WEBVTT - Cheating Boyfriends and Gold Coast Snakes 

0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>hottest influenza and pop culture news twice a week. I'm

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Amy Torber and coming up on today's show, Sky Wheatley

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>shares her dramatic transformation following fox eye surgery, Lucy Jackson

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>slams cheating boyfriend a day after he moved in, and

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Tammy Hembro turns into a snake catcher. But first, Sophy

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>my TikTok for some reason has been serving me up

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of content around diet coke at the moment,

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>and there is a whole subculture of people who were

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 1>just obsessed with trying to track down and create the

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>crispiest diet coke. I don't know if you've seen this content.

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>We have to have pabble dice and a glass cup,

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 2>probably a glass cup that's been sitting in the freezer

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 2>for a couple hours.

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>We are sen in a glass strap.

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Do you hear how crispy that is?

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>That's going to be a beautiful diet cup. Kind of

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>get it. I would think that I'm a bit of

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>a coke connoisseur. It is my drink of choice. I'm

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>a coke, no sugar person, and I think that it

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>tastes so different in a can, in a bottle, in

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>a large bottle, from the tap. I mean it's the

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>worst in the tap. There are some people on TikTok

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>who love a McDonald's coke and they swear that that

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>is the best way it surf, but personally, I think

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>it's the worst. There's something in it that makes me

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>need to go to the toilet for all the time.

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the ice that makes it taste really

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>good though, because I'm saying I don't like it, no,

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 1>but I actually do. I get around that more. I

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>get it now because before I would have said no, no,

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.919
<v Speaker 1>in a can's best, but it's not. You need the ice.

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.479
<v Speaker 1>I think a can of coke can taste just as good,

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>but it has to be really cold. And this is

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>where one TikToker has come up with the theory of

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:46.479
<v Speaker 1>marinating a coke. So she's called Christine Hollinghouse, and basically

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>her rule of thumb is that you have to keep

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>a can of coke in the fridge upwards of ten

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>days and then that's when it reaches its absolute peak

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>coldness and crispiness. It has to be a bit misty

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>on the outside of the can to be marinated enough

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>to drink it.

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>We take the day of coke, we put it in

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 2>the fridge, We let it sit and marinate for multiple

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>days at a time, and then you get this and

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 2>it becomes crispy and delicious and it's marinated.

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>My partner recently bought a slab of Cocono sugars, and

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>we've had half sitting on top of the fridge and

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>half in the fridge. And we got to the rotation

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>where there was only one marinated coke left, and I

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 1>put the bunch of warm cans in the fridge, thinking

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I've done the good deed. I'm calling these ones up.

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I will have the marinated can for dinner. But he's

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>snuck in and got it first. And I can tell

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>you that there is a big difference between a warm

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>can and a marinade. Oh definitely. How do you think

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>you would go in one of those blind tastings where

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>you have to pick if it's a bottle, if it's

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 1>a can, or if it is a McDonald's diet coke.

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I would be banging on like I'm pretty confident I

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 1>could tell the difference straightaway. Well, I think we should

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>put you to that test. I also consider myself a

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>coke zero and diet coke connoisseur. I challenge you. I

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 1>think we need a prize, so whoever loses has to

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>buy the winner a slab of diet coke.

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 3>What the hell? I never thought I would be thirty

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 3>four and get cheated on by a bloke that draws like.

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>What. Podcast host Lucy Jackson has dramatically split with her

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.679
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend Sam a day after he moved in The Happy Hour.

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Host broke the news on TikTok by miming this line

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>from the song man Eater.

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, you guys, du am a service.

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>He needs money, but there are now Over the top

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>of the video, she wrote looking for a roommate, so

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>her followers instantly news she was talking about Sam, and

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>in the comment section, one of the loyal punters wrote,

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>expose him, to which Lucy replied, he cheated on me

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and that's the beginning. Well, since that comment, Sam has

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>changed his username, so now when you search him, he

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 1>has no profile picture and his Instagram at handle just

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>reads user six ' five nine something along those lines.

