Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
hottest influenza and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
Amy Torber and coming up on today's show, a showdown
between content creators at an influencer event goes viral, Adele
Petropolis's iconic clutback at her ex fiance, the new owner
of Ellie Watson's mansion is unveiled, and our influencer dump
(00:24):
the first k. Matt Zakowski is continuing to win us over.
If he's not sharing his family's gorgeous gone retriever on Instagram,
he's sharing about his love for Christmas, which I think
is actually a big green flag. I couldn't help but
smile when I saw Matt's recent photo. So he shared
some photos from his family's annual visit to the Christmas
tree farm. They cut a tree down every year, and
(00:48):
he is wearing the coolest Christmas vest. In the photo,
it says, fuck, I love Christmas. I need one of these. Yeah. Well,
what most impressed me about Matt was the fact that
he has not just one Christmas jumper. He shared a
series of photos on his Instagram stories from different years
and he's donning different Christmas outfits. Yeah, that shows that
he truly does love Christmas. I mean his thirtieth was
also Christmas in July themed, which was a big clue.
(01:11):
It's interesting to look back at the photos because he
looks quite miserable in the twenty twenty four one compared
to this year's photo, and I do have to give
him credit. He's looking quite jacked. He's spoken a lot
on his podcast about going to the gym. Seems like
it's paying off. We're just talking about Christmas, Kate. I
need to issue a PSA, people, can you actually fluff
your Christmas tree? I keep seeing photos of people's trees
(01:34):
popping up on Instagram. I mean these are people I
know as well as influencers, and their trees are not
properly fluffed. They would look a million times better if
they just made the effort to do it. We've actually
had a few requests for us to rate influencers trees,
and it's funny because I already do that privately with
you guys. I did go to town a little bit
on Steph Claire Smith's tree. Maybe we'll save that full
(01:55):
analysis for another a dedicated segment. But I just don't
get it. I'm like, remember when Ashy Binns had that
terrible toilet brush tree that looks so cheap? I meing
you people have money, like, how have you not got
a Barsom Hill tree or a real tree? Is this
a new class thing where people with money actually have
very average looking trees? But the decorations are crap as well.
And what I don't get is why are there so
(02:17):
few of them on the tree? Like, I mean, my
partner pays me out he says that I have too
many on the tree, But I think when it comes
to Christmas is never enough. Do you know who's doing
it right is Michael Finch. He put up a video
of him decorating his Christmas tree. It looked amazing and also,
unsurprisingly Molly May. She has two Christmas trees in her house,
one in her living room which is absolutely beautiful. It's
covered in burgundy bows as well as ball balls, and
(02:39):
she's also got one in her bedroom which is gold themed.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But I mean I give more props to Michael Finch
because he clearly decorated his himself, whereas Molly May's just
got someone in to do it. I mean, no shade
at least hers looks good. I think the influencers that
have money should be doing that. If they can't decorate
a tree nicely themselves, bring someone into help. Which Arde
Twinci made a really good point. She said that Australia
just doesn't celebrate forres Sstmas as well as other parts
of the world, and I tend to agree. I keep
(03:03):
seeing all of these Christmas flogs in the UK, and
they have the most beautiful Christmas decorations in all of
their shopping centers. I mean in Adelaide, we had a
couple of dead Christmas trees up in Rundel Mall and
that was apparently the decorations. We've already touched on it
in the show. But the Meyer and David Jones decorations
are very disappointing. They drag out, Yeah, they drag out
the same crappy trees every year. We need to do better.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Well.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
The only positive thing is McDonald's has finally got on board.
So in the UK they used to do all of
these special Christmas meals, they're finally doing one in Australia,
the Grinch meal. I saw that and I was taken
about how expensive it was. But you get a grinch
snow globe with it. I want to taste test it.
Maybe we should do that for TikTok. You guys.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
So, I'm at an event and Cindy is here, right,
and she made she made these like Ruy.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Sweetheror before I sat a showdown between two content creators
and an influencer event has captivated TikTok. The confrontation, which
has been compared to the Real Housewife's Brawl, was captured
by one of the women at the center of it.
Now I'm very excited to unpack this drama with you, Kate.
Can you give us up to speed with who the
main players are? Okay, So, firstly you've got El Saligaris,
(04:11):
who is a twenty nine year old Sydney Sider better
known by her handle Eastern Suburbs Mum. So she has
fifty six thousand followers on TikTok and fourteen thousand on Instagram. Ironically,
Elle does these parodies of rich Eastern Suburbs mums while
being one herself, so alongside her comedy content, she also
shares her very affluent lifestyle. She also has a podcast
(04:33):
where she shares behind the scenes stories from her life,
as well as interviews with other public figures. Then you've
got Cindy Killen, who is better known by her handle
regarding Cindy. She is a twenty nine year old Canadian
living in Sydney with sixty four thousand TikTok followers and
forty nine and a half thousand Instagram followers, and she
posts fashion content on TikTok and has her own brand
(04:54):
called Resort and Rich. In terms of how these women met,
they met at a word events several years ago through
a mutual friend and fellow influencer, Isabella Gray. They clicked
immediately and became friends, and as they are both content creators,
they also worked alongside each other making content. Elle actually
interviewed Cindy on her podcast last year and referred to
(05:17):
her as the biggest girl's girl. Now that all changed
this time last year when the women had a huge
bust up at a girl's night out. So apparently it
all started when Cindy suggested their next dinner catchup should
be at a restaurant. Elle was allegedly sexually assaulted at
so Elle had previously confided in her friends about this
incident involving the owner of a restaurant and the friends
(05:39):
had all vowed that they were going to boycott it. Now,
Elle addressed the incident on her podcast, and while she
didn't name Cindy, she said she literally just starts saying,
I'm still going to go there. It was so outrageous.
Now this appeared to be the final straw to break
the friendship. Yeah, and following the incident, Elle unfollowed Cindy
from social media. In addition to a resting the story
(06:00):
on her podcast, she also shared a story time about
it on TikTok, again not referencing Cindy by name. However,
when people noticed the pair weren't following each other anymore
on social media, they put two and two together. Now,
this feud ended up being the talk of the town,
and it was very unique in the fact that it
captured the attention not only of those who were always online,
(06:22):
but also the Sydney socialite scene. Now, despite this feud
being the talk of the town, somehow both influencers ended
up getting invited to a beverage company's influencer event this week,
So a showdown was really inevitable and it did not disappoint. Now,
I personally think that El has earned herself next years
TikTok Creator of the Year Award by filming her point
of view of the argument. Now to give it justice,
(06:44):
I think we need to throw to a clip.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You guys, So I'm at an event and Cindy is here, right,
and she made she made these like sweethearror.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Before, Babe, send a fucking seasoned desist.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Now would be grateful as season desist for why don't
you tell everyone what FPM means?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You want to tell everyone what f PM means? Tell
everyone what FPM means.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
They maybe tell everyone what FPM is and going back
to working the streets, said, go back to working.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
The streets because you clearly fucking need to.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It is not funny to make fun of someone for
getting sexually assaulted and then pull this shit at an
influencer event. Are you kidding? And have your boyfriend, your
five seven boyfriend yell at me like for what for?
