WEBVTT - The Wedding Spon-Con Gone Wrong 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.720 Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:10.639 hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm 0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:14.800 Sophie Torber and coming up on today's show, Sophie Gwidlin's 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:18.680 secret marriage appears to be over aspen Ovard breaks her 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:24.120 silence on her divorce, Martha Califortitas and Michael Brunelli's big announcement, 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.960 And have things turned sour between Mia Plassic and a 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:32.800 Chapel Street bridal boutique. But first, over the weekend, Justin 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.800 and Hailey Bieber announced the arrival of their baby boy, 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.239 and they're receiving a lot of praise for the name. 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:40.800 Maybe Yeah. I was really shocked when I saw this 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.680 name drop because listeners of the podcast will know that 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:47.279 Kate recently gave birth to her beautiful son Jack, and 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:51.480 the Beebers have copied Kate's name. Look, Kate has started something. 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.040 He can she take claim for that? Because I know 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.680 Jack is a popular name. It's probably it's in the 0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.480 top Australian names. Yes, but I did not think that 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.640 a celebrity of this nature would call their kids such 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.640 a normal name. Well, it's a very traditional name. I 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.679 thought they were going to go with something weird. His 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.679 middle name is blue, so I think that's the celebrity 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.440 aspect of the name. But this is a family name 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.720 for Justin Bieber because his dad's middle name is Jack 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.399 and a fun fact, all of the Bieber's have the 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:23.679 initials JB. So of course Justin Bieber his dad Jeremy Bieber. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.760 He's got a half sister called Jasmine Bieber and also 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.280 a half brother called Jackson Bieber. I think women always 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.400 have a good argument when picking names, because if it's 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.880 traditional and the child is receiving the father's last name, 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.120 I think that the mother should then have say over 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.920 what the middle name and first name is because they're 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.720 already getting that family name that's him built. But in 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.680 this case, Haley didn't seem to get eib. 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.760 Hey, guys, it's been a hot minute since I've been 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.960 on TikTok, but I'm relaunching myself. 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.080 Rumors are swirling that things may have turned sour between 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:02.200 controversial slickstick owner Mia Pleasik and a Chapel Street bridal boutique. 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.240 The divisive influencer has allegedly been shopping around for wedding 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.400 sponsors since getting engaged in March last year. Amy, before 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.040 we get into it, for any new listeners, who is 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.800 Mia Well. Mia is a serial entrepreneur who currently runs 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.079 a beauty brand called Slick Hair, and she first came 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.720 onto the influencing scene back in twenty seventeen when she 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:28.000 was beauty influencer Michael Finch's manager, and it's rumored they 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.520 had a huge falling out. Now during the pandemic, she 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.120 came to our attention when she started supporting and attending 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.360 anti lockdown protests, and during this time she allegedly shared 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.080 on her Instagram account that she had planned to find 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.359 a black market doctor to sign a COVID passport for her. 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.560 So she has been very controversial over the years. Doesn't 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.280 that time just feel like so long ago? Feels like 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.080 a nightmare? Well, I keep seeing this TikTok that says 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.080 in just over four months time, twenty twenty will have 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.440 been five years ago, and that blows my mind. That 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.320 is crazy. Now. She also received backlash a few years 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.240 ago for conflating abortion rights with the Victorian government's COVID 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:11.760 lockdown and vaccine mandates. Now Justin and Mia got engaged 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.600 in Italy in March last year and for a bit 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.400 of background on Justin. He ran as a candidate for 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.600 Clive Palmer's United Party, and this year he faced criticism 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.160 after Mia uploaded a video of him pulling their dog 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.600 Maple away from a dog park by her ear. Now, 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.280 at the time, Mia said Maple is the most rough, 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.520 destructive dog. A little lead of the year. Doesn't hurt her. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.800 Trust me, I'd kill Justin or anyone if they hurt 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.120 my girls. Well, now that we're up to speed, Sophie, 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.200 what is fanning these rumors? 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:42.560 Well? 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.760 On June first, Mia announced that work had begun on 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.400 her wedding gown, so she shared an Instagram story showing 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.480 a seamstress working on her dress. Now, it appears that 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.280 the dress has been custom made because the seamstress was 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:59.520 working on a calico corset. So she wrote the first 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.760 prototype type of my wedding gown and tag Champrey Crituur 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.800 in the story, but didn't specify if this was a 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:10.040 gifted or paid partnership. Now, generally when an influencer tags 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:11.840 a brand, it is because there is some sort of 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.640 partnership agreement involved. In this case, I'm guessing it's a 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.040 contrad deal. So maybe the bridle store has gifted her 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.359 this gown or is loaning it out to her in 