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 1>He clearly does not want to cop the wrath of

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Lucy's fans. No, I don't think I would either. People

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.919
<v Speaker 1>have been so upset about this. I keep saying. It

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>posted in a ton of different Facebook groups, And I

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>think that the reason why people are so upset is

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 1>before Lucy met Sam, she said that she'd given up

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>on the whole idea of falling in love and she'd

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>been single for three years and she was very much

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>over the dating scene. But she gave Sam a go.

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 1>And it seemed like Sam was one of those guys

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:46.919
<v Speaker 1>that she wouldn't normally date because apparently she had a

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>huge ick list and her top three x were all

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>things that he did. What were they well? On their

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>first date he wore low cut vans and that was

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>literally at the top of her list that she hates

0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>low cut fans. He also can't eat spicy food, he

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>hates coriander, and he's a very fussy eater. And the

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>last one is that he doesn't cook. So these were

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a few red flags for her initially, and she still

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>gave the guy go. That's just unfair. I mean it

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of reiterates that maybe you should stick to some

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>of your ick list. But yeah, but when you're in

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a relationship, you sort of forget about those icks and

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.159
<v Speaker 1>you it's more important whether they're a nice persee, so

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 1>that becomes bigger issues, like when someone cheats on you. Well, exactly.

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.039
<v Speaker 1>The thing is these two men on hinge and it

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>was actually one of the first hinge dates that Lucy

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>went on the Gold Coast because before she would meet

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>people online but they were living into state. But this

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 1>was the first guy that she felt like things weren't

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.039
<v Speaker 1>complicated with. He just seemed like a nice guy. He

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't play any games. Is that a red flag in

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>itself as well, because sometimes the nice guys are the

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>bigger dickhead, So now we have to be cautious of

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the fuck boys and the nice guys well pretty much.

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, things didn't really go smooth staling at first though,

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>because Lucy said she kept fine reasons to not be

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.719
<v Speaker 1>with him. So when she got back, they started dating seriously,

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and you could tell that she really liked him because

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>she started sharing him on socials more, she started speaking

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>about him on her podcast. They also recently traveled to

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Europe together where they celebrated Nicki's Hen's party and there

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>was so many cute loved up videos of them in Italy,

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and Lucy opened up that you know, she was taking

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the chance and he was going to be moving in

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>with her. Well, the extra fucked bit was it was

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>only two weeks ago that they exchanged their first I

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>love yous and then Sam of course moved into the house. Well,

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the day after he moved in, this is when the

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>shit hit the fan, because they went out to dinner

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and Lucy discovered that he had been cheating on her

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>with multiple women. Here's what Lucy said on TikTok.

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 3>I found out on Wednesday night, after we'd gone out

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 3>for dinner that I'd been cheated on with multiple people,

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 3>not just one. And I think for the first like

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 3>forty eight hours, I was like really running off adrenaline

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 3>and like I was when I'm really sad or angry,

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 3>I like actually am pretty dark and like a bit funny.

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 3>So I think I've been like one of those funny

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 3>moods where you're kind of just like making a joke

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 3>out of it. Like last night I went out for

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 3>drinks with my girlfriends and I literally walked in and

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 3>was like, cheers to getting cheated on.

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 1>In twenty twenty four, It's interesting timing, and it makes

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>me wonder did Sam bring something incriminating into the house

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>when he moved in, Because sometimes when you live away

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>from your partner, you don't have access to say their

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>eye messages on their computer, and sometimes people can get

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>caught out when you say something incriminating. What did he

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>have a girl's pair of underpants? Maybe she's suddenly got

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 1>access to his phone. He's been out or here his

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>computer on his eye messages and seen incriminating messages. You

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 1>know what. Men are stupid though, Maybe he thought, well,

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 1>we've now said I love you, we're kind of official.

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Because of that, I'm moving in. Maybe I'll clear the

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>air and say, hey, whilst we weren't so serious, I

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>hooked up with a couple of girls. I think the

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>way that Lucy has reacted, though, doesn't tie in with

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>her being told about it. I think she's found out

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and she's angry. She said that she isn't usually an

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>oversharer on social media, but she felt compelled to document

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>her feelings through this breakup because she thought it might

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>help someone else who's going through something similar. She's probably

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 1>embarrassed as well, because she is very well known and

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like it was multiple people that he cheated

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>on her with, and the Gold Coast is small, like

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 1>everyone seems to know each other. She also said that

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>she wanted to share about it because she's never going

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to get back with Sam, so she has nothing to protect,

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and whilst she was trying to put on a brave face,

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.199
<v Speaker 1>it is clear that this breakup is affecting her more

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>than she'd like to lead on. Here's what she said.

