Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
Speaker 1: hottest influenza and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
Speaker 1: Amy Torber and coming up on today's show, Sky Wheatley
Speaker 1: shares her dramatic transformation following fox eye surgery, Lucy Jackson
Speaker 1: slams cheating boyfriend a day after he moved in, and
Speaker 1: Tammy Hembro turns into a snake catcher. But first, Sophy
Speaker 1: my TikTok for some reason has been serving me up
Speaker 1: a lot of content around diet coke at the moment,
Speaker 1: and there is a whole subculture of people who were
Speaker 1: just obsessed with trying to track down and create the
Speaker 1: crispiest diet coke. I don't know if you've seen this content.
Speaker 2: We have to have pabble dice and a glass cup,
Speaker 2: probably a glass cup that's been sitting in the freezer
Speaker 2: for a couple hours.
Speaker 1: We are sen in a glass strap.
Speaker 3: Do you hear how crispy that is?
Speaker 1: That's going to be a beautiful diet cup. Kind of
Speaker 1: get it. I would think that I'm a bit of
Speaker 1: a coke connoisseur. It is my drink of choice. I'm
Speaker 1: a coke, no sugar person, and I think that it
Speaker 1: tastes so different in a can, in a bottle, in
Speaker 1: a large bottle, from the tap. I mean it's the
Speaker 1: worst in the tap. There are some people on TikTok
Speaker 1: who love a McDonald's coke and they swear that that
Speaker 1: is the best way it surf, but personally, I think
Speaker 1: it's the worst. There's something in it that makes me
Speaker 1: need to go to the toilet for all the time.
Speaker 1: I think it's the ice that makes it taste really
Speaker 1: good though, because I'm saying I don't like it, no,
Speaker 1: but I actually do. I get around that more. I
Speaker 1: get it now because before I would have said no, no,
Speaker 1: in a can's best, but it's not. You need the ice.
Speaker 1: I think a can of coke can taste just as good,
Speaker 1: but it has to be really cold. And this is
Speaker 1: where one TikToker has come up with the theory of
Speaker 1: marinating a coke. So she's called Christine Hollinghouse, and basically
Speaker 1: her rule of thumb is that you have to keep
Speaker 1: a can of coke in the fridge upwards of ten
Speaker 1: days and then that's when it reaches its absolute peak
Speaker 1: coldness and crispiness. It has to be a bit misty
Speaker 1: on the outside of the can to be marinated enough
Speaker 1: to drink it.
Speaker 2: We take the day of coke, we put it in
Speaker 2: the fridge, We let it sit and marinate for multiple
Speaker 2: days at a time, and then you get this and
Speaker 2: it becomes crispy and delicious and it's marinated.
Speaker 1: My partner recently bought a slab of Cocono sugars, and
Speaker 1: we've had half sitting on top of the fridge and
Speaker 1: half in the fridge. And we got to the rotation
Speaker 1: where there was only one marinated coke left, and I
Speaker 1: put the bunch of warm cans in the fridge, thinking
Speaker 1: I've done the good deed. I'm calling these ones up.
Speaker 1: I will have the marinated can for dinner. But he's
Speaker 1: snuck in and got it first. And I can tell
Speaker 1: you that there is a big difference between a warm
Speaker 1: can and a marinade. Oh definitely. How do you think
Speaker 1: you would go in one of those blind tastings where
Speaker 1: you have to pick if it's a bottle, if it's
Speaker 1: a can, or if it is a McDonald's diet coke.
Speaker 1: I would be banging on like I'm pretty confident I
Speaker 1: could tell the difference straightaway. Well, I think we should
Speaker 1: put you to that test. I also consider myself a
Speaker 1: coke zero and diet coke connoisseur. I challenge you. I
Speaker 1: think we need a prize, so whoever loses has to
Speaker 1: buy the winner a slab of diet coke.
Speaker 3: What the hell? I never thought I would be thirty
Speaker 3: four and get cheated on by a bloke that draws like.
Speaker 1: What. Podcast host Lucy Jackson has dramatically split with her
Speaker 1: boyfriend Sam a day after he moved in The Happy Hour.
Speaker 1: Host broke the news on TikTok by miming this line
Speaker 1: from the song man Eater.
Speaker 4: Honestly, you guys, du am a service.
