Fat Shaming, A Legal Threat & the Gownlow · Outspoken the Podcast

  Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Outspoken.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It's your dose of the hottest influencer and pop culture
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: news twice a week. I'm Amy Torber and coming up
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: on today's show, Bec Judd's kids steal the show in
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: her Brownlow diaries. Michaela Tester slams a blonde bitch from Adelaide.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Let's hope that's not you, Sophie.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: We'll wait and see.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: And our highs and lows of the week. But first,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: controversial Slickstick owner Mia Plesic is facing legal action over
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: after not upholding her end of a contra deal with
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: bridal boutique Champery Couture. Yeah, and just after we recorded
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Tuesday's show, the divisive influencer uploaded her much anticipated wedding photos,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: revealing she went with a different gown. What did you
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: think of the dress?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: It wasn't exactly what I envisioned her to wear. I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: thought she'd have something very blingy.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: This dress had a very plunging neckline and it had
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: this floral lace detailing around it. She also wore a
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: very long veil with her hair pulled back in a bun.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: She was trying to go for that very sophisticated look.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: And I hate to ever speak ill of anyone's wedding,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: but I felt it looked a little bit cheap, the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: actual dress. Yeah, you could tell she had to pick
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: up the dress last minute.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, she looked nice.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Well, it is believed that she purchased it off the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: rack when she was shopping in Dubai before their trip.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: And that is why I think it maybe didn't fit
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: perfectly because there are a few comments saying it was ill-fitting.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Around the breast area.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Well, shortly after Mia uploaded the wedding photos, Shampoo Couture
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: released a statement to Instagram confirming the gown in the
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: photos was not theirs. So the owner of the boutique wrote,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: we have received inquiries regarding the situation involving Miss Plesic.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I love that they're now referring to her as Miss Plesic.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Please note the gown worn was not one of our gowns.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We can confirm that we created a beautiful gown for
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Miss Plesic, which she approved at every stage. Now, in
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: this post, they also shared a beautiful sketch of Mia's gown.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And on top of the sketch, it said, Champeree for Mia.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: They also shared a text message exchange with Mia. So
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: in it, the owner excitedly sent a progress shot of
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the dress. So it was a pearl bodice to which
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Mia replied, seriously divine.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Do you love it?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Now, Champeree Couture went on to confirm in their Instagram
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: post that despite the boutique fulfilling their obligations, Mia did not,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and they'd been forced to engage a lawyer. And to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: show that they were serious, they included the.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Name of the legal team.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I wondered if this was a bit of a pot
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: shot at Mia, because a couple of years ago, we
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: reported that Mia had sent a fake legal letter to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: another content creator. So I wondered if they included his
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: name to show that they meant business. What I took
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: from their post was that the dress that Champery Couture
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: made for Mia was was so much nicer than the
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: dress that she actually decided to wear.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It looked more luxe. It looked like it fit her properly.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I also think that Shampoo and Couture was desperate to
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: put something out there because they didn't want anyone thinking
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: that this was one of their gowns. Even the way
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: that they capitalised this is not our gown. And it's
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: because there's been such a strong reaction to the dress
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and a lot of followers felt somewhat perplexed as to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: why Mia would choose a gown that was off the rack.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: as opposed to one that had been custom designed for
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: her and that she approved every step of the way.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: So one follower said, just got to say, I love
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the champery one better. Whilst another said the dress she
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: ended up wearing is below average. And another follower said, unfortunately,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I was so disappointed with her dress.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely beautiful, but I was totally expecting more. And
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I think it's because she had such an over the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: top and lavish wedding that you thought, well, this gown
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: is going to be a showstopper. But it sort of
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: reminded me of a gown that I've already seen before.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: There's a brand, it's a beautiful brand called Made With
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Love Bridal. And there's a very similar design that often
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: gets featured in their marketing campaigns. Well, Champery Couture are
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: still hoping they'll be able to sell the dress that
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: they made for Mia. So they're planning on doing a
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: photo shoot in the gown, but it's going to be
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a hard dress to sell because This is designed for
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Mia's body shape. Yeah, because this gown doesn't come in
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a sample size, which a lot of influencers are generally gifted.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: And I suppose that's the unfair nature about the industry
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: sometimes that a certain size bride will often get a
