  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
  Welcome back to Mini Scroll, everyone.
• 0:22
  OK, I'm recording this right before the Grammys.
• 0:25
  That's just like my cross to bear living in Australia is our
• 0:30
  work day is smack in the middle of every single award show.
• 0:34
  So I will cover any like notable Grammys moments tomorrow.
• 0:39
  But for today, I still have three stories for you guys.
• 0:42
  And the first story that I have for you guys is an update from
• 0:46
  my Chiara Ferragni. Sorry, I actually was told I
• 0:49
  said it wrong. Chiara Ferragni.
• 0:52
  I think somebody said it's like lasagna and I was like, what?
• 0:56
  But I think they're trying to say the G asylum, Ferrani
• 1:00
  probably, I don't know, I'm sorry, I'm butchering that.
• 1:02
  And Fetas. So Fetas has now responded to
• 1:06
  claims that he had an affair on Chiara the entirety of their
• 1:10
  marriage. In case you missed it very high
• 1:12
  level, a paparazzo and alleged friend of Fetas is named
• 1:17
  Fabrizio Corona made an expose on YouTube claiming that Fetas
• 1:21
  had a six year long affair with a 26 year old woman.
• 1:25
  So Chiara is a big Italian influencer, one of the first
• 1:29
  ever fashion influencers, and Fetas is an Italian rapper.
• 1:33
  So this claim LED Chiara to speak out and seemingly confirm
• 1:38
  this on her Instagram stories. She also claims that Fetas was
• 1:42
  on the phone with his mistress minutes before their wedding and
• 1:45
  would have left Chiara at the altar if his mistress just said
• 1:48
  the word. OK, so first, I actually have a
• 1:51
  lot of Italian listeners and I'm so glad because I got comments
• 1:55
  and messages giving me like more contacts into the whole
• 1:58
  situation. So the main 2 takeaways.
• 2:01
  The first is that Corona is like the Perez Hilton of Italy, which
• 2:06
  I think actually gave me a lot of insight because I kept saying
• 2:11
  I don't know if you guys remember in last week's episode,
• 2:13
  like why would this man who was like quote UN quote friends with
• 2:16
  feta's like release this? Like I'm so confused and giving
• 2:20
  the comparison to Perez Hilton. I think all of us can understand
• 2:24
  what that means. Second, I got messages telling
• 2:28
  me to look into the festival of San Remo when Kiara hosted.
• 2:32
  Again, I'm sure I'm saying San Remo wrong San Remo?
• 2:35
  San Remo. So I don't know.
• 2:37
  I'm sorry. So I actually did see something
• 2:39
  about Fedez kissing someone on stage at this festival during my
• 2:43
  original research last week. But I didn't really understand
• 2:46
  why it had significance because from what I could tell, it was
• 2:51
  like him and this other guy kissing at an award show on
• 2:54
  stage. It kind of just gave me like
• 2:57
  punk rock, like Madonna, Britney Spears energy.
• 3:01
  I didn't realize that it was like a thing, but apparently
• 3:04
  this turned into a thing. Actually, I shouldn't just I
• 3:07
  shouldn't minimize the Britney Spears Madonna kiss because that
• 3:11
  really did turn into a thing. But I met more like I didn't
• 3:13
  realize that it would be a thing for like fetas and Kiara like
• 3:16
  and their relationship. So what I gather was this was a
• 3:19
  huge night for Kiara. She was hosting this event for
• 3:22
  television. I think it was like her TV
• 3:24
  debut. So it was a really big deal that
• 3:26
  she was asked to Co host this and Fetas basically ruined the
• 3:30
  night for her by stealing the spotlight in a variety of ways,
• 3:33
  including this kiss. So there was also apparently a
• 3:37
  clip going around after this kiss of what seems like Kiara,
• 3:41
  like, at the award show still right after it, like berating or
• 3:45
  scolding Fetez obviously for, like, ruining her night,
• 3:48
  stealing the spotlight. And it led to a lot of
• 3:52
  speculation about what was going on in their relationship.
• 3:56
  And Fetez apparently, just, like, let that narrative in the
• 3:59
  press run free. So this is actually directly
• 4:02
  from their reality show. Again, it's translated.
• 4:04
  So Chiara said in that week, I was nervous above all about what
• 4:08
  he could do. I was afraid he would do
• 4:10
  something that would destabilize me, too.
• 4:12
  I asked him the same day to be there for me without doing
• 4:15
  anything that might upset me. He told me yes.
• 4:17
  And then of course, it didn't. As a life partner and as a
• 4:19
  partner, I wanted his support. I'm sorry that on an emotional
• 4:22
  level, those who were supposed to reassure me made me even more
• 4:26
  afraid. I don't think he completely
• 4:29
  understood how upset I was, how shocking it was for me.
• 4:32
  It hurt me even more than I could have imagined.
• 4:35
  I was angry, sad and disappointed.
• 4:37
  It was difficult to return to that stage with a smile.
• 4:40
  OK, so now, following Chiara's Instagram stories from last
• 4:43
  week, Feta's has responded with his own stories he wrote.