Speaker 1: He needs money, but there are now Over the top
Speaker 1: of the video, she wrote looking for a roommate, so
Speaker 1: her followers instantly news she was talking about Sam, and
Speaker 1: in the comment section, one of the loyal punters wrote,
Speaker 1: expose him, to which Lucy replied, he cheated on me
Speaker 1: and that's the beginning. Well, since that comment, Sam has
Speaker 1: changed his username, so now when you search him, he
Speaker 1: has no profile picture and his Instagram at handle just
Speaker 1: reads user six ' five nine something along those lines.
Speaker 1: He clearly does not want to cop the wrath of
Speaker 1: Lucy's fans. No, I don't think I would either. People
Speaker 1: have been so upset about this. I keep saying. It
Speaker 1: posted in a ton of different Facebook groups, And I
Speaker 1: think that the reason why people are so upset is
Speaker 1: before Lucy met Sam, she said that she'd given up
Speaker 1: on the whole idea of falling in love and she'd
Speaker 1: been single for three years and she was very much
Speaker 1: over the dating scene. But she gave Sam a go.
Speaker 1: And it seemed like Sam was one of those guys
Speaker 1: that she wouldn't normally date because apparently she had a
Speaker 1: huge ick list and her top three x were all
Speaker 1: things that he did. What were they well? On their
Speaker 1: first date he wore low cut vans and that was
Speaker 1: literally at the top of her list that she hates
Speaker 1: low cut fans. He also can't eat spicy food, he
Speaker 1: hates coriander, and he's a very fussy eater. And the
Speaker 1: last one is that he doesn't cook. So these were
Speaker 1: a few red flags for her initially, and she still
Speaker 1: gave the guy go. That's just unfair. I mean it
Speaker 1: kind of reiterates that maybe you should stick to some
Speaker 1: of your ick list. But yeah, but when you're in
Speaker 1: a relationship, you sort of forget about those icks and
Speaker 1: you it's more important whether they're a nice persee, so
Speaker 1: that becomes bigger issues, like when someone cheats on you. Well, exactly.
Speaker 1: The thing is these two men on hinge and it
Speaker 1: was actually one of the first hinge dates that Lucy
Speaker 1: went on the Gold Coast because before she would meet
Speaker 1: people online but they were living into state. But this
Speaker 1: was the first guy that she felt like things weren't
Speaker 1: complicated with. He just seemed like a nice guy. He
Speaker 1: didn't play any games. Is that a red flag in
Speaker 1: itself as well, because sometimes the nice guys are the
Speaker 1: bigger dickhead, So now we have to be cautious of
Speaker 1: the fuck boys and the nice guys well pretty much.
Speaker 1: I mean, things didn't really go smooth staling at first though,
Speaker 1: because Lucy said she kept fine reasons to not be
Speaker 1: with him. So when she got back, they started dating seriously,
Speaker 1: and you could tell that she really liked him because
Speaker 1: she started sharing him on socials more, she started speaking
Speaker 1: about him on her podcast. They also recently traveled to
Speaker 1: Europe together where they celebrated Nicki's Hen's party and there
Speaker 1: was so many cute loved up videos of them in Italy,
Speaker 1: and Lucy opened up that you know, she was taking
Speaker 1: the chance and he was going to be moving in
Speaker 1: with her. Well, the extra fucked bit was it was
Speaker 1: only two weeks ago that they exchanged their first I
Speaker 1: love yous and then Sam of course moved into the house. Well,
Speaker 1: the day after he moved in, this is when the
Speaker 1: shit hit the fan, because they went out to dinner
Speaker 1: and Lucy discovered that he had been cheating on her
Speaker 1: with multiple women. Here's what Lucy said on TikTok.
Speaker 3: I found out on Wednesday night, after we'd gone out
Speaker 3: for dinner that I'd been cheated on with multiple people,
Speaker 3: not just one. And I think for the first like
Speaker 3: forty eight hours, I was like really running off adrenaline
Speaker 3: and like I was when I'm really sad or angry,
Speaker 3: I like actually am pretty dark and like a bit funny.
