Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
Sophie Torbah and coming up on today's show, Sarah's Days,
insensitive clapback.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
At women struggling with fertility.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Kyrie Harvey's soft launches a new puppy just weeks after
revealing she rehomed her dog, and Olivia Math's desperate.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Plea to find her stolen cat.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
But first, Sammy Robinson has soft launched her new man
during a Mexican muckbunk. Now, this mukbunk took place in
her new Guys car, but Sammy cleverly angled the camera
so it was only her in the shot. We did
get to see his arm and also a very fleeting
shot off the top of his head. We also did
briefly get to hear his voice and see them interact
(00:48):
as a couple, and it is clear that they're pretty
comfortable with each other because they were dressed in matching
gray tracksuit tops and Sammy was literally holing into a
large burrito at one stage she had sore stripping from
her mouth, and they also shared the burrito back and forth.
So this seems like it's been in the works for
quite some time. There is a level of comfort that
(01:09):
you have when it's a boyfriend and not just someone
you're seeing.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's pretty intimate to share a burrito. As much as
I love my husband, I don't think i'd share one
with him.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I think it shows how early on they are in
this relationship, because once you've been going out with someone
for a few years, you're definitely having set for burritos
and you're not sharing. Yeah, you're like, those are my chips,
don't touch them. There's that sort of thing going on. Well.
This video has attracted over eighty one thousand views, with
her fans wanting to know more about the mystery man.
One follower wrote who is this man? Sis, whilst another
(01:39):
said don't hide the man girly, we want to know,
and another said she's a relationship girly, which I have
to agree with. I mean, if you're Sammy Robinson, I'm
sure it's not hard to get into a relationship.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
She's absolutely stunning.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I'm sure there is a line of guys waiting outside
her door wanting to ask her on a date. Soft
launches are really changing since TikTok because preview it was
really a soft launch, it was maybe a guy's arm
on a table in a photo of you at a cafe. However,
this guy is fully in the video.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
He's talking. Yes, you can't actually see his face, but
this is a clear message from Sammy, I am in
a relationship because you're not putting this type of content
out with just anyone. I do love that when someone
soft launches a relationship, how quickly you can turn into
an FBI agent and analyze someone's content to just try
and find anything out about who this person is. I've
(02:30):
probably watched this video a little too closely because I
have ascertained that this guy's name potentially starts with a W.
So in the video, his hands are shown on the
wheel of the car as he goes through the drive through,
and he is wearing a friendship bracelet with the letters
S and W on it. So I am assuming that
(02:51):
this is a very cute couple bracelet, and the S
is for Sammy and potentially the W is for his name.
She clearly likes cute couple of things like that, because
last time she hard launched her relationship, she shared that
they had a special personalized key ring made and it
was a photo of them kissing on it. Yeah, that's
clearly been burned by now.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I mean, I think she'll probably drop a few more
clues like that on her Instagram story. I did go
and search Sammy Robinson's friend list for any guy's name
starting with a W, and I have spired one guy
called Will. I won't be saying his last name because
it could be incorrect, but I have an inkling. I
think the top of his head looks the same as
what we saw.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
In the TikTok and A were assuming that Sammy made
the bracelet for him. Oh, I reckon that would be
very cute.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Acknowledging that nine to nine point nine percent of you,
I'm not these crazy people, these crazy obsessed people that
actually make me feel uncomfortable. I'm like, well, we'll get
a hobby.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Sarah's Day has issued an insensitive clap back at her
followers struggling with fertility. After announcing her third pregnancy last week,
Sarah says she was inundated with messages accusing her of
baiting a fertility battle. In a four minute ran on
her Instagram story, she labeled these women as obsessed and
fixated on her even telling them to get a hobby
(04:06):
that didn't revolve around her. Kate, can you tell us
more well?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Sarah took to her Instagram story on Monday to address
the backlash around her pregnancy announcement, and she said that
she needed to shut it down quickly because it was
annoying and made her feel uncomfortable. She then said this.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
For the past few days, I've received so many DMS emails,
comments like there's two separate people, there's like frustrated people,
and then people who I don't know where this they're
getting this.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Narrative from anyway.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I just replied to a bunch of dms and I'm like,
I'm just gonna nip this in the bud now because
people are like, I'm so triggered that you created content
and vlogs saying you're not pregnant when you were.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The content Sarah is referring to is a vlog that
she uploaded on the eighth of February entitled Live catch Up,
Being Vulnerable Again and Updating You on life Now. It
was the last video in a short YouTube series she
shared about her can journey, and in the vlog, she
explained that she was in her fourth month of trying
to conceive. This is what she said.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
As you know, we have been really casual in trying
to conceive. However, it's our fourth month now trying, which
for some people is nothing like I know people have
tried for years.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Again, I talk about that and reference that in my
previous blog, so just stay with me. But for us,
because we conceived Malkai on the first try, from going
from like first try baby to the fourth month, it's
something we've never experienced before.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Feels nice to like bring you along on this journey
and just feel really open and vulnerable about what we're
going through at the moment.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
So it's fine and like I'm not stressed about it,
but I don't know, like when you decide you want
to have another baby, it's like.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Hard for not to consume your thoughts, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Sarah then went on to say that she knew it
was a sensitive topic and she tried to tread carefully
so she didn't upset anyone or was insensitive. Now. Later
on in the vlog, she discussed how she and her
friends are in their seat of trying to fall pregnant
and are consumed with it. She then said, this.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Don't want this to be a stressful experience for us,
because I have no reason to think like that at
the moment. You know, like, who knows how long it
took us to conceive Fox because he was a love baby,
but Malicha, we got him on the first try. So
I'm like, I don't want to overthink it, like it's
all in God's plan.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I truly believe that.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I've really been praying that God has his hand on
this pregnancy. Anyway, I'm just rambling now and just chatting
to you like I would my sister. Just want to
be more vulnerable with you guys, I guess, and like
really take you along on what I'm going through week
by week.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
So back to Sarah's clapback, she addressed this vlog specifically
and explained that she actually did fall pregnant that cycle.
She said when she filmed the vlog, though, that she
was in the weight period and got her ovulation wrong,
so thought she wouldn't fall pregnant. She then went on
to say, this.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
So we actually end up I got a positive pregnancy
test at like the end of feb or something like
in feb. So this was actually filmed in January. This
flog is filmed at the end of Jan and it
goes up on the eighth of Feb.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Now, the timing has confused many followers, particularly because she
uploaded the vlog as a life update, but then has
come out and said that the content was pre recorded.
Now back to Sarah's Instagram stories. She also addressed allegations
that she claimed she was struggling to get pregnant, saying this.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Lastly, while we're on this topic, i got this random
DM yesterday saying, I'm really disheartened that you claim to
struggle to get pregnant this time. We've never claimed to.
We didn't struggle to get pregnant. We got pregnant on
the fourth try, which we feel so grateful about. The
only time I've ever used the word struggle is in
relation to some close family members and close friends of
(07:43):
mine who are struggling and have struggled to get pregnant.