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 3>I think this morning is the first time that I've

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 3>woken up and I feel like I truly feel like

0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 3>really sad. I'm also extremely hungover, which is probably not helping,

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 3>but like I'm just about to go to one of

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 3>my friend's baby showers, and I'm like, fuck, I was

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 3>just so ready to have like my person, Like I

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 3>think I was just like, you know, so ready to

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 3>move into that next chapter. And i just think I'm

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 3>just like, really, it's really hitting me today that I'm

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 3>like I could square one with it, Like I'd rather

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 3>be on my own than obviously be with someone who's

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.040
<v Speaker 3>cheating on me, like obviously, but I don't know. Today

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 3>it's the first day that I've just felt quite sad

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.839
<v Speaker 3>and just like really felt the like I like, can

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 3>feel lonely, and I kind of wish I could talk

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 3>to him about it and be comforted by him, even

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 3>though he's a person that did the wrong thing to me.

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that so many people could relate to that

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.319
<v Speaker 1>feeling of being back at square one. She'd just been

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 1>vulnerable and finally opened up to someone, and for him

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to then turn around and she on her with not

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 1>only one person, but multiple people when she thought, Wow,

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 1>this is a genuine nice guy I can actually see

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 1>myself with would be so heartbreaking. And also I saw

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>her saying that she'd actually put her walls down and

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>she tried not to be so down on men, like, yeah,

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>felt like she'd actually had this nice guy come into

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.439
<v Speaker 1>her life. And she was saying she doesn't then want

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 1>to turn back into kind of a quote man hater. Yeah,

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>she said she didn't want it to harden her. I

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>just think it's so tough being single in your thirties,

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>because particularly how she referenced that she was on her

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>way to a baby shower. It's really hard because all

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>these women are in different stages of their lives, but

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>you're the same age. Yeah, and it's hard not to

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>you're happy for your friends, but it'd also be hard

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 1>not to have a level of jealousy and think, well,

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 1>is this ever going to happen to me? If that's

0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>something that you want later in Yeah, and also the

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>fact that her best friend Nikki is getting married soon.

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>She's just been at her hen's party as well. It's

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 1>not good. I was really interested to look at the

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 1>comment section, and as we touched on earlier, she has

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 1>received an outpouring of support from listeners and they are

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>all backing her. I did spy Olivia Rogers calling Sam

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>a dirty dog under one of Lucy's videos, which is

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of interesting because you know how Morgan Waterhouse came

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 1>out and all of his friends sort of backed him up. Again,

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 1>this was in a different sentiment though, because this guy

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>has cheated, he's been public exposed. Well, yeah, this guy

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>is a dirty dog. I kind of love that Olivia

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>went there same. It was just sort of interesting the

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>irony of her ex's friends slagging her off as a

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.560
<v Speaker 1>difference between the way they spoke about Olivia, though, I

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like they spoke about her in such a disrespectful manner.

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Calling someone a dirty dog is a little bit difficult,

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>and how they spoke about her, and they were also

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:55.079
<v Speaker 1>hurling allegations at her. Yeah Now. On Sunday, Lucy gave

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>an update on her TikTok, and she explained that she'd

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>recorded a lot of videos, but she didn't want to

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 1>post them because she started feeling anxious about oversharing and

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 1>making matters worse, and she urged her followers not to

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>bully Sam or send him nasty comments, but reiterated that

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>she loved how loyal the punters were. Is it terrible

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>that I'm so nosy that I'm thinking, can she share

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>those videos?

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I really want to. I really want to know exactly

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>what happened. Surely they will address it on the podcast.

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that they will save it for the podcast.

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a regular Happy Hour listener, but I think

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I've got to start getting into it because this is

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be juicy when this unfolds. Oh, it will

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:37.080
<v Speaker 1>be one I will definitely be tuning into.

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 4>It's good to be open and honest about it, and

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm here to answer any questions.

