WEBVTT - Alissa’s “Damage Control” PR Masterplan 

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome back to the Math twenty podcast. And today, guys,

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be talking about the damage control PR

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:10.600
<v Speaker 1>strategies that we're now seeing play out in real time,

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 1>and I've already touched on how Gia is trying to

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>shift her public narrative by bringing her daughter into the conversation, which,

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>if you're not across, listen to the episode I did

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.439
<v Speaker 1>earlier this week titled The boss Babes have Turned on

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>each Other. But in this podcast, I'm going to be

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>speaking mostly about Alyssa. Up until now, Alyssa's been presented

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>to us mostly as an angel, like the lovely girl

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.160
<v Speaker 1>just on the show for love who's been up against

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>all of the mean girls who have been trying to

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>tear her down, and the public of Bacta and her

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>edit until this week was so glowing that, as far

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>as I'm told, she started to believe this version of

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>her time on the show, and although she knew that

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>there may be a little bit of drama towards the end, now,

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>ultimately and again I'm told that she thought she would

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>maintain her halo as one of the show's goodies and

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>come out as someone loved by most viewers. Yet now

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>as things have shifted as fast as they have, it's

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>like she's had the carpet pulled from beneath her feet

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:21.119
<v Speaker 1>and she's spiraling thinking, shit, how much worse can this get?

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>So yesterday, as Alyssa spoke to Triple M and did

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>a live radio interview, I figured out her entire play

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>for the next few weeks within seconds, or I at

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>least came up with a theory which I fully back.

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>And remember, I've been in this industry for what ten

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.959
<v Speaker 1>years now, especially working with reality stars, not just from maths,

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>but you know, as far back as my days in

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>the UK with the Love Island UK cast and the

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Joddy Shorecast, and yeah, I kind of just see through

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>most things now to be honest. Then, yeah, let's go

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>back to Alyssa on the radio yesterday. Take a list

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>into this.

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 2>There was an issue that happened between us and that

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 2>definitely broke my trust very early on in the experiment,

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>and it was something that I never really got over.

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>You dropped a bomb there trust issues. So was it

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>David texting another girl or what was the trust issue

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:19.640
<v Speaker 1>that was broken?

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 2>H Look, he lied about something.

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>That's Alyssa insinuating that the real reason things didn't work

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>out with David and the real reason she's acting as

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>she is now like and saying she's only seventy percent

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>in the marriage and flirting with the other guy was

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.239
<v Speaker 1>because of something that David did which we never got

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>to see. And as the radio host in the interview

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>then pushed to find out, well what did he do, Alissa.

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Said this, Look, he lied about something to me.

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 1>What was it? His assets?

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 2>I can't I can't, shay, I can't say. Look, I

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:58.359
<v Speaker 2>will tell my story one day.

0:02:58.520 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Is it something that we see on spread?

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to see on screen because they never

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 2>put it into the edit, unfortunately. But we did talk

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>about it, but it just never made it to air.

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>And despite alyssa center in that whole interview around an

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.839
<v Speaker 1>incident that she didn't actually want to reveal, she did

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>tease at the end that she may one day share

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:17.519
<v Speaker 1>it with people.

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so this is something maybe I don't know. We'll

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>just have to wait and see. If I feel like

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I want to tell my story one day, I might.

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, it will make a lot more sense to

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.920
<v Speaker 2>the viewers. As to the build up and as to

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 2>the spiraling and whatnot. Yeah.

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Also yesterday, as well as doing that radio interview with

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Triple M, Alyssa spoke to The Daily Mail and she

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>basically said the same thing, that her relationship with David

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>fell apart because of something he did. But again she

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't say what. And here's the exact quote. We had

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>an early incident maybe four weeks into the experiment that

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>really rocked us. Trust was broken and looking back now,

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I never really healed, I never fully let go of

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>that hurt. I guess more cracks then started to show

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>because of that issue. Alyssa now saying all of this

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>on record in those two interviews now makes me think

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>that she was the source behind these two stories a

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>week or so ago, where firstly an insider said this

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 1>to the Daily Mail, viewers are only seeing part of

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the story. The Daily Mail can reveal that a turning

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>point in the couple's relationship, one that would provide insight

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.919
<v Speaker 1>into their current struggles, was left on the cutting room floor.

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>This incident, I'm told, okay, the insider is told, involved

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>an awkward mishap during intimacy. Again, though that article didn't

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>say what the incident was. The Same day as the article,

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>another one popped up on New Idea, quoting another insider

0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>who said this, Alyssa's incredibly anxious about what viewers might

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>think of her. She's scared that the narrative will make

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>her look paranoid or over emotional when there was actually

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot more going on. She just helps viewers understand

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that what they're seeing isn't the full picture. Now, my

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>current theory is this those two stories that either came

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>from Alyssa or someone she knows, and they were given

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 1>to Daily Mail a New Idea as a way of

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>potentially planting this seed that yes, drama's coming that will

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>show a Lissa negatively. But everyone please have in the

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 1>back of your mind that, hey, there's actually more to

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the situation than you're not going to see on the Telly.

