WEBVTT - The Photoshop Fail 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:08.280 Coming up on today's show, Sarah's Day says book Topia 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.360 is holding her cookbooks hostage, why fans are convinced Anna 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:17.440 Paul's family friend is actually her boyfriend, Tully Smythe's photoshop fail, 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.800 and Shany Grimm returns to vlogging, But first. A clip 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:25.040 of Rachel Dylan's sister singing at her wedding is dividing 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.720 the Internet. At the time of recording, the clip has 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.560 wrapped up over one million views and has had seven 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:34.600 thousand send ons. Whilst many people have praised the special 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.920 sister moment, other corners of the internet have mocked the 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.840 bridesmaids singing ability. Let's throw to the clip. 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.400 I would now like to sing a song dedicated to 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:49.880 Rachel and Toby and their love story. Sister, I'm gonna 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:58.800 crash fan me Forchue thattching see for all the joy, 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.120 bring my land. 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:08.080 For all the road that you may right, ho every 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:13.400 dream you may come true, For all the line I 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:22.040 found in you, I'll be for the things for baby. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:22.840 You are the world. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:27.520 Have me up and now let me fall. 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:29.679 Now. 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.440 A lot of people in our Facebook community have been 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.559 talking about this clip and it has been a highly 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.120 requested topic for us to cover. Yeah, this thread got 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.199 pretty heated. It actually got removed by the original poster 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.480 because they were copying a lot of flak because people 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.960 thought they were being somewhat judgmental and negative towards Emma's 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.080 singing abilities. Yes, so before we get into our thoughts, 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.080 I want to point out that Rachel is also an influencer. 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.520 She has over four hundred thousand followers, and the sisters 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.000 have been sharing content alongside each other, and I think 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.920 that is why people feel comfortable to comment on her 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.840 singing abilities. I think if this had just been a 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.160 family member who didn't have a public profile, people felt 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.600 differently about it. Yeah, and Emma is also not a 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.760 professional singer. However, Rachel has said that one of her 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.959 favorite memories from childhood is watching her sister singing at recitals. 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.639 Following Rachel's post, there were a couple of people who 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.120 accused Emma of trying to steal Rachel's spotlight. And I 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.080 feel like we have as a society become obsessed with 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.519 this concept that when someone has a wedding, there's people 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.000 out there in their own family and their own friendship 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.880 group who are out to get them. When it is 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.920 just not the case that all. Generally, most people want 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.680 their sister to have the best day possible, and Rachel 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.560 asked her sister to perform at her wedding, so she 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.480 obviously wasn't concerned about her stealing the spotlight. Yeah, that 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.000 is a very important point because Rachel was quite surprised 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.200 when Emma said yes, and she was so grateful and 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.960 so happy because Emma is really putting herself out there. 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.720 This is an enormous moment, not only in the life 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.600 of her sister, but it's an enormous social media moment 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.920 because there were so many eyeballs on this wedding. And 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.359 as you can hear in the clip, Emma appears incredibly 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.520 nervous and at the start of the song she almost 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.919 breaks down in tears, and you can see she really 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.720 has to pull herself together to actually get through the song, 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.960 and at a few points her voice cracks in the song, 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.480 which I actually think added a lot of emotion to it. 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.400 It reminds me of when Kurt Till's surprised Sarah's Day 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.400 with a performance at their wedding. So we got up 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.960 on stage and he got into the first line and 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.200 just broke down into tears, but I think it's all 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.200 about the recovery. The fact that both Kurt and Emma 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.080 were able to recover and then do the whole song 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.480 in front of a large group of people is pretty commendable. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.240 But this is giving me flashbacks to perform my wedding. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.240 My husband Dale told me that he had been thinking 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.000 of performing a song at our wedding, and it was 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.640 at that moment I thought, do I even know you? Like, 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:59.600 he's never once sung professionally or sung at any point 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.600 other than in the car. Yeah, I have never personally 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.200 heard him sing. I mean we've had many bonfires together, 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:06.920 and it's not like he's the guy that will grabbed 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.800 the guitar and start singing along. There is something a 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.720 little bit cringe, I have to say when a friend 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.560 or family member does go up to sing. And I 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.240 think that's what people were projecting on this moment because 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.359 you can kind of see in the crowd a few 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.560 awkward faces, not because it was a bad performance, but 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.960 it's kind of that moment where you're like, as an 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.520 audience member, don't laugh or you kind of you almost 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.080 feel anxious for the person that's put themselves out. I 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.320 don't think that the videographer when they edited this clip 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.640 was aware that they flashed to this crowd member who 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.520 almost looked stunned or as if he was like, what 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.159 the fuck is going on? Like I don't think he 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.040 meant to have that expression, but that's how it came across. 