What are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I do want to point out that L's allegations against
Cindy are unsubstantiated. Cindy has denied that she has worked
as a sex work. I think it's very important that
we make that clear in terms of the acronym FPM
for anyone that was desperate like me to know what
it means. Elle has confirmed it was a nickname Cindy
gave to a mutual friend, so it means fat pig
(08:01):
mel Isn't that disgusting? Wow? I've seen a lot of
people online saying that these women should go on The
Real Housewives of Sydney, and with these vile comments, they
could actually feel quite well. It was so reminiscent of
a scene from that show. I mean it was even
juicier because obviously it's not being overproduced and it's clear
that there is real tension between these women. The funniest
(08:23):
thing is Elle wasn't the only influencer to share vision
from the fight. So Victoria Camp shared hilarious footage of
her trying to pose for content while the dispute broke
out behind her, and she captured the video point of view.
You're taking videos at an influencer event and you get
a front row seat on the TikTok drama to give
this clip justice, Let's take a listen.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
She yeah, Hey, yeah, that's fuck.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You want to you can't take it?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You want to fuck around?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
This video has gone absolutely viral at the time of recording,
it's had one point five million views. It just reminded
me of when you get a friend to film you
or pretend to take a photo because you want to
capture someone in the background or something happening. But I
think it was actually genuine, and I give it to Victoria.
She still works the camera like the angles that she
was giving and the poses that she was doing first class.
(09:25):
I mean, if it was me, I would have been
like stop, I need to watch what's going on because
it would be the best people watching. I would love
to know what was going on at the event in
terms of were the marketing managers scrambling like you know,
was anyone getting involved and breaking them apart because it
got really nasty. I just want to know, did this
beverage company purposely invite Cindy and l knowing about the
(09:48):
feud and thinking, Okay, this could get out of hand.
It will get us a lot of attention because these days,
in terms of the influencer world, we're at a point
where all publicity is good public. I mean we are
in the year of influencer best friends busting up and
sharing all the dirty details online. We've spoken a lot
about how that's how influencers remain relevant and in the zeitgey,
(10:12):
so maybe this beverage company was like, ooh, invite them.
I don't think they thought that they would go this
nuts though, because l shared in the comment section of
a TikTok about the incident that the brand was in
damage control now and asking influencers to remove content from
the fight. I don't think they had any idea of
the feud between these girls. I think there must just
(10:32):
be a huge list of Sydney influencers then they went, yeah,
just invite them because it was just terrible research on
their behalf. Yeah, because no one would want this happening
at their event, Like, yes, maybe a back and forth,
but this was a full on disgusting fight. It really
did take the tone of the event down, particularly because
it looked like it was kind of trying to be
quite a fancy, upmarket event, or from having worked at
(10:53):
some of those events in the past, they can be
super awkward already. I mean adding that kind of fight
would that have made it better because people actually had
something to talk about to it. It would galvanized them together, like,
oh there's something we can actually talk about now. What
I love is the drama didn't stop there, so after
holding onto receipts for almost a year, Elle unleashed following
the event. So it turns out she had the perfect
(11:16):
ammunition against her former friend. You see, upon realizing Lle
had unfollowed her late last year, Cindy took to her
Instagram story and posted a rant on her close friends
about her former friend. Unbeknown to Cindy, though a mutual
influencer friend that the women have in common screen recorded
it and sent it to Elle. Elle has later confirmed
(11:38):
that friend was Isabella Gray, the woman who introduced them. Now,
the clip was actually obtained by The Daily Mail, who
ran a subscriber only article about it back in January. However,
this week, Elle posted the screen recording to her TikTok
and it was explosive. So in the vision, Cindy shared
her side of the story, claiming Elle had blan the
(12:00):
matter out of proportion, and she agreed that the initial
argument at the Girl's Night was sparked after she said
that she would still attend the restaurant in question fully
knowing her friend had been sexually assaulted there. She called
Elle a nut and said that she had lost the plot.
She also went on to allege that l was starting
online drama because she is so keen for content for
her podcast. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
She's trying to create bit of drama online and obviously
something for a podcast because she has nothing relevant in
her life, anything going on. She's miserable in her marriage,
her kids are driving her not she doesn't have a nanny,
so she's taking it out on me and so that
she has some sort of internet drama with people and
basically commenting back on Reddit posts like you're just like
one of them, You're just like FPM, like you're just
(12:44):
a typical trawl.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Are the Real Housewives of Sydney producers listening to this
like this is already a storyline? Guys, I really hope. So,
I mean, come on, give us something good because the
last series was a little bit disappointing. It really needed
Athena X. That's what was missing in this series. They
changed the cast. Now. In this rant, Cindy went on
to say that the restaurant rowt wasn't that dramatic and
(13:06):
then said this, you're not going to tell.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
A grown ass woman where she can and cannot go,
Like I would never ask that of my friends. It's
like me telling her you can't go to tanuki every
Friday because Jason goes there. Like, these girls are fucking
delusional and they love to show drama, and it's a
big fucking awakening, and this is why the circle is
very small these days.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's interesting that she referenced so I keep my circle small.
Yet it was one of the people on her close
friends that sent this story onto L. How awkward. Yeah,
I mean, this whole thing was really difficult to watch,
but the worst of it came towards the end when
Cindy downplayed L's sexual assault claim. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
If you have a problem with something, call me. We're
not going to agree on everything else. Just because you
were sexual assaulted doesn't mean anything, you know, Like I
wasn't making front of the sexual assault even though it
wasn't really a sexual assault that I tried to kiss
you and you're and then you're lodging it six months later.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Aside from all of this sort of petty drama, I
do want to focus on Cindy's comments regarding L's sexual
assault allegations because it's very disturbing and I think a
part of the reason why a lot of women are
afraid to report sexual assault. Also, in New South Wales
there is no statute of limitations on reporting sexual assaults,
so they can be prosecuted years or even decades after
(14:21):
they occurred, so there's no issue with her reporting it
six months later. Like it's ridicularly, I mean, people should
believe women when they say something has happened. Oh definitely.
It's also rather awkward because a big part of Cindy's
brand online has been all about supporting women. I mean
we heard l say that she's a girl's girl. This
is not a girl's girl. No, I don't know, Like
if you're if you're saying you're a girl's girl, and
(14:42):
you're putting this type of content out online, like you
need some damage control. Like is it kind of like
those people that say, oh, be nice on the Instagram
profiles and they're like the biggest trolls, Like we have
to look out for people that say there's girls girls.
It's like mother of three, be kind. What they don't
get is why would you ever post this online, particularly
if you have a following, Like this is so damaging.
(15:05):
I mean I get it that you posted it to
your close friends. But this sort of stuff always seems
to get leaked. Don't even get like, why would you
post it to your close friends? Like, why don't you
just ring up one of your friends and have a
private conversation where you can have a bit of a
rant about it. I want to know how many people
are on the close friends list as well. I mean,
I mean with my close friends list, I generally just
add everyone I sort of know personally. It's like that
(15:27):
UK soccer wag that caught out her friend who was
selling stories about her to the media by changing her
close friends list to only be that particular person that
is so clever. Wouldn't that be hilarious to set someone
up like that? And you're like gotcha now. Cindy is
yet to comment further on the matter, but Elle has
continued to stir the pot and people are loving it.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
She shared a text message exchange between her and Cindy
from back in September twenty twenty four, as well as
a video of her enjoying the sunshine with the caption
me after my therapist and I decide the other person
is the problem. She's also been teasing that she will
be posting a story time unpacking the whole thing, and
I'm waiting with baited breath. Let's get into our Friday
(16:11):
influencer dump and to kick things off, Sunrise reporter Katie
Brown has been slammed online after weighing into the TikTok
Awards racism row. So on Tuesday show, we discussed how
a number of black creators had spoken out about the
racism they experienced at the TikTok Awards, which included a
photographer barring black creators from entering the red carpet. Now,
(16:32):
this week, the Sunrise Roving reporter weighed in in an
attempt to provide the perspective of a journalist working the
red carpet. In the video shared to TikTok, Katie attempted
to defend the media by saying it wasn't up to
the journalists on the red carpet who they interviewed, but
actually a network decision. She went on to explain that
when journalists are sent to red carpet events like the
(16:52):
TikTok Awards, they are provided with a list of attendees
to interview by the bosses. Ah, so it's the network
that's racist, not the journalist. The war it Okay, thank you.