So I mentioned that in a vlog that I want
to be as open. Well, I wanted to be as
open as I could during our trying to conceive journey,
but while being respectful because now that I am really
close for people who are on that journey, I'm just
so much more sensitive that we are in such a
(08:04):
greatful we're in such a blessed position to be able
to for pregnant naturally.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
But yeah, we've never struggled to for pregnant with this baby,
like it took us four times. But yeah, the only
time I've used the word struggle is in relationship one
of my friends and family who has struggled. Anyway, just
some nipping that in the butt now, because it's like
making me angry. Guys, relax, everybody, just flax now.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I was pretty taken aback by that because Sarah's YouTube
channel back in twenty sixteen and seventeen revolved around her
bid to balance her hormones, her PCOS diagnosis, and trying
to get her period back. So, for those who aren't
familiar with PCOS, it stands for polycystic ovary syndrome and
it's a complex hormonial condition that affects about one in
(08:49):
ten women. And there are a range of symptoms associated
with PCOS, including irregular menstrual cycles, acne, and reduced fertility.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And I think what is most interesting about that is
that Sarah really attracted a large audience by being vulnerable
and sharing about her journey with PCOS, which included giving
a ton of holistic tips to resolve symptoms. And so
she still has that loyal audience of women who were
also struggling with their fertility and have gone on this
(09:18):
journey with her. So that is why there are so
many people up in arms over there.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And at that time, she shared with her audience that
it would be hard for her to conceive and when
the time came to have children, it was likely she
would have to go down the IVF path. So it's
likely a lot of her followers from that time struggled
with the same issues as her. Yeah, I do find
it wild she would make such a claim when her
YouTube channel literally holds all of the receipts. So just
(09:43):
five months ago, during a vlog about her latest conception journey,
she said this, if you've.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Been here since like twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, you may
know that Fox was a love baby. First of all,
I got told by a gynocologist and multiple doctors that
I would probably never fall pregnant naturally, and even IVF
for me wouldn't be a sure thing because I had
polcistic ovarian syndrome. I was pretty affected by that, obviously,
thinking that I would never conceive naturally, maybe never have kids,
(10:09):
like I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And then when Sarah announced her second pregnancy in twenty
twenty one, she said this.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Although I had been pregnant three years earlier, our sun
Fox was a complete surprise, as I had been told
by our doctors that due to my hormonal imbalances and
PCOS that falling pregnant naturally was highly unlikely.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
So with this being the last.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Fertility related news I had been given, I tried not
to get my hopes up too much and just be
prepared that it may take us a while to conceive again.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And even when she announced her most recent pregnancy, she
tried to set this tone that the journey wasn't easy
for her. Let's throw to what she said. I don't
think there's a line, but the fact that I'm filming.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Means that, like every other month.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
I have subconscious hope hoped it down that maybe maybe
this is our month.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
That I get a positive pregnancy test.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
If things couldn't get worse. Sarah then took aim at
the women who were triggered by her content. She labeled
the women as obsessive. Let's throw to what she said.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Also acknowledging that nine to nine point nine percent of
you are not these crazy people, these crazy obsessed people
that actually make me feel uncomfortable. I'm like, well, get
a hobby, get a hobby. Make your hobby, not me.
And anyway, yeah, obviously I know this is not majority
of you. It's like the smallest group of people.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
But we know the smallest voices in the room make
the loudest noise. If my children had anything.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
To go by, the smallest voices in the room make
the loudest noise.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So for some context, this outburst was off the back
of a comment Sarah received on a recent Instagram reil So.
The follower was upset that Sarah said she was struggling
to conceive after three months and said it was tone
deaf to women like her who were actually struggling with fertility.
The woman wrote, and the audacity to put struggling while
already being pregnant. When posting that, the woman went on
(12:10):
to say she was a longtime fan who wo had
watched Sarah's videos from day dot now. Sarah hit back,
saying she never once said they were struggling to conceive
and confirmed they got pregnant. The fourth month of trying.
She went on to explain that she had mixed up
her ovulation day in the vlog, but confirmed she did
end up conceiving that month. Sarah finished up by writing,
(12:30):
please do not spread false information. Not once have I
said we have struggled to conceive this baby. It is
clear the timeline of Sarah's posting has confused a lot
of people. As the follower responded, the videos say they
were posted two months ago, which would be March, and
touched on struggling with TTC, whether that has been emotionally
or physically, and the comment section is full of women
(12:52):
with infertility. So I felt uncomfortable that we all felt
we related to and felt sorry for something that was
actually fine behind the scenes. Perhaps YouTube is displaying the
posting time frame wrong. Happy to send a screenshot of
it if you need it, genuinely not trying to spread misinformation.
Just found it upsetting the way it unfolded with no
trigger warnings, etc. For such a huge topic. Now, Sarah responded, respectfully, Hannah,
(13:16):
if you're clearly as fixated and obsessed with this as
you appear to be, check the date of the vlog
and maybe get a hobby that allows you not to
have the mental time for fixations and false narratives like this.
Not once did I say we struggled. We got pregnant
on our fourth month of trying and are so grateful.
I was open about feeling hopeful certain months after having
pregnancy symptoms, but my tests were negative. It's okay for
(13:39):
me to be disappointed with negative tests. However, not once
did I say we were struggling to conceive because we didn't.
I cannot believe that Sarah would label a woman who
has struggled with fertility as fixated and obsessed. The lack
of empathy is truly disturbing, particularly when Sarah shared so
openly how consuming her own own pregnancy journey was. You
(14:02):
think that she would relate to this woman in a sense.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I really felt for this woman because she outlined to
Sarah that she's been a longtime fan of her, She's
been following her journey for about ten years, and she
was pretty considered in what she wrote to Sarah. I
think she was trying to explain to her why her
community of followers is hurting so much by her announcement.
I'd hate to see what she'd actually write to someone
who is considered a troll.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well, I saw a lot of people alleging that Sarah
has been sending out a lot of very rude dms
and that the tone is even worse than this one
that she publicly left to this woman. Well, this comment
did end up getting deleted. But what really blows my
mind about this whole thing is that instead of taking
the feedback on board from her followers and women who
were struggling with their fertility, she's instead decided to attack
(14:48):
them publicly. Like, I don't understand. Why didn't she acknowledge
these women's feelings and just apologize. It just shows all
her disclaimers that she added in about not wanting to
upset anyone and being sensitive just virtue signaling, because it's
quite clear by her reaction that she doesn't care who
she upsets.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I just don't understand, because if she had jumped on
her Instagram stories and just said I am so sorry
if I offended anyone, that was not my intention at all.
I feel so much for women out there who were struggling.
I have been there in a situation where I thought
I may have difficulty conceiving.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
But I've been so lucky.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I think a lot of people would have been like
fair enough well, particularly because she opened up about the
fact that her sister and also friends were struggling with fertility.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I wonder how they feel after seeing that outburst on Instagram.