• 4:46
  The idea that I would have thought about leaving my wife on
• 4:49
  our wedding day to run away to the other side of Italy is
• 4:52
  simply ridiculous. I chose Chiara with conviction.
• 4:55
  I loved her, I married her without hesitation, and we built
• 4:58
  to family together despite our differences.
• 5:00
  She will always be important to me because she is the mother of
• 5:02
  my children. I met Angelica a few months
• 5:05
  before the wedding, and we distanced ourselves to focus on
• 5:07
  our own lives. I reconnected with her during a
• 5:09
  moment of personal difficulty without any premeditated plan,
• 5:13
  at a time when my marriage had already faced deep crises that
• 5:16
  we weren't able to resolve even after trying.
• 5:19
  When Angelica decided to end our relationship, among the many
• 5:22
  mistakes I made, I shared my thoughts with Fabrizio and a
• 5:25
  mutual friend of theirs. A foolish act in a moment of
• 5:28
  weakness and vulnerability for which I am facing the
• 5:31
  consequences. But I reject any theories of
• 5:33
  conspiracies or manipulations. I tried to contain these rumors
• 5:37
  in every possible way. Rumors that I would point out
• 5:40
  are actually harmful to me. I've never been a St.
• 5:43
  But our private life cannot be an excuse to create narratives
• 5:46
  or to divert attention from other matters.
• 5:49
  None of this is doing any good for anyone.
• 5:51
  Not for Chiara, not for me, not for the other people involved.
• 5:55
  Today I'm putting an end to this.
• 5:56
  I made mistakes. I paid for them, and I will
• 5:58
  continue to pay. Maybe I've learned a little.
• 6:01
  I'm stepping away from a way of presenting myself that no longer
• 6:04
  feels like me, and maybe never really did.
• 6:07
  I know how this game works. I was a part of it for years.
• 6:09
  Now I'm focusing on myself and my children.
• 6:12
  I'll leave the rest to those who need this kind of spectacle as
• 6:16
  much as possible. I want to choose reality.
• 6:18
  I just think it's rich when anyone you know, who is like in
• 6:24
  the public eye, who he has been trying to be famous, that's just
• 6:29
  like part of the gig. And you know, he married the
• 6:33
  most famous influencer in his country.
• 6:36
  He has been, as I said last week, apparently he is more
• 6:39
  famous, more respected than Kiara was at the time of them
• 6:42
  getting together. I just like hate when famous
• 6:47
  people, whether their influencers, celebrities would
• 6:49
  ever get on their high horse about fame.
• 6:51
  I understand fame would suck. Like I completely understand
• 6:54
  that the perils of fame would be so intense.
• 6:57
  However, I hate when they get on their high horse about it.
• 7:00
  He's like, I know how this game works.
• 7:02
  I was part of it for years. I'll leave the rest to those who
• 7:06
  need this kind of spectacle. OK buddy, you needed this kind
• 7:09
  of spectacle for years to build the life and career that you
• 7:14
  have. You can't chase fame.
• 7:17
  And then once you get it, be like, I'm too good for this.
• 7:19
  I hate when celebrities do that. It's like biting the hand that
• 7:24
  feeds you. That's what it feels like to me.
• 7:26
  But yes he is claiming I guess that but he did have an affair
• 7:30
  like he is admitting it seems like to having an affair.
• 7:32
  I guess he's saying it didn't start as soon as Kiara and
• 7:36
  Corona are saying. And now I only just saw this so
• 7:40
  it's not in my notes. But now I saw and I haven't fact
• 7:43
  checked this because I literally just saw while I was sitting
• 7:45
  down. But now apparently Kiara is
• 7:47
  suing Corona, the one who obviously released all of this
• 7:50
  €1,000,000 and he replied, no one can censor us.
• 7:56
  OK. I don't know if that's a hill
• 7:58
  that Corona needs to die on. Like I don't just it's OK.
• 8:03
  It doesn't even impact your life as far as I know.
• 8:06
  I think just like chill out, these people have kids.
• 8:09
  I feel so bad for Kiara. It's just a mess.
• 8:12
  So I actually hope that all of this gets taken offline.
• 8:16
  I presume it will, although like Corona keeps being like I'm
• 8:19
  going to release episode like 5 or something.
• 8:21
  He's done like multi parts to this.
• 8:24
  It's giving obsessed. I don't know, I don't really
• 8:28
  understand. I mean, I guess like the
• 8:30
  comparison to Press Hilton was helpful because I feel like
• 8:32
  Press Hilton might do something as unhinged as this, but it's
• 8:36
  just like wild. I don't know, it's unhinged.
• 8:40
  OK. The next story that I have for
• 8:41
  you guys is that Iris Law has been called out by a server as
• 8:45
  the rudest customer she's ever had.
• 8:47
  Iris Law was called out on Twitter this weekend for being
• 8:51
  an alleged nightmare restaurant guest.
• 8:54
  Iris is the daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost and I would say
• 8:58
  she's probably one of the biggest up and coming like new
• 9:03
  Gen. Z Napo baby models that we have
• 9:05
  seen in the last like couple of years.