So it's the media as a whole. It's a systemic
problem that we're dealing with. I mean, why would you
ever defend this? I know, I mean unsurprisingly, this hot
take went down like a lead balloon, and the video
has since been deleted. Of course, people managed to screen
(17:14):
record it before that happened and have been stitching it up. Yeah,
a lot of people were saying that the way Katie
spoke was really condescending. What did you think of it?
I mean, it just baffles me that someone who works
in the media, that is media savvy would think it
would be a good idea to come out and defend
the racism that we all saw for ourselves on the
TikTok red carpet. I mean, Nayelle literally has recorded receipts
(17:38):
of the disgusting way that she was treated. How could
you defend that? Yeah, and I think the optics of
a white blonde woman telling black creators how they should
perceive their treatment on a red carpet isn't a great look.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Well, it just makes no sense because it's like, well,
clearly it was a racist decision, because saying oh, the
racist decision wasn't made by the reporters. It was made
by the network, Like, how is that any better? It's
actually worse. So it's just the networks who don't give
a fuck about black creators. US beauty influencer James Charles
has ruffled feathers after a trip to Buddings. James is
currently in Australia promoting his makeup brand Painted and decided
(18:09):
to film a TikTok taste test trying out the sausage
sizzle after being encouraged by friends and fans. This video
actually popped up in my FORU page and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. My favorite bit would have to be when
James Charles tried to donate extra money to the charity
and the volunteer didn't want to accept it. Let's have
a listen.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
For Harry, right, yeah, can you rather thro one hundred
for you? I'm not going I can't do that. What
ram it supporting?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
So you four hundred?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Thank no, it's not cranky time, how course, Thank you
Harry very much.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Thank you for hearing that. Now.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
James ended up ordering six sausages and when it came
to choosing his toppings. This is where Ozzie and Us
relations started to fracture because he said he would like tomato,
sauce and mustard, because at the end of the day,
it really is just a hot dog. It's not a sausage.
It didn't go down well online, so people actually calling
for James to be deported over insulting the Butting sausage.
(19:11):
I mean, obviously it's a bit of fun, but it
has outraged Ossies and we are correct. The Bunning sausage
is not a hot dog because one a hot dog
is boiled while a sausage is cooked on the barbecue. Yeah,
there's a bit of flavor, a bit more flavor to
the sausage. I mean this is coming from a vegetarian,
but I have had a sausage sizzle. In the part,
he gave them a ten out of ten though, so
he didn't insult Ozzies too much, and it actually made
(19:32):
me crave a Bunning sausage because they sell some vegetarian
ones that some of the depots. I've always wondered because yeah,
you feel like you're really missing out when you're a
vegio and you can't get around the Bunny sausage sizzle.
Sophie Jane Miller has been left stunned after spotting Justin
and Hailey Bieber in a fish market in Japan. Sophie
and her husband Sam are currently honeing mooning in Japan,
(19:54):
and we're logging in the fish market when Justin and
Hailey Bieber casually walked past them. Let's have a to
their reaction. Oh my god, Look, can you see.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
How many people have noticed.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I don't believe you even noticed that.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I was likely looking at it and I was like,
that's Habber. And then I looked and I was like,
that's Justin Bieber. Hats off to Sophie and Sam for
initially playing it cool. They did secretly film them later.
I mean I say secretly, but I think every celebrity
has enough awareness to know that everyone is pulling out
their phones and recording them. Well, so you could tell
that Sophie didn't want to do it, so her husband's like, look,
(20:29):
just pretend you're logging and walk past the restaurant, because
Hailey and Justin were lining up out the front, and
this restaurant had apparently already closed for the day, but
they were reopening it just so they could come inside.
As you would. Of course, they would Yeah. I can
see why you would want to film it though, because
it's almost like you wouldn't believe your own ohyes, particularly
when you're overseas, like it would be so like maybe
(20:50):
if you're in America and that's where they're from, but
it would be so strange to see these celebrities in
the setting that you were completely not expecting to see
them in. See. If I was them, I would have
gone right up to them. I would have acknowledged their
celebrity but tried to have a normal conversation with them,
and if they didn't engage her then probably would have
just resorted to filming them from afar. I would not
have the balls, particularly how I've seen Justin Bieber react,
(21:11):
oh that's a good pose, Well there was. I would
be like, no way. Well, I actually saw a video
of someone else who was at the fish Market and
they completely filmed, like they had their camera out. They
got such a good shot of Justin and Hailey going
through the market, so obviously other people were just blatantly filming.
Of course they were. Everyone was filming. Every person that
they walked past would have had their camera on. That's
where you need those what are those these meta glasses
(21:32):
which have video cameras in them. And to finish off
today's influencer dump, I have to share with you a
very candid confession from Molly May which she made in
her December first video. It was to the point where
I actually had to rewind to make sure this is
what she actually said. Let's have a listen.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
You know when you're at school and you're sat on
a chair and when you used to wear tights, your
bomb would get ready itchy. I've got that same exact
sensation right now. My bum is so chy. I don't
know if it's because I'm cold and I've just sat
on heat to see or what.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
But look, I'm all for influencers being raw and honest,
but I think this probably should have been cut out.
Like I can already imagine what the UK tabloids are
running with as a headline for this, well, something to
that effect. I loved her. I think this is why
people follow her. We've said it time and time again.
She shows this glamorous side of her life and then
(22:21):
next minute she's talking about her itchy bum. I love
that Vlogmas is back. I'm not delusional enough to think
that the likes of Molly May are going to do
it every day. I saw Sophie Jane Miller is actually
vlogging or trying to do vloglis. Yeah, hats off. That
is a lot of work. It is, especially because she's
on holiday, like she's on her honeymoon and having to
churn these out, I mean a lot of and also
because she edits her own videos. I know when Sath
(22:42):
from Barker did it last year, she had a friend
who was editing them. You're saying honeymoon, but it seems
to be a brand troop with jet Star. She actually
already had a honeymoon, well honeymoon slash brand troop whatever. Okay,
so you know she probably has to create content. She
probably gone to them. Look if you say me to Japan,
I'll do vlogmas from there and we'll do a daily vok.
The Devil works hard, but Lang works harder.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
As if twenty twenty five couldn't get any worse, Grease
is facing a shortage of Feta diity oh oh fuck.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Over the weekend, Adele Petropolis confirmed the real reason behind
her shop decision to cancel her wedding just three months
out from the big day. On the evening of what
would have been her wedding date, the popular TikTok Is
celebrated with a girl's night out and an iconic cake.
Now Adele made sure this cake was front and center
of the content she shared from the night, and with
(23:35):
good reason. So the cake had written across it in
icing cheaters don't get cake. So Adele posted a video
of her taking a bite from the cake, and she
captured the post, canceled the wedding, kept the party. Thank
God for my girls. I love this because she said
so much without actually having to say anything at all. Yeah,
(23:57):
it's not like she's had to go on TikTok and
give all the gory details. We know who the problem
was well back in September, when Adele announced the breakup,
she said she wouldn't be going into the details because
she didn't want to get bad karma. But she did
reveal that something happened that didn't align with her principal.