Speaker 3: So I think I've been like one of those funny
Speaker 3: moods where you're kind of just like making a joke
Speaker 3: out of it. Like last night I went out for
Speaker 3: drinks with my girlfriends and I literally walked in and
Speaker 3: was like, cheers to getting cheated on.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, It's interesting timing, and it makes
Speaker 1: me wonder did Sam bring something incriminating into the house
Speaker 1: when he moved in, Because sometimes when you live away
Speaker 1: from your partner, you don't have access to say their
Speaker 1: eye messages on their computer, and sometimes people can get
Speaker 1: caught out when you say something incriminating. What did he
Speaker 1: have a girl's pair of underpants? Maybe she's suddenly got
Speaker 1: access to his phone. He's been out or here his
Speaker 1: computer on his eye messages and seen incriminating messages. You
Speaker 1: know what. Men are stupid though, Maybe he thought, well,
Speaker 1: we've now said I love you, we're kind of official.
Speaker 1: Because of that, I'm moving in. Maybe I'll clear the
Speaker 1: air and say, hey, whilst we weren't so serious, I
Speaker 1: hooked up with a couple of girls. I think the
Speaker 1: way that Lucy has reacted, though, doesn't tie in with
Speaker 1: her being told about it. I think she's found out
Speaker 1: and she's angry. She said that she isn't usually an
Speaker 1: oversharer on social media, but she felt compelled to document
Speaker 1: her feelings through this breakup because she thought it might
Speaker 1: help someone else who's going through something similar. She's probably
Speaker 1: embarrassed as well, because she is very well known and
Speaker 1: it sounds like it was multiple people that he cheated
Speaker 1: on her with, and the Gold Coast is small, like
Speaker 1: everyone seems to know each other. She also said that
Speaker 1: she wanted to share about it because she's never going
Speaker 1: to get back with Sam, so she has nothing to protect,
Speaker 1: and whilst she was trying to put on a brave face,
Speaker 1: it is clear that this breakup is affecting her more
Speaker 1: than she'd like to lead on. Here's what she said.
Speaker 3: I think this morning is the first time that I've
Speaker 3: woken up and I feel like I truly feel like
Speaker 3: really sad. I'm also extremely hungover, which is probably not helping,
Speaker 3: but like I'm just about to go to one of
Speaker 3: my friend's baby showers, and I'm like, fuck, I was
Speaker 3: just so ready to have like my person, Like I
Speaker 3: think I was just like, you know, so ready to
Speaker 3: move into that next chapter. And i just think I'm
Speaker 3: just like, really, it's really hitting me today that I'm
Speaker 3: like I could square one with it, Like I'd rather
Speaker 3: be on my own than obviously be with someone who's
Speaker 3: cheating on me, like obviously, but I don't know. Today
Speaker 3: it's the first day that I've just felt quite sad
Speaker 3: and just like really felt the like I like, can
Speaker 3: feel lonely, and I kind of wish I could talk
Speaker 3: to him about it and be comforted by him, even
Speaker 3: though he's a person that did the wrong thing to me.
Speaker 1: I think that so many people could relate to that
Speaker 1: feeling of being back at square one. She'd just been
Speaker 1: vulnerable and finally opened up to someone, and for him
Speaker 1: to then turn around and she on her with not
Speaker 1: only one person, but multiple people when she thought, Wow,
Speaker 1: this is a genuine nice guy I can actually see
Speaker 1: myself with would be so heartbreaking. And also I saw
Speaker 1: her saying that she'd actually put her walls down and
Speaker 1: she tried not to be so down on men, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: felt like she'd actually had this nice guy come into
Speaker 1: her life. And she was saying she doesn't then want
Speaker 1: to turn back into kind of a quote man hater. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she said she didn't want it to harden her. I
Speaker 1: just think it's so tough being single in your thirties,
Speaker 1: because particularly how she referenced that she was on her
Speaker 1: way to a baby shower. It's really hard because all
Speaker 1: these women are in different stages of their lives, but
Speaker 1: you're the same age. Yeah, and it's hard not to
Speaker 1: you're happy for your friends, but it'd also be hard
Speaker 1: not to have a level of jealousy and think, well,
Speaker 1: is this ever going to happen to me? If that's
Speaker 1: something that you want later in Yeah, and also the
Speaker 1: fact that her best friend Nikki is getting married soon.