She's kind of acting like a stroppy teenager. Like it's
as if she doesn't realize she has a huge following
and a massive brand, and the followers are actually the
people who were giving her this amazing life. Like obviously
she's worked hard to put this content out there, but her.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Followers, who have paid for her courses and have paid
for her clothes, they are allowing her to have this
amazing life, and all she's.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Doing is constantly attacking them and saying, you're obsessed with me.
You put out a vlog every week, you're on your
stories every week. You want people to buy into your life.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But she's also not understanding the parasocial relationship that people
have developed with her over ten years. So for a
follower who, as you said, Amy, feels like they've supported
her and brought into her life, for them to receive
a rude DM or a rude public message would.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Actually be very crushing because they feel like Sarah is
their friend and they're just bringing up with their friend.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Hey, I don't think you've handled this, and.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
She wasn't even rude. That follower was not rude at
all the whole friend thing. Sarah has built this brand
on calling her followers her sissies, and in one of
her vlogs where she spoke about her conception journey recently,
she said, Oh, you know, I just love opening up
on my vlog because I feel like I'm talking to
my sisters. So you can't then hit back at followers
(16:53):
when they feel like they are your sister and complain
when they feel like their sister hasn't treated them properly.
And this whole commentary around get a better hobby rather
than obsessing over me really rubbed me up the wrong way.
It's like, do you realize that people watching your content
as their hobby is paying for your bills. It does
seem to be Sarah's new thing to label people as obsessed,
(17:14):
because we recently discussed how problematic it was for her
to return to the trend of sharing what she eats
in a day, and we posted a TikTok video about it,
and she hid out at us in the comment, saying,
your obsession with commenting and scrutinizing my life is honestly
getting uncomfortable girls. Now, I think this comment proves she
doesn't have a comeback for her behavior. Why doesn't she
(17:35):
ever acknowledge what the video is about? I was like,
you're obsessed with me? Yeah? We did follow up writing, Hi, Sarah,
You're one of many influencers who we discuss on our
pop culture podcast. As one of Australia's biggest YouTubers, the
content you put out to your millions of followers sparks
conversations around the world. Sometimes we agree with you and
sometimes we don't. In this instance, you discussed how your
(17:56):
previous What I Eat in a Day videos reflected a
time in your life when you were practicing disordered eating.
What concerns us is those videos are still up online
for vulnerable people to see and are monetized. While you
might not be in that mindset anymore, your old content
is still being served up to vulnerable women who will
copy what you used to eat in the hope of
obtaining your body. Just wondering if you've thought about taking
(18:17):
those videos down now. Sarah, of course did not respond
to that question.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Her comment had very mean girl vibes, and I would
have respected it more if she came back to us
explaining why she feels a day on the plate still
has a place in society, not just said that we're
obsessed with her and how dare we talk about her
life when she literally puts it out to millions of people.
It would be nice for her to take accountability for once,
And it does concern me that she was clearly filming
this what I Eat in a Day video while she
(18:43):
was pregnant, so no doubt it's going to be what
I Eat in the day as a pregnant woman, which
I think is even more unhelpful. And I think what
added to the grossness of this whole thing is the
fact that she literally timed the promotion of her pregnancy
workout guide with her pregnancy announcement. Think Sarah really needs
to reflect on the fact that she has millions of
(19:03):
followers on Instagram and YouTube, and she should be using
her platform to be empathetic and considerate of women, particularly
those who are struggling with their fertility.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Put a thing you down. If someone stole your cat,
you found out who it was and confronted them. They
denied everything. Have so many inconsistencies in their story and
it's all still ongoing.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Gold COO's influencer Olivia Mathers has issued a desperate plea
to anyone with information about her beloved Bengal cat Hawky,
who was reportedly stolen over a week ago. This story
is so sad, Sophy, can you tell us how it's
all unfolded? This story does have quite a few twists
and turns, and it all started when Olivia received information
from a neighbor that her cat, Hawky, had been dropped
(19:48):
at the pound. So the neighbour's dad had allegedly found
Hawky wandering and decided to drop the pedigree cat at
the pound. Now here's what Olivia said about the exchange
with her neighbor.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
The chick said, I made sure my dad went there.
I watched his location, I watched his location leave this
their house and followed his location to the pound. Because like,
why would you say that? That's so dodgy?
Speaker 6 (20:18):
All right, I reckon they're trying to sell.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
This is getting sass as fuck. So the lady who
said that her dad's dropped Hawky to the pound said
that she was dropped off on Saturday at lunchtime, the
lady that works here at the pound said that no
one dropped off a cat on Saturday. These people who
have taken Hawky three days ago, four days ago are lying.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
As you can hear from that grab. Olivia and her
mum raced down to the pound to be told by
staff that no Bengal cat had been dropped there.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
This led Olivia to confront her neighbor via text. She
explained to her neighbor that the pound had no information
on a Bengal cat, and to confirm what day Hawkey
was dropped there, and also to confirm that she was
at the right pound now. The neighbor replied confirming the details,
but when Olivia asked for her to send through her
dad's contact details, her story suddenly changed. The neighbor wrote, Hi,
(21:18):
I've talked to my father and.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
He didn't tell me.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
But as he went to take the cat out the car,
it escaped and he freaked out and didn't tell me. Now,
this message came through four days after Hawky had allegedly
been dropped at the pound.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It's very suss that the dad would have only just
mentioned this news. Now what what the fuck?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
This pisses me off so much, it's clear something more
is going on. I feel so heartbroken for poor Olivia.
Hawky is such a beautiful cat, and she keeps posting
these really sad videos of her and the cat together. Yeah,
he has been by her side since she moved out
of her family home and into her new place. And
he is a very striking cat. As people know Bengal cats,
(21:59):
they have that sort of tiger print and pure bread.
Bengal cats are in very high demand, so they can
fetch upwards of two thousand dollars. So that is what
makes this disappearance so fishy. I do like that Olivia
is using her very large following to her advantage. So
she has over seven hundred and sixty thousand followers and
a lot of influencer friends, so she's essentially been sharing
(22:22):
this lost cat post that it's gone everywhere. It's been
popping up on all of these influences I follows Instagram stories.
Well it's not just a lost cat post. She says
that this cat has been stolen. So in the post,
it says, my cat has been stolen and we believe
the thieves are.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Trying to sell her.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
She also urged her followers to keep an eye out
on marketplace or just in general. If anyone is trying
to sell this cat online, surely one of.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
The big news stations is going to pick up on this.
This is such a good.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Story if the Daily Mail has so far, and also
the Gold Coast Bulletin, so hopefully it will lead to
some information.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
It did lead to a number of.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Blue ticks reaching out in the comments set so fitness
influencer Ashy Bindes shared that she had gone through something similar.
She wrote, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Will
continue to share my heart breaks for you. Someone stole
my cat years ago and I never got him back,
so I know the feeling and it's gut wrenching.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Sending you strength. When I saw this unfolding online, I
was wondering if this was targeted, because Olivia does share
about her cat openly online and as you've touched on,
it is an expensive cat. However, Olivia has actually pointed
the blame at her neighbors, saying this.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
All right, I'm going to show with you guys as
much as I can about this whole situation without getting
myself in trouble. But I just know it is completely
eft up. There's no doubt in my mind that my
neighbors have stolen my cat, and I washolding information of
her current whereabouts. The two interactions that I had with them,
their stories were so inconsistent. They also kept making mention
(23:51):
of how much she was worth. They're deflecting hard, being defensive.