So a lot of people came to the conclusion it
must have been cheating, and there were quite a lot
(24:18):
of signs that pointed to it. So there was a
general consensus that it must have been cheating, and there
were quite a lot of signs that pointed to it.
One of the major signs was the fact that Adele
and her fiance Anthony were actually overseas in Europe traveling together,
and she literally fled Europe and announced the news when
she got home. There was also that boys trip for
(24:39):
a Bucks party to Las Vegas that Anthony went on
and at the time, Adele said that he was in
the doghouse because he messaged her the day before he
was coming home to tell her that he had bought
her a gift, and at the time, she said, the
bougie of the gift, the worse he had done. And
she actually unboxed the gift on her TikTok and it
was a designer hand, so she knew something bad had happened.
(25:02):
I think it's a dumple ball offence to even say
that you want to have your Bucks in Las Vegas, Like,
does anything good come out of that? Well? I think
it was actually a friend's Bucks in Las Vegas. But
I mean, I mean, that's even worse. Got to go
for my moat. I mean. There was also that Blue
Eyed Kayla Jade video. So for those not familiar with Kayla,
she is a popular TikToker, who shares her life as
a sex worker, and she shared a video two days
(25:24):
before Adele made her announcement saying a guy called Anthony
message her saying he's currently in Europe for his bucks
and would show her around if she's interested. Yeah, the
optics aren't great for Anthony, are they. I wonder now
that she's shared this cake if she will go into
further details on TikTok, especially because the reaction from her
followers has been so positive and everyone's been saying we
(25:45):
want to know more. Yeah. I feel like this could
be the tip of the iceberg and I can't wait
to hear more. But that is so bad. That does
not look anything like me. Isabelle Maths is the new
owner of Ellie Watson's much loved Gold Coast Hintland mansion.
The estate was so popular it became the nation's most
weird property heading into its auction, according to real estate
(26:07):
dot com dot au. I can see why so. The
popular lifestyle influencer purchased the property back in twenty twenty
one and documented the extensive renovations, and Ellie's audience were
very quick to fall in love with the aesthetically pleasing home,
and they were shocked when she put it up for auction.
You know, a home is fancy when it has a name.
So it's called the Valet Cassa. I love it. Does
(26:30):
your home have a name? Maybe it doesn't officially have
a name, but we've got an old bungalow so we
were actually tempted to have a little sign made with
a name. But we spoke about that three years ago.
Nothing's been done. I love the idea because our grandparents'
house was called swinder Be. It was the place that
they met and I was like, oh, rece, we should
do the same thing. But then I'm like, Titanium Security
arena doesn't have quite the same ring that's where we
(26:50):
met at work. Maybe in cursive it might look nice though,
might fit the vibe, I don't think so. Maybe Titanium
could pay naming rights. I don't know. I don't think
they'd want to. Now. Just back to Ellie's house and
despite the huge interest in the property, it actually got
passed in at auction, so post option negotiations saw Isabelle
and her partner Harry become the new owners. Now it's
(27:10):
unclear how much they actually paid for the property, but
it did get passed in with a top bit of
five point nine million dollars, so we can all use
our imaginations. Was pretty interesting because Isabelle and Ellie both
requested that the price remained confidential because they didn't want
to be flashy. I remember when we bought our house.
I didn't even realize that was an option, and I'd
send everyone in the link and then it just popped
(27:32):
up how much we paid it? Of this awkward thing? Well,
I mean, you weren't paying six million dollars for a house,
you know, not, sadly not. But it was pat at
a time when it was like the peak of house prices,
and it felt like a disgusting amount to pay for what. Well,
this is probably going to make you feel sick. Amy,
guess what the Watson's paid for the house back in
twenty twenty. Mind you, they did extensive renovations on it.
(27:52):
Look I'd hate to think I'm guessing like what like
a million dollars or something. They paid one point four
eight million. I wonder if Wheatley and Lucky war are
looking on, thinking, God, if we can just stop arguing
and finish his house renovations, we can make a lot
of money off it. What kind of makes sense that
it's an influencer that's purchased it. Maybe they're the only
people with that much cash and that desire to have
(28:13):
such an aesthetically pleasing home. I didn't realize she was
so rich. I mean, yeah, she's an influencer. But again,
I think the pay packets of influencers have kind of
gone down over the last couple of years. Considering how
saturated the market is. I'm guessing she gets paid a
lot as an international model. She also is the creative
partner at Rachel Dillon's active where company CSB. But again,
(28:35):
it's like, really, are you making that much money? Yeah,
because normally, if you're an influencer or model and you
have that much money, you have a business connected, like
for example, Steph Clare Smith and Laura Henshaw with Kick.
That's when they make the majority of their money. Yeah.
So I was like, oh, you know, Isabel Mathis doesn't
have her own business, so I didn't think she would
have that much of an income, but she clearly does
in terms of a property portfolio. She also owns a
(28:58):
beachfront apartment that she purchased for two point three million dollars,
which she has retained. It's going to be really weird
for Ellie Watson to see her old home appearing in
Isabelle Math's content. Now, I wonder if there's an element
of it being quite nice. Maybe you can sort of
check in.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
You can never have enough hats, gloves and shoes.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Let's get into our Friday debrief, and a quick one's
a good one. I am going to recommend Christmas tree
hooks for your decorations. Random sounds silly, but what you
need to do is cut off all of those ugly
strings from your ball bulls and get these Christmas tree hooks.
You get them from Target Big w They're like two
dollars a packet and they make your Christmas tree look
(29:36):
so much better. We actually went to our parents' house
yesterday to put up their Christmas tree, and Sophie's like,
are you sure that we should be cutting these strings off?
She was so impressed that when she got home she's like,
maybe I should redo my whole three and her tree
looks incredible. Has that she double wraps the string around
the branch or something, but you can still see it.
That's the thing, like the great thing with these hooks
(29:59):
is they blend in into the greenery and you can
actually maneuver the ornament, you know, the way you want it.
It looks so good. Our best friend was saying that
she wants us to bring back the Christmas tree competition,
like who has the best one between us? I'm keen
for that.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I'm a little bit nervous though, because if we do
a segment where we're rating influences trees, I think people
might go ham on our own trees. But I'm pretty
confident that. Yeah, I'm pretty confident. The thing is ours
are quite similar because we have the same balsam hill
tree and the same sort of colour theme. So like
ours are both read and gold. We're going to leave
it up to we have to leave it up to
the audience. Let us know if you want to bring
(30:33):
that back. I know I've just kind of ruined what
I am about to suggest, But maybe we don't say
whose tree is who? I love all this Christmas tree
advice we're giving fluff your tree, use ornament hooks. Well,
I've got a recommendation for everyone. And it's a book
by Jennifer Saunders, and I think it was released back
in twenty fifteen, but I've just listened to it on
Audible and it is so funny. I just have a
(30:55):
thing where I need to listen to the author's narrating, like,
for example, for Prince Harry's book, I listened to him.
There's something that just makes the book so much better.
And it's got me now watching old episodes of ab
fab and I have forgotten how hilarious I are. Okay,
you need to watch it. You've been quoting ab fab
like it's going out of fashion. It happens probably once
(31:16):
every two years. No, I haven't seen it. I probably
haven't watched it for like seven years properly, and I'm
finding myself laughing out loud legitimately. Well, that is where
we're going to leave things today. If you do enjoy
the podcast, we really appreciate it. If you could leave
us a review, and if you want to hear more
from us, we drop a subscriber only episode every Thursday.