Speaker 1: She's just been at her hen's party as well. It's
Speaker 1: not good. I was really interested to look at the
Speaker 1: comment section, and as we touched on earlier, she has
Speaker 1: received an outpouring of support from listeners and they are
Speaker 1: all backing her. I did spy Olivia Rogers calling Sam
Speaker 1: a dirty dog under one of Lucy's videos, which is
Speaker 1: kind of interesting because you know how Morgan Waterhouse came
Speaker 1: out and all of his friends sort of backed him up. Again,
Speaker 1: this was in a different sentiment though, because this guy
Speaker 1: has cheated, he's been public exposed. Well, yeah, this guy
Speaker 1: is a dirty dog. I kind of love that Olivia
Speaker 1: went there same. It was just sort of interesting the
Speaker 1: irony of her ex's friends slagging her off as a
Speaker 1: difference between the way they spoke about Olivia, though, I
Speaker 1: feel like they spoke about her in such a disrespectful manner.
Speaker 1: Calling someone a dirty dog is a little bit difficult,
Speaker 1: and how they spoke about her, and they were also
Speaker 1: hurling allegations at her. Yeah Now. On Sunday, Lucy gave
Speaker 1: an update on her TikTok, and she explained that she'd
Speaker 1: recorded a lot of videos, but she didn't want to
Speaker 1: post them because she started feeling anxious about oversharing and
Speaker 1: making matters worse, and she urged her followers not to
Speaker 1: bully Sam or send him nasty comments, but reiterated that
Speaker 1: she loved how loyal the punters were. Is it terrible
Speaker 1: that I'm so nosy that I'm thinking, can she share
Speaker 1: those videos?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I really want to. I really want to know exactly
Speaker 1: what happened. Surely they will address it on the podcast.
Speaker 1: I think that they will save it for the podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm not a regular Happy Hour listener, but I think
Speaker 1: I've got to start getting into it because this is
Speaker 1: going to be juicy when this unfolds. Oh, it will
Speaker 1: be one I will definitely be tuning into.
Speaker 4: It's good to be open and honest about it, and
Speaker 4: I'm here to answer any questions.
Speaker 1: After an anxious wait, Sky Wheatley re emerged on social
Speaker 1: media three days after undergoing fox eye surgery in Turkey.
Speaker 1: The former Big Brother contestant initially refused to show her
Speaker 1: face in the healing stage, saying it looked too horrific now,
Speaker 1: so if her radio silence left. Many fans consented, including you. Oh.
Speaker 1: I was feeling really unnerved about the whole thing. After
Speaker 1: our episode dropped on Tuesday. I just kept finding myself
Speaker 1: revisiting her profile. I wanted to see how she was traveling.
Speaker 1: We also usually put out promo clips for the episode,
Speaker 1: and I just didn't feel right about putting a reel
Speaker 1: together about her surgery because I thought, what if something
Speaker 1: has gone on. I became particularly concerned when I noticed
Speaker 1: that her Instagram story had been taken down. So that
Speaker 1: was a story of her being wheeled into surgery, and
Speaker 1: in the photo she was in her hospital gown and
Speaker 1: she wrote feel like I could vomit. Haha, it's happening now.
Speaker 1: This wasn't up for twenty four hours. This was up
Speaker 1: for about nine hours, and then out of nowhere, it
Speaker 1: had been removed, And I thought, oh my god, what
Speaker 1: if the worst has happened and her family have gone
Speaker 1: into her account and removed it because they didn't want
Speaker 1: to promote the clinic or the surge. Well, a lot
Speaker 1: of her followers had the same thoughts because they were
Speaker 1: commenting under her previous TikTok video and they were all
Speaker 1: discussing their concerns. So one said, is she okay? She
Speaker 1: hasn't been on in days, while another said I've been
Speaker 1: checking now. Another person said, I know, I'm really worried too. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: fears about Sky had really been amplified by TikToker Sharie
Speaker 1: Morris's horrifying experience in Turkey. So she is an Australian
Speaker 1: makeup party. She has over five hundred thousand followers on TikTok. Now.
Speaker 1: She recently traveled to Turkey to have a breast reduction
Speaker 1: and lift, and she'd previously been there the year prior
Speaker 1: to have a tummy tuck and for that surgery she
Speaker 1: actually had a collaboration with another surgeon. Now, the breast
Speaker 1: reduction and lyft didn't go quite so well because forty
Speaker 1: eight hours after the surgery, she started developing a fever
Speaker 1: and chills and her doctor told her to just turn
Speaker 1: the air conditioner down. He said, that's that's what the
Speaker 1: issue is. So she created a story time video detailing
Speaker 1: what actually went down. She posted this in May and
Speaker 1: it was very graphic if you do go and have
Speaker 1: a look at it. She showed a lot of close
Speaker 1: up photos of an infection that was forming underneath the fold.
