Tammy Hembrow's Wedding Invite Leak, Sophadophaa Accused of 'Bullying' her Ex & Roxy Jacenko’s Giveaway Saga Escalates · Outspoken the Podcast

  Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Outspoken, it's your dose of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Sophie Torver and coming up on today's show, chaos erupts
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: as Tammy Hembrough's wedding invites are leaked, Roxy Jusanko's giveaway
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: saga escalates to a whole new level of PR disaster,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and Sophia Begg is accused of bullying her ex, but first,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Talia Skanes has revealed her legal battle against ex-boyfriend Mitch
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Third is over. Now, back in 2022, Talia filed a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: lawsuit against Mitch, alleging he owed her hundreds and thousands
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: of dollars from their joint e-commerce clothing venture, which was
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: called Third Fix Collection. Court documents revealed that Talia alleged
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: that the division of their business assets had allegedly triggered
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: verbal threats of violence from Mitch, which made her fear
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: for her safety. She also alleged that Mitch threatened to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: publish online private images of her as well as images
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and material online that would degrade her character. I do
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: want to point out that Mitch denied these allegations. Now,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: since then, it's been unclear whether the case was settled
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: out of court as everything went quiet. That is until now, Kate. Yeah,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: so in a recent Q & A, Talia confirmed the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: legal case was over, but she didn't reveal the verdict,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: which I would have loved to know. She did say
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that she often gets a lot of questions about the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: legal battle and wishes that she spoke about it at
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the time. She conceded though that she's not the type
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of person to talk about negative and serious things or
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: call people out publicly online. She also wrote, I also
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: wanted to do things the right way and when there's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: lawyers and police involved and it's an active case, I
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: didn't want to speak publicly and was advised not to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: during that time. I do wonder if that's coming from
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: her legal background because she is a qualified lawyer and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: She then went on to say that she put on
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a brave face, but she actually struggled more than she realized.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: She wrote, I finally had the courage to leave my
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: previous relationship and move on with my life, but kept
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: getting dragged back down by a very expensive, very draining
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: legal battle. I think that perhaps the reason she's not
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: talking about it now or wanting to go into more
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: detail is because she signed a confidentiality agreement. They probably
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: agreed to settle outside of court So neither of them
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: are wanting to say too much about what's actually happened. Yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: but then why even address the question? Because that's going
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to cause trouble. Well, I think she's touching on the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: question because as she said, she's getting inundated with questions
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: about this case. She probably wanted to put it to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: bed by saying it has been resolved. Yeah, well, Mitch
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Third has seemingly hit back at Talia. So he posted
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a selfie with the caption, Imagine your girlfriend publicly talking
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: about her ex three years later. Now, doesn't this just
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: speak absolute volumes about the type of character Mitch Third has?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Because he has phrased it that it must be so
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: embarrassing for Talia's current boyfriend that she's still talking about him.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: It's like, buddy, she's not talking about you in a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: positive light. Yeah, but it's also he is phrasing, so
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: her boyfriend is called Jake Sajano. He is acting as
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: if Talia is the property of Jake and how embarrassing
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: for Jake's property to be speaking out. How dare she
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: reflect on her past relationship because this new guy owns her.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Tammy Hembrough and Matt Zukowski's wedding invitation has been dramatically
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: leaked online by fellow influencer Sophia Begg. Now, during a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: weekly vlog, Sophia set up her camera to capture her
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: recent deliveries when she discovered an invite in the post
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: from Tammy and Matt for their upcoming wedding. She was
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: very excited and ended up showing the camera a close-up
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of the wedding invite. What was she thinking? Now, I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: was quite surprised by the look of these wedding invites.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: They had a kind of royal vibe to them. They
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: had these swirls around the border and large cursive writing.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Someone did say they looked a bit like a pirate map,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like they were cut out like a pirate's map. Yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I was a little bit underwhelmed when I saw them
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: as well. They're not very chic, are they? Now, the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: catch is that Sophia showed such a close-up shot of
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: this invite that the date and location of the wedding
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: was clearly visible. I'm interested to know if she's one
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of those influencers that blurs her own address when she
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: does PR hauls because If she does that and didn't
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: blur this, she's got some questions she needs to answer. Well,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it didn't take long for Super Sleuths to type in
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a couple of those details and locate the online version