All the details on how to sign up are in
(31:37):
our show notes. This podcast was recorded on the traditional
land of the Ghana people of the Adelaide Planes. We
pay respect to Elder's past and present
Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
hottest influenza and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
Amy Torber and coming up on today's show, a showdown
between content creators at an influencer event goes viral, Adele
Petropolis's iconic clutback at her ex fiance, the new owner
of Ellie Watson's mansion is unveiled, and our influencer dump
(00:24):
the first k. Matt Zakowski is continuing to win us over.
If he's not sharing his family's gorgeous gone retriever on Instagram,
he's sharing about his love for Christmas, which I think
is actually a big green flag. I couldn't help but
smile when I saw Matt's recent photo. So he shared
some photos from his family's annual visit to the Christmas
tree farm. They cut a tree down every year, and
(00:48):
he is wearing the coolest Christmas vest. In the photo,
it says, fuck, I love Christmas. I need one of these. Yeah. Well,
what most impressed me about Matt was the fact that
he has not just one Christmas jumper. He shared a
series of photos on his Instagram stories from different years
and he's donning different Christmas outfits. Yeah, that shows that
he truly does love Christmas. I mean his thirtieth was
also Christmas in July themed, which was a big clue.
(01:11):
It's interesting to look back at the photos because he
looks quite miserable in the twenty twenty four one compared
to this year's photo, and I do have to give
him credit. He's looking quite jacked. He's spoken a lot
on his podcast about going to the gym. Seems like
it's paying off. We're just talking about Christmas, Kate. I
need to issue a PSA, people, can you actually fluff
your Christmas tree? I keep seeing photos of people's trees
(01:34):
popping up on Instagram. I mean these are people I
know as well as influencers, and their trees are not
properly fluffed. They would look a million times better if
they just made the effort to do it. We've actually
had a few requests for us to rate influencers trees,
and it's funny because I already do that privately with
you guys. I did go to town a little bit
on Steph Claire Smith's tree. Maybe we'll save that full
(01:55):
analysis for another a dedicated segment. But I just don't
get it. I'm like, remember when Ashy Binns had that
terrible toilet brush tree that looks so cheap? I meing
you people have money, like, how have you not got
a Barsom Hill tree or a real tree? Is this
a new class thing where people with money actually have
very average looking trees? But the decorations are crap as well.
And what I don't get is why are there so
(02:17):
few of them on the tree? Like, I mean, my
partner pays me out he says that I have too
many on the tree, But I think when it comes
to Christmas is never enough. Do you know who's doing
it right is Michael Finch. He put up a video
of him decorating his Christmas tree. It looked amazing and also,
unsurprisingly Molly May. She has two Christmas trees in her house,
one in her living room which is absolutely beautiful. It's
covered in burgundy bows as well as ball balls, and
(02:39):
she's also got one in her bedroom which is gold themed.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But I mean I give more props to Michael Finch
because he clearly decorated his himself, whereas Molly May's just
got someone in to do it. I mean, no shade
at least hers looks good. I think the influencers that
have money should be doing that. If they can't decorate
a tree nicely themselves, bring someone into help. Which Arde
Twinci made a really good point. She said that Australia
just doesn't celebrate forres Sstmas as well as other parts
of the world, and I tend to agree. I keep
(03:03):
seeing all of these Christmas flogs in the UK, and
they have the most beautiful Christmas decorations in all of
their shopping centers. I mean in Adelaide, we had a
couple of dead Christmas trees up in Rundel Mall and
that was apparently the decorations. We've already touched on it
in the show. But the Meyer and David Jones decorations
are very disappointing. They drag out, Yeah, they drag out
the same crappy trees every year. We need to do better.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Well.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
The only positive thing is McDonald's has finally got on board.
So in the UK they used to do all of
these special Christmas meals, they're finally doing one in Australia,
the Grinch meal. I saw that and I was taken
about how expensive it was. But you get a grinch
snow globe with it. I want to taste test it.
Maybe we should do that for TikTok. You guys.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
So, I'm at an event and Cindy is here, right,
and she made she made these like Ruy.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Sweetheror before I sat a showdown between two content creators
and an influencer event has captivated TikTok. The confrontation, which
has been compared to the Real Housewife's Brawl, was captured
by one of the women at the center of it.
Now I'm very excited to unpack this drama with you, Kate.
Can you give us up to speed with who the
main players are? Okay, So, firstly you've got El Saligaris,
(04:11):
who is a twenty nine year old Sydney Sider better
known by her handle Eastern Suburbs Mum. So she has
fifty six thousand followers on TikTok and fourteen thousand on Instagram. Ironically,
Elle does these parodies of rich Eastern Suburbs mums while
being one herself, so alongside her comedy content, she also
shares her very affluent lifestyle. She also has a podcast
(04:33):
where she shares behind the scenes stories from her life,
as well as interviews with other public figures. Then you've
got Cindy Killen, who is better known by her handle
regarding Cindy. She is a twenty nine year old Canadian
living in Sydney with sixty four thousand TikTok followers and
forty nine and a half thousand Instagram followers, and she
posts fashion content on TikTok and has her own brand
(04:54):
called Resort and Rich. In terms of how these women met,
they met at a word events several years ago through
a mutual friend and fellow influencer, Isabella Gray. They clicked
immediately and became friends, and as they are both content creators,
they also worked alongside each other making content. Elle actually
interviewed Cindy on her podcast last year and referred to
(05:17):
her as the biggest girl's girl. Now that all changed
this time last year when the women had a huge
bust up at a girl's night out. So apparently it
all started when Cindy suggested their next dinner catchup should
be at a restaurant. Elle was allegedly sexually assaulted at
so Elle had previously confided in her friends about this
incident involving the owner of a restaurant and the friends
(05:39):
had all vowed that they were going to boycott it. Now,
Elle addressed the incident on her podcast, and while she
didn't name Cindy, she said she literally just starts saying,
I'm still going to go there. It was so outrageous.
Now this appeared to be the final straw to break
the friendship. Yeah, and following the incident, Elle unfollowed Cindy
from social media. In addition to a resting the story
(06:00):
on her podcast, she also shared a story time about
it on TikTok, again not referencing Cindy by name. However,
when people noticed the pair weren't following each other anymore
on social media, they put two and two together. Now,
this feud ended up being the talk of the town,
and it was very unique in the fact that it
captured the attention not only of those who were always online,
(06:22):
but also the Sydney socialite scene. Now, despite this feud
being the talk of the town, somehow both influencers ended
up getting invited to a beverage company's influencer event this week,
So a showdown was really inevitable and it did not disappoint. Now,
I personally think that El has earned herself next years
TikTok Creator of the Year Award by filming her point
of view of the argument. Now to give it justice,
(06:44):
I think we need to throw to a clip.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You guys, So I'm at an event and Cindy is here, right,
and she made she made these like sweethearror.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Before, Babe, send a fucking seasoned desist.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Now would be grateful as season desist for why don't
you tell everyone what FPM means?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You want to tell everyone what f PM means? Tell
everyone what FPM means.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
They maybe tell everyone what FPM is and going back
to working the streets, said, go back to working.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
The streets because you clearly fucking need to.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It is not funny to make fun of someone for
getting sexually assaulted and then pull this shit at an
influencer event. Are you kidding? And have your boyfriend, your
five seven boyfriend yell at me like for what for?