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 1>After an anxious wait, Sky Wheatley re emerged on social

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>media three days after undergoing fox eye surgery in Turkey.

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>The former Big Brother contestant initially refused to show her

0:12:55.800 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 1>face in the healing stage, saying it looked too horrific now,

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>so if her radio silence left. Many fans consented, including you. Oh.

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I was feeling really unnerved about the whole thing. After

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:13.439
<v Speaker 1>our episode dropped on Tuesday. I just kept finding myself

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>revisiting her profile. I wanted to see how she was traveling.

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>We also usually put out promo clips for the episode,

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.319
<v Speaker 1>and I just didn't feel right about putting a reel

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 1>together about her surgery because I thought, what if something

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 1>has gone on. I became particularly concerned when I noticed

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>that her Instagram story had been taken down. So that

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>was a story of her being wheeled into surgery, and

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>in the photo she was in her hospital gown and

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 1>she wrote feel like I could vomit. Haha, it's happening now.

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>This wasn't up for twenty four hours. This was up

0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 1>for about nine hours, and then out of nowhere, it

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>had been removed, And I thought, oh my god, what

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>if the worst has happened and her family have gone

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.199
<v Speaker 1>into her account and removed it because they didn't want

0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.839
<v Speaker 1>to promote the clinic or the surge. Well, a lot

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>of her followers had the same thoughts because they were

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>commenting under her previous TikTok video and they were all

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.960
<v Speaker 1>discussing their concerns. So one said, is she okay? She

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been on in days, while another said I've been

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 1>checking now. Another person said, I know, I'm really worried too. Yeah. Well,

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 1>fears about Sky had really been amplified by TikToker Sharie

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Morris's horrifying experience in Turkey. So she is an Australian

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>makeup party. She has over five hundred thousand followers on TikTok. Now.

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 1>She recently traveled to Turkey to have a breast reduction

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>and lift, and she'd previously been there the year prior

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>to have a tummy tuck and for that surgery she

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 1>actually had a collaboration with another surgeon. Now, the breast

0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>reduction and lyft didn't go quite so well because forty

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 1>eight hours after the surgery, she started developing a fever

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and chills and her doctor told her to just turn

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the air conditioner down. He said, that's that's what the

0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 1>issue is. So she created a story time video detailing

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 1>what actually went down. She posted this in May and

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 1>it was very graphic if you do go and have

0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 1>a look at it. She showed a lot of close

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>up photos of an infection that was forming underneath the fold.

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Now let's go too far into it because it gets

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 1>really gross. Well no, but so she raised the concern

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 1>with her doctor, who said, you're fine and you're ready

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to board the flight home to Australia. So she flew

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>home in this state and she she had a photo.

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>It showed she had a T shirt on and the

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 1>back of the T shirt was drenched in blood. Once

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>she was back in Australia, she was rushed in for

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 1>emergency surgery and she had a ton of infections, the

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 1>worst being sepsis. So she was fighting for her life

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and she said, it's been the scariest thing I've ever experienced.

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm still fighting the infection, still recovering from the second surgery,

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and now have a machine attached twenty four to seven

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 1>to help me heal now after this experience, as you can,

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 1>And she said that she is done with surgery, full life.

0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Poor girl.

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 5>Now.

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I think everyone let out a collective sigh of relief

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>when Sky finally resurfaced three days later online and the

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 1>surgery sounded intense. Sky said she couldn't open her eyes

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 1>for three days, which explains why she wasn't able to

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 1>go onto her well. She revealed that she was quite

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 1>relieved because initially she was going to travel to Turkey

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 1>alone for the surgery, but she ended up taking a

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 1>friend with her who also got the Fox eye lift

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>and veneers. So she said that did they do it

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the same time? No, they did the videos first, but

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 1>she said that if she hadn't traveled with a friend,

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>she would have felt very unsafe being in a foreign

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 1>hospital with practically no eyesight. Now, once she was back

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>in her hotel room recovering, she shared a question box

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 1>encouraging her followers to submit questions about the surgery. But

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 1>at this point she hadn't actually shared a photo or

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.480
<v Speaker 1>video of what her face was like after the surgery. No,

0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and that was one of the top questions. So someone said,

0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 1>can we see what your face looks like after surgery?