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.520 exchange for exposure on her wedding day. Now the branded question, 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.040 as I said, is Champrey Cutuur, which is a bridal 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.400 boutique on Chapel Street which makes custom made gowns as 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.080 well as ready to wear gowns. Now they have over 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.279 thirty seven thousand followers on Instagram and I have to 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.320 say that designs are absolutely stunning. Now, what was a 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.479 little unusual is that on the fifth of August, Mia 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.720 posted that she and her family were jetting off to 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.960 Santra Pe in business class of course, to embark on 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.120 their European holiday ahead of their wedding in Italy. And 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.120 this was very curious timing as it's only three months 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.000 after she started having her gown designed. So that's cutting 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.320 it very fine, because most dresses would around a year 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.200 to deaygether. They usually recommend ten to twelve months. So 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.440 it seems very strange to start having a custom gown 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:11.039 made in June if your wedding is in September, particularly 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.039 if you're leaving more than a month out from your wedding, 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.200 and because generally they'll be fittings, particularly if it's a 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.120 custom gown, So this designer must have been working around 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.520 the clock to get this gown completed in time. Well, 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.000 word on the street is that Mia has allegedly been 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:32.120 shopping around for wedding sponsorship deals ever since she got engaged. 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.200 So I wonder if she struggled to find a wedding 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.920 dress designer who would actually give her a gown, and 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.000 that's why she's left it so late, Yeah, because she 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.920 doesn't have a great reputation, particularly in Melbourne. Now, last week, 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.080 Mia celebrated her bridal shower with three friends at the 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.839 Ritz in London, and she was joined by Melanie James, 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.080 who is married to Blair James, who recently sold Bondi 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:57.200 Sands for four hundred and fifty million dollars now. She 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.760 called it the bridal shower of her dreams and showed 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.599 us enjoying a high tea with her friends. Is it 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.279 just me or does this kind of celebration seem almost 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.200 a little bit choogy because the way Mia Pleasic posts, 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.039 it's like she's back in twenty twelve and she's just 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.599 bragging so much about having money, when in reality, I 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.600 don't know if she's as wealthy as she makes out. Well, 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.440 she is one of those influencers who looks like brand 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.279 names have vomited on her. But as we have discussed 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:26.159 in previous episodes, most of her designer gear is fake 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.240 and she has openly spoken about that. Now, what's got 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.880 a lot of tongues wagging is since posting about her 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.800 bridal shower and her lavish couple of weeks in Europe, 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.160 Shamprey Criture is no longer following Mia Pleassic and this 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.000 has led to a lot of speculation that perhaps things 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.839 have turned sour with this partnership and maybe Mia isn't 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.560 upholding her side of the contra deal, so we will 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.719 have to watch this space. Well, it is a really 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.680 strong message to unfollow someone, so more must be brewing 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.120 behind the scenes. I'm just interested to see in the 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.479 next few weeks if Mia ends up wearing a Shamprey 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.000 Criture on to her wedding. Yeah, well, we have to 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:03.839 wait for a couple of weeks to find out. But 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.760 doesn't have a good track record of upholding her side 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.600 of contrad deals, so a few years ago she was 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.440 called out by a floris called bloom Squad Melbourne for 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:17.160 allegedly demanding free flowers in exchange for sponsored posts. Now 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:21.120 remember this. Yeah, so she held a very instagrammable thirtieth 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.720 birthday party, so there were huge balloon installations, She had 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.240 a life size illustration of herself on a media world 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.280 I mean, as you do at your own party. Sure, 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.800 she had custom biscuits, of bar, dessert tables, even a 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.080 live illustrator. And the theme was Capri for a Day, 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.600 which is quite interesting because she is holding her wedding 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.080 in Italy and she enlisted the help of many vendors 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.920 to make this extravagant party a reality. And she ended 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.160 up sharing a post about the party, but she failed 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.239 to properly acknowledge any of the vendors that are jumped 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.400 on board as partners, and this led bloom Squad Melbourne 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.120 to write under the post, were you planning on thanking 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.400 the small business who worked for free at your party? 