Apparently the last time they saw her was on the driveway,
yet they don't want to prove this with the camera
that faces their driveway.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Well, as she outlined, the most frustrating thing is that
these neighbors actually have CCTV outside the front of their house,
so they could clearly try and prove their so called
story about discovering this cat and taking him to the pound.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
But obviously they have something to hide. It's so frustrating
because what are you supposed to do in this situation.
I mean, I'd be wanting to call the police, but
there's not really that much they can do.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
This has set me off, like the thought of someone
stealing your pet. It's one of the most distressing things
I can think of.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'd go around and kick the door open. I'll be like, look,
I'm here for Hawky. Well. The sad thing is she's
such a young girl.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
She probably doesn't, you know, feel comfortable getting herself into
a situation like that. I think there's three to four
people living in this house and it's just her living
on her own.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And the thing is the cat might not be there anymore.
They may have already sold her. It's just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
She is currently offering a cash reward for anyone with
verified information about Hawky's disp appearance or for his return.
She's been putting up all of these posters in her
area with the heading stolen, and on the poster she
did actually list her email address and phone number, and
some followers were concerned, thinking, oh my god, so many
people are going to be hitting up Olivia just trying
(25:16):
to talk to her. It is not her real number,
someone else's number putting it out there. But I mean,
even I hope from us talking about it, maybe someone
has information about this cat, because.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I really hope that they get reunited, and hopefully someone
just drops it off in a box on her doorstep,
no questions asked, because the last thing you want is
someone to panic and to do any sort of harm
towards this cat. They just need to return it.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
You gotta pet.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
You got a responsibility.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
If your dog is lost, you don't look for an
hour then call it quits.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
You get your ass out there and you'll find that dog.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Kyrie Harvey has soft launched her new puppy less than
two weeks after confirming the news that she rehomed her
assie doodle Socks. The latest update in the saga upset
a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Kate, Yeah, people are not happy, especially considering the murkiness
of the timeline. So it is unclear when Kyrie rehomed
her original dog, Socks and when this new puppy arrived.
What we do know is Kyrie confirmed the news of
the rehoming on the twenty fourth of April after being
bombarded with messages from her followers after the dog suddenly
(26:22):
disappeared from her account. Now, so can you refresh people's
memories on the reason why Kyrie rehomed the dog well.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
In the statement, she cited the dog's size as one
of the main reasons that she decided to rehome him.
She also said that the dog's safety was a concern
and cided that they couldn't stop him from climbing over
their fence and getting onto the road. And she finished upriting,
we planned to adopt a much smaller breed that will
fit into our family's lifestyle. I hope that you respect
(26:50):
that as a family, we did what's right for us
and also ensured Socks was safe and love too.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Now, last week we did discuss how there were conspiracy
theories floating away that the family had already adopted a
cocker Spaniel. At the time, super Sleuth had spotted that
Kyrie had started following cocker Spaniel breeders pages, and it
appears those theories were one hundred percent correct because on Tuesday,
Kyrie uploaded an Instagram story promoting eye patches with a
(27:18):
new Cocker Spaniel puppy in the frame. She was self
launching that dog, a little bit like how Sammy Robinson
was soft launching a human she minus the Mexican both adorable.
It sounds like, yeah, it is interesting that she hasn't
hard launched the dog. Do you guys think that she will? Well,
probably not after what she's copped for doing the soft leantun.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I kind of feel for her because she did outline
that they still had the intention of getting another dog.
She does have three kids who are most likely heartbroken
that their other dog has had to be rehome. The
kids didn't make the decision that it was too difficult
for him. The kids wouldn't been doing anything.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, but a lot of people have been saying, why
is this cocker spaniel any different? Well, as someone who
has a cocker Spaniel, they are very difficult as puppies.
Like the first six weeks with my dog Archie, he
was a complete handful. So I wonder if they're like,
oh my god, I didn't realize that it would be
like this. This is why people are upset because the
inference is that this woman has such a perfect life
(28:14):
on Instagram. She shares all about her.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Perfect table settings and her perfect children and a perfect home,
and this Aussie doodle obviously didn't seem to fit into
her life. So there is the concern that, well, when
this puppy starts acting up and starts chewing the couch,
you know.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Is she going to get rid of that. I think
where she's got herself in hot water is this wording
around adopting a new dog. Because when I saw that,
I was like, oh, okay, so she's going to make good.
She's going to go down to the pound and give
a dog that needs a new home, a new lease
on life. It's going to be a very positive story. However,
she's gone out and purchased a new pedigree dog, and
(28:51):
it also plays into this narrative online that she just
cares about image.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, but in her defense, I feel like I'm the
only one defending her that I obviously think that people
should be adopting from pounds where that they can or
animal welfare leagues. However, she has literally said that they've
had to rehome this dog due to the fact that
it was too big and potentially could get out of
their yard. So if you're adopting a dog where you
(29:14):
don't necessarily know what the breed is, you don't know
what the characteristics are. Maybe a dog that has been
abandoned for you know, behavior for getting too no, but
but for behavioral issues, and you've got young kids, sometimes
it can be difficult. Sometimes you want to go a
pure bred dog that you know what the characteristics of
that dog are going to be.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
And a cocker Spaniel is a real family dog. Yeah,
but a cocker Spaniel is not a small little lap dog.
It is still a medium sized dog. And she hasn't
addressed whether she has fixed any of the issues that
she flagged as reasons to rehome Socks. So she said
that a big reason was the dog safety because it
could get out. Because it did they didn't have adequate fencing,
So why is it not suddenly a problem for this dog?
(29:55):
And she also spoke about behavioral issues. But anyone who
has had a puppy will know that you need to
put a lot of time and effort into training that dog.
So has she changed up her schedule to allow for
that time. I have to disagree with you, kay, I
think that a cocker spaniel is a lap dog if
they are the sort of dog that follows you around
the house. They're very chill and calm. Yeah, but that
might be your dog, but that doesn't mean every cocker
(30:16):
spaniel is the same. And I just think she needed
to leave a bit of time in between announcing that
she rehomed one dog to getting another dog. It seems
quite likely that she had this cocker Spaniel when she
put the announcement out, So I just think it is
not a good look for her, and I'm really interested
to see how she navigates this moving forward. Is she
going to hard launch the dog and If she does,
(30:37):
I would like her to address, you know, what she's
changed in her lifestyle to have a new dog. I
love the we're talking about hard launching a dog, but
I think that is.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Where we are going to leave things today. Thank you
so much for joining us for today's episode. We all
hope you have an amazing weekend. This podcast was recorded
on the traditional land of the Ghana people of the
Adelaide Planes.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
We pay respect to elders past and present, and if
you do want to hear more content from us, we
did drop a subscriber episode yesterday where we discussed a
whole bunch of influencer stories that we just didn't have
time to discuss on our regular shows. So if you
aren't an Outspoken Plus subscriber, all the details to subscribe
are in our show notes.
Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
Sophie Torbah and coming up on today's show, Sarah's Days,
insensitive clapback.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
At women struggling with fertility.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Kyrie Harvey's soft launches a new puppy just weeks after
revealing she rehomed her dog, and Olivia Math's desperate.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Plea to find her stolen cat.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
But first, Sammy Robinson has soft launched her new man
during a Mexican muckbunk. Now, this mukbunk took place in
her new Guys car, but Sammy cleverly angled the camera
so it was only her in the shot. We did
get to see his arm and also a very fleeting
shot off the top of his head. We also did
briefly get to hear his voice and see them interact
(00:48):
as a couple, and it is clear that they're pretty
comfortable with each other because they were dressed in matching
gray tracksuit tops and Sammy was literally holing into a
large burrito at one stage she had sore stripping from
her mouth, and they also shared the burrito back and forth.
So this seems like it's been in the works for
quite some time. There is a level of comfort that
(01:09):
you have when it's a boyfriend and not just someone
you're seeing.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's pretty intimate to share a burrito. As much as
I love my husband, I don't think i'd share one
with him.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I think it shows how early on they are in
this relationship, because once you've been going out with someone
for a few years, you're definitely having set for burritos
and you're not sharing. Yeah, you're like, those are my chips,
don't touch them. There's that sort of thing going on. Well.
This video has attracted over eighty one thousand views, with
her fans wanting to know more about the mystery man.
One follower wrote who is this man? Sis, whilst another
(01:39):
said don't hide the man girly, we want to know,
and another said she's a relationship girly, which I have
to agree with. I mean, if you're Sammy Robinson, I'm
sure it's not hard to get into a relationship.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
She's absolutely stunning.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I'm sure there is a line of guys waiting outside
her door wanting to ask her on a date. Soft
launches are really changing since TikTok because preview it was
really a soft launch, it was maybe a guy's arm
on a table in a photo of you at a cafe. However,
this guy is fully in the video.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
He's talking. Yes, you can't actually see his face, but
this is a clear message from Sammy, I am in
a relationship because you're not putting this type of content
out with just anyone. I do love that when someone
soft launches a relationship, how quickly you can turn into
an FBI agent and analyze someone's content to just try
and find anything out about who this person is. I've
(02:30):
probably watched this video a little too closely because I
have ascertained that this guy's name potentially starts with a W.
So in the video, his hands are shown on the
wheel of the car as he goes through the drive through,
and he is wearing a friendship bracelet with the letters
S and W on it. So I am assuming that
(02:51):
this is a very cute couple bracelet, and the S
is for Sammy and potentially the W is for his name.
She clearly likes cute couple of things like that, because
last time she hard launched her relationship, she shared that
they had a special personalized key ring made and it
was a photo of them kissing on it. Yeah, that's
clearly been burned by now.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I mean, I think she'll probably drop a few more
clues like that on her Instagram story. I did go
and search Sammy Robinson's friend list for any guy's name
starting with a W, and I have spired one guy
called Will. I won't be saying his last name because
it could be incorrect, but I have an inkling. I
think the top of his head looks the same as
what we saw.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
In the TikTok and A were assuming that Sammy made
the bracelet for him. Oh, I reckon that would be
very cute.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Acknowledging that nine to nine point nine percent of you,
I'm not these crazy people, these crazy obsessed people that
actually make me feel uncomfortable. I'm like, well, we'll get
a hobby.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Sarah's Day has issued an insensitive clap back at her
followers struggling with fertility. After announcing her third pregnancy last week,
Sarah says she was inundated with messages accusing her of
baiting a fertility battle. In a four minute ran on
her Instagram story, she labeled these women as obsessed and
fixated on her even telling them to get a hobby
(04:06):
that didn't revolve around her. Kate, can you tell us
more well?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Sarah took to her Instagram story on Monday to address
the backlash around her pregnancy announcement, and she said that
she needed to shut it down quickly because it was
annoying and made her feel uncomfortable. She then said this.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
For the past few days, I've received so many DMS emails,
comments like there's two separate people, there's like frustrated people,
and then people who I don't know where this they're
getting this.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Narrative from anyway.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I just replied to a bunch of dms and I'm like,
I'm just gonna nip this in the bud now because
people are like, I'm so triggered that you created content
and vlogs saying you're not pregnant when you were.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The content Sarah is referring to is a vlog that
she uploaded on the eighth of February entitled Live catch Up,
Being Vulnerable Again and Updating You on life Now. It
was the last video in a short YouTube series she
shared about her can journey, and in the vlog, she
explained that she was in her fourth month of trying
to conceive. This is what she said.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
As you know, we have been really casual in trying
to conceive. However, it's our fourth month now trying, which
for some people is nothing like I know people have
tried for years.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Again, I talk about that and reference that in my
previous blog, so just stay with me. But for us,
because we conceived Malkai on the first try, from going
from like first try baby to the fourth month, it's
something we've never experienced before.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Feels nice to like bring you along on this journey
and just feel really open and vulnerable about what we're
going through at the moment.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
So it's fine and like I'm not stressed about it,
but I don't know, like when you decide you want
to have another baby, it's like.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Hard for not to consume your thoughts, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Sarah then went on to say that she knew it
was a sensitive topic and she tried to tread carefully
so she didn't upset anyone or was insensitive. Now. Later
on in the vlog, she discussed how she and her
friends are in their seat of trying to fall pregnant
and are consumed with it. She then said, this.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Don't want this to be a stressful experience for us,
because I have no reason to think like that at
the moment. You know, like, who knows how long it
took us to conceive Fox because he was a love baby,
but Malicha, we got him on the first try. So
I'm like, I don't want to overthink it, like it's
all in God's plan.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I truly believe that.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I've really been praying that God has his hand on
this pregnancy. Anyway, I'm just rambling now and just chatting
to you like I would my sister. Just want to
be more vulnerable with you guys, I guess, and like
really take you along on what I'm going through week
by week.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
So back to Sarah's clapback, she addressed this vlog specifically
and explained that she actually did fall pregnant that cycle.
She said when she filmed the vlog, though, that she
was in the weight period and got her ovulation wrong,
so thought she wouldn't fall pregnant. She then went on
to say, this.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
So we actually end up I got a positive pregnancy
test at like the end of feb or something like
in feb. So this was actually filmed in January. This
flog is filmed at the end of Jan and it
goes up on the eighth of Feb.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Now, the timing has confused many followers, particularly because she
uploaded the vlog as a life update, but then has
come out and said that the content was pre recorded.
Now back to Sarah's Instagram stories. She also addressed allegations
that she claimed she was struggling to get pregnant, saying this.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Lastly, while we're on this topic, i got this random
DM yesterday saying, I'm really disheartened that you claim to
struggle to get pregnant this time. We've never claimed to.