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.080
<v Speaker 1>So she replied, showing her recovering in her hotel bed,

0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>but her face was strategically cut out of it, and

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>she wrote, Haha, Nah, it's horrific, but I know that

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>this is how it's going to look right now. I'm

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.199
<v Speaker 1>trusting the process. I've logged it all two so you

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.960
<v Speaker 1>guys can see each day what it looks like when

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I upload the video. I think the reason Sky was

0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 1>initially reluctant to show her face is because she knows

0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:33.680
<v Speaker 1>that publications like the Daily Mail are going to take

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.439
<v Speaker 1>that photo and they're going to plaster it everywhere and

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.720
<v Speaker 1>say the surgery is botched. They're not going to point

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 1>out that this is the healing stage.

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Even social media, i mean TikTok images of her face

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 1>looking like that would go viral. Yeah, and it's at

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.840
<v Speaker 1>its stage where it is going to look very inflamed

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and puffy. You've really got to give something like this

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.640
<v Speaker 1>probably a month for it to calm down now. Sky continued, saying,

0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 1>the only reason I'm documenting this is for other girls

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 1>undergoing surgery, because it's such a nice reassurance to see

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the beginning to the end is such an overwhelming process,

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.359
<v Speaker 1>but you've just got to wait it out and be

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 1>patient for the results. This makes me feel really uncomfortable.

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't necessarily have a problem with women

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:19.280
<v Speaker 1>documenting their surgeries to show others, but I do feel

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable with the way medical tourism is being promoted. Yeah,

0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.520
<v Speaker 1>because in a lot of instances, major surgery is being

0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.879
<v Speaker 1>marketed as this frivolous holiday with the goals. It's a

0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:31.880
<v Speaker 1>chance to fix all the things that you hate about

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:35.359
<v Speaker 1>yourself while you're sipping on cocktails at the pool. But

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:39.680
<v Speaker 1>in reality, you are undergoing major surgery that, in most

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 1>instances is being performed in a country where there's very

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.399
<v Speaker 1>different protocols and codes of ethics to what we have

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.440
<v Speaker 1>in Australia. And when we see cases like Sharie being

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:54.120
<v Speaker 1>spoken about, it shows just how dangerous it can be.

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I was really surprised to find out that Sky not

0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.920
<v Speaker 1>only had the fox eye lift, but she also had

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.639
<v Speaker 1>liposuction on her arm and inner thigh. So she wrote

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that her doctors said there wasn't much fat on her

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:10.440
<v Speaker 1>arms or legs, so they only took the slightest bit out. Now,

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.640
<v Speaker 1>one follower asked what we're all thinking and said, why

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.840
<v Speaker 1>did you get liposuction if you're really fit? And she

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.640
<v Speaker 1>replied saying, because it doesn't matter how fit you are,

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.640
<v Speaker 1>you're always gonna have areas of stubborn fat. And I'm

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>not actually that fit. Haha. Yes, I trained daily but

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 1>my diet isn't perfect. I'm too much of a sweet tooth.

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm obsessed with sugar and food in general. I'm a

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>big eater. Loll. He wasn't going to even do it,

0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.399
<v Speaker 1>he said, hardly any fat, But I insisted he's great.

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to do shit for the sake of it.

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 1>He's actually a great doctor. I love him. Doesn't that

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.639
<v Speaker 1>sound like he did just exactly what she said he

0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't do. Yeah, I know that's the thing. Like it's

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.400
<v Speaker 1>interesting that she confirmed that he wasn't going to do

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:52.399
<v Speaker 1>the liposuction, but that she convinced him. I mean, this

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't happen in Australia because there is a duty of care.

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Then Sky went on to explain that she actually thinks

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 1>she has body. This mor this is what she said.

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh but you're already beautiful, Like you didn't need that,

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 4>Like I'm telling you now, someone who wants to get

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.520
<v Speaker 4>something done does not need to be told that because

0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.159
<v Speaker 4>you're never going to see what they're seeing. And I

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:19.920
<v Speaker 4>know it's like a whole psychological, fucking shit show. And

0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:23.080
<v Speaker 4>I will be the first person to admit that, like, yeah,

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 4>maybe I do have body dysmorphia, and yeah, I have

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.200
<v Speaker 4>daddy issues, and yeah, maybe I've not dated the best

0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 4>guys who have always told me that I'm beautiful. But

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, besides that, it's something to do with me

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 4>and only me.

