand this. Like I'm.
• 5:34
  I'm so activated, I'm so angry, I'm so triggered.
• 5:38
  I'm so overwhelmed. I'm about to just lose my Shim.
• 5:41
  I have psychotic break. Yeah, but I gotta log in.
• 5:44
  Yeah. And hit live stream and put it
• 5:47
  in the tripod and press and make sure my lights on.
• 5:51
  And now I'm going to have the psychotic break.
• 5:54
  What is going on? What OK, what is what's the deal
• 5:57
  with that though? What is that impulse?
• 5:58
  And again, is it because you're getting that reward from doing
• 6:01
  it? The more that you have kind of
• 6:03
  nervous breakdowns online, then you get, you know, the money
• 6:06
  truck backs up or what I. Think in the past it would have
• 6:08
  been, but this was the reason I mentioned Twitter is because
• 6:10
  like you couldn't monetize Twitter back then.
• 6:11
  So I remember putting it because to me it was like, because I've
• 6:15
  been cancelled, I've been in so many feuds.
• 6:17
  Again, a lot of my doing I was drama.
• 6:20
  I'm. Going to slow you down here
• 6:22
  because I know I want to get, there's a lot of big
• 6:24
  generalizations I don't want to get like real, more specific
• 6:26
  like, yeah. One thing I've never talked
• 6:28
  about and I because I've healed so much because it was literally
• 6:31
  like, and this sounds so silly because it's like I've been
• 6:34
  through like like literally sexual assault when I was a kid
• 6:37
  by like teachers like crazy shit.
• 6:38
  But this like one event? I don't know, it's just
• 6:40
  something I haven't processed or worked through quite yet.
• 6:43
  So I've seen a lot, of course, about this particular moment on
• 6:47
  the podcast, on Reddit. People are saying they're proud
• 6:51
  of her for taking accountability and kind of, you know, taking
• 6:55
  ownership of a lot of what happened between her and Ethan.
• 6:58
  And then there are other people who are saying that her response
• 7:01
  feels very reminiscent of, like, when you are dealing with
• 7:04
  somebody, especially in your family, who is so toxic that you
• 7:09
  just have to, like, take the blame and just kind of deflect
• 7:12
  from the question because you don't want to end up getting,
• 7:15
  you know, abusive text messages or end up being talked about
• 7:20
  more by that person who is really toxic.
• 7:22
  And so some people feel like maybe that's what she was doing
• 7:26
  in that moment because she doesn't want to publicly talk
• 7:28
  talk about it. Because I think there has been a
• 7:31
  shift in perception about Ethan Klein over the last probably
• 7:35
  like year. I would say mostly, and that's
• 7:38
  also a big discussion on Reddit is people are talking about this
• 7:41
  specific clip. And then they're talking about,
• 7:43
  you know, how they kind of perceive Ethan and Tricia's
• 7:47
  relationship and also the dissolution of their
• 7:49
  relationship with a new perspective on Ethan.
• 7:52
  And that's absolutely not to absolve Tricia from her horrible
• 7:56
  behavior over the years on front Emmys throughout that period.
• 8:00
  Yeah, she has had, I mean, we've done deep dives on her.
• 8:03
  I actually think I might do an updated deep dive because I
• 8:05
  think the last time Jordy and I did a deep dive on her, we did
• 8:08
  A2 parter and I think it was like 20-20, maybe 20/21.
• 8:13
  It was a long time ago. I was thinking about doing an
• 8:15
  updated one. But yeah, she, you guys know, I
• 8:19
  love her, but she is seriously problematic and has done some
• 8:24
  seriously horrible fucked up things.
• 8:26
  But Frenemies just gave us, I mean, frenemies was so special
• 8:30
  when it was good. It was so good and people loved
• 8:35
  to see their friendship bloom, their families merge like that.
• 8:39
  But now it's so much more complicated with children
• 8:42
  involved with, you know, Ethan. I mean, I'm with Tricia and
• 8:46
  Moses getting married. Like there is a lot more at
• 8:49
  stake now. So I appreciate that.
• 8:52
  She was really, I think that answer was really graceful on
• 8:54
  Rain Wilson's podcast. And I will let you guys know if
• 8:58
  Ethan responds because I feel like he might OK the next story
• 9:03
  that I have. This is a big trigger warning.
• 9:06
  I am giving a Diddy update and it is a really horrible story.
• 9:11
  So definitely go down to the time stamps or click out.
• 9:14
  So 120 more people have come forward with sexual assault
• 9:19
  allegations against Diddy since his arrest, including 25 minors.