Speaker 1: Now let's go too far into it because it gets
Speaker 1: really gross. Well no, but so she raised the concern
Speaker 1: with her doctor, who said, you're fine and you're ready
Speaker 1: to board the flight home to Australia. So she flew
Speaker 1: home in this state and she she had a photo.
Speaker 1: It showed she had a T shirt on and the
Speaker 1: back of the T shirt was drenched in blood. Once
Speaker 1: she was back in Australia, she was rushed in for
Speaker 1: emergency surgery and she had a ton of infections, the
Speaker 1: worst being sepsis. So she was fighting for her life
Speaker 1: and she said, it's been the scariest thing I've ever experienced.
Speaker 1: I'm still fighting the infection, still recovering from the second surgery,
Speaker 1: and now have a machine attached twenty four to seven
Speaker 1: to help me heal now after this experience, as you can,
Speaker 1: And she said that she is done with surgery, full life.
Speaker 1: Poor girl.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: I think everyone let out a collective sigh of relief
Speaker 1: when Sky finally resurfaced three days later online and the
Speaker 1: surgery sounded intense. Sky said she couldn't open her eyes
Speaker 1: for three days, which explains why she wasn't able to
Speaker 1: go onto her well. She revealed that she was quite
Speaker 1: relieved because initially she was going to travel to Turkey
Speaker 1: alone for the surgery, but she ended up taking a
Speaker 1: friend with her who also got the Fox eye lift
Speaker 1: and veneers. So she said that did they do it
Speaker 1: the same time? No, they did the videos first, but
Speaker 1: she said that if she hadn't traveled with a friend,
Speaker 1: she would have felt very unsafe being in a foreign
Speaker 1: hospital with practically no eyesight. Now, once she was back
Speaker 1: in her hotel room recovering, she shared a question box
Speaker 1: encouraging her followers to submit questions about the surgery. But
Speaker 1: at this point she hadn't actually shared a photo or
Speaker 1: video of what her face was like after the surgery. No,
Speaker 1: and that was one of the top questions. So someone said,
Speaker 1: can we see what your face looks like after surgery?
Speaker 1: So she replied, showing her recovering in her hotel bed,
Speaker 1: but her face was strategically cut out of it, and
Speaker 1: she wrote, Haha, Nah, it's horrific, but I know that
Speaker 1: this is how it's going to look right now. I'm
Speaker 1: trusting the process. I've logged it all two so you
Speaker 1: guys can see each day what it looks like when
Speaker 1: I upload the video. I think the reason Sky was
Speaker 1: initially reluctant to show her face is because she knows
Speaker 1: that publications like the Daily Mail are going to take
Speaker 1: that photo and they're going to plaster it everywhere and
Speaker 1: say the surgery is botched. They're not going to point
Speaker 1: out that this is the healing stage.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Even social media, i mean TikTok images of her face
Speaker 1: looking like that would go viral. Yeah, and it's at
Speaker 1: its stage where it is going to look very inflamed
Speaker 1: and puffy. You've really got to give something like this
Speaker 1: probably a month for it to calm down now. Sky continued, saying,
Speaker 1: the only reason I'm documenting this is for other girls
Speaker 1: undergoing surgery, because it's such a nice reassurance to see
Speaker 1: the beginning to the end is such an overwhelming process,
Speaker 1: but you've just got to wait it out and be
Speaker 1: patient for the results. This makes me feel really uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't necessarily have a problem with women
Speaker 1: documenting their surgeries to show others, but I do feel
Speaker 1: uncomfortable with the way medical tourism is being promoted. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because in a lot of instances, major surgery is being
Speaker 1: marketed as this frivolous holiday with the goals. It's a
Speaker 1: chance to fix all the things that you hate about
Speaker 1: yourself while you're sipping on cocktails at the pool. But
Speaker 1: in reality, you are undergoing major surgery that, in most
Speaker 1: instances is being performed in a country where there's very
Speaker 1: different protocols and codes of ethics to what we have
Speaker 1: in Australia. And when we see cases like Sharie being
Speaker 1: spoken about, it shows just how dangerous it can be.