What are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I do want to point out that L's allegations against
Cindy are unsubstantiated. Cindy has denied that she has worked
as a sex work. I think it's very important that
we make that clear in terms of the acronym FPM
for anyone that was desperate like me to know what
it means. Elle has confirmed it was a nickname Cindy
gave to a mutual friend, so it means fat pig
(08:01):
mel Isn't that disgusting? Wow? I've seen a lot of
people online saying that these women should go on The
Real Housewives of Sydney, and with these vile comments, they
could actually feel quite well. It was so reminiscent of
a scene from that show. I mean it was even
juicier because obviously it's not being overproduced and it's clear
that there is real tension between these women. The funniest
(08:23):
thing is Elle wasn't the only influencer to share vision
from the fight. So Victoria Camp shared hilarious footage of
her trying to pose for content while the dispute broke
out behind her, and she captured the video point of view.
You're taking videos at an influencer event and you get
a front row seat on the TikTok drama to give
this clip justice, Let's take a listen.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
She yeah, Hey, yeah, that's fuck.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You want to you can't take it?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You want to fuck around?
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
This video has gone absolutely viral at the time of recording,
it's had one point five million views. It just reminded
me of when you get a friend to film you
or pretend to take a photo because you want to
capture someone in the background or something happening. But I
think it was actually genuine, and I give it to Victoria.
She still works the camera like the angles that she
was giving and the poses that she was doing first class.
(09:25):
I mean, if it was me, I would have been
like stop, I need to watch what's going on because
it would be the best people watching. I would love
to know what was going on at the event in
terms of were the marketing managers scrambling like you know,
was anyone getting involved and breaking them apart because it
got really nasty. I just want to know, did this
beverage company purposely invite Cindy and l knowing about the
(09:48):
feud and thinking, Okay, this could get out of hand.
It will get us a lot of attention because these days,
in terms of the influencer world, we're at a point
where all publicity is good public. I mean we are
in the year of influencer best friends busting up and
sharing all the dirty details online. We've spoken a lot
about how that's how influencers remain relevant and in the zeitgey,
(10:12):
so maybe this beverage company was like, ooh, invite them.
I don't think they thought that they would go this
nuts though, because l shared in the comment section of
a TikTok about the incident that the brand was in
damage control now and asking influencers to remove content from
the fight. I don't think they had any idea of
the feud between these girls. I think there must just
(10:32):
be a huge list of Sydney influencers then they went, yeah,
just invite them because it was just terrible research on
their behalf. Yeah, because no one would want this happening
at their event, Like, yes, maybe a back and forth,
but this was a full on disgusting fight. It really
did take the tone of the event down, particularly because
it looked like it was kind of trying to be
quite a fancy, upmarket event, or from having worked at
(10:53):
some of those events in the past, they can be
super awkward already. I mean adding that kind of fight
would that have made it better because people actually had
something to talk about to it. It would galvanized them together, like,
oh there's something we can actually talk about now. What
I love is the drama didn't stop there, so after
holding onto receipts for almost a year, Elle unleashed following
the event. So it turns out she had the perfect
(11:16):
ammunition against her former friend. You see, upon realizing Lle
had unfollowed her late last year, Cindy took to her
Instagram story and posted a rant on her close friends
about her former friend. Unbeknown to Cindy, though a mutual
influencer friend that the women have in common screen recorded
it and sent it to Elle. Elle has later confirmed
(11:38):
that friend was Isabella Gray, the woman who introduced them. Now,
the clip was actually obtained by The Daily Mail, who
ran a subscriber only article about it back in January. However,
this week, Elle posted the screen recording to her TikTok
and it was explosive. So in the vision, Cindy shared
her side of the story, claiming Elle had blan the
(12:00):
matter out of proportion, and she agreed that the initial
argument at the Girl's Night was sparked after she said
that she would still attend the restaurant in question fully
knowing her friend had been sexually assaulted there. She called
Elle a nut and said that she had lost the plot.
She also went on to allege that l was starting
online drama because she is so keen for content for
her podcast. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
She's trying to create bit of drama online and obviously
something for a podcast because she has nothing relevant in
her life, anything going on. She's miserable in her marriage,
her kids are driving her not she doesn't have a nanny,
so she's taking it out on me and so that
she has some sort of internet drama with people and
basically commenting back on Reddit posts like you're just like
one of them, You're just like FPM, like you're just
(12:44):
a typical trawl.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Are the Real Housewives of Sydney producers listening to this
like this is already a storyline? Guys, I really hope. So,
I mean, come on, give us something good because the
last series was a little bit disappointing. It really needed
Athena X. That's what was missing in this series. They
changed the cast. Now. In this rant, Cindy went on
to say that the restaurant rowt wasn't that dramatic and
(13:06):
then said this, you're not going to tell.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
A grown ass woman where she can and cannot go,
Like I would never ask that of my friends. It's
like me telling her you can't go to tanuki every
Friday because Jason goes there. Like, these girls are fucking
delusional and they love to show drama, and it's a
big fucking awakening, and this is why the circle is
very small these days.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's interesting that she referenced so I keep my circle small.
Yet it was one of the people on her close
friends that sent this story onto L. How awkward. Yeah,
I mean, this whole thing was really difficult to watch,
but the worst of it came towards the end when
Cindy downplayed L's sexual assault claim. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
If you have a problem with something, call me. We're
not going to agree on everything else. Just because you
were sexual assaulted doesn't mean anything, you know, Like I
wasn't making front of the sexual assault even though it
wasn't really a sexual assault that I tried to kiss
you and you're and then you're lodging it six months later.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Aside from all of this sort of petty drama, I
do want to focus on Cindy's comments regarding L's sexual
assault allegations because it's very disturbing and I think a
part of the reason why a lot of women are
afraid to report sexual assault. Also, in New South Wales
there is no statute of limitations on reporting sexual assaults,
so they can be prosecuted years or even decades after
(14:21):
they occurred, so there's no issue with her reporting it
six months later. Like it's ridicularly, I mean, people should
believe women when they say something has happened. Oh definitely.
It's also rather awkward because a big part of Cindy's
brand online has been all about supporting women. I mean
we heard l say that she's a girl's girl. This
is not a girl's girl. No, I don't know, Like
if you're if you're saying you're a girl's girl, and
(14:42):
you're putting this type of content out online, like you
need some damage control. Like is it kind of like
those people that say, oh, be nice on the Instagram
profiles and they're like the biggest trolls, Like we have
to look out for people that say there's girls girls.
It's like mother of three, be kind. What they don't
get is why would you ever post this online, particularly
if you have a following, Like this is so damaging.
(15:05):
I mean I get it that you posted it to
your close friends. But this sort of stuff always seems
to get leaked. Don't even get like, why would you
post it to your close friends? Like, why don't you
just ring up one of your friends and have a
private conversation where you can have a bit of a
rant about it. I want to know how many people
are on the close friends list as well. I mean,
I mean with my close friends list, I generally just
add everyone I sort of know personally. It's like that
(15:27):
UK soccer wag that caught out her friend who was
selling stories about her to the media by changing her
close friends list to only be that particular person that
is so clever. Wouldn't that be hilarious to set someone
up like that? And you're like gotcha now. Cindy is
yet to comment further on the matter, but Elle has
continued to stir the pot and people are loving it.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
She shared a text message exchange between her and Cindy
from back in September twenty twenty four, as well as
a video of her enjoying the sunshine with the caption
me after my therapist and I decide the other person
is the problem. She's also been teasing that she will
be posting a story time unpacking the whole thing, and
I'm waiting with baited breath. Let's get into our Friday
(16:11):
influencer dump and to kick things off, Sunrise reporter Katie
Brown has been slammed online after weighing into the TikTok
Awards racism row. So on Tuesday show, we discussed how
a number of black creators had spoken out about the
racism they experienced at the TikTok Awards, which included a
photographer barring black creators from entering the red carpet. Now,
(16:32):
this week, the Sunrise Roving reporter weighed in in an
attempt to provide the perspective of a journalist working the
red carpet. In the video shared to TikTok, Katie attempted
to defend the media by saying it wasn't up to
the journalists on the red carpet who they interviewed, but
actually a network decision. She went on to explain that
when journalists are sent to red carpet events like the
(16:52):
TikTok Awards, they are provided with a list of attendees
to interview by the bosses. Ah, so it's the network
that's racist, not the journalist. The war it Okay, thank you.