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: gown because they'll be able to take the gown back
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and resell it. It's a very specific person that will
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: fit this dress because Mia is breastfeeding still. So from
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: what the brand has said, the bust size is a
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: size 20, but the waist is really small. I don't
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: know how much luck they're going to have selling this dress. Well,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: they said that any funds they do recoup from selling
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the dress will be donated to Bully Zero, which I
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: think is another pointed message towards Mia. It's also very
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: clear that something bigger is brewing in the background because
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: in this statement, the boutique owner alleges that this is
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: not an isolated incident. So she claimed that other companies
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and individuals were including a Dubai jeweler, have also faced
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: similar challenges with Mia. Now, they're being very careful with
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: their language here. I think this statement has been approved
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: by a lawyer because they're calling it challenges. So it
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: seems like a number of businesses have heard about this
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: story and they have all come together potentially to launch
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: joint action or try and expose some of these dealings
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: in another way.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: And we want to confirm these are just allegations.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Mia is yet to make any comment on Shampree Couture's statement.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing she's laying low at the moment. She's obviously
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: wanting to enjoy her wedding high. Well, I wouldn't say
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: she's laying low because she's posted so many photos of
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: her wedding.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: She's posted a video as well. I think that she's.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Probably just ignoring all of the noise at the moment
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and trying to have a good time. It's hard to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: believe that 20 years ago my husband won his first
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: round low and I wore the red dress. After a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: six-year hiatus, the Brownlow queen, Bec Jard, returned to football's
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: night of nights. The popular TV personality was there to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: mark 20 years since her husband, Chris, won the Brownlow,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and more importantly, the night that changed her life forever
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: because of that red dress. Now, Sophie, Bec isn't necessarily
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: known for relatable content. she attempted to keep things real
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: by sharing a behind the scenes vlog of her Brownlow prep.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I love this.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's any secret to listeners that I
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: am a bit of a Beck Judd stan and I
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: ate this.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Whole vlog up.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: So since I was a teenager and I feel like
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you're the same, I have always been fascinated by the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Brownlow process.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Like, How do the deals work? How long does it
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: take the girls to get ready?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I've always wanted to be a fly on the wall
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and this is what Beck Judd gave us. And it's
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: funny because it was actually Beck's kids who stole the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: show in this reel. So her 10-year-old daughter, Billie, was
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: in charge of filming most of the behind the scenes
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: content and she did not miss a beat. I wonder
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: if this video was part of a deal with Jeton
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Couture because this brand has been dressing Beck for 16
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: years And she made a real effort to show how
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the whole design process worked. Yeah. And what I found
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: most fascinating is that she had her first fitting only
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: five days out from the Brownlow. Wow. And in the fitting,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the team showed her a bunch of sketches of different dresses,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: and she could basically pick what she liked from the
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: different designs. And she also tried on a couple of
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: backup options, which were already half made. It's pretty crazy
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to think that they would have been working on this
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: dress quite solidly for five days to make it happen.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Five days.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: It sounds very Mia Plesik of her. Yeah, it does
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: have that kind of vibe to it. But I don't
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: know if perhaps more was going on in the background
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and she'd approved some designs before.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It was quite.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Interesting with the sketches because she ended up having this
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: very poofy skirt, but that wasn't in any of them.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And I actually think that the skirt was the downfall
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: of the whole outfit because she ended up being on
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: some of.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: The worst dress lists.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: What?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Which surprises me. I thought that we'd gotten.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Rid of worst dress category. I thought that was quite
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: frowned upon.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I feel like this year, the vibe around the brown
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: low has actually been really good. I thought it was
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: because I think that millennials and Gen Zers, we've all
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: adjusted our opinion towards it. But then I went on
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the Daily Mail and they were absolutely laying into the girls.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: And then I've seen a couple of news.com articles where
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: You know when they won't say something looks bad, but
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: they'll leave it to the comment section to say it? No,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: they'll always be like, and doesn't so-and-so look absolutely gorgeous
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: in her dress?