Speaker 1: I was really surprised to find out that Sky not
Speaker 1: only had the fox eye lift, but she also had
Speaker 1: liposuction on her arm and inner thigh. So she wrote
Speaker 1: that her doctors said there wasn't much fat on her
Speaker 1: arms or legs, so they only took the slightest bit out. Now,
Speaker 1: one follower asked what we're all thinking and said, why
Speaker 1: did you get liposuction if you're really fit? And she
Speaker 1: replied saying, because it doesn't matter how fit you are,
Speaker 1: you're always gonna have areas of stubborn fat. And I'm
Speaker 1: not actually that fit. Haha. Yes, I trained daily but
Speaker 1: my diet isn't perfect. I'm too much of a sweet tooth.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with sugar and food in general. I'm a
Speaker 1: big eater. Loll. He wasn't going to even do it,
Speaker 1: he said, hardly any fat, But I insisted he's great.
Speaker 1: He's not going to do shit for the sake of it.
Speaker 1: He's actually a great doctor. I love him. Doesn't that
Speaker 1: sound like he did just exactly what she said he
Speaker 1: wouldn't do. Yeah, I know that's the thing. Like it's
Speaker 1: interesting that she confirmed that he wasn't going to do
Speaker 1: the liposuction, but that she convinced him. I mean, this
Speaker 1: wouldn't happen in Australia because there is a duty of care.
Speaker 1: Then Sky went on to explain that she actually thinks
Speaker 1: she has body. This mor this is what she said.
Speaker 4: Oh but you're already beautiful, Like you didn't need that,
Speaker 4: Like I'm telling you now, someone who wants to get
Speaker 4: something done does not need to be told that because
Speaker 4: you're never going to see what they're seeing. And I
Speaker 4: know it's like a whole psychological, fucking shit show. And
Speaker 4: I will be the first person to admit that, like, yeah,
Speaker 4: maybe I do have body dysmorphia, and yeah, I have
Speaker 4: daddy issues, and yeah, maybe I've not dated the best
Speaker 4: guys who have always told me that I'm beautiful. But
Speaker 4: I mean, besides that, it's something to do with me
Speaker 4: and only me.
Speaker 1: This is just getting so troubling and very awkward to
Speaker 1: watch now. Sky confirmed that her partner Lockey, was supportive
Speaker 1: over the surgery, but said that she was a fucking
Speaker 1: idiot for getting it done, but he knew regardless of
Speaker 1: what he said to Skuy, she was going to go
Speaker 1: ahead with it anyway.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: Aside from the body dysmorphia, Sky also said that she
Speaker 1: believes she's addicted to plastic surgery. And I think think
Speaker 1: that this is the core reason that she has traveled
Speaker 1: to Turkey for this surgery. Because a lot of followers
Speaker 1: are saying, well, she's a highly paid influencer, surely she
Speaker 1: could afford surgery in Australia. But the reason that I
Speaker 1: think she's going to the lengths of getting this done
Speaker 1: in Turkey is because she knows that Australian surgeons would
Speaker 1: be very unlikely to approve her for these procedures because
Speaker 1: in Australia there's a code of conduct and that's been
Speaker 1: developed by the Medical Border Australia, and within those guidelines
Speaker 1: it says that a medical practitioner has to assess the
Speaker 1: patient for any underlying psychological conditions such as body dysmorphia,
Speaker 1: which may make them an unsuitable candidate. So she knows
Speaker 1: if she goes into an Australian surgeon and asks for
Speaker 1: this list of procedures that she really doesn't need to
Speaker 1: get done, that they are going to say, sorry, we're
Speaker 1: not going to approve that. Well, interestingly, it's Sky's doctor
Speaker 1: that posted the first photo of her. So this was
Speaker 1: on Monday and she was back in the studio where
Speaker 1: he showed a close up shot of the lift. And
Speaker 1: I feel terrible, but I was very alarmed seeing this photo.
Speaker 1: I know it's less than a week after surgery and
Speaker 1: her face clearly hasn't healed properly, but it was quite shocking.
Speaker 5: I've found the.