• 9:26
  On Tuesday, it was revealed that 120 accusers have come forward
• 9:30
  against Diddy, claiming that the media mogul sexually assaulted
• 9:33
  them. One of the plaintiff's attorneys
• 9:36
  said the complaints were, quote, unprecedented in scope and the
• 9:40
  allegations included both men and women ranging from 9 years
• 9:45
  old to 38 years old. In many cases, accusers claim
• 9:49
  that they were drugged with horse tranquilizer.
• 9:52
  And one of the accusers, a nine year old boy, claims he was
• 9:55
  sexually assaulted while auditioning for Diddy to be part
• 9:58
  of bad boy Records. So in terms of how Diddy is
• 10:01
  responding to, I mean, the entire thing, but like also
• 10:04
  these new allegations. Diddy's lawyer said he cannot
• 10:07
  respond to quote every meritless allegation in what has become a
• 10:12
  reckless media circus. That said, Mr. Combs
• 10:16
  empathetically and categorically denies as false and defamatory
• 10:20
  any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.
• 10:25
  He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating
• 10:28
  himself in court if and when claims are filed and served,
• 10:32
  where the truth will be established based on evidence,
• 10:34
  not speculation. OK, so when I first covered the
• 10:38
  Diddy arrest last week, I think it was, I actually cut this part
• 10:43
  out. I I was talking about in the
• 10:45
  episode and then this is delusional.
• 10:47
  But I got like scared. And I was telling Sean I was
• 10:51
  like, yeah, I had a take on the podcast about how, you know, he
• 10:54
  is like vehemently denying this. And that's like the stance is
• 10:58
  like, he is not guilty. That's the stance that he's
• 10:59
  taking and his lawyers are taking.
• 11:01
  And I said on the podcast, but like, I cut it out.
• 11:04
  I said like a case of this size, the government arresting
• 11:08
  somebody who is literally like the media mogul, like he is one
• 11:13
  of the most powerful people in media, possibly one of the most
• 11:16
  powerful men in the world, or at least in America.
• 11:19
  You know, he is so, so incredibly powerful and wealthy.
• 11:22
  They don't just arrest you for no reason.
• 11:26
  You know, they have, I am sure, years and years of evidence.
• 11:31
  And I said that on the podcast. And I was like, I'm actually too
• 11:35
  scared to say that. Like I'm scared that Diddy's
• 11:39
  like team is going to come for me.
• 11:41
  And Sean was like, you think that out of everyone in the
• 11:45
  meet, all the media outlets, all the commentators, all the
• 11:48
  podcasters, whatever that are talking about this, you think
• 11:51
  that they care about you. I was like, OK, that's actually
• 11:54
  so true. Like that is delulu.
• 11:56
  So anyways, I'm saying it now. It is so wild that they're going
• 12:00
  to maintain not guilty, not guilty when there is apparently
• 12:05
  just so much evidence and the US Attorney like they are, they're
• 12:10
  not making mistakes like this, especially against someone who
• 12:14
  is that powerful. And I did just want to say one
• 12:18
  thing. I think I haven't seen a ton of
• 12:20
  it, but I have seen a few brands and just like people in general
• 12:26
  sharing, posting, commenting on, liking whatever memes about the
• 12:32
  1000 bottles of baby oil and some of the kind of like insane
• 12:37
  parts of this story that feel kind of icky or weird.
• 12:42
  Obviously not the illegal things, not the really horrific
• 12:45
  things, but those kind of quirky moments from this whole arrest
• 12:49
  this case, like everything that's come out.
• 12:51
  And I just think that is so distasteful and so disgusting.
• 12:55
  And I think we really, really need to think about how we are
• 12:58
  talking about this and like a memefying this moment.
• 13:01
  There are possibly hundreds of victims.
• 13:04
  And if you think about the people in your life who are
• 13:07
  survivors and how they feel when they see you, like reposting a
• 13:11
  meme about baby oil, given the context of what that means and
• 13:18
  what that represents, I just think it's really damaging and
• 13:22
  it's sick. And we absolutely need to stop
• 13:25
  that. Okay.
• 13:26
  And the last thing that I wanted to actually two things.
• 13:29
  I wanted to share two final things.
• 13:31
  These are not like big official stories, but the first is that
• 13:34
  the founder, the actual founder of Crumble has come out and
• 13:39
  addressed the crumble Australia just like in a tick tock really
• 13:42
  quickly saying like we have no affiliation with Crumble.
• 13:45
  And then they made a joke about how they like guess they should
• 13:48
  expedite their timeline on making it to Australia, which
• 13:52
  please. Also, I know that a lot of
• 13:54
  people don't like Crumble. I I don't care.
• 13:57
  I still am desperate to try it. Like I still need to try it.