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of the invite. So Tammy and Matt have one of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: those online wedding pages set up where there's a Q &
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: A section and lots of information about the event over
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the weekend. Why would they do that? I don't mean
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to victim blame, but this is the same thing that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: happened to Sarah's day. It just seems like it would
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: be so easy to leak online information. I know sometimes
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: people put a password on these websites. Not to even
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: have a password set up is very odd. It is
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: all very confusing. And this website did include information about
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the ceremony time, the dress code, which for reference is
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: black tie, the recovery details and where wedding guests will
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: be staying. And most importantly, the date of this wedding. Yeah.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: And as Matt outlined on his podcast a few months ago,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it is very lucky because they have chosen to keep
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the venue as a secret to guests right up until
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the last minute. So thankfully, people don't know the actual venue,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: but it has been revealed that it's a destination wedding
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: in Byron Bay. So there's going to be a lot
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of media, a lot of paparazzi interested in getting first
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: photos of Tammy and her dress. And it's not going
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to take them much time to work out where this
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: venue is. They've got enough time to do digging around
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and source out where this wedding is taking place. I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: do want to point out that we are choosing not
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to share the date and the time of certain events
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: because I think that that has the potential to jeopardise
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the couple's day and also their safety because you never
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: know if fans are going to rock up or if
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the media are going to scout out the location. I mean,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: highly likely they are going to. I just find it
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: so ironic that it was an influencer who leaked this information.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I would love to know the conversation that's gone on
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: between Tammy and And so for Dover now. I do
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: really feel for Tammy because she obviously knows that there's
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: going to be a lot of media interest in this story.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: So much so that they've decided to keep the venue
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a secret right up until the last minute. And now
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: it's been made 10 times easier for the media because
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: they can book out Byron Bay ahead of the wedding.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: They can go and scout out locations. They can start
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: speaking to people on the ground. And essentially they can
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: try and get the first shot of Tammy. before she
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: has the opportunity to share it to her followers. I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: was interested to see how other pages dealt with this
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: because we did have people trying to post the details
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in our Facebook group, but we didn't approve the post
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: because as you said, I felt bad being a part
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of this leak. Now, Influencer Updates AU, she ended up
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: sharing details of the couple's online wedding invite to her
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: close friend's story. So people who subscribe to her channel
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: could see this information. Now she's been on Matt and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Anna's podcast before. Oh, I forgot that. Yeah. So Matt
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: actually reached out to her and asked if she could
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: take it down, which she did. It also appears that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Tammy and Matt reached out to Sofa Dofa because that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: section of the vlog has now been edited. It was
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: just such a major fuck up by Sofa Dofa. I
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: just want to know what she was thinking. I wonder
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: if it comes down to her age because I feel
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: like there are just so many unspoken wedding etiquette rules
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: that maybe she didn't realize that you shouldn't be posting
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the invite. I mean, it's an even bigger issue when
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: this is a celebrity couple and people are trying to
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: work out the date and where they're having it. I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: wonder if it is a bit of a flex to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: say that she is invited. I have found it pretty
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: amusing that people seem to be obsessed over the fact
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: that Tammy has stipulated on the invite that it's a
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: kid-free event. Obviously, Tammy has three kids of her own.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: She also has a lot of nieces and nephews. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were shocked by this request.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It did surprise me. I thought that if anything, she
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: would be encouraging people to bring their kids along and
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: really incorporating her kids into the day. Yeah. Another big
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: one that captured a lot of media headlines was around
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the fact that Tammy and Matt have a wishing well.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: A wishing well is a very normal thing most couples
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: now have at their weddings. But the media seemed to
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: be obsessed with the fact that Tammy is worth $ 50
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: million and it's very tacky of her to ask people
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: for a gift. Well, Channel 7 even ran with the headline,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Aussie AFR Rich Lister Tammy Hembrough worth $ 50 million asks
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: for donations for her upcoming wedding to reality star Matt Sikowski.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: But she hasn't asked for donations. It's a wishing well.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: It is a wedding gift. Like, I don't understand all