Speaker 1: Photo really confronting and quite upsetting. And again I have
Speaker 1: to remind myself that this is going to look very
Speaker 1: different because she's fresh from surgery. It's very puffy at
Speaker 1: the moment, but her eyebrows looked dramatically lifted and her
Speaker 1: eyes looked very lifted as well. It just did not
Speaker 1: look natural. In the caption, the doctor wrote, the job
Speaker 1: is done now. If I was him, I would rather
Speaker 1: show the results once things have settled down and she's
Speaker 1: had time to heal. I don't understand why you would
Speaker 1: show something when it's so raw. I'd be pissed off.
Speaker 1: If I was Sky, I'd want to be the first
Speaker 1: person sharing the photo and controlling what kind of photo
Speaker 1: that was, particularly when the media are going to pick
Speaker 1: up that photo and run with it and it's not
Speaker 1: the actual end result that she's hoping to reveal. I've
Speaker 1: noticed a lot of commentary since that photo drop, so
Speaker 1: of people saying they're a bit uncomfortable because the foxy
Speaker 1: trend almost looks like cultural appropriation. And this has been
Speaker 1: an issue that has been raised for the last couple
Speaker 1: of years related to this trend. Well, that's because the
Speaker 1: whole point of the fox i trend is to lengthen
Speaker 1: the eye and to make it look very sleek and
Speaker 1: more slanted upwards, and that look does resemble natural Asian eyes.
Speaker 1: And as soon as this fox i trend started to
Speaker 1: become popular in twenty twenty, many people in the Asian
Speaker 1: community labeled it as cultural appropriation. Yeah, a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the Asian community have been saying that this
Speaker 1: is just another example of Eurocentric mainstream culture cherry picking
Speaker 1: ethnic features to look cool while treating and viewing the
Speaker 1: ethnicity in question as inferior. I've been trying to put
Speaker 1: my finger on why I feel uncomfortable about this trend
Speaker 1: for quite some time, and I think that this has
Speaker 1: perfectly articulated it, because it does really seem like Caucasian
Speaker 1: women are picking out different cultural traits on other women
Speaker 1: that they like and taking it for themselves. And as
Speaker 1: a lot of these writers have said, it's very offensive
Speaker 1: because these are all traits that they've either been bullied
Speaker 1: or racially vilified for. And then we're seeing celebrities like
Speaker 1: Bella had Did or Megan Fox walking the red carpet
Speaker 1: using tape to appear almost Asian, and then's and that's
Speaker 1: the crazy thing about it is that Caucasian women don't
Speaker 1: naturally have this eye shape. So everyone's saying, Oh, it's
Speaker 1: the Bella had Didn't. No, she's getting tape and taping
Speaker 1: her eyes like that. It's actually not something that Caucasian
Speaker 1: women had generally, So it just shows how messed up
Speaker 1: this trend is. The whole irony is that as a
Speaker 1: result of racial persecution, many Asian women are going and
Speaker 1: getting double eyelid surgery, so it's the complete opposite. The
Speaker 1: aim is to create an eyelid crease, which results in
Speaker 1: a larger and more rounded eye. So basically, Asian women
Speaker 1: are trying to have a more Western looking eye. And
Speaker 1: this is one of the most formed aesthetic procedures in Asia,
Speaker 1: and it's the third most requested cosmetic operations amongst Asian Americans.
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued to see how Sky navigates this situation because
Speaker 1: she's already made it clear she's going to continue to
Speaker 1: share about this controversial surgery on her TikTok page. It
Speaker 1: means she is going to continue to cop criticism for
Speaker 1: this fox eye trend. And she is no stranger to controversy,
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to cultural appropriation, so she is
Speaker 1: going to be one to watch.
Speaker 5: I'm literally.
Speaker 1: Tammy Hembro had the shock of her life when she
Speaker 1: spotted a large snake slithering across her living room floor.
Speaker 1: I'm shaking.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad.
Speaker 5: I literally just put Posey in her room for a nap.
Speaker 5: What that app Oh, I'm not equipped to this. We're
Speaker 5: trying to hurt it outside.
Speaker 1: Tammy was in the middle of cleaning out her fridge
Speaker 1: in the kitchen when the snaw decided to pay her
Speaker 1: a visit, and by the time she pulled out her
Speaker 1: phone to capture the snake in action, it had taken
Speaker 1: refuge under her white couch and it was so gross
Speaker 1: because you could see its tail poking out the bottom.