0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>This is just getting so troubling and very awkward to

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.560
<v Speaker 1>watch now. Sky confirmed that her partner Lockey, was supportive

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 1>over the surgery, but said that she was a fucking

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 1>idiot for getting it done, but he knew regardless of

0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:52.440
<v Speaker 1>what he said to Skuy, she was going to go

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:53.719
<v Speaker 1>ahead with it anyway.

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Aside from the body dysmorphia, Sky also said that she

0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:00.119
<v Speaker 1>believes she's addicted to plastic surgery. And I think think

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.400
<v Speaker 1>that this is the core reason that she has traveled

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to Turkey for this surgery. Because a lot of followers

0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 1>are saying, well, she's a highly paid influencer, surely she

0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 1>could afford surgery in Australia. But the reason that I

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 1>think she's going to the lengths of getting this done

0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:17.440
<v Speaker 1>in Turkey is because she knows that Australian surgeons would

0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:21.440
<v Speaker 1>be very unlikely to approve her for these procedures because

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>in Australia there's a code of conduct and that's been

0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:28.200
<v Speaker 1>developed by the Medical Border Australia, and within those guidelines

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:31.280
<v Speaker 1>it says that a medical practitioner has to assess the

0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:36.280
<v Speaker 1>patient for any underlying psychological conditions such as body dysmorphia,

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.360
<v Speaker 1>which may make them an unsuitable candidate. So she knows

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 1>if she goes into an Australian surgeon and asks for

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:44.919
<v Speaker 1>this list of procedures that she really doesn't need to

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.440
<v Speaker 1>get done, that they are going to say, sorry, we're

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:51.680
<v Speaker 1>not going to approve that. Well, interestingly, it's Sky's doctor

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.720
<v Speaker 1>that posted the first photo of her. So this was

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 1>on Monday and she was back in the studio where

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:01.239
<v Speaker 1>he showed a close up shot of the lift. And

0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:05.359
<v Speaker 1>I feel terrible, but I was very alarmed seeing this photo.

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:07.479
<v Speaker 1>I know it's less than a week after surgery and

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:11.040
<v Speaker 1>her face clearly hasn't healed properly, but it was quite shocking.

0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:11.640
<v Speaker 5>I've found the.

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Photo really confronting and quite upsetting. And again I have

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:17.480
<v Speaker 1>to remind myself that this is going to look very

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:21.160
<v Speaker 1>different because she's fresh from surgery. It's very puffy at

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the moment, but her eyebrows looked dramatically lifted and her

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.399
<v Speaker 1>eyes looked very lifted as well. It just did not

0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 1>look natural. In the caption, the doctor wrote, the job

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>is done now. If I was him, I would rather

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>show the results once things have settled down and she's

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:40.880
<v Speaker 1>had time to heal. I don't understand why you would

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.639
<v Speaker 1>show something when it's so raw. I'd be pissed off.

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:45.359
<v Speaker 1>If I was Sky, I'd want to be the first

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:48.440
<v Speaker 1>person sharing the photo and controlling what kind of photo

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:50.360
<v Speaker 1>that was, particularly when the media are going to pick

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 1>up that photo and run with it and it's not

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the actual end result that she's hoping to reveal. I've

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.520
<v Speaker 1>noticed a lot of commentary since that photo drop, so

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:02.680
<v Speaker 1>of people saying they're a bit uncomfortable because the foxy

0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 1>trend almost looks like cultural appropriation. And this has been

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.639
<v Speaker 1>an issue that has been raised for the last couple

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:11.159
<v Speaker 1>of years related to this trend. Well, that's because the

0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 1>whole point of the fox i trend is to lengthen

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:16.159
<v Speaker 1>the eye and to make it look very sleek and

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:21.399
<v Speaker 1>more slanted upwards, and that look does resemble natural Asian eyes.