We didn't struggle to get pregnant. We got pregnant on
the fourth try, which we feel so grateful about. The
only time I've ever used the word struggle is in
relation to some close family members and close friends of
(07:43):
mine who are struggling and have struggled to get pregnant.
So I mentioned that in a vlog that I want
to be as open. Well, I wanted to be as
open as I could during our trying to conceive journey,
but while being respectful because now that I am really
close for people who are on that journey, I'm just
so much more sensitive that we are in such a
(08:04):
greatful we're in such a blessed position to be able
to for pregnant naturally.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
But yeah, we've never struggled to for pregnant with this baby,
like it took us four times. But yeah, the only
time I've used the word struggle is in relationship one
of my friends and family who has struggled. Anyway, just
some nipping that in the butt now, because it's like
making me angry. Guys, relax, everybody, just flax now.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I was pretty taken aback by that because Sarah's YouTube
channel back in twenty sixteen and seventeen revolved around her
bid to balance her hormones, her PCOS diagnosis, and trying
to get her period back. So, for those who aren't
familiar with PCOS, it stands for polycystic ovary syndrome and
it's a complex hormonial condition that affects about one in
(08:49):
ten women. And there are a range of symptoms associated
with PCOS, including irregular menstrual cycles, acne, and reduced fertility.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And I think what is most interesting about that is
that Sarah really attracted a large audience by being vulnerable
and sharing about her journey with PCOS, which included giving
a ton of holistic tips to resolve symptoms. And so
she still has that loyal audience of women who were
also struggling with their fertility and have gone on this
(09:18):
journey with her. So that is why there are so
many people up in arms over there.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And at that time, she shared with her audience that
it would be hard for her to conceive and when
the time came to have children, it was likely she
would have to go down the IVF path. So it's
likely a lot of her followers from that time struggled
with the same issues as her. Yeah, I do find
it wild she would make such a claim when her
YouTube channel literally holds all of the receipts. So just
(09:43):
five months ago, during a vlog about her latest conception journey,
she said this, if you've.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Been here since like twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, you may
know that Fox was a love baby. First of all,
I got told by a gynocologist and multiple doctors that
I would probably never fall pregnant naturally, and even IVF
for me wouldn't be a sure thing because I had
polcistic ovarian syndrome. I was pretty affected by that, obviously,
thinking that I would never conceive naturally, maybe never have kids,
(10:09):
like I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And then when Sarah announced her second pregnancy in twenty
twenty one, she said this.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Although I had been pregnant three years earlier, our sun
Fox was a complete surprise, as I had been told
by our doctors that due to my hormonal imbalances and
PCOS that falling pregnant naturally was highly unlikely.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
So with this being the last.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Fertility related news I had been given, I tried not
to get my hopes up too much and just be
prepared that it may take us a while to conceive again.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And even when she announced her most recent pregnancy, she
tried to set this tone that the journey wasn't easy
for her. Let's throw to what she said. I don't
think there's a line, but the fact that I'm filming.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Means that, like every other month.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
I have subconscious hope hoped it down that maybe maybe
this is our month.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
That I get a positive pregnancy test.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
If things couldn't get worse. Sarah then took aim at
the women who were triggered by her content. She labeled
the women as obsessive. Let's throw to what she said.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Also acknowledging that nine to nine point nine percent of
you are not these crazy people, these crazy obsessed people
that actually make me feel uncomfortable. I'm like, well, get
a hobby, get a hobby. Make your hobby, not me.
And anyway, yeah, obviously I know this is not majority
of you. It's like the smallest group of people.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
But we know the smallest voices in the room make
the loudest noise. If my children had anything.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
To go by, the smallest voices in the room make
the loudest noise.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So for some context, this outburst was off the back
of a comment Sarah received on a recent Instagram reil So.
The follower was upset that Sarah said she was struggling
to conceive after three months and said it was tone
deaf to women like her who were actually struggling with fertility.
The woman wrote, and the audacity to put struggling while
already being pregnant. When posting that, the woman went on
(12:10):
to say she was a longtime fan who wo had
watched Sarah's videos from day dot now. Sarah hit back,
saying she never once said they were struggling to conceive
and confirmed they got pregnant. The fourth month of trying.
She went on to explain that she had mixed up
her ovulation day in the vlog, but confirmed she did
end up conceiving that month. Sarah finished up by writing,
(12:30):
please do not spread false information. Not once have I
said we have struggled to conceive this baby. It is
clear the timeline of Sarah's posting has confused a lot
of people. As the follower responded, the videos say they
were posted two months ago, which would be March, and
touched on struggling with TTC, whether that has been emotionally
or physically, and the comment section is full of women
(12:52):
with infertility. So I felt uncomfortable that we all felt
we related to and felt sorry for something that was
actually fine behind the scenes. Perhaps YouTube is displaying the
posting time frame wrong. Happy to send a screenshot of
it if you need it, genuinely not trying to spread misinformation.
Just found it upsetting the way it unfolded with no
trigger warnings, etc. For such a huge topic. Now, Sarah responded, respectfully, Hannah,
(13:16):
if you're clearly as fixated and obsessed with this as
you appear to be, check the date of the vlog
and maybe get a hobby that allows you not to
have the mental time for fixations and false narratives like this.
Not once did I say we struggled. We got pregnant
on our fourth month of trying and are so grateful.
I was open about feeling hopeful certain months after having
pregnancy symptoms, but my tests were negative. It's okay for
(13:39):
me to be disappointed with negative tests. However, not once
did I say we were struggling to conceive because we didn't.
I cannot believe that Sarah would label a woman who
has struggled with fertility as fixated and obsessed. The lack
of empathy is truly disturbing, particularly when Sarah shared so
openly how consuming her own own pregnancy journey was. You
(14:02):
think that she would relate to this woman in a sense.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I really felt for this woman because she outlined to
Sarah that she's been a longtime fan of her, She's
been following her journey for about ten years, and she
was pretty considered in what she wrote to Sarah. I
think she was trying to explain to her why her
community of followers is hurting so much by her announcement.
I'd hate to see what she'd actually write to someone
who is considered a troll.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well, I saw a lot of people alleging that Sarah
has been sending out a lot of very rude dms
and that the tone is even worse than this one
that she publicly left to this woman. Well, this comment
did end up getting deleted. But what really blows my
mind about this whole thing is that instead of taking
the feedback on board from her followers and women who
were struggling with their fertility, she's instead decided to attack
(14:48):
them publicly. Like, I don't understand. Why didn't she acknowledge
these women's feelings and just apologize. It just shows all
her disclaimers that she added in about not wanting to
upset anyone and being sensitive just virtue signaling, because it's
quite clear by her reaction that she doesn't care who
she upsets.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I just don't understand, because if she had jumped on
her Instagram stories and just said I am so sorry
if I offended anyone, that was not my intention at all.
I feel so much for women out there who were struggling.
I have been there in a situation where I thought
I may have difficulty conceiving.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
But I've been so lucky.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I think a lot of people would have been like
fair enough well, particularly because she opened up about the
fact that her sister and also friends were struggling with fertility.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I wonder how they feel after seeing that outburst on Instagram.