Speaker 1: Or we had a bit of a debate because I
Speaker 1: think this is a tree snake, but you were convinced
Speaker 1: it looked like a brown snake. Look, the reason I
Speaker 1: thought it could be a brown snake is because she
Speaker 1: lives at Broad Beach and that is a very well
Speaker 1: known spot for having a large population of Eastern brown snakes.
Speaker 1: So I can assure you if this was a brown snake,
Speaker 1: she would have got a snake catcher to get out.
Speaker 1: She wouldn't have just got a stick at it.
Speaker 3: Amy.
Speaker 1: In this video, she literally says, I don't know what
Speaker 1: to do. What am I supposed to do with it?
Speaker 1: Some people have pointed out on TikTok that Tammy appears
Speaker 1: to have gone and run and got some thongs to
Speaker 1: put on They're like, I love that she got her
Speaker 1: protective thongs because isn't it funny how like when you're
Speaker 1: in bare feet, there's something about even just having a
Speaker 1: pair of thongs on where you feel a bit safer
Speaker 1: when you feel vulnerable barefoot. Or she did decide to
Speaker 1: go against getting a snake catcher, and she took the
Speaker 1: matters into her own hands. So in this video on TikTok,
Speaker 1: she showed herself alongside her sister Ava trying to herd
Speaker 1: this snake out of the house, and in it, Ava
Speaker 1: considered at one point trying to pick up the snake
Speaker 1: by its tail and throwing it out the door. Is
Speaker 1: this because there was a clip, it was a news
Speaker 1: video which went viral of this CCTV footage in someone's
Speaker 1: backyard where this snake grabbed onto someone's cat and she
Speaker 1: picked up that it was a rabbit. Wasn't that No,
Speaker 1: I think it was a cat. And she picked up
Speaker 1: this snake and just like threw it basically to get
Speaker 1: it away from her pet. Well possibly, I mean Tammy
Speaker 1: screamed at Ava not to do it, and she was
Speaker 1: worried that the snake was going to bite her. So
Speaker 1: Tammy instead proceeded to get a stick like it wasn't
Speaker 1: like a tree stick, I don't know. It was a
Speaker 1: lot long bit of wood and she tried to direct
Speaker 1: the snake with this stick out the door. It worked
Speaker 1: quite well. At one point she got her daughter, Posey's
Speaker 1: little toy car out and started too the hornet it
Speaker 1: to try and herd it out the door. It's a
Speaker 1: tough one because I really think she should have just
Speaker 1: got a snake catcher involved, because it's stressful for the
Speaker 1: snake to be in an environment where people are screaming
Speaker 1: because they're very sensitive to noise. They are sensitive to noise.
Speaker 1: But if you're trying to hurt a snake out, it's
Speaker 1: quite good to put a few vibrations into the ground.
Speaker 1: I'd never get a snake catcher. They'll remove it immediately.
Speaker 1: Snake went missing in your house. I think they were
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on it and considering it started shifting
Speaker 1: towards the door, they thought, beauty, we'll get rid of it.
Speaker 1: We'll close the door. The disturbing thing is a lot
Speaker 1: of people in Tammy's TikTok comments section have been saying
Speaker 1: it looks like a baby snake, which means there are siblings,
Speaker 1: there's a mother, where are There's probably going to be
Speaker 1: more around her house. All I could think was where
Speaker 1: are her ragg dog cats? And in the video she
Speaker 1: was actually holding on to one of them with a
Speaker 1: snake on the ground and luckily she just put posey
Speaker 1: to bed. So what a stressful situation. I bet a
Speaker 1: lot of her US and UK followers were freaking out
Speaker 1: seeing this or either thinking that this is something that
Speaker 1: happens just all the time in Australia.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I tend to think it's the ladder where people just think, oh,
Speaker 1: every day, normal day. Well, she does live on a riverfront,
Speaker 1: she has this beautiful instagram a review of the city skyline,
Speaker 1: and it's probably not that uncommon for people on the
Speaker 1: Gold Coast to come across a snake. I know when
Speaker 1: our mum lived in Queensland, her dad, our grandpa was
Speaker 1: always having to get rid of snakes in their house. Well,
Speaker 1: a lot of people were asking where was Matt and
Speaker 1: some people were joking that he was hiding another room,
Speaker 1: but he must have been out. Well, I think that
Speaker 1: is all we have time for today. Thank you so