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: of the hype around it because, okay, She is worth
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of money, but she's been to her friend's
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: weddings and she's provided a gift. And Matt Zukowski, he's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: not worth a lot. Maybe he needs the money. I know.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, I did want to have a look at
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: how they actually phrased it because I know with us,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: we tried to do a cute little poem. So their
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: thing read, your presence on the day is the greatest
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: gift of all. However, if you would like to gift
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: us something, a wishing well will be at our wedding
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: for contributions and well wishes. So, I mean, she's not
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: specifying that in order to get into the wedding, you
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: have to pay money. It's just saying, if you would
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: like it, we have a wishing well set up. I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: do think that the level of discomfort about the wishing
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: well is coming from the fact that sections of this
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: wedding are being sponsored. So we already know that she
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: has a sponsorship deal with Vera Wang, which will slash
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: tens of thousands of dollars from the overall budget. And
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: some people are also saying that potentially Tammy may have
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a deal lined up with a magazine so she could
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: be giving first access to her wedding photos. So some
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: people are thinking, well, she could actually be making money
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: off this wedding. So why should her guests have to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: give her money? But I still think that this couple
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: are going to have a pretty hefty bill for their
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: wedding because the majority of the costs do come down
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to the venue and the food and the alcohol and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: which in my opinion is not going to be sponsored.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Just thinking about it a little bit more, we do
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: know that it is a destination wedding. So Matt is
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: based in Melbourne and Tammy is on the Gold Coast.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Is it a little bit cheeky now thinking about it
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to ask for a Wishing Well donation when guests are
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: probably having to travel there? Or do we think perhaps,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, these details might have been on the invite,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. that they're covering the cost of the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: accommodation and the flight. They did suggest some possible places
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: for guests to stay on the website, but to me,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it didn't look as though they were covering the cost
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of it. You'd be extra pissed off now that this
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: invite has leaked because as I mentioned, the media are
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: probably going to be booking out a lot of the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: accommodation in Byron Bay and that is going to lift
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the prices everywhere. Well, what do you give a multimillionaire
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: in their wishing well? It's a hard one because, I mean,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you've got to remember, I would personally feel uncomfortable rocking
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: up with nothing. I think that that is the height
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of rudeness. Yeah. Sometimes I think that the card is
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: more important than how much money you give. I think
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that you should always make sure that you have a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: very heartfelt and beautiful message to your friend because it
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: is such an important day for them. In saying that, socially,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: there are always going to be expectations to give a
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: certain amount of money. particularly when you are going to
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: what I assume is going to be a very luxe
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and expensive wedding because what was also revealed on the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: invite is that the Nuptial Collective is going to be
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: planning this wedding. So if you haven't heard of them before,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: it is a very high-end wedding planning business and they
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: have worked with some notable high-profile brides such as Brooke
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Hogan and also shameless as Zara McDonald. So the business
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: is known for working on very high-end weddings that do
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: come with a hefty price tag. Yeah, but your normal
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: everyday person that's going to that wedding isn't going to
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: know that that's a high-profile wedding planner. Yeah, but they
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: know that Tammy and Matt are high-profile and obviously they're
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: going to drop a lot of money. But also in
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the same vein, I don't think that you should have
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to essentially give more money just because someone is choosing
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to hold an expensive wedding. Yeah, and I think because
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: people know how much Tammy is worth that any donation
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that they make will probably be appreciated. So I think
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you would just stick with what you normally give at
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a wedding. I did see the influencer updates, you suggested
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: that couples should be spending a thousand to $ 2, 000. And
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, what? Yeah. I mean, there are going
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to be some high profile influences and entrepreneurs there, but
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I think they're only having 120 people. I think most
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of it will be family and friends who don't have
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that much money. It does surprise me a little bit
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that they didn't decide instead of a wishing well to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: do like a donation to say, you know, if you