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.440 A week later, after a lot of back and forth, 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.800 Mia then begrudgingly posted a photo of the flowers and 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.120 tagged the flores. I want to point out that it 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.160 was a fairly average post as well. It was just 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.400 a photo that had been snapped with an iPhone and 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.520 the caption was pretty subpar. It wasn't very glowing about 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.160 the florest. I mean, you'd think if this small brand 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.280 had gifted you a stunning display of flowers, maybe you 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.560 could do a walk through video explaining what you'd been 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.200 given and actually give the small business some exposure, particularly 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.199 because this was around the time of the pandemic when 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.000 a lot of florists were losing work because no weddings 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.840 were on. There weren't many events. I just it's interesting 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.120 to me that Mia acts as if she's got so 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.199 much money, but then yet everything at these events seemed 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.040 to be gifted. Yeah, exactly. It's like she's I mean, 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.800 she's now friends with this Melanie from Bondi Sans who 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:56.040 legitimately is a multi millionaire, so she seems to have 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.000 to try and keep up appearances. Now back to this 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.559 story about her theird. The florist ended up re sharing 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.520 the photo that Mia had shared and roade. Only took 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.760 a week, but we managed to finally get a tag 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.520 out of her, even though it was her bright idea, 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.560 hope you enjoyed your free flowers. Safe to say she 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.160 is not part of out squad what a burn. I 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.440 think sometimes these influencers forget what a huge thing this 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.040 is for some small businesses to not only donate their goods, 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.760 but it's also their time. Yeah, because they're taking time 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.000 away from other clients that they could be working with 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.240 and then potentially building on their business and making more money. Well, 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.160 the florist also alleged that a number of their vases 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.240 got smashed at this party, so it's really not a 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.199 good look for me. I just really wonder how many 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.439 vendors are going to come out of the woodwork following 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.880 this wedding, because there really does seem to be a 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.360 bigger story brewing here, So I would keep an eye 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.280 out on it. Where do I start? 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.040 It's been a roller. 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:57.679 Coaster fitness influencers. Sophie Whitland's secret marriage to fitness coach 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.679 Nicholas White appears to be over just four months after 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.720 flashing their wedding bands on social media. The pair have 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.600 now unfollowed each other. Now we say they flashed their 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.240 wedding bands, but they also flashed us the finger around 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:11.760 this time as well, because we had a bit of 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:13.640 a run in with the pair. Well, we will get 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.559 into that, but I want to get listeners up to speed. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:20.760 With their relationship timeline, because this has all happened very quickly. 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:25.640 So Sophie and Nicholas first appeared publicly together in December 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.520 last year during a holiday to the mid North Coast. Now, 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.679 Nicholas is a Gold Coast personal trainer who runs Buffalo 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:38.040 Tribe programming. That sounds like a fake name, Buffalo Tribe. 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:39.920 It doesn't really roll off the tongue, doesn't. 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:40.040 No. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.800 They kept their relationship low profile until Nicholas started appearing 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.640 in Sophie's YouTube videos at the start of April, and 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.800 if we remember Amy, he was seen bringing her flowers 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.960 after her breast explant surgery. Isn't this in the same 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.120 YouTube video where Sophie just drops, oh this is my 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.920 husband and the internet freaked out. Oh so it was 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.360 a subsequent video, so she was showing off her body 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:08.160 building trophies and then casually referred to him as her husband. 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.959 Let's throw to what she said, do you mind I 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.520 can put your name on it. You could have best 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.400 husband of the Year twenty twenty four. There was a 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.080 lot of breadcrumbing going on on Instagram as well, so 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.320 Sophia and Nicholas both started wearing wedding bands in their 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.480 Instagram stories, and at the time, Amber from Influencer Updates 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.040 was reporting that acquaintances of Nicholas had reached out to 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.960 her to say the couple got married overseas. There's lots 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.360 of spies, aren't there. Now. We covered this story back 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.080 in April, amy As You touched On, which led Sophie 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.520 to block our accounts and also make a bizarre rant 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:47.400 about our segment and the general public speculating about this marriage. Now, 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.120 I want to point out that in the segment, all 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.280 we did was report on the information that she and 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:57.000 Nicholas chose to point out. So she wrote, Oh the 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.720 irony of the bullshit that is social media when you 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.440 have no idea what someone is going through. Yet, Peel, 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.640 you have the right to say your opinion on a 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.520 story that you know nothing about. She then directed this 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.320 at her haters, saying, judge your way. Just make sure 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.400 your glass house is clean and your husband isn't one 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:17.240 of the ones in my dms, followed by vomit spaces. Now, 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.720 this was accompanied by a hospital selfie. Now, things didn't 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.719 end there, because underneath a clip of us promoting the episode, 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.199 her husband Nicholas will suspected husband Nicholas wrote, must be 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.679 nice having nothing better to do with your life. And 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.800 we chose to respond