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>And now that the negative scenes of Alyssa are airing

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and public opinion is quickly changing, Alyssa going on record

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>yesterday again teasing this big unaired incident and moment now

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>feels like her building on those first stories again saying

0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>to anyone reading, please know there's a lot more to

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>what you're watching, but I'm not going to tell you

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>what and what I believe will now happen next is

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>over the next two weeks, as the show slowly comes

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to an end, and presumably Alyssa is going to be

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>portrayed even worse and attract more backlash from viewers. I

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 1>suspect that we'll see more interviews with her popping up,

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>where she'll keep teasing this mystery, real reason and incident

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>we didn't get to see, and she'll perhaps give a

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit more where she might say how it made

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>her feel, how it impacted her for the rest of filming,

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>but again without saying what it was. And then and

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.919
<v Speaker 1>only when the show is finished airing on TV and

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>these no more episodes to come out that will keep

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>portraying a listen negatively. I believe that's when she will

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 1>then tell us the full story, and she'll do that,

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>presumably in a video on her own social media, where

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>she can control the edit and the narrative and what

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>she says, and she can do different takes if it

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really convey the emotions she wants it to. And yeah,

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I think she'll wait and do it like that, because,

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>for example, if she said in those interviews yesterday what

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the incident was, and then in the next episode there's

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>a big thing that makes her look more negative. Whatever

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>that incident is, and this big thing she's teasing it

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 1>would just be lost because the conversation will shift to

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the latest episode, and her big play would then have

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:31.239
<v Speaker 1>just been wasted because timing is everything in the PR world.

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Whereas if she waits until the show, he's done again

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and these no more bombshells on screen to distract from

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever this card she's currently holding so close to her

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>chest is. Only then will shall revealed the big thing

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 1>almost has her own season finale to try and bring

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the narrative back in her favor by presumably prompting sympathy

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>as she shares whatever this finger is after again. I

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.559
<v Speaker 1>suspect the TV finale will leave most viewers going away

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 1>from this season being like, Nah, we don't like her,

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and do I think this is bad of Alissa? Nah.

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>If she plays it this way, it's actually pretty clever

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and the smartest way she could do it, and it

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.239
<v Speaker 1>would also ensure that she kind of has the last say.

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 1>She could literally second after the final episode wraps on TV,

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 1>she could then drop this bombshell whatever it is, across

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 1>all socials, so then the season ends again. With her

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>having that final word and giving this thing that would

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>presumably turn things around for her. And it's worth noting

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.839
<v Speaker 1>I've got no idea what this incident is. No one

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 1>has spoke to seems to know what the incident is,

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>and hey, maybe it is something serious enough that will

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>turn things around for her. And if she did endure

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>something as bad as she is eluding, then I suppose

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the season would dead end when she reveals that, raising

0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>all these questions about hey, why did production allow so

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>why did they cut such an integral storyline. But if

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>it turns out to be nothing or a beat up,

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 1>as we say in the media, then if anything, after

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>all these weeks of teasing something that is nothing, it's

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 1>only going to turn even more people off her. And also,

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>on a last note, just on this subject of like

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 1>pr plays, here's what I predict we'll see Gia say

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.839
<v Speaker 1>and doing, maybe like a month's time now, if she

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>does go through with a current plan of launching an

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.199
<v Speaker 1>only fans post show, which for the record, I'm not against.

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 1>I know many people in the industry and all power

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>to them, But if Gia does go down that path

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and then it does attract negativity, which it will do,

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.680
<v Speaker 1>especially after her comments shaming Scott Sex on the show

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 1>for having an Only Fans. I guarantee you that we

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>were then see stories, whether they're from Gia directly or

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>sources talking about how much money she's made in her

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>first day or her first week or her first month

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>on Only Fans, which I I've seen and I'm sure

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>you guys have time and time again, whenever anyone, especially

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:10.559
<v Speaker 1>someone controversial, joins OnlyFans, they will always boast about their

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>earnings as a way to kind of be like, hey,

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:14.839
<v Speaker 1>you can say this and that about me, you can

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>try and shame you, but hey, I've got the last

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>laugh because look at me. I've just made twenty grand

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 1>today or something like that. And time will tell if

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>that actually happens, though, but I suspect it will, just

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.079
<v Speaker 1>like I suspect the alict of stuff will play out

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>exactly as I speculate. Or actually, here's a final four him.

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I've kind of shot myself in the foot a

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>bit by predicting all of this publicly. And now, Alyssa

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.439
<v Speaker 1>and you are going to listen to this and purposely

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>like restrategize and not do any of that, just to

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.599
<v Speaker 1>prove me wrong, which if they do that, you know,

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>fair play because I'm going to look stupid. But again

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.199
<v Speaker 1>time will tell. Say yah