• 14:00
  And then I also got some comments about the fact that I
• 14:02
  was just in Canada. And I went on this huge rant
• 14:05
  yesterday about how I'm so desperate to try Crumble and
• 14:07
  they don't have them in Australia, but I was literally
• 14:10
  just in Canada for like 3 weeks. And to that I say I fumble.
• 14:15
  I actually had no idea that crumble was available in Canada.
• 14:18
  I'd only ever seen people eat it on TikTok in the US.
• 14:21
  My parents also retired to the middle of nowhere.
• 14:23
  So I actually don't know if I could have got crumble when I
• 14:26
  was home. But regardless, that's why I
• 14:29
  didn't because I literally just didn't know it was in Canada.
• 14:32
  OK, And the last thing I wanted to touch on is that I got a
• 14:36
  comment. So I posted something on my like
• 14:38
  Instagram story being like, what do you guys think this comment
• 14:41
  is about? Somebody tagged me on TikTok
• 14:44
  being like, you need to talk about this.
• 14:45
  And I just like took that screenshot.
• 14:47
  ANYWAYS, they were tagging me in a crumble cookie video, but I
• 14:50
  posted it on my stories and so many people had like such good
• 14:53
  responses to what they thought that I was going to be covering.
• 14:56
  A lot of people said crumble, but one person said sepia bride
• 15:00
  getting divorced. So I was like, Oh my God, I
• 15:02
  forgot that happened. So I just wanted to touch on it
• 15:04
  really quickly. I don't know know if you guys
• 15:06
  remember, I don't think I talked about sepia bride on mini
• 15:09
  scroll, but there was a bride she went so viral like grew a
• 15:13
  huge following from complaining about her wedding photos, how
• 15:18
  her wedding photographer edited all her photos to look like
• 15:22
  sepia toned essentially. And she wanted them to be much
• 15:26
  more natural, much more editorial.
• 15:28
  And she also was fighting to get the raw images because her
• 15:32
  photographer, I don't know if she I can't really remember the
• 15:34
  story. I don't remember if she wouldn't
• 15:36
  re edit them. And so she went absolutely viral
• 15:38
  for like documenting the saga. And it was so divisive.
• 15:41
  So many people were like looking at the photographer her.
• 15:45
  I mean, she put this first of all, she put this woman on
• 15:46
  blast. Horrible.
• 15:48
  We're looking at the style of photos and being like, that is
• 15:51
  the style of photo that this photographer does.
• 15:52
  Like, what did you expect when you hired her type of thing?
• 15:55
  And then other people were like, yeah, it is ridiculous that like
• 15:57
  when you hire a photographer, especially for a moment as big
• 16:00
  as your wedding, that they won't include the raw images if you
• 16:04
  ask for them. So I just fact checked the
• 16:06
  photographer would give her the RAW files, but for $4000 extra.
• 16:10
  OK, so this is this is kind of wild.
• 16:14
  And she's made jokes on her TikTok about the fact that like
• 16:17
  she built her following off of being sepia bride, like off of
• 16:19
  her wedding and now she's getting a divorce.
• 16:22
  And the one thing I will say is that people are being really
• 16:25
  savage about this in terms of being like, I knew she was a
• 16:27
  nightmare from the moment that I saw her videos and how she was
• 16:31
  putting this photographer on blast.
• 16:32
  And like, I think we just need to separate like how she acted
• 16:35
  in that moment around her wedding.
• 16:39
  Obviously, I, I do agree that the videos and the way she was
• 16:42
  going after the photographer and stuff like they were, it was
• 16:45
  horrible. We need to separate that like
• 16:47
  that behavior and that saga from her getting a divorce and just
• 16:52
  labeling her like, you know, point blank, a bad person who
• 16:56
  was a nightmare to be married to.
• 16:57
  And now a few months later she's getting a divorce.
• 17:00
  I think divorce is very sad, no matter what the circumstances.
• 17:04
  And she said on TikTok too, it is possible that she she, she
• 17:07
  says she like maintains that she did not like the photos and
• 17:10
  that, you know, her complaints and everything that happened on
• 17:13
  TikTok, like that was because she didn't like the photos.
• 17:15
  But she did say on TikTok, it is possible that I was taking a lot
• 17:20
  of my unhappiness out on either the photographer or like just
• 17:25
  blowing this situation out of proportion because I was like
• 17:27
  unhappy in my relationship. So, and that's a little tidbit
• 17:32
  on that. Anyways, guys, that's it for
• 17:34
  mini scroll today. Thank you so much for listening.
• 17:37
  Please remember to rate review and subscribe.
• 17:39
  Please leave me questions for my Q&A because I am recording it
• 17:43
  tomorrow. So I got to get the questions
• 17:45
  ASAP. I love you guys and I will talk
• 17:47
  to you tomorrow as well. OK, bye.