She's kind of acting like a stroppy teenager. Like it's
as if she doesn't realize she has a huge following
and a massive brand, and the followers are actually the
people who were giving her this amazing life. Like obviously
she's worked hard to put this content out there, but her.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Followers, who have paid for her courses and have paid
for her clothes, they are allowing her to have this
amazing life, and all she's.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Doing is constantly attacking them and saying, you're obsessed with me.
You put out a vlog every week, you're on your
stories every week. You want people to buy into your life.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But she's also not understanding the parasocial relationship that people
have developed with her over ten years. So for a
follower who, as you said, Amy, feels like they've supported
her and brought into her life, for them to receive
a rude DM or a rude public message would.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Actually be very crushing because they feel like Sarah is
their friend and they're just bringing up with their friend.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Hey, I don't think you've handled this, and.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
She wasn't even rude. That follower was not rude at
all the whole friend thing. Sarah has built this brand
on calling her followers her sissies, and in one of
her vlogs where she spoke about her conception journey recently,
she said, Oh, you know, I just love opening up
on my vlog because I feel like I'm talking to
my sisters. So you can't then hit back at followers
(16:53):
when they feel like they are your sister and complain
when they feel like their sister hasn't treated them properly.
And this whole commentary around get a better hobby rather
than obsessing over me really rubbed me up the wrong way.
It's like, do you realize that people watching your content
as their hobby is paying for your bills. It does
seem to be Sarah's new thing to label people as obsessed,
(17:14):
because we recently discussed how problematic it was for her
to return to the trend of sharing what she eats
in a day, and we posted a TikTok video about it,
and she hid out at us in the comment, saying,
your obsession with commenting and scrutinizing my life is honestly
getting uncomfortable girls. Now, I think this comment proves she
doesn't have a comeback for her behavior. Why doesn't she
(17:35):
ever acknowledge what the video is about? I was like,
you're obsessed with me? Yeah? We did follow up writing, Hi, Sarah,
You're one of many influencers who we discuss on our
pop culture podcast. As one of Australia's biggest YouTubers, the
content you put out to your millions of followers sparks
conversations around the world. Sometimes we agree with you and
sometimes we don't. In this instance, you discussed how your
(17:56):
previous What I Eat in a Day videos reflected a
time in your life when you were practicing disordered eating.
What concerns us is those videos are still up online
for vulnerable people to see and are monetized. While you
might not be in that mindset anymore, your old content
is still being served up to vulnerable women who will
copy what you used to eat in the hope of
obtaining your body. Just wondering if you've thought about taking
(18:17):
those videos down now. Sarah, of course did not respond
to that question.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Her comment had very mean girl vibes, and I would
have respected it more if she came back to us
explaining why she feels a day on the plate still
has a place in society, not just said that we're
obsessed with her and how dare we talk about her
life when she literally puts it out to millions of people.
It would be nice for her to take accountability for once,
And it does concern me that she was clearly filming
this what I Eat in a Day video while she
(18:43):
was pregnant, so no doubt it's going to be what
I Eat in the day as a pregnant woman, which
I think is even more unhelpful. And I think what
added to the grossness of this whole thing is the
fact that she literally timed the promotion of her pregnancy
workout guide with her pregnancy announcement. Think Sarah really needs
to reflect on the fact that she has millions of
(19:03):
followers on Instagram and YouTube, and she should be using
her platform to be empathetic and considerate of women, particularly
those who are struggling with their fertility.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Put a thing you down. If someone stole your cat,
you found out who it was and confronted them. They
denied everything. Have so many inconsistencies in their story and
it's all still ongoing.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Gold COO's influencer Olivia Mathers has issued a desperate plea
to anyone with information about her beloved Bengal cat Hawky,
who was reportedly stolen over a week ago. This story
is so sad, Sophy, can you tell us how it's
all unfolded? This story does have quite a few twists
and turns, and it all started when Olivia received information
from a neighbor that her cat, Hawky, had been dropped
(19:48):
at the pound. So the neighbour's dad had allegedly found
Hawky wandering and decided to drop the pedigree cat at
the pound. Now here's what Olivia said about the exchange
with her neighbor.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
The chick said, I made sure my dad went there.
I watched his location, I watched his location leave this
their house and followed his location to the pound. Because like,
why would you say that? That's so dodgy?
Speaker 6 (20:18):
All right, I reckon they're trying to sell.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
This is getting sass as fuck. So the lady who
said that her dad's dropped Hawky to the pound said
that she was dropped off on Saturday at lunchtime, the
lady that works here at the pound said that no
one dropped off a cat on Saturday. These people who
have taken Hawky three days ago, four days ago are lying.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
As you can hear from that grab. Olivia and her
mum raced down to the pound to be told by
staff that no Bengal cat had been dropped there.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
This led Olivia to confront her neighbor via text. She
explained to her neighbor that the pound had no information
on a Bengal cat, and to confirm what day Hawkey
was dropped there, and also to confirm that she was
at the right pound now. The neighbor replied confirming the details,
but when Olivia asked for her to send through her
dad's contact details, her story suddenly changed. The neighbor wrote, Hi,
(21:18):
I've talked to my father and.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
He didn't tell me.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
But as he went to take the cat out the car,
it escaped and he freaked out and didn't tell me. Now,
this message came through four days after Hawky had allegedly
been dropped at the pound.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It's very suss that the dad would have only just
mentioned this news. Now what what the fuck?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
This pisses me off so much, it's clear something more
is going on. I feel so heartbroken for poor Olivia.
Hawky is such a beautiful cat, and she keeps posting
these really sad videos of her and the cat together. Yeah,
he has been by her side since she moved out
of her family home and into her new place. And
he is a very striking cat. As people know Bengal cats,
(21:59):
they have that sort of tiger print and pure bread.
Bengal cats are in very high demand, so they can
fetch upwards of two thousand dollars. So that is what
makes this disappearance so fishy. I do like that Olivia
is using her very large following to her advantage. So
she has over seven hundred and sixty thousand followers and
a lot of influencer friends, so she's essentially been sharing
(22:22):
this lost cat post that it's gone everywhere. It's been
popping up on all of these influences I follows Instagram stories.
Well it's not just a lost cat post. She says
that this cat has been stolen. So in the post,
it says, my cat has been stolen and we believe
the thieves are.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Trying to sell her.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
She also urged her followers to keep an eye out
on marketplace or just in general. If anyone is trying
to sell this cat online, surely one of.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
The big news stations is going to pick up on this.
This is such a good.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Story if the Daily Mail has so far, and also
the Gold Coast Bulletin, so hopefully it will lead to
some information.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
It did lead to a number of.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Blue ticks reaching out in the comments set so fitness
influencer Ashy Bindes shared that she had gone through something similar.