So it's the media as a whole. It's a systemic
problem that we're dealing with. I mean, why would you
ever defend this? I know, I mean unsurprisingly, this hot
take went down like a lead balloon, and the video
has since been deleted. Of course, people managed to screen
(17:14):
record it before that happened and have been stitching it up. Yeah,
a lot of people were saying that the way Katie
spoke was really condescending. What did you think of it?
I mean, it just baffles me that someone who works
in the media, that is media savvy would think it
would be a good idea to come out and defend
the racism that we all saw for ourselves on the
TikTok red carpet. I mean, Nayelle literally has recorded receipts
(17:38):
of the disgusting way that she was treated. How could
you defend that? Yeah, and I think the optics of
a white blonde woman telling black creators how they should
perceive their treatment on a red carpet isn't a great look.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Well, it just makes no sense because it's like, well,
clearly it was a racist decision, because saying oh, the
racist decision wasn't made by the reporters. It was made
by the network, Like, how is that any better? It's
actually worse. So it's just the networks who don't give
a fuck about black creators. US beauty influencer James Charles
has ruffled feathers after a trip to Buddings. James is
currently in Australia promoting his makeup brand Painted and decided
(18:09):
to film a TikTok taste test trying out the sausage
sizzle after being encouraged by friends and fans. This video
actually popped up in my FORU page and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. My favorite bit would have to be when
James Charles tried to donate extra money to the charity
and the volunteer didn't want to accept it. Let's have
a listen.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
For Harry, right, yeah, can you rather thro one hundred
for you? I'm not going I can't do that. What
ram it supporting?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
So you four hundred?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Thank no, it's not cranky time, how course, Thank you
Harry very much.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Thank you for hearing that. Now.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
James ended up ordering six sausages and when it came
to choosing his toppings. This is where Ozzie and Us
relations started to fracture because he said he would like tomato,
sauce and mustard, because at the end of the day,
it really is just a hot dog. It's not a sausage.
It didn't go down well online, so people actually calling
for James to be deported over insulting the Butting sausage.
(19:11):
I mean, obviously it's a bit of fun, but it
has outraged Ossies and we are correct. The Bunning sausage
is not a hot dog because one a hot dog
is boiled while a sausage is cooked on the barbecue. Yeah,
there's a bit of flavor, a bit more flavor to
the sausage. I mean this is coming from a vegetarian,
but I have had a sausage sizzle. In the part,
he gave them a ten out of ten though, so
he didn't insult Ozzies too much, and it actually made
(19:32):
me crave a Bunning sausage because they sell some vegetarian
ones that some of the depots. I've always wondered because yeah,
you feel like you're really missing out when you're a
vegio and you can't get around the Bunny sausage sizzle.
Sophie Jane Miller has been left stunned after spotting Justin
and Hailey Bieber in a fish market in Japan. Sophie
and her husband Sam are currently honeing mooning in Japan,
(19:54):
and we're logging in the fish market when Justin and
Hailey Bieber casually walked past them. Let's have a to
their reaction. Oh my god, Look, can you see.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
How many people have noticed.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I don't believe you even noticed that.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I was likely looking at it and I was like,
that's Habber. And then I looked and I was like,
that's Justin Bieber. Hats off to Sophie and Sam for
initially playing it cool. They did secretly film them later.
I mean I say secretly, but I think every celebrity
has enough awareness to know that everyone is pulling out
their phones and recording them. Well, so you could tell
that Sophie didn't want to do it, so her husband's like, look,
(20:29):
just pretend you're logging and walk past the restaurant, because
Hailey and Justin were lining up out the front, and
this restaurant had apparently already closed for the day, but
they were reopening it just so they could come inside.
As you would. Of course, they would Yeah. I can
see why you would want to film it though, because
it's almost like you wouldn't believe your own ohyes, particularly
when you're overseas, like it would be so like maybe
(20:50):
if you're in America and that's where they're from, but
it would be so strange to see these celebrities in
the setting that you were completely not expecting to see
them in. See. If I was them, I would have
gone right up to them. I would have acknowledged their
celebrity but tried to have a normal conversation with them,
and if they didn't engage her then probably would have
just resorted to filming them from afar. I would not
have the balls, particularly how I've seen Justin Bieber react,
(21:11):
oh that's a good pose, Well there was. I would
be like, no way. Well, I actually saw a video
of someone else who was at the fish Market and
they completely filmed, like they had their camera out. They
got such a good shot of Justin and Hailey going
through the market, so obviously other people were just blatantly filming.
Of course they were. Everyone was filming. Every person that
they walked past would have had their camera on. That's
where you need those what are those these meta glasses
(21:32):
which have video cameras in them. And to finish off
today's influencer dump, I have to share with you a
very candid confession from Molly May which she made in
her December first video. It was to the point where
I actually had to rewind to make sure this is
what she actually said. Let's have a listen.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
You know when you're at school and you're sat on
a chair and when you used to wear tights, your
bomb would get ready itchy. I've got that same exact
sensation right now. My bum is so chy. I don't
know if it's because I'm cold and I've just sat
on heat to see or what.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
But look, I'm all for influencers being raw and honest,
but I think this probably should have been cut out.
Like I can already imagine what the UK tabloids are
running with as a headline for this, well, something to
that effect. I loved her. I think this is why
people follow her. We've said it time and time again.
She shows this glamorous side of her life and then
(22:21):
next minute she's talking about her itchy bum. I love
that Vlogmas is back. I'm not delusional enough to think
that the likes of Molly May are going to do
it every day. I saw Sophie Jane Miller is actually
vlogging or trying to do vloglis. Yeah, hats off. That
is a lot of work. It is, especially because she's
on holiday, like she's on her honeymoon and having to
churn these out, I mean a lot of and also
because she edits her own videos. I know when Sath
(22:42):
from Barker did it last year, she had a friend
who was editing them. You're saying honeymoon, but it seems
to be a brand troop with jet Star. She actually
already had a honeymoon, well honeymoon slash brand troop whatever. Okay,
so you know she probably has to create content. She
probably gone to them. Look if you say me to Japan,
I'll do vlogmas from there and we'll do a daily vok.
The Devil works hard, but Lang works harder.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
As if twenty twenty five couldn't get any worse, Grease
is facing a shortage of Feta diity oh oh fuck.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Over the weekend, Adele Petropolis confirmed the real reason behind
her shop decision to cancel her wedding just three months
out from the big day. On the evening of what
would have been her wedding date, the popular TikTok Is
celebrated with a girl's night out and an iconic cake.
Now Adele made sure this cake was front and center
of the content she shared from the night, and with
(23:35):
good reason. So the cake had written across it in
icing cheaters don't get cake. So Adele posted a video
of her taking a bite from the cake, and she
captured the post, canceled the wedding, kept the party. Thank
God for my girls. I love this because she said
so much without actually having to say anything at all. Yeah,
(23:57):
it's not like she's had to go on TikTok and
give all the gory details. We know who the problem
was well back in September, when Adele announced the breakup,
she said she wouldn't be going into the details because
she didn't want to get bad karma. But she did
reveal that something happened that didn't align with her principal.