• 9:07
  OK, so over the weekend a Twitter user at Madison Tate
• 9:12
  under score wrote. When I tell you this right here
• 9:15
  is the nastiest bitch I've ever served in my life.
• 9:19
  And she had quote tweeted a photo of Iris Law.
• 9:22
  She continued. We hate a mean spirited doesn't
• 9:24
  pay her check. Do you know who my father is?
• 9:27
  Ass bitch. Let it be known I've served
• 9:29
  Rupert Murdoch, Paul Ryan, Steve Bannon, the Kushners, Jeff
• 9:33
  Bezos, et cetera, and all of whom had better manners and were
• 9:36
  at the very least more polite than this cunt.
• 9:39
  Like none of them started screaming and throwing a tantrum
• 9:41
  in the restaurant. And then somebody asked, did she
• 9:44
  tip? And she wrote, oh, she didn't
• 9:46
  even pay her bill. So Iris has now responded on
• 9:49
  TikTok basically saying this is a complete fabrication.
• 9:53
  It's literally fan fiction story.
• 9:56
  I guys come on. So someone's saying that I
• 10:00
  caught up in the middle of a meal and didn't pay and screamed
• 10:04
  and said, do you know who I am? And because I didn't like the
• 10:08
  dessert menu desserts because that's kind of funny, but it's
• 10:11
  completely made-up. It's 2:00 AM.
• 10:13
  I've literally been having a meltdown about this because now
• 10:17
  everyone thinks I'm horrible and now it's going viral.
• 10:21
  It's not even like someone found out someone was cheating or like
• 10:25
  someone found out someone wasn't paying taxes.
• 10:26
  Someone finding out something bad that you did.
• 10:29
  Like I literally didn't do this. I'm interested if any of you
• 10:34
  guys have worked in the service industry and have served like
• 10:37
  celebrities or big names or anyone like that because I'm
• 10:40
  actually really surprised that they're saying she didn't pay
• 10:43
  her bill. I feel like a celebrity being a
• 10:46
  nightmare, sure. Being rude, sure.
• 10:48
  Being entitled, sure, But being like, do you know who my dad is?
• 10:51
  I should get this entire meal for free.
• 10:53
  I've actually never heard that before and that would surprise
• 10:56
  me. But I am interested to hear what
• 10:59
  you guys think if you guys have any experience in that space.
• 11:02
  OK, And the last story that I have for you guys is a TikTok
• 11:04
  trend. I haven't talked about a TikTok
• 11:06
  trend in a while, but I think that this is really relevant to
• 11:09
  a lot of our listeners. So there's this new like Gen.
• 11:12
  Z, like corporate talk trend going on.
• 11:14
  I know we have so many, I say this every time I cover a trend,
• 11:17
  but like we have a lot of social media managers that have
• 11:19
  listened to this pod. So I think it could be relevant
• 11:21
  for you guys. I don't know if this trend
• 11:23
  necessarily has a name yet, but it's basically where workplaces
• 11:26
  or companies are posting slideshows of members of their
• 11:29
  team as children. So like, funny kids, pictures of
• 11:33
  them from like the 90's, the early 2000s.
• 11:36
  Some of them are like early 20 tens, which is giving me a
• 11:39
  little bit of trauma as I sit here at 33 years old.
• 11:43
  And on the photos, they will have captions and they'll say,
• 11:46
  like our marketing assistant in 2010 when she should have been
• 11:50
  studying the TikTok algorithm or our HR manager in 2006 when she
• 11:54
  should have been looking at ways to boost company morale.
• 11:57
  And it's like a kid, right? These slideshows are always set
• 12:00
  to the Nicki Minaj verse in David Guetta's Wear Them where
• 12:03
  all that. And I mean, people are doing
• 12:05
  these not just for like corporate talk, but I think it's
• 12:07
  really funny the way that corporate talk is using this
• 12:10
  particular trend. And it's similar to those memes
• 12:13
  where people will be like, why was IA baby in 2003 when I
• 12:17
  should have been saving for a house or whatever?
• 12:19
  It's like similar vibes, but it's funny to show the team, you
• 12:23
  know, share their roles and kind of I guess what they're like a
• 12:26
  number one, I suppose, like challenge is in the workplace is
• 12:30
  like what this is also kind of like exposing quote UN quote.
• 12:34
  I think it's funny. I like them.
• 12:36
  I don't know if that's just like super millennial of me.
• 12:39
  No, I think they're funny, they're cute, and I think
• 12:41
  they're like a wholesome good way to create like EGC content
• 12:46
  without, you know, asking your employees to be part of like a
• 12:51
  skid or to partake in some trend that could be taken wrong.
• 12:55
  You know, I think this is like a pretty neutral one in the scheme
• 12:59
  of things. And no, I feel like I'm going to
• 13:01
  get a comment or two because you guys know I don't believe in
• 13:03
  children online. I think it's different when it's
• 13:05
  your own personal baby photos online.
• 13:08
  I do not support when parents are posting their children
• 13:12
  online because they can't consent to that.
• 13:14
  So that's the difference there. All right, guys, well, that's it
• 13:17