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.800 I also don't think that it helped that the microphone 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.600 seemed to have this weird echoy effect on it, and 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:55.360 because she was singing archipella, she was singing really loudly 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.280 so that everyone could hear, but then her voice was 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.680 too loud for the microphone, so it was blow. Yeah, 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.560 you're right. I think people were being critical not of 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.800 her voice, but it was actually the audio that let 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.159 her down, because she actually had a really nice voice. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.599 It has a very pleasant voice, and it would have 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.800 taken a lot of courage to get up there. This 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.960 song was also a Selene Dion song, not particularly easy 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.400 to sing, no, and it was archapella. That's what really 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.599 shocked me. With the amount of money that they probably 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.320 poured into this wedding, could they get the poor girl 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.000 a band because she looked so lonely standing there. I 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.080 thought I was going to say, the awkwardness of it 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:31.760 I thought you were going to say, could they have 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.120 at least afforded Selene Dion to perform? Well, No, I 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.599 mean poor Selene Dion is having issues with their voice 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.320 at the moment, so she wouldn't be able to hit 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.559 these notes as well well. Toby wrote on social media 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.839 that this was a beautiful moment for us all to 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.600 experience for so many reasons. That even more impressive than 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.000 your voice and love, Emma, is the courage you put 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.640 forward to share this with us. Thank you so much. 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:56.160 Rachel added couldn't agree more. We are so lucky, and 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:57.680 I just think, at the end of the day, if 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.719 this couple was happy with it, what else matters. 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.320 I don't take it too seriously because God only knows 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:05.960 if I looked at their photos what they look like 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:06.640 and in real lame. 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.839 I also don't care like it is what it is. 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.680 Popular Instagram account Celebt's Spellcheck has dusted off the cobwebs 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:18.200 to critique and Ossie influences horrendous photoshop fail. Whilst the 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:23.080 popular account occasionally posts about a list celebrities and nostalgic content, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.159 she hasn't directed her attention to Ozsie influences for over 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.520 a year now now the influenza in her sight was 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:35.240 former Big Brother contestant and OG influencer Tully Smythe and 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.360 the photo was a mirror selfie. So in it, Tully 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.440 was wearing a slinky black dress with cutouts yeah, and 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.039 the lower half of her body looked completely warmed. It 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.160 almost looked as though she was missing a leg, and 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.839 the normally flat floor looked like it had this massive 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.960 speed bump running through it. Now Celeb'spellcheck also shared a 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.120 second photo of Tully in the same dress, which was 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.800 posted to her in Instagram story, and this time it 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.560 was a bathroom selfie which appeared to have a crooked 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.040 door in it. So in the post, celebs Spelcheck asked 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.680 her audience if they tell their friend to take down 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.360 an obviously photoshopped post, It's safe to say that people 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.000 are happy that celeb spellcheck is back, because the comment 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.119 section was full, so one person joke that the floor 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.160 looked like their local skate park, while another suggested that 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.640 maybe Tully got her mirror from a clear out sale 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.120 at Lunar Park. There were also other eagle eyed followers 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.440 who were taking the opportunity to zoom in on the 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.880 photo more and point out other possible photoshop mishaps. Celeb 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.760 Spellcheck even got in on the action, saying in the 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.840 comment section that she thought the post was satirical until 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.120 she saw the warping in the story post. As well, 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.800 there were some followers who were sympathetic towards Tully and 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:52.600 commented on the broader issue of photo shopping and how 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.560 sad it is for women in the public eye to 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.520 feel this pressure to edit and manipulate their bodies. That 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.120 was my initial response, Yeah, sorry for Tully. I was 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.440 shocked to see that Sleb's spell check was back, and 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.760 I was like, oh, fabulous. But then for some reason, 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.520 when I saw it was her photo of Tully, I 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.000 don't know, I just felt sorry for her, because, as 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.480 you said, I don't think it's coming from a place 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.840 of like vanity or anything. I actually think it's coming 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.800 from a place of her maybe not feeling so good 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.840 about herself and the constant pressure to look good online. Well, 