She wrote, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Will
continue to share my heart breaks for you. Someone stole
my cat years ago and I never got him back,
so I know the feeling and it's gut wrenching.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Sending you strength. When I saw this unfolding online, I
was wondering if this was targeted, because Olivia does share
about her cat openly online and as you've touched on,
it is an expensive cat. However, Olivia has actually pointed
the blame at her neighbors, saying this.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
All right, I'm going to show with you guys as
much as I can about this whole situation without getting
myself in trouble. But I just know it is completely
eft up. There's no doubt in my mind that my
neighbors have stolen my cat, and I washolding information of
her current whereabouts. The two interactions that I had with them,
their stories were so inconsistent. They also kept making mention
(23:51):
of how much she was worth. They're deflecting hard, being defensive.
Apparently the last time they saw her was on the driveway,
yet they don't want to prove this with the camera
that faces their driveway.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Well, as she outlined, the most frustrating thing is that
these neighbors actually have CCTV outside the front of their house,
so they could clearly try and prove their so called
story about discovering this cat and taking him to the pound.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
But obviously they have something to hide. It's so frustrating
because what are you supposed to do in this situation.
I mean, I'd be wanting to call the police, but
there's not really that much they can do.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
This has set me off, like the thought of someone
stealing your pet. It's one of the most distressing things
I can think of.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'd go around and kick the door open. I'll be like, look,
I'm here for Hawky. Well. The sad thing is she's
such a young girl.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
She probably doesn't, you know, feel comfortable getting herself into
a situation like that. I think there's three to four
people living in this house and it's just her living
on her own.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And the thing is the cat might not be there anymore.
They may have already sold her. It's just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
She is currently offering a cash reward for anyone with
verified information about Hawky's disp appearance or for his return.
She's been putting up all of these posters in her
area with the heading stolen, and on the poster she
did actually list her email address and phone number, and
some followers were concerned, thinking, oh my god, so many
people are going to be hitting up Olivia just trying
(25:16):
to talk to her. It is not her real number,
someone else's number putting it out there. But I mean,
even I hope from us talking about it, maybe someone
has information about this cat, because.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I really hope that they get reunited, and hopefully someone
just drops it off in a box on her doorstep,
no questions asked, because the last thing you want is
someone to panic and to do any sort of harm
towards this cat. They just need to return it.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
You gotta pet.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
You got a responsibility.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
If your dog is lost, you don't look for an
hour then call it quits.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
You get your ass out there and you'll find that dog.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Kyrie Harvey has soft launched her new puppy less than
two weeks after confirming the news that she rehomed her
assie doodle Socks. The latest update in the saga upset
a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Kate, Yeah, people are not happy, especially considering the murkiness
of the timeline. So it is unclear when Kyrie rehomed
her original dog, Socks and when this new puppy arrived.
What we do know is Kyrie confirmed the news of
the rehoming on the twenty fourth of April after being
bombarded with messages from her followers after the dog suddenly
(26:22):
disappeared from her account. Now, so can you refresh people's
memories on the reason why Kyrie rehomed the dog well.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
In the statement, she cited the dog's size as one
of the main reasons that she decided to rehome him.
She also said that the dog's safety was a concern
and cided that they couldn't stop him from climbing over
their fence and getting onto the road. And she finished upriting,
we planned to adopt a much smaller breed that will
fit into our family's lifestyle. I hope that you respect
(26:50):
that as a family, we did what's right for us
and also ensured Socks was safe and love too.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Now, last week we did discuss how there were conspiracy
theories floating away that the family had already adopted a
cocker Spaniel. At the time, super Sleuth had spotted that
Kyrie had started following cocker Spaniel breeders pages, and it
appears those theories were one hundred percent correct because on Tuesday,
Kyrie uploaded an Instagram story promoting eye patches with a
(27:18):
new Cocker Spaniel puppy in the frame. She was self
launching that dog, a little bit like how Sammy Robinson
was soft launching a human she minus the Mexican both adorable.
It sounds like, yeah, it is interesting that she hasn't
hard launched the dog. Do you guys think that she will? Well,
probably not after what she's copped for doing the soft leantun.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I kind of feel for her because she did outline
that they still had the intention of getting another dog.
She does have three kids who are most likely heartbroken
that their other dog has had to be rehome. The
kids didn't make the decision that it was too difficult
for him. The kids wouldn't been doing anything.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, but a lot of people have been saying, why
is this cocker spaniel any different? Well, as someone who
has a cocker Spaniel, they are very difficult as puppies.
Like the first six weeks with my dog Archie, he
was a complete handful. So I wonder if they're like,
oh my god, I didn't realize that it would be
like this. This is why people are upset because the
inference is that this woman has such a perfect life
(28:14):
on Instagram. She shares all about her.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Perfect table settings and her perfect children and a perfect home,
and this Aussie doodle obviously didn't seem to fit into
her life. So there is the concern that, well, when
this puppy starts acting up and starts chewing the couch,
you know.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Is she going to get rid of that. I think
where she's got herself in hot water is this wording
around adopting a new dog. Because when I saw that,
I was like, oh, okay, so she's going to make good.
She's going to go down to the pound and give
a dog that needs a new home, a new lease
on life. It's going to be a very positive story. However,
she's gone out and purchased a new pedigree dog, and
(28:51):
it also plays into this narrative online that she just
cares about image.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, but in her defense, I feel like I'm the
only one defending her that I obviously think that people
should be adopting from pounds where that they can or
animal welfare leagues. However, she has literally said that they've
had to rehome this dog due to the fact that
it was too big and potentially could get out of
their yard. So if you're adopting a dog where you
(29:14):
don't necessarily know what the breed is, you don't know
what the characteristics are. Maybe a dog that has been
abandoned for you know, behavior for getting too no, but
but for behavioral issues, and you've got young kids, sometimes
it can be difficult. Sometimes you want to go a
pure bred dog that you know what the characteristics of
that dog are going to be.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
And a cocker Spaniel is a real family dog. Yeah,
but a cocker Spaniel is not a small little lap dog.
It is still a medium sized dog. And she hasn't
addressed whether she has fixed any of the issues that
she flagged as reasons to rehome Socks. So she said
that a big reason was the dog safety because it
could get out. Because it did they didn't have adequate fencing,
So why is it not suddenly a problem for this dog?
(29:55):
And she also spoke about behavioral issues. But anyone who
has had a puppy will know that you need to
put a lot of time and effort into training that dog.
So has she changed up her schedule to allow for
that time. I have to disagree with you, kay, I
think that a cocker spaniel is a lap dog if
they are the sort of dog that follows you around
the house. They're very chill and calm. Yeah, but that
might be your dog, but that doesn't mean every cocker
(30:16):
spaniel is the same. And I just think she needed
to leave a bit of time in between announcing that
she rehomed one dog to getting another dog. It seems
quite likely that she had this cocker Spaniel when she
put the announcement out, So I just think it is
not a good look for her, and I'm really interested
to see how she navigates this moving forward. Is she
going to hard launch the dog and If she does,
(30:37):
I would like her to address, you know, what she's
changed in her lifestyle to have a new dog. I
love the we're talking about hard launching a dog, but
I think that is.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