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: would like to bring a donation, we'll put it towards
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: this charity. Yeah, I think that would have been a
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: nice touch and a good PR move. But I mean,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: they didn't know that their wedding invite was going to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: be leaked. You would have thought that that was private.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I do feel for them though, because essentially I do
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: think that they should still be allowed to have a
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: wishing well if that's what they want. Well, it has
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: been a big week for Tammy and Matt. So all
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of that has gone down. Plus, Matt's podcast co-host, Anna McAvoy,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: got tongues wagging when she uploaded a TikTok with the caption,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: when the disrespect is louder than the apology. Now, she
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: recently got married in Greece, which we spoke about a lot.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And she also runs a fake tanning business called Goldie
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: B with her husband. And followers immediately thought that Anna
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: was throwing shade at Tammy Hembrough, because she recently promoted
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: a Bondi Sands face tanner a few days earlier. Now,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: fans thought Anna was upset at Tammy for promoting a
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: rival brand. I did notice the other day, she also
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: promoted Sunday Riley's tanning drops as well. I'm sorry, but
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: why shouldn't she be allowed to do her job and
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: promote other tanning brands just because Matt's co-host has a
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: small business. Like I don't see why. I think probably
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: because there's been this big push to promote the fact
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: that Anna and Tammy are friends now. And I personally
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: could see how it would be a little bit annoying
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: if you've got this business. and you're friends with someone
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and then they're paid like a shit ton of money
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to promote a rival product. I do want to point
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: out that Anna has confirmed she was not speaking about
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Tammy Hembrough in that TikTok video. Do we believe that though?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I tend to believe her. I think that she was
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: actually trying to throw shade at one of her bridesmaids
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: who ended up not being in her wedding. We did
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: discuss a couple of weeks ago how Anna and Michael
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: had to get one of the groomsmen to become a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: celebrant because she didn't want her bridesmaids and groomsmen not
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: looking even because she had one less bridesmaid. And someone
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: did contact our page and say, hey, she actually had
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: a falling out with one of her bridesmaids. So again,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's actually confirmed, but a lot
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of people are speculating that she's mad at the bridesmaid.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Roxy Jasenko's $ 10 million house giveaway saga has escalated to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a whole new level of PR disaster. The competition draw,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: which was scheduled to take place last Friday, was put
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: on hold after the New South Wales Supreme Court appointed
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a provisional liquidator to the company running the promotion. The
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: decision was handed down following a successful application by Roxy. Now, Kate,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: when we last discussed this debacle, Roxy had just announced
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: she was issuing refunds. What has happened since? Well, that's right.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: So a couple of weeks ago, Roxy revealed that she
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: was stepping away from the controversial giveaway due to a
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: falling out she had with the two business partners. The
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: PR queen announced that she would personally be refunding everyone
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: who entered the competition after she claimed she discovered the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: lavish prizes promoted could not be guaranteed. Now, since Roxy's
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: announcement made the news, the two remaining directors of the company,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Tills and Olawi, announced they would continue with the promotion
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: without Roxy. They also denied Roxy's claims. Now, as a refresher,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the promotion was packaged up as a subscription to Roxy's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: marketing school. with an entry into the draw to win
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the major prize of a $ 10 million house, alongside $ 250, 000 cash,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: a Birkin bag, and a Rolex. There was confusion, though,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: from the get-go, as it turned out that the winner
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: would only gain entry into the game of chance to
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: win the home. Now, as we mentioned, the competition was
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: set to be drawn on Friday. However, on Wednesday, the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court of New South Wales ordered that provisional liquidators
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: take over the company. So this was off the back
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: of an application Roxy made to the court after her
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: business partners refused her request to stop the promotion. Now,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Roxy claims she made the application in a bid to
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: protect the public as she alleges the company was not
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: in a position to ensure the house, if one, would
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: be available as a prize. Now, interestingly, it has been
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: revealed in court that a subclause existed that stated the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: $ 10 million property was would only be delivered if the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: competition achieved more than $ 11. 5 million in revenue. So the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: clause stated, in the event that the promotion revenue is
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: less than the minimum revenue amount, the parties agree that
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the property will not be made available and the company