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.360 it's also a constant pressure when you're in your mid thirties. Yeah, 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.400 you know, I think a lot of people assume that 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.400 Tully is a lot younger than she is, but she's 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.320 in her mid thirty, she's trying to live up to 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.200 this expectation online she's a beautiful woman. And what was 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.760 sad was because Tully saw the post and she wrote, whoops, 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.240 my fingers slipped, and she had a bit of a 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.520 joke about it, and then she actually ended up re 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:46.000 sharing the photo minus the photoshopped part, and she looked 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.040 so much better in the photo that wasn't photoshopped, Like, 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.160 she looked amazing at it. Yeah. She explained this as 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.800 being down to a thumb slip, and some followers were 0:08:55.840 --> 0:09:00.360 infuriated by Tully's explanation, saying it wasn't merely a thumb slip, 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.680 it was a conscious effort to manipulate her photo to 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.480 make herself look tiny on an editing app. I agree. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.360 I don't think it was an accident, but I think 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.959 it was one of those moments you know sometimes where 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.960 you're like, oh, I might just turn up the saturation 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:14.920 a bit in this photo. I mean, being a photographer, 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.559 I'd play around with lightroom a lot, and then sometimes 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.280 you've just gone way too far that you look at 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:20.960 the original photo and you're like, what the fuck? This 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.520 looks completely absurd. Maybe it's one of those moments. Well, 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.760 maybe she had a couple of images that she had 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.920 edited and she accidentally selected the draft copy or something. 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:31.280 I don't know. 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.959 It was a very odd photo like it. As soon 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.280 as I saw it, I was like, oh my god, 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:40.640 what has happened here? Other people were forgiving and responded 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.560 to Tully saying, it happens to the best of us. 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.600 Who cares? You looked amazing either way, and to her credit, 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.480 Amy as you said, she uploaded the non edited version 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.680 of her photo onto her feed and wrote forget the 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.520 little black dress, It's all about the long black dress, 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.040 and she poked fun at herself writing take two. I 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.560 noticed she tagged fashion brand per Mao in the post, 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.840 and she previously listed this dress on her LTK account, 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.400 which is an online platform where influencers get a commission 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.080 if people use their link to purchase the item. I 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.720 think that that's probably why she reposted it, because if 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.960 it was me, I would have cut my losses and 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.319 just wiped this photo from existence online because it'd be 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:25.040 really awkward to have people have the two photos to compare. Yeah, 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.400 that's the first thing I did. I screenshop both of 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.840 them to see what was going on. Look The sad 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.840 reality is that the majority of influencers are using apps 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.360 to photoshop their images, but some are just doing it 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:37.160 better than others. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:37.360 Well. 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.679 I would also say a lot of everyday people are 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.800 also photoshopping their images, not just influencers and celebrities, because 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.400 there is such a competition to keep up and put 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.960 the best version of yourself forward. The awkward thing is 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.559 when someone does it and they're not in an influencer 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.480 and they clearly don't know how to use photoshop. Like 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.720 I've seen so many photos pop up of Yeah, people 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.960 who have like fifty followers and they've softened the shit 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:01.880 out of their face. It's like they've learned how to 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.120 do it. I feel like they boom a thing yep, 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:05.840 and they just look like an alien. 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:06.559 Yeah. 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:12.320 I think in this instance, Tully decided to repost the 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.959 unedited version of her photo because she wanted to play 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.040 off that this was a genuine mistake and that she 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.680 had nothing to hide. However, it led to more people 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.840 scrutinizing the photo and accusing her of editing other things. 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.120 So you really can't win in this situation, can you. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.120 At Least she acknowledged it. She could have just not 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.720 even commented on celeb Spellcheck's post, she could have pretended 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.040 it didn't happen. So there's a lot of worried influencers though, 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.720 now that celeb spellcheck has come back with a bang. 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.600 I hate drama and I was really hoping I wouldn't 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.400 have to make this video, but it's come to the 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.000 point that I have to address it. 