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: And it's like the worst photo.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it was quite clear that Beck was trying
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: to prove that she's relatable in this vlog because she
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: showed that she got caught off guard one weekend when
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the designers asked her to drop everything and head straight in.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: And she showed that she was wearing these really daggy
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: brown tracksuit pants, which were covered in an apple sponge
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: cake that she had been making that day and also
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: dog hair. Were they actually visibly covered in shit?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: They were actually. Oh, I love that.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: The tracksuit pants were this sort of, you know, that
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: teddy bear material. They looked ultra daggy. I was like,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: surely she's going to change, but she didn't. That makes
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: me really like Bec.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Well, exactly. Her tactic is working.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I'm eating this all up.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: As you're sitting there in a Jagger jumper at the moment. Oh, yeah.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: There's a few good deals on Jagger at the moment.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Not sponsored. This is not sponsored.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I thought you were going to point out that I
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: had crap all over my tracksuit pants, but I've actually
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: put a brand new freshly washed pair on today. They're
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: looking lovely.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Now, it's quite funny because Beck.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Dropped everything and she brought Billy and her twins Tom
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: and Darcy into the fitting with her. And as she
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: was walking with her kids towards the designer boutique, her
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: son Tom asked if there's going to be any food
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: there because he's quite hungry. Now, let's listen to the exchange.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Let's go, guys. Found no fitting. There's no food there. Um,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Don't ask though, yeah? Because it's rude
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to go somewhere and just say straight away, can I
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: have food? I don't know why, but I get such.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: a sick kick out of hearing influencers interact with their kids.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: It's clear that Beck is worried that her kids were going.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: To come off as entitled. Yeah, but do you know
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: why I think that is?
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Because we reported a few weeks ago how Beck revealed
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: that she wasn't that maternal. Like she doesn't really, she's
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: never really been that person where she's been obsessed with
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: other people's kids or the fun aunt or whatever. Yeah,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: because she was sort of talking in a way that
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you would speak to an adult. Like don't say that
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: because that's rude. I mean, I think her son's only seven. Yeah,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: but she's saying that because she knows what it's like
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: When you're not that into kids and they are fucking rude. Well,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: it made me laugh because it's clear that one of
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the kids ended up dropping that they were hungry because
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the designer brought in the fanciest bowl of.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Chips I have ever seen.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, really?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: What kind of like, just like crisps? It was crisps.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: To me, they look light and tangy. But anyway, I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: They were in this like white scooped bowl. And even
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Beck was like, oh, my God, this is so fancy.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Normally they only have, like, champagne at these kind of designers.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: They were like, fuck, get this kid a bag of chips.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: It became apparent watching this vlog that Beck's kids have
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: no idea that their parents are football royalty because when
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: they arrived at Crown Towers, they were gushing about which
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: footy players they hoped that they would run into.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Here's what they said.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I really want to see, like, a Kripper or a
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Zach Butters in the room next to us. Or like
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a bunt just in the.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Room next to us or a date.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Harley reads here.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: I just realised that.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Bec also seemed to think this was pretty funny because
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: in the caption for her video she wrote, I think
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: the funniest bits are my kids being so excited seeing
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: footy players.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: It's like, duh, your dad is Chris Judd. Google him.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: It seemed like Crown Towers rolled out all of the
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: stops for the Judds because they put them in a huge...
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: two-bedroom villa so that the kids could join them because
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it was actually school holiday. So they said that they're
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: going to do a bit of a Brownlow stay, Kay.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: And despite living in a $ 7 million mansion in Brighton,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the kids seem to be in awe of the room,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: particularly the toilets. Big bubble bathtub. We've got a big
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: bubble bathtub. Great. And we've got a fancy toilet that
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Darcy's currently on. This was a nice room, but I
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: just thought because the kids are used to living in luxury,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: they might not be that excited by it. Yeah, but
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: think back to when you were a kid and you'd
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: go to some budget motel and be excited because they had.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Mints on the pillow.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I suppose because it's something different, isn't it? Well, one
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: thing that I have always wanted to know is what
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the wives and girlfriends actually eat in the lead up
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: to the Brownlow, because you always hear these horror stories
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: of women starving themselves. And Beck in particular has always
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: been scrutinised about her weight, even this year. Yeah, because
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the night after the Brownlow, Sky News ran with a
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: headline saying that fans are concerned over Beck's slender frame,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: which if anything, just encouraged more people to speculate and
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: leave their nasty comments. What was on the menu for
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Beck though, Amy? Well, Beck started her morning with an
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: omelette and a fruit platter, which is sort of what
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: you'd expect. Yeah. But it's her lunch that I thought
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: was so iconic. So she had a large serving of
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: nasi goreng accompanied by two chicken satays and prawn crackers.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: She then showed herself apologising to the makeup artist if
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: her breath smelt after lunch. Do you rate that meal?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Because I suppose a lot of the concern would be
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: around bloating in your dress and generally feeling a bit gross.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think I would eat it before the brown low,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: just because I personally am prone to bloating. But it's
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: rice and chicken.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Really? I feel like I bloat with rice. Don't people
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: bloat with rice?