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: will not be required to acquire the property. Now, in
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: order to achieve that figure, it's believed they would have
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: had to have 200,000 people enter the giveaway. Now, in reality,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: only around 7,000 people did And this is despite Roxy
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: having 268,000 Instagram followers. Well, you can see why she
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: was really thrashing the promotion of this competition because she
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: appeared on the Carl and Jackie O show. She was
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: on Morning Show. She was constantly on her Instagram story
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: talking about this competition. Well, it's interesting you bring up
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: that publicity to us, Sophie, because the court found that
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: this major contract stipulation was not publicly disclosed during the promotion,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: nor was it listed on the competition's formal terms and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: conditions on the Roxy's bootcamp website. And in her application
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to the court, Roxy claimed it was this subclause that
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: made her want to stop the promotion. However, Roxy's lawyer
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: conceded in court that a series of interviews that she
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: did about the giveaway may have been deceptive and misleading
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: due to the fact that she did not publicly disclose
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: this major contract stipulation. And then when asked why the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: subclause was omitted, Roxy's lawyer agreed it should have been
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: included and confirmed that Roxy had seen the terms and
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: conditions and had signed the promotions agreement in which the
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: clause was stipulated. Her lawyer said, I'm not looking to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: absolve Ms. Jasenko. He went on to argue, though, that
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: it appeared to be a case where all three shareholders
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: either didn't understand the promotion or it was convenient for
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: them not to do so. Now, one of the reasons
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Roxy claims she sought the appointment of provisional liquidators was
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: due to allegations that her business partners had engaged in
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: misleading conduct over their handling of the promotion. It is
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: important to note that her business partners deny any wrongdoing.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: In court, the judge asked Roxy's lawyers if the same
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: could be said about her actions. The judge said, Roxy's
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: lawyer responded, yes. The judge then said, do you accept
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: that your client has been effectively conducting herself in the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: same way that she's criticized others? And her lawyer replied,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: for a few days, yes. Very interesting. now in terms
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: of this refund process roxy has confirmed that she still
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: is standing by her offer to refund customers and as
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: a result she will be out of pocket nearly 700
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: 000 she claims that she has set aside the money
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: with her lawyer's She also shared a link to her
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: website where entrants can apply for their refund. The timing
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: of this debacle could not be worse because Roxy has
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: just celebrated her 44th birthday in Singapore over the weekend.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: And her husband, Oliver Curtis, hosted a very lavish surprise
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: birthday dinner for her, flying in all of her closest
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: family and friends from back home in Sydney. If I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: was Roxy, I probably would have kept this event offline.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a good look because she was posting all
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: of these Instagram stories of her dining out on caviar
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and champagne. As you said, it looked very lavish. And
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think the people that entered this competition who
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: are waiting on a refund probably would appreciate seeing this.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Sophia Begg has been accused of bullying her ex after
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: jumping on a viral TikTok trend. On the weekend, the TikToker,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: more commonly known as SofaDofa, uploaded a video of her
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: dancing with the caption, I have my own business, dream car,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: investment property, and it's probably because I don't have to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: pay for everything for you anymore. It didn't take long
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: for her 1.3 million followers to twig that she appeared
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to be taking aim at her ex-boyfriend, Jordan. This video
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: has since been deleted. Yeah, and Jordan has hit back
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: with his own TikTok. So In it, he wrote, using
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: your platform for good and then put a cross next
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to it. He then followed up with using your platform
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to talk about others slash put someone else down who
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you simply just didn't work with and then put a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: tick next to it. He also continued writing, honestly ridiculous
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: how long these comments slash videos have gone on for
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: without me saying anything. It's a form of online bullying
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: and you need to be called out for it. Be
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: a good role model for your millions of young followers.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Please leave me alone. Thank you. Hashtag don't be a bully. Now,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: this is where things got even more interesting because Sophia's
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: ex-best friend, doesn't that sound so dramatic, and fellow TikToker,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Sammy Guggenheimer, entered the chat. Now, under Jordan's video, she wrote,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: people know how much of a good human you are, Jordan.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: This was a controversial move considering Sammy has long been
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: accused of hooking up with Jordan. Now, she did publicly