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:55.160 Anger is mounting against fallen online retailer book Toopia, who 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:59.800 recently fell into voluntary administration. Finnish influencers Sarah's Day, who 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.600 you Here's the online store as a distributor says her 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.400 cookbooks are now being held hostage as a lengthy administration 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.040 process plays out. So if this is an absolute nightmare 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.640 for authors, yeah, and authors are right in the middle 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.480 of this gigantic mess at the moment. So when book 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.040 Topia went into voluntary administration at the start of July, 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.480 its suspended all trading, leaving one hundred and fifty thousand 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:27.720 unfulfilled orders that works out to around twelve million dollars 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.080 worth of books. Now, customers and authors have been left 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.880 in limbo because the administrators confirmed that orders will not 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.840 be filled and refunds won't be granted until the administrative 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.720 process plays out, so many of those orders are actually 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.240 gift cards or pre ordered books which haven't even arrived 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.040 at book Topia's warehouse. And it looks like this is 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:52.960 going to be a rather lengthy process because administrators are 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.959 looking to either restructure the business or sell it because 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.800 they are attempting to claw back sixty million dollar debt. 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.559 This whole thing really surprises me, especially with the popularity 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:05.320 of book talk. 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:05.840 Yeah. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.160 Well, book Topia was doing really well in twenty twenty 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.679 during the pandemic. They recorded their highest profits and they 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:17.800 put those profits into expanding and modernizing their warehouse. But 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.040 they are now blaming the increased cost of living, the 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.640 greater competition, and also a volatile market brought on by 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.680 this post COVID downturn as the reason that they have 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.560 done so poorly in the past year. And there is 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.520 currently a lot of customer confusion over what's going on, 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.840 and it's led a lot of customers to lash out 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.360 at the authors online and they've asked for an explanation 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.520 and they've demanded refunds. So Finness influencer Sarah's Day is 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.320 one of many authors who's found herself in the middle 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:50.000 of the chaos so she released her cookbook Sunny Side Up, 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.360 almost a year ago, and while the book is self published, 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.319 Sarah struck up a deal with book Topia to distribute 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.400 the book to Australian customers. So, she said she felt 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.160 confident in the online retailer as they said they were 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.600 the biggest distributor of cookbooks in Australia and had the 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:09.680 best setup. Now, as news broke the book Topia had 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.360 collapsed and they were going into administration. She began to 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.800 be inundated by followers asking why her cookbook was no 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.800 longer available in Australia and why their orders hadn't come through. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:22.000 Here's what she said. 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.480 If you've been trying to buy my healthy cookbook Stunny 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.640 Side Up, you may have been struggling with that. At 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.240 the same time as you, guys, I found out that 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:35.600 book Topia, who distributed my cookbook, went into administration. I 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.000 am the author, creator of my cookbook Sunday Side Up, 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.560 and I did this all in house. I self published. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.920 Once I had created the books, I got them made, 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.040 I got them printed all through my own money. This 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:47.560 was like a self project. 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.760 Sarah pointed out that this situation wouldn't impact her international 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.480 customers as she has a warehouse in the US and 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:58.560 UK which is separate to book Topia. She also apologized 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.920 to customers, which is quite rare. She doesn't usually say 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.800 the words I'm sorry, and she said that in the meantime, 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:08.280 she's trying to work her sezy magic dust on the situation, 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.280 promising things will be sorted in the next few weeks. Well, 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.640 you have to feel sorry for her because this really 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.680 has nothing to do with Sarah's day. This is a 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.240 book Topia issue, and it's a bad one because all 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.720 of these authors are suddenly being attacked by followers and 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.800 it's really one that's out of their hands. Well, I 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.480 think there has been confusion because customers are thinking that 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.280 the authors are keeping hold of their money, when in 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.040 reality a lot of the authors have complained that they 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.480 have been sending invoices to book Topia which haven't been paid. 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:38.840 Now. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.520 Despite outlining in her video that her cookbooks are still 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:46.520 available for Australian and New Zealand customers in a limited capacity, 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.560 she then changed her tune in the comment section, so 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.400 she pinned a comment which read AU slash and Z 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:56.280 customers out of stock. More stock coming very very soon. 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:00.360 I will announce asap. Aka sunny side up is a 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:04.480 hostage in this situation if I don't laugh dot dot dot. 