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.040
<v Speaker 1>And as soon as this fox i trend started to

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:27.639
<v Speaker 1>become popular in twenty twenty, many people in the Asian

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:31.439
<v Speaker 1>community labeled it as cultural appropriation. Yeah, a lot of

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:33.840
<v Speaker 1>people in the Asian community have been saying that this

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:38.959
<v Speaker 1>is just another example of Eurocentric mainstream culture cherry picking

0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 1>ethnic features to look cool while treating and viewing the

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 1>ethnicity in question as inferior. I've been trying to put

0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.800
<v Speaker 1>my finger on why I feel uncomfortable about this trend

0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 1>for quite some time, and I think that this has

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:54.480
<v Speaker 1>perfectly articulated it, because it does really seem like Caucasian

0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:58.280
<v Speaker 1>women are picking out different cultural traits on other women

0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>that they like and taking it for themselves. And as

0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these writers have said, it's very offensive

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>because these are all traits that they've either been bullied

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:10.639
<v Speaker 1>or racially vilified for. And then we're seeing celebrities like

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Bella had Did or Megan Fox walking the red carpet

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:19.080
<v Speaker 1>using tape to appear almost Asian, and then's and that's

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:22.359
<v Speaker 1>the crazy thing about it is that Caucasian women don't

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.800
<v Speaker 1>naturally have this eye shape. So everyone's saying, Oh, it's

0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the Bella had Didn't. No, she's getting tape and taping

0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 1>her eyes like that. It's actually not something that Caucasian

0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:36.800
<v Speaker 1>women had generally, So it just shows how messed up

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:39.639
<v Speaker 1>this trend is. The whole irony is that as a

0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 1>result of racial persecution, many Asian women are going and

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:48.399
<v Speaker 1>getting double eyelid surgery, so it's the complete opposite. The

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:51.359
<v Speaker 1>aim is to create an eyelid crease, which results in

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:55.119
<v Speaker 1>a larger and more rounded eye. So basically, Asian women

0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:58.239
<v Speaker 1>are trying to have a more Western looking eye. And

0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 1>this is one of the most formed aesthetic procedures in Asia,

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's the third most requested cosmetic operations amongst Asian Americans.

0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:10.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm intrigued to see how Sky navigates this situation because

0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:13.520
<v Speaker 1>she's already made it clear she's going to continue to

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:17.679
<v Speaker 1>share about this controversial surgery on her TikTok page. It

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 1>means she is going to continue to cop criticism for

0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 1>this fox eye trend. And she is no stranger to controversy,

0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:27.159
<v Speaker 1>especially when it comes to cultural appropriation, so she is

0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 1>going to be one to watch.

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:31.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm literally.

0:25:33.960 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Tammy Hembro had the shock of her life when she

0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 1>spotted a large snake slithering across her living room floor.

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm shaking.

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm so glad.

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 5>I literally just put Posey in her room for a nap.

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 5>What that app Oh, I'm not equipped to this. We're

0:25:53.280 --> 0:25:54.720
<v Speaker 5>trying to hurt it outside.

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Tammy was in the middle of cleaning out her fridge

0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 1>in the kitchen when the snaw decided to pay her

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a visit, and by the time she pulled out her

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 1>phone to capture the snake in action, it had taken

0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:09.679
<v Speaker 1>refuge under her white couch and it was so gross

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:12.720
<v Speaker 1>because you could see its tail poking out the bottom.

0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Or we had a bit of a debate because I

0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:17.320
<v Speaker 1>think this is a tree snake, but you were convinced

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 1>it looked like a brown snake. Look, the reason I

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 1>thought it could be a brown snake is because she

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 1>lives at Broad Beach and that is a very well

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:27.320
<v Speaker 1>known spot for having a large population of Eastern brown snakes.

0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:29.399
<v Speaker 1>So I can assure you if this was a brown snake,

0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:32.120
<v Speaker 1>she would have got a snake catcher to get out.

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:33.920
<v Speaker 1>She wouldn't have just got a stick at it.

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Amy.

0:26:34.600 --> 0:26:37.280
<v Speaker 1>In this video, she literally says, I don't know what

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 1>to do. What am I supposed to do with it?