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: deny those rumours at the start of this year. So
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: she said it was laughable and that she was friends
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: with Jordan publicly. before she was friends with Sophia. However,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: it's not a good look because she did go on
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: to confirm that she's no longer friends with Sophia, but
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: has nothing but love and respect for her and doesn't
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: think she's a bad person. Now, Sophia wasn't having any
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of it. She responded to Sammy's comment on Jordan's video writing,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: don't forget when we went to dinner when I first
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: moved to Melbourne. You said don't date him. Everyone in
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Melbourne doesn't like him. She also replied to another comment
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: under the video saying, Funny how they're commenting when they're
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the ones telling me I shouldn't go anywhere near him
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: because he's trouble. This is all very high school. Now
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: fans were quick to also point out that Sammy participated
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: in the same TikTok trend with her ex, Caleb Poulter.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: So a while ago, she shared a video about her
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: ex with the caption, how it feels to wake up
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: every day only responsible for yourself and not a 20-something-year-old
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: man child who mistakes you for his mother. And Kate,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: while you said that this is very high school, as
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: a 35-year-old, I'm living for this drama. I think that
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: there should be more of this drama online. Yeah, exactly.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Air your dirty laundry. Now, Sophia went even more rogue
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: because she responded to the drama in a private Facebook forum.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: In a thread detailing the event, she wrote, He's all
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: about hashtag don't bully when I have whole notes lists
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: on my phone from the relationship of fucked shit he
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: did to me. So if he wants to act like
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the victim, I'll have no regrets saying all of it.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: She then went on to say that upon reflection, she
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: should have worded the caption differently as it wasn't her
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: intention to look like she was flaunting her wealth. She
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: argued that she didn't name her ex and didn't think
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: it would cause a stir seeing as it's a trend
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: everyone is doing. She added, but funny how all his
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: friends in inverted commas are commenting when they were the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: ones saying, stay away and warning me, lol. But everyone
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: is saying I'm still obsessed. Trust me, I'd rather be
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: single for the rest of my life than go near
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: that again. It's a trend about exes, so I hopped on.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: People always say influencers lose their personality and become so boring.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And it's because the second we do anything besides stand
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: there and lip sync, we get fucked for it. So
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: back to lip syncing and fit checks, I go. No
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: more trends for me. She does have a very good
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: point because I think people really love following along this
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: type of drama. But what generally happens is that people
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: begin to take it too far and start piling on
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: an individual. They don't just take the drama for what
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: it is as a bit of fun. Yeah, and it
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: becomes a opportunity for people to jump in and try
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and get their own views and create their own engagement
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: by putting their two cents worth into it. I actually
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: don't even think that Sophia posted this to create engagement.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I just think it's a reflection on her age. I
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: can see why Sophia would find it so triggering to
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: see her ex-friend Sammy jumping to the defence of her ex-boyfriend,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: particularly when there seems to be so much history between
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: them all. Yeah, I mean, it has been a very
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: big week for Sophia. She is providing the entertainment and
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I like to pat her on the back for that.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Let's get into our highs and lows of the week.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I'll start mine off with a low. This is my
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: last podcast recording for a while. So Amy and Sophie
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: have been begging me to take maternity leave and I'm
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: finally at a point where I can't actually push it
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: any further. So I'm very sad that this is the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: last podcast recording because the podcast is like my baby,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: my first baby, and I'm finding it really hard to
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: let go of control. I don't want people to fret
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: because I think that you probably are a bit of
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: a favourite on here because you always say how it is.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: You are going to be back though. Oh, definitely. I'll
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: be pushing to come back as soon as I possibly can.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: It's just really hard to know what life with a
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: newborn will be like, but I will be roping in
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of babysitters. So I hopefully won't be missing
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: from too many podcast recordings. I'm actually nervous to do
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: it without you, Kate, because I know that you'll be listening.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I can just tell that when you're up early in
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the morning doing those feeds, you'll probably be catching up
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: on the podcast. and be writing down a little list
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: of things that we've said wrong or things that you're