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.000 She also replied to a follower saying, book Topia went 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.280 into administration, so my cookbooks are stuck in their warehouse 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.960 until the administration team releases them. Even though I own 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.680 one hundred percent of books gosh, I would have loved 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.800 to have been a fly on the wall when Sarah's 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:23.040 Day found that out and blasted her content Utopia. I 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.880 would also be avoiding words like hostages, though, particularly in 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:28.680 the current climate that we're in, it just seems a 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.960 tad inappropriate. It sounds like Sarah has been kept in 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:35.320 the dark for quite some time by book Topia. That 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.880 being said, though people in the publishing well told journalists 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.640 that it was industry knowledge for at least a year 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:45.440 the book Topia had been struggling. They also made one 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.960 hundred staff redundant this year, so the writing has been 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.040 on the wall. Yeah, and that's not a lot of 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:54.280 people to question. Why were so many pre orders still 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.800 being taken by book Topia when it was in such 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:01.080 a dire situation. Now Sarah is adamant that she's getting 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.040 new stock in a few weeks time. It will be 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.159 interesting to see who she selects to distribute it, or 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.320 whether she decides that she and her team will do 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.400 that themselves. The administrators are hopeful of finding a new 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.800 buyer for book Topia so it can continue its operations. 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:20.000 So far, eighty parties have expressed their interest in buying 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.000 book Topia, with Dimmicks and Coogan at the top of 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.919 their list, so I don't think they will struggle to 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.520 find a buyer. It is just a matter of when 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.280 and how much time that process takes. The whole gang 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.520 is in Rome right now, but only for breakfast. We're 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:38.679 in Italy for literally only breakfast. Speculation is rife that 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.400 Anna Paul has a new boyfriend. A so called family 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.720 friend has been popping up in the TikTokers daily vlogs 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.520 for months now, with followers convinced there's more to the story. 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.639 So surely this guy is more than a friend. He 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.320 has to be. He has even landed himself a spot 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.879 on Anna Paul's Instagram feed. The guy in question is 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.000 amarek Urbane, and he has been traveling the world with 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.640 the Paul family for quite a number of months now. 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.760 So last week Anna shared a video of her and 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.960 Amrik jumping off a cliff and into bright blue water 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:15.240 in Spain. She captured the post it feels like summer now. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.160 Many fans took this as a soft launch, so one 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.840 follower wrote, if this isn't a sign, I don't know 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.240 what is now. Despite all of this, Anna hasn't confirmed 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:27.520 the relationship, and in June she told me to publications 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:31.720 she's single. So when Amrik first started appearing in Anna's 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.040 videos in August last year, it caused a massive stir 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.560 because people were speculating that he was either Anna or 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.760 Attis's boyfriend. I want to point out that Addis's only 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:45.600 ever publicly dated women, and there was this really uncomfortable 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.960 speculation about his sexuality in August last year, so I 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.120 think that that was also adding to the speculation around 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.919 who is this family friend? And Anna did address this 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.119 speculation on a TikTok flog. She said, apparently this is 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.040 my new boyfriend, but apparently it's Adams's secret boyfriend all along. 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.719 Like fuck sake, listen the shit that I have read 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.160 just because we posted somebody we didn't fully introduce. I'm 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.040 very sorry. Let me introduce him. His name is Amerik. 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.760 He is a family friend. Addis is not gay. I'm 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.480 so sorry to disappoint. Our family friend is not gay. 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.240 I'm so sorry to disappoint. And yeah, that's all there 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.679 is to it. Can you imagine if this guy is 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.159 Anna's boyfriend and everyone was thinking that he's ads is? 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.359 It were so weird. The reason there has been added 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.800 interest in Amerik popping up in August last year is 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.560 because that is the month that Anna and Glenn broke up, 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:36.640 so a lot of people were like, who the fuck 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:38.760 is this new guy that's on the scene. I highly 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:40.720 doubt that Glenn would have appeared in a lot of 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.640 Anna's subsequent videos and they would have such a good 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.640 relationship if Anna had done the dirty with this guy. Well, 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:50.640 because Anna has remained pretty much silent on this relationship, 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.240 it has led to her very young fans creating their 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.960 own narrative. So one follower wrote, all while Glenn's watching 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.199 her cats like a slave, and she's here with the 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.240 reason they broke up, whilst another said I think people 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.280 care because we knew so much about her relationship with Glenn, 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:07.760 and the timing here was like, she hooked up with 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.239 the new guy while she was still with Glenn, and 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:13.879 shit happens. That's life, But why lie about it to 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.119 protect the nice Gale image. It's just odd. We've spoken 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.880 about it before, but there is this phenomenon where fans 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:25.040 start to create storylines about different influencers when that influencer 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.080 shuts them out of parts of their life, and this 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:28.720 is clearly what has happened with Anna Paul. 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:29.040 Yeah. 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:32.320 Well, over the weekend, Americ made another appearance on her 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.959 feed and it was a video of him talking to 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.520