0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Some people have pointed out on TikTok that Tammy appears

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.040
<v Speaker 1>to have gone and run and got some thongs to

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:46.640
<v Speaker 1>put on They're like, I love that she got her

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 1>protective thongs because isn't it funny how like when you're

0:26:50.600 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>in bare feet, there's something about even just having a

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 1>pair of thongs on where you feel a bit safer

0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 1>when you feel vulnerable barefoot. Or she did decide to

0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:02.439
<v Speaker 1>go against getting a snake catcher, and she took the

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>matters into her own hands. So in this video on TikTok,

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>she showed herself alongside her sister Ava trying to herd

0:27:10.119 --> 0:27:13.679
<v Speaker 1>this snake out of the house, and in it, Ava

0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 1>considered at one point trying to pick up the snake

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 1>by its tail and throwing it out the door. Is

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:21.400
<v Speaker 1>this because there was a clip, it was a news

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:24.760
<v Speaker 1>video which went viral of this CCTV footage in someone's

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:28.679
<v Speaker 1>backyard where this snake grabbed onto someone's cat and she

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:30.880
<v Speaker 1>picked up that it was a rabbit. Wasn't that No,

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a cat. And she picked up

0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:36.160
<v Speaker 1>this snake and just like threw it basically to get

0:27:36.200 --> 0:27:39.159
<v Speaker 1>it away from her pet. Well possibly, I mean Tammy

0:27:39.200 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 1>screamed at Ava not to do it, and she was

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:43.680
<v Speaker 1>worried that the snake was going to bite her. So

0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Tammy instead proceeded to get a stick like it wasn't

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 1>like a tree stick, I don't know. It was a

0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:52.280
<v Speaker 1>lot long bit of wood and she tried to direct

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the snake with this stick out the door. It worked

0:27:55.600 --> 0:27:58.360
<v Speaker 1>quite well. At one point she got her daughter, Posey's

0:27:58.400 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 1>little toy car out and started too the hornet it

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 1>to try and herd it out the door. It's a

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:05.359
<v Speaker 1>tough one because I really think she should have just

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:09.119
<v Speaker 1>got a snake catcher involved, because it's stressful for the

0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:12.280
<v Speaker 1>snake to be in an environment where people are screaming

0:28:12.280 --> 0:28:15.440
<v Speaker 1>because they're very sensitive to noise. They are sensitive to noise.

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:17.320
<v Speaker 1>But if you're trying to hurt a snake out, it's

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 1>quite good to put a few vibrations into the ground.

0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:22.679
<v Speaker 1>I'd never get a snake catcher. They'll remove it immediately.

0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:25.159
<v Speaker 1>Snake went missing in your house. I think they were

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 1>keeping an eye on it and considering it started shifting

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:30.440
<v Speaker 1>towards the door, they thought, beauty, we'll get rid of it.

0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:32.920
<v Speaker 1>We'll close the door. The disturbing thing is a lot

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 1>of people in Tammy's TikTok comments section have been saying

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:40.280
<v Speaker 1>it looks like a baby snake, which means there are siblings,

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:42.720
<v Speaker 1>there's a mother, where are There's probably going to be

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:45.240
<v Speaker 1>more around her house. All I could think was where

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:47.959
<v Speaker 1>are her ragg dog cats? And in the video she

0:28:48.040 --> 0:28:50.040
<v Speaker 1>was actually holding on to one of them with a

0:28:50.080 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 1>snake on the ground and luckily she just put posey

0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to bed. So what a stressful situation. I bet a

0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:59.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of her US and UK followers were freaking out

0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:01.680
<v Speaker 1>seeing this or either thinking that this is something that

0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 1>happens just all the time in Australia.

0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:03.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I tend to think it's the ladder where people just think, oh,

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 1>every day, normal day. Well, she does live on a riverfront,

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:13.720
<v Speaker 1>she has this beautiful instagram a review of the city skyline,

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's probably not that uncommon for people on the

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Gold Coast to come across a snake. I know when

0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:24.000
<v Speaker 1>our mum lived in Queensland, her dad, our grandpa was

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 1>always having to get rid of snakes in their house. Well,

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:29.479
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people were asking where was Matt and

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:31.960
<v Speaker 1>some people were joking that he was hiding another room,

0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 1>but he must have been out. Well, I think that

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 1>is all we have time for today. Thank you so