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: not happy about. Yes, I will be keeping a close
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: eye on it to ensure that the quality control is there.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: As for my high of the week, I actually have
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: two small highs. One is the $ 15 Anko slippers that
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I brought from Kmart. I Snapchatted you last night saying
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: that I was so pleased with my purchase. They're a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: ripoff of the Uggs and What I like most about
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: them is that they're actually not made from sheepskin because
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: being vegetarian, I feel guilty wearing leather. My partner for
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: probably four years, every winter he bought me quite an
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: expensive pair of Ugg boots, which was that Uggs brand.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: And every year I somehow destroyed them. I would get
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: mold in them. I'd leave them outside. I'd leave them
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: too close to my shower. So he has given up.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: So my feet are very cold at the moment. So
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to invest in some $ 15 ones. Oh,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: they're so comfortable. My other little bit of a high
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: is that I had you and your partner and also
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: mum and dad over the other day. And as you
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: were leaving, Brandon made a comment about, oh, you know,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: upcoming family dinners, the baby will be there. And he
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: made a comment to my mum saying, oh, don't worry,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: at least Kate will provide the baby its food. And
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: you chimed in and said, that's a bit unfair. Why
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: can't Rhys help with the baby's food? Well, I was
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: trying to be very feminist and say that you shouldn't
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: be the one just providing all of the food and
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: organising the baby's food, but I quickly discovered that babies
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: don't eat food. Yeah, so Sophie wasn't aware that babies
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: actually drink milk and that they don't eat solids for
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: quite a while. I knew that they drink milk. I
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: didn't know that that's all they had. Yeah, so it
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: was pretty funny because you were trying to pay Brandon out,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: but then it backfired very quickly on you. just blew
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: my mind. I was wondering why you weren't stressing thinking about,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: oh my God, what am I going to... I mean,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't think that the baby sat down for a
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: full course meal, but I just thought perhaps you pureed
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: some vegetables and fruit and stuff. I don't know. That's
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: not for a while. I mean, I think I would
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: actually prefer to just puree the food than having to
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: breastfeed for every single meal. I think that's going to
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: be quite time consuming. Well, I think I'm going to
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: take that as my low of the week because that
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: was rather embarrassing. My high of the week is that
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Love Island UK is back. And I was a little
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: bit apprehensive watching the first episode because I really loved
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the all-star series that played at the beginning of the year.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I liked that the old characters were back. You felt
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: nostalgic towards them. And I liked having a cast I
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: was familiar with. And I was worried that I wouldn't
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: like this bunch of 24-year-olds because the majority of them
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: are 24, even though it's being reported that they look
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a lot older. They have copped a lot of flack
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: for looking older, apparently. Oh, there's a lot of ageism
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: going on. There is a lot of ageism. I'm quite
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: offended because everyone's like, they look 35, as if that's
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the biggest insult in the world. Yeah, but then poor
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Joey Essex is copying it, saying that he looks ancient.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Everyone's like, oh, he's close to 40. He's 33. Yeah. Anyway,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: my high is that this season has been so dramatic
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: so far. Saffron Barker's best friend, Harriet, is in there.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: She is not disappointing. She is carrying that show. I mean,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say she's my favourite contestant on there, but
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: she's bringing a lot of the drama. Yeah, to be honest,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: she hasn't come across as very likeable, but I'm very
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: happy that she's there because she has been involved in
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: a bunch of different love triangles. She's entertaining. I saw
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: actually show the cheap seats. You probably don't know because
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: you don't watch Frida Air TV, but that they were
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: calling her Veruca Salt because in an intro video, she's like,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: my dad brings me a coffee in the morning and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: he turns my car around. That is spot on. I
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: would highly recommend people going and checking out Love Island
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: UK though. It is the perfect show to watch now
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: that it's winter because I'm finding myself vicariously living through
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the contestants on there. I think that is all we
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: have time for. Kate, I'm so sad that you won't
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: be joining us for the next couple of episodes, but
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: it is going to be such an exciting time in
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. Yes, it will be. I
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: am sad as well. I have promised Rhys that this
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: is my last day of work because he keeps telling
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: me to rest. This podcast was recorded on the traditional
• 30:24