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I would be keeping it like, I've probably just have
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the omelet and the fruit. Well, I think it's more,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: if you think back to your wedding, what did you
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: eat the morning of your wedding?
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, I felt faint.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: So again, this is probably, we need to fucking take
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: a shot every time I mentioned that my wedding was
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: 40 degrees. Yes, yes. my hairdresser kept saying to me,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: please eat something, please eat something because I am known
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: for bloating.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I did not want to bloat. I had a very
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: tight dress.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you bloat more if you don't eat anything.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I really didn't eat anything in the morning.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And then Kate had made hot cross buns. Like she,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: she has the worst thing you probably could have had
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: a hot cross bun about two hours before walking down
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the aisle. Well, I actually think Beck knows her shit.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: She has been at the Brownlow many a time. She's
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: walked many red carpets. Maybe she was worried about getting
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: too drunk as well.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: It's protein.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: The rice may be a bit questionable, but I think
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: that's a great meal before the Brownlow.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: It's been almost two years since that stupid blonde bitch
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: from Adelaide called me fat in that leaked Snapchat video
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: that she posted on her own story at that white
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: boxer band.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And still to this day, it affects me.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Before we get into the next segment, we want to
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: issue a trigger warning as we do touch on issues
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: related to eating disorders. Michaela Tester has opened up on
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: her TikTok about being fat shamed by fellow OnlyFans creator,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Carrie Gribble. Can you believe, Amy, that this incident happened
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: almost two years ago? Wow, I'm surprised it's been that long. Yeah, well,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: it all started when Michaela alleged that a girl she
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: met at an event caught her fat on her Snapchat story.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: She added, if she thinks this is what fat.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Is, I'm concerned.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: While Michaela didn't name Kerry, it didn't take long for
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: the leaked Snapchat story to surface. In the video, Kerry said,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Michaela Tester is fat in person. Now, Kerry Gribble ended
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: up addressing the drama, saying the only person she needed
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: to apologize to was Michaela and backtracked saying she didn't
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: think Michaela was fat and also insisted she didn't think
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the word fat was an insult.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: A bit of a cop out there.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: It turned out that the Snapchat was made whilst Kerry
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: was drunk and she meant to send it to her
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: best friend, but she accidentally uploaded.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: It to her Instagram story.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I still don't get how people can do this.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think it's easy enough.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: It's actually easy enough to do on Snapchat as well,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: which is quite horrifying. Snapchat's had this big resurgence.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Have you noticed?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I was listening to, I think it was Mamma Mia
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: and they were all saying, Oh God, who in their
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: thirties would be on Snapchat?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I fucking use Snapchat all the time. Yeah. For close
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: personal friends.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Well, of course, like that's what most people use it for.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: That's what I think people like about it, that it's
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: not infiltrated by celebrities and influencers. I know that they
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: do have the section where you can watch their stories,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: but it's more about like just having a fun moment
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: with your friends and having a laugh. But I've noticed,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: especially with UK influencers, there's this big push now for
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: people to follow them on Snapchat. Like Even Saffron Barker,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: she started talking about how now she's vlogging each day
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: on her Snapchat.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: They're probably getting paid by Snapchat. No, they are.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: That's the big issue. A lot of them are being
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: paid to promote it. Now, getting back to this story.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: So in a recent TikTok video, Mikaela revealed just how
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: much Kerry's comments have affected her.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Here's what she said.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: And it's so crazy that all it takes is one
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: little comment from someone to just fuck your life up.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: She fucked my life up. She fucked me up.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: In the head.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: And I just feel annoyed saying that because she will
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: probably see this video and she's probably going to get
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: such a kick out of it. But she's just an
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: evil little ratty bitch. I was experiencing it at an
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: older age. I didn't know how to deal with it.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I lost friends. I lost everything because of my eating disorder.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't even want to go outside.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I loved how Michaela didn't even name Kerry. She just
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: referred to her as a little ratty bitch. I think
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: she purposely did this because she doesn't want Kerry getting
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: any followers out of this or gaining any clout from it.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: It made me really sad to hear that this has
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: affected her so much. And she went on to say
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: that this incident is the reason that she hasn't been posting.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Daily vlogs like she used to.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And I went back and had a look and this
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: year she's only posted 13 videos. I was really surprised
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: that the commentary had affected Michaela Testa so badly because
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: From an outside perspective, you look at her and you
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: just go, you are so stunning. But she did reference
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the fact that she.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Has an eating disorder, which was triggered by these comments.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, she has been open about some of her
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: other mental health struggles before. And she opened up saying
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: that she has been seeing a therapist since this incident,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: but it's still affecting her. And she said that she
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: keeps trying to post like she normally would and be
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: her old self, but she just can't. Now, this video
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: attracted 3.6 million views and also a huge outpouring of
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: support in the comments section. Now, as you touched on, Amy,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: while Michaela refused to give Kerry the clout by naming her,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Michaela's new boyfriend, Maxwell Krause, named her in the comments section.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: So he tagged Kerry Gribble and wrote, Face card always declined.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Do you know what that means? I have no idea
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: what that means. Yeah, I had to look it up.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: So if anyone is in the same.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Boat as us, a face card is a social media
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: slang term that means someone is beautiful or attractive so
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: they can get anything they want like an unlimited credit card.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: So this is a really popular term on TikTok. So
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: for example, someone might say Rihanna's face card never declines.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Meaning that she looks beautiful no matter what.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: So this guy's basically saying you're gross.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: So he is saying that her face cut is always
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: declined because she looks bad.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Isn't that kind of hypocritical?