So a lot of people came to the conclusion it
must have been cheating, and there were quite a lot
(24:18):
of signs that pointed to it. So there was a
general consensus that it must have been cheating, and there
were quite a lot of signs that pointed to it.
One of the major signs was the fact that Adele
and her fiance Anthony were actually overseas in Europe traveling together,
and she literally fled Europe and announced the news when
she got home. There was also that boys trip for
(24:39):
a Bucks party to Las Vegas that Anthony went on
and at the time, Adele said that he was in
the doghouse because he messaged her the day before he
was coming home to tell her that he had bought
her a gift, and at the time, she said, the
bougie of the gift, the worse he had done. And
she actually unboxed the gift on her TikTok and it
was a designer hand, so she knew something bad had happened.
(25:02):
I think it's a dumple ball offence to even say
that you want to have your Bucks in Las Vegas, Like,
does anything good come out of that? Well? I think
it was actually a friend's Bucks in Las Vegas. But
I mean, I mean, that's even worse. Got to go
for my moat. I mean. There was also that Blue
Eyed Kayla Jade video. So for those not familiar with Kayla,
she is a popular TikToker, who shares her life as
a sex worker, and she shared a video two days
(25:24):
before Adele made her announcement saying a guy called Anthony
message her saying he's currently in Europe for his bucks
and would show her around if she's interested. Yeah, the
optics aren't great for Anthony, are they. I wonder now
that she's shared this cake if she will go into
further details on TikTok, especially because the reaction from her
followers has been so positive and everyone's been saying we
(25:45):
want to know more. Yeah. I feel like this could
be the tip of the iceberg and I can't wait
to hear more. But that is so bad. That does
not look anything like me. Isabelle Maths is the new
owner of Ellie Watson's much loved Gold Coast Hintland mansion.
The estate was so popular it became the nation's most
weird property heading into its auction, according to real estate
(26:07):
dot com dot au. I can see why so. The
popular lifestyle influencer purchased the property back in twenty twenty
one and documented the extensive renovations, and Ellie's audience were
very quick to fall in love with the aesthetically pleasing home,
and they were shocked when she put it up for auction.
You know, a home is fancy when it has a name.
So it's called the Valet Cassa. I love it. Does
(26:30):
your home have a name? Maybe it doesn't officially have
a name, but we've got an old bungalow so we
were actually tempted to have a little sign made with
a name. But we spoke about that three years ago.
Nothing's been done. I love the idea because our grandparents'
house was called swinder Be. It was the place that
they met and I was like, oh, rece, we should
do the same thing. But then I'm like, Titanium Security
arena doesn't have quite the same ring that's where we
(26:50):
met at work. Maybe in cursive it might look nice though,
might fit the vibe, I don't think so. Maybe Titanium
could pay naming rights. I don't know. I don't think
they'd want to. Now. Just back to Ellie's house and
despite the huge interest in the property, it actually got
passed in at auction, so post option negotiations saw Isabelle
and her partner Harry become the new owners. Now it's
(27:10):
unclear how much they actually paid for the property, but
it did get passed in with a top bit of
five point nine million dollars, so we can all use
our imaginations. Was pretty interesting because Isabelle and Ellie both
requested that the price remained confidential because they didn't want
to be flashy. I remember when we bought our house.
I didn't even realize that was an option, and I'd
send everyone in the link and then it just popped
(27:32):
up how much we paid it? Of this awkward thing? Well,
I mean, you weren't paying six million dollars for a house,
you know, not, sadly not. But it was pat at
a time when it was like the peak of house prices,
and it felt like a disgusting amount to pay for what. Well,
this is probably going to make you feel sick. Amy,
guess what the Watson's paid for the house back in
twenty twenty. Mind you, they did extensive renovations on it.
(27:52):
Look I'd hate to think I'm guessing like what like
a million dollars or something. They paid one point four
eight million. I wonder if Wheatley and Lucky war are
looking on, thinking, God, if we can just stop arguing
and finish his house renovations, we can make a lot
of money off it. What kind of makes sense that
it's an influencer that's purchased it. Maybe they're the only
people with that much cash and that desire to have
(28:13):
such an aesthetically pleasing home. I didn't realize she was
so rich. I mean, yeah, she's an influencer. But again,
I think the pay packets of influencers have kind of
gone down over the last couple of years. Considering how
saturated the market is. I'm guessing she gets paid a
lot as an international model. She also is the creative
partner at Rachel Dillon's active where company CSB. But again,
(28:35):
it's like, really, are you making that much money? Yeah,
because normally, if you're an influencer or model and you
have that much money, you have a business connected, like
for example, Steph Clare Smith and Laura Henshaw with Kick.
That's when they make the majority of their money. Yeah.
So I was like, oh, you know, Isabel Mathis doesn't
have her own business, so I didn't think she would
have that much of an income, but she clearly does
in terms of a property portfolio. She also owns a
(28:58):
beachfront apartment that she purchased for two point three million dollars,
which she has retained. It's going to be really weird
for Ellie Watson to see her old home appearing in
Isabelle Math's content. Now, I wonder if there's an element
of it being quite nice. Maybe you can sort of
check in.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
You can never have enough hats, gloves and shoes.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Let's get into our Friday debrief, and a quick one's
a good one. I am going to recommend Christmas tree
hooks for your decorations. Random sounds silly, but what you
need to do is cut off all of those ugly
strings from your ball bulls and get these Christmas tree hooks.
You get them from Target Big w They're like two
dollars a packet and they make your Christmas tree look
(29:36):
so much better. We actually went to our parents' house
yesterday to put up their Christmas tree, and Sophie's like,
are you sure that we should be cutting these strings off?
She was so impressed that when she got home she's like,
maybe I should redo my whole three and her tree
looks incredible. Has that she double wraps the string around
the branch or something, but you can still see it.
That's the thing, like the great thing with these hooks
(29:59):
is they blend in into the greenery and you can
actually maneuver the ornament, you know, the way you want it.
It looks so good. Our best friend was saying that
she wants us to bring back the Christmas tree competition,
like who has the best one between us? I'm keen
for that.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I'm a little bit nervous though, because if we do
a segment where we're rating influences trees, I think people
might go ham on our own trees. But I'm pretty
confident that. Yeah, I'm pretty confident. The thing is ours
are quite similar because we have the same balsam hill
tree and the same sort of colour theme. So like
ours are both read and gold. We're going to leave
it up to we have to leave it up to
the audience. Let us know if you want to bring
(30:33):
that back. I know I've just kind of ruined what
I am about to suggest, But maybe we don't say
whose tree is who? I love all this Christmas tree
advice we're giving fluff your tree, use ornament hooks. Well,
I've got a recommendation for everyone. And it's a book
by Jennifer Saunders, and I think it was released back
in twenty fifteen, but I've just listened to it on
Audible and it is so funny. I just have a
(30:55):
thing where I need to listen to the author's narrating, like,
for example, for Prince Harry's book, I listened to him.
There's something that just makes the book so much better.
And it's got me now watching old episodes of ab
fab and I have forgotten how hilarious I are. Okay,
you need to watch it. You've been quoting ab fab
like it's going out of fashion. It happens probably once
(31:16):
every two years. No, I haven't seen it. I probably
haven't watched it for like seven years properly, and I'm
finding myself laughing out loud legitimately. Well, that is where
we're going to leave things today. If you do enjoy
the podcast, we really appreciate it. If you could leave
us a review, and if you want to hear more
from us, we drop a subscriber only episode every Thursday.
