She's written a book, she does essays, 27 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 2: she has a podcast. She's very deep. She wants you 28 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: to know that she's more than just a beautiful face. 29 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: And passed on with Harry Styles recently. 30 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 2: She did recently kiss Harry Styles in Tokyo. 31 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: But she wants you to know. She's got a book. 32 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, she's got a book about feminism. Anyway. She's 33 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: been fighting with Celeste Barber for many years because Celeste 34 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: has spoofed em Rada's pics and videos in a lot 35 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: of her posts. In twenty twenty one, though, it really 36 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: came to a head. Celeste recreated a video of em 37 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: Rada posing in a g string she was underwater shower, 38 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: and she posted it with the caption she said something 39 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: about women stop objectifying women's bodies. Sorry, but here's a 40 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: photo of my ass. So em took events to that, interesting, 41 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: isn't it, And then she called her out. There was 42 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: this big sort of i suppose, like a mini cancelation 43 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: of Celeste Barber for about a week or so, and 44 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: the conversation about internalized misogyny came out of that that 45 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: should women be being mean to other women because of 46 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 2: their bodies or should we be reducing women based on 47 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 2: how they present themselves or how clothed or scandally clad 48 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: they seem to be. 49 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: It's a big debate, isn't it that you know, we 50 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: look at models and assume they're done, and we look 51 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: at models and think you should put clothes on if 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: you want to be taken seriously? Should they have to exactly? 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: Well, this is let's how you get more followers though. 54 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 2: You put a girl in a bikini, and then you 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: get more followed. 56 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: The job is to be a model. But she is saying, 57 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: I also am more than my bum, And what's wrong 58 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: if I show my bum and write a book. 59 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, that there should be currency in both of those 60 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: things or all of those things. And I suppose it 61 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: was that, oh, the sisterhood feels let down. You know, 62 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: this is what the Internet was saying, that Celeste Barber 63 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: is sort of punching down and that isn't it easy 64 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: to make fun of women without their clothes on when 65 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: you know the world has big issues at play interesting. 66 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 2: Since then, they've just been I suppose enemies. M Rudd 67 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: blocked Celeste, But this week em Rutter has a podcast 68 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: it's called High Low, and em addressed the whole thing, 69 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: and she said it's been blown out of proportion, that 70 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: it was more about feminism than it was about Celeste, 71 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: that she doesn't necessarily have a problem with Celeste as 72 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: a person, but that she didn't really give her consent 73 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: to use those images, and that it was a very 74 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: specific time where she thinks that we love to pick 75 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: on female influences. They're considered, you know, the lamest, the lowest, 76 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: the most cringe, most embarrassing people on the planet, and 77 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: that fundamentally she finds that to be sexist, like that 78 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: women influencers are hustling, they're making money, they're successful, and 79 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: was that fair for Celest to be a part of. 80 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: But I feel like what is interesting, and what I 81 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 2: maybe haven't heard of in this argument before, is that 82 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: she didn't give her consent to use those images, and 83 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: then maybe Celeste has repurposed her images and has profited 84 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: off them. What do you think in comedy it's always 85 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: a sort of gray area here, But that's. 86 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: Part of satire. 87 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: But it's like us using any of the stuff from 88 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: a cart affair or anything that we do on this 89 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: radio show and giving them money for it. And I 90 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: guess what is fair or christ for the meal? 91 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: But also with those images put up by m Rata 92 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: on her socials, because then, yes, they are public property. 93 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's out there, it's out there, true, I guess, yeah, 94 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: I suppose that we get so caught up in the 95 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: Oh look there's the two women fighting each other argument 96 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 2: that I hadn't even considered that. Well, yeah, Celeste Barber 97 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: has millions of followers. If she's resharing Emrata's images and 98 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: making money, that's right. 99 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: She puts her image up as well. But if it's 100 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: on social media, I think it's it's public property. But 101 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: I wonder what this is for the bigger picture of 102 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: Celeste Barber's act, such as it is. Yeah, because once 103 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: you start thinking like that, you go, well, does em 104 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: Rata have a point exactly? 105 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: And has been several years that Celeste's been doing the 106 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: same thing. She's obviously a hugely successful and famous comedian. 107 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: Now she has a Netflix show, stand up specials. She 108 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: has definitely diversified. I suppose what it is that she does. 109 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 2: But a lot of her critics have kind of pointed out, 110 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: kind of pointed out that, you know, maybe she needs 111 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: to switch up the act. Maybe she needs to stop 112 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 2: doing the same old trick. Well maybe she said start 113 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 2: spoofing people like the rock a noisy when they're bench pressing. 114 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 2: Time someone went for the rock because you look at Noolsey, 115 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 2: he's bench pressing a car block, an engine car block, 116 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: and good on, he is a National Treasury. 117 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: Hands off nosy. Hasn't he been through or nothing? 118 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 2: You say anything about nosy? 119 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: You say it to me, I think we are. I'm 120 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: part of the noisy gang. 121 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 2: What about me? 122 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: Well done? 123 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. 124 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: That's when you've got what we aim for.