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Well, it's sort of going against the messaging of this video,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: which is to not bully people over their appearance. But
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I guess he's just being that overprotective boyfriend because she
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: explained in the video that he's saying, oh, let's go
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: out and swim in the creek or let's go and.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Do this outdoors.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: And she's basically been living as a hermit crab because
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: she feels so insecure and doesn't want to put a
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: bikini on. Well, his comment ended up getting over 23,000 likes.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I also wonder if she hasn't been as active on
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: OnlyFans because if she's not wanting to wear a bikini
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: in public, I wonder if she doesn't also want to
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: put up that sort of content online. I noticed a
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: lot of people were commenting that they were from Adelaide
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: and they had no idea who Kerry Gribble was before
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the whole incident. I must admit, I didn't realize who
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: she was either. I'd only heard about her on the
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: grapevine through a friend. When I saw Michaela's video popped
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: up and it was like, some bitch from Adelaide.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I was like, fuck, who is she talking about?
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Again, again, I was thinking it's about us from last
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: week with Nikki and Lucy. Now, interestingly, since being called
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: out by Michaela, Kerry has returned to TikTok. So she
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: took a break from the app while she went through
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: a breakup and.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: She's never really been that active on there.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: She's got 11,000 followers and just 10 videos. But in
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: the space of 24 hours, she has uploaded four videos.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: So it seems like she's trying to cash in on
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: the notoriety. Wow. I mean, they say any publicity is
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: good publicity. Has she gained any new followers? It only
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: seems like she's gained about 200 extra followers, but I
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: guess we'll have to see in the next couple of days.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Let's get into our highs and lows of the week.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: And my high for the week is that all of
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: the big brands have started bringing out their advent calendars.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: And it's so exciting because I know it's only September,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: but it's starting to feel a lot like Christmas. All
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: the shops are decked out. They've got all their Christmas
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: decorations out. Well, today is officially three months till Christmas.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: That is so exciting.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: My algorithm knows me too well because it keeps giving
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: me countdowns to Christmas. It'll be like, there's only 15
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: weeks left. Yeah. It's like, this is the sixth Monday
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: before Christmas.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, when is it too early to put your
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: tree up? Because I'm contemplating it at the moment. I
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: need a bit of happiness in my life. I think
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: the start of November is now socially acceptable. But just
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: back to the advent calendars. So all of the big
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: beauty brands have dropped their advent calendars and they are
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: popping up all over my TikTok feed. And the funniest
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: thing is there are so many thirsty influencers who are
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: calling out to brands to give them their calendars.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Well, because some of them are worth like a grand,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: aren't they?
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Well, the most expensive Australian one I've seen is the
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Jo Malone calendar, which costs $ 795.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: But you do get a cent for each day, like
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: each 24 days. Yeah, but aren't they only like little
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: tiny cents? They are. But some of these beauty brands,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: their calendars are only 12 days long, which I'm not
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: really for.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: No.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Whilst we're talking about beauty brands, I just want to
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: hijack your segment for a second and say that I
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: am so sorry if anything I said came across as
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: age shaming in the Emmylou topic.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I felt I was doing the opposite of age shaming.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: This was Tuesday's show you're referring to. There's a snippet
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: on our Instagram story and in it I said that
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I think that she was trying to target her line
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: at some 40 and 50 year olds who don't feel
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: like they belong at Mecca or Sephora. I wasn't saying
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: that all 40 and 50-year-olds don't shop there because if anything-
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: And understandably, some of the 40-year-olds who listen to our
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: show were offended because if anything, I actually think people
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: in their 40s are the ones who have the money
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: to be shopping at Sephora. Yeah, I get that.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: But I totally understand that.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I was saying that there are some people- some women
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: in that category who only like shopping at a chemist's warehouse.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Or a Priceline. I fucking love Priceline. I love chemist's warehouse.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I love a discount chemist. Anyway, you're apologising. Can I
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: just say there's two demographics of shoppers.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that your age has anything to do
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: You mentioned age though.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I mentioned age because that's Emmylou's target market is in
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: that age group. All right. Anyway, again, I'm the last
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: person to be ageist. I'm five years away from turning
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: 40 myself or four and a half years away.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: So, again. Again. All right.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Well, moving on to Emco Beauty because they are making
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: headlines this year because they have released their first beauty
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: advent calendar ever and it sold out within 24 hours.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: So how much was theirs? Well, theirs was only.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: $ 59, which is why I think it sold out, but
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: it was only 12 days long and it was packed
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: of their Emco Beauty minis. They are actually going to
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: restock their calendars, but they're getting so much hype on
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: TikTok and Instagram.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: It's a good little present, isn't it, though? It really is.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I want to go get one.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Kate sent me through ones from Kmart where you got
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: a little soft toy every day. I think that's really
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: cute for kids. The one calendar I want is, I mean,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: it's in America. So Costco are selling Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Advent calendars, and each day you get a small figurine
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: of one of the characters.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I did a little Google to see if you could
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: get them in Australia. And apparently Timu sells it, Timu, whatever.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, I don't shop from there.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I've bought stuff from there once before, but every time
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: someone brings it up, I mean, I'm guessing it's not
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: the best quality and it's probably not great to support them,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: but everyone says they have their credit card details stolen. Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Apparently they steal your credit card details. So I wouldn't
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: be recommending shopping on there.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I just want a chocolate calendar. Is that wrong?
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Like Yeah, I'm wondering how much they're going to be
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: this year because everything has just gone through the roof.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I would love just like a Freddo or Caramello one
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: where you've got a little, like I feel like that's
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: enough chocolate for the day.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the perfect size.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to bring a low to the podcast
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: this week because your low is quite graphic and I
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: will let you get into that one. Well, I was
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: quite horrified to discover that I have this massive bump
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: on my wrist and you were over at my house, Amy,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: and I said, oh my God, what the fuck is
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: this on my wrist? It looks like a bone is
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: poking out and.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: You're like, it's nothing.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Nothing's wrong. Yeah, but I have to say that instantly
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: to reassure you because you're so melodramatic.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: How fucked does it look though? Like it looks absolutely fucked.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's the way you're holding your wrist
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, when I've been anyway.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: So I did a bit of Googling because I instantly
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: wanted to be told not cancer.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: So apparently it could be two things.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: I haven't been to the doctor yet, but it could
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: be a ganglion cyst. My husband keeps joking saying, get
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: your ganglion cyst away. And if you've been lucky enough
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: not to have one, it is a fluid-filled bump that's near.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: The wrist joint.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's skip over the gross details.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but it's actually quite funny because, well, your
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: husband told me this.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: So there's videos of people trying to smash a ganglion cyst. Okay,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: so everyone's going to stop listening to this. No, I
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: think it's quite fascinating. So apparently they smash it and
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: it explodes. But, I mean, most people go to the
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: doctor and they get it drained. What else I think
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: it could be is, by the way, if you have one,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: don't do that. No, well, no, please don't. The other
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: thing I think it could be is a carpal boss
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: because they are.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Caused by- A carpal boss. It's called carpal boss.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Apparently it's caused by overuse and I spent, well, that
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: sounds funny because I know what you're thinking, but it
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: was because I did five hours of weeding on the
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: weekend and then it popped up a couple of days later.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And I knew my arms were sore.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Is this more of a sign of that you actually
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: don't do that much manual labor normally?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Or actually your.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Partner pointed out that perhaps it could be from constantly scrolling.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: On your phone.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Well, it could be one of the two, but I
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: think it was brought on by the weeding, but I
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: will get it sorted soon. Yeah. Well, what's your high
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: of the week to end this podcast with a high?
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: My high of the week is a bit lame, but
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: here we are. So It is the collaboration that Coke
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: and Oreo have done. So they have released a Coke,
• 26:49