to this because I am so 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:38.600 sick of women's businesses being downplayed and belittled by people 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.640 like this, so we wrote, it's true our podcast does 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.520 take up a lot of our lives, seeing as it's 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.160 one of the multiple businesses we run. Sorry, it makes 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:47.760 me laugh because I know it. Kate wrote this, I 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.800 suppose you have to put the hard work into crack 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.240 ten million streams. We love what we do and think 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.200 it's important to analyze influencer culture. We're not sure why 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.640 you're so upset over us discussing information your partners so 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.000 willingly shared what a burn. I miss Kate being involved 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.760 in some of the back and forth with influences, but 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.960 she will be vaccimate well. Last week, the rumor mill 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:13.080 went into overdrive when Sophie and Nicholas both unfollowed each other. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.640 Now this wasn't only in their own names, but they 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.240 also made sure to unfollow one another on their business profile, 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.680 so the Buffalo Fitness page got an unfollow. Now, Nick, 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:28.160 who's account has been private since the secret wedding rumors surfaced, 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.160 has also now made his account public, and many people 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.640 are wondering if this is because he wants to share 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.480 his side of events with Sophie's followers and the general public. 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.560 It seems very similar to when her marriage broke down 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:47.200 only last year with doctor Andrew and his sister went 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.040 rogue and started releasing all this information about Sophie that 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:52.960 didn't paint her in a very glowing life. So it 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.240 seems to have this effect on people, doesn't she And 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:59.600 she has been appearing on her Instagram stories without her ring. Yes. Now, 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.760 if this this is true and the couple are in 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.920 fact married, this is sadly her fourth marriage breakdown, and 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.760 it comes less than eighteen months after she ended her 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.760 marriage to Gold Coast dentist doctor Andrew. Now, their marriage 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.240 only lasted four months and they separated after their daughter 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.680 Pixi was delivered stillborn. Now you might be wondering who 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.520 else was she married to. So her first marriage took 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.120 place when she was very young, so she grew up 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.520 as a Jehovah's witness which might surprise some listeners. And 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.800 her next marriage was to Nathan Wallace in two thousand 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.480 and five, who she shared a lot about on her 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.720 Instagram stories. He is the father to a couple of 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.960 her children. I've never understood why so many influences seem 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.680 to rush into marriage, particularly when so many of them 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.360 have had such a string of failed marriage. But you 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.480 would think that you might be a bit hesitant when 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.240 it's fourth time round. And I mean, we don't know 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.120 the ins and outs of this. She might be a 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.560 real optimist, but I just don't understand the need to 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:59.520 actually get married because it just makes things so difficult financially. 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.440 The thing it just had been a complete headfuck. And 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.560 this story has been picked up by the mainstream media, 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.640 so The Daily Mail reached out to Sophie for a comment, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.280 but she has declined to share any details with the publication. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.880 She is currently back in hospital, though with a mystery condition. 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.280 She wrote on Instagram, thank you for the beautiful messages. 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.880 I've taken some time offline to recharge after a recent 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.640 hospital stay. I'm back home now on the mend and 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.240 looking forward to getting back into it now. This would 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.520 be a very difficult time for her. We will have 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.040 to keep an eye on Nick's social media account though, 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:35.960 to see if he spills the beans on what has 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.320 actually gone down. You never know, he might suddenly reach 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.400 out to us and dm us. Yes, it's not the 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.800 first time this has happened. It's going to try and. 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:49.960 Be a little. 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:58.080 I'm going to be more demure. American YouTuber Aspen over 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.120 It has broken her silence for months after filing for 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.960 divorce from her husband, Parkert Ferris. The divorce news shocked 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.200 Aspen's followers back in April, as it coincided with the 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.600 YouTuber announcing the birth of the couple's third child, now Amy. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.200 A lot of people have been waiting for Aspen to 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.680 respond to the media report about her marriage breakdown because 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.240 she didn't actually break this news herself. It started gaining 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:27.160 momentum on gossip forums until US media broke this story. Yeah, 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.560 there has been a lot of interest in this story 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:33.400 because Aspen has over two million followers on Instagram and 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.560 also on YouTube. So for background, Aspen is an og 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:41.640 beauty influencer who now shares family of log style content. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.480 So she's been on YouTube for over a decade and 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.760 married Parker when she was nineteen. What makes this story 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:51.040 even more intriguing is that both Aspen and Parker are 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:54.680 practicing Mormons from Utah. A lot of people were hoping 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:56.800 that Aspen would do a sit down, Q and A 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:00.200 on a YouTube about the divorce, but she's opted to 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.680 touch in it on TikTok. Yeah. So she used the 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:06.119 current demure trend to address why she hasn't publicly talked 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.439 about the divorce online, and she entitled the video soft 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.800 launch Now if you haven't heard of the demure trend. 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:16.200 It was made popular by TikTok at Jules Lebron after 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.080 she shared a video of her describing how she gets 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:22.280 ready for work in a demure way. Now, this time 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.600 is all about being cutesy, clean and mindful, and it's 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.840 about not drawing attention to yourself with an emphasis on 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.919 being productive and navigating your life with quiet confidence. So 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.040 it is kind of tongue in cheeks. Some people will 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:36.720 use it as a bit of a joke. Let's have 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.280 a listen to what Aspen said. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.320 You see how I don't talk about my divorce online. 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.280 Very demure, very mindful. You see how I considered my 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.199 children and how it would affect them to have their 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:51.280 family's personal information shared all over the internet. Very smart, 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.959 very good mom. You see how those magazines and websites 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:58.600 wrote articles sharing personal information that I hadn't shared yet 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.200 when I had just given birth to a premature. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:01.879 Baby who was in Nico. 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:06.119 Very trashy, very tacky. See how I will continue to 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.840 stay unbothered and not share anything to protect my peace? 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:14.719 Very demuror, very mindful, very cutesy, very peaceful. 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:19.480 Now This video has clocked up over twenty two point 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:23.400 nine million views at the time of recording. A day later, 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.080 she shared a video of her pretending to type vigorously 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.760 on the computer, alongside the caption ME reading every single 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.359 comment and DM to see if anyone has confessed to 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.080 secretly having a crush on me over the years and 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.640 is interested now I'm single. This also clocked up over 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.640 a million views. A few hours later, she also shared 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.560 a video of herself holding her daughter in her car 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.320 with the caption me in twenty years when I get 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.919 paid ten million dollars to do a Tello and she 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:54.040 mined to this clip part thirty seven. Who the fuck 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.199 did I Mary? So? At this point in time, I 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.840 have filed for divorce, She captured the TikTok. I'm not 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.719 going to share details, but I am gonna make jokes. Well, 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.360 please share the details. You can't just bread crumb us 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.199 like this. We need to know what has gone on, 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.200 and we're not going to care in twenty years time. 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.200 We want to know now. I think it's a clever 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.960 way for her to address the rumors without really having 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.920 to touch on them too deeply, because she's been able 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.560 to confirm to the world that she is single, but 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:24.120 she's also basically said, what the fuck was this guy? 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.280 There's more to the story though, one hundred percent as 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.600 more to the story. If Molly May pulls this shit, 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.639 I will be so fucking unhappy. I think it's kind 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.040 of classy, though, because she's been able to say, look, 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.120 my husband obviously has done me wrong, but I'm too 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.920 demil I'm too classy to talk about that. In reality, 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.119 she I don't like this because she's a YouTuber. She 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.440 has shared herself giving birth. We know all the ins 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:49.879 and outs. We can't be there for all of the 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.080 good times and then not be let in on the 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.159 bad times. I think we deserve to know what's gone to. 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.760 That's the only thing I worry about. Because these clips 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:58.920 are a bit of a tease for her devoted followers, 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.080 and we've spoken about before how some fans will then 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.000 turn against that YouTuber that they love and they'll start 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.280 it creative. Yeah, and I think there's a lot of 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.320 that going online right. I think this will be a 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.879 real problem for her, particularly when you look at the 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:15.159 fact that a fan came across Aspen's divorce papers. This 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.119 is how it all came out. A fan posted it 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.119 on Reddit and that's where the media picked up on it. Well, 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.480 they're going to find out what's happened, is it these followers? 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:27.000 One way or another, I fix this so the angle 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:30.080 isn't so shocking and I don't look like Lord Farquha. 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:34.680 Martha calor Fetitis and Michael Brunelli have announced they're starting 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:39.040 a new family series with Martha's mum, Mary So. Mary 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.840 appeared on Big Brother back in twenty twenty one, and 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.760 she has been a constant feature on both Michael and 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.960 Martha's social channels since the couple moved back into Martha's parents' 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.679 home in twenty twenty three. I think that Mary is 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.760 the real reason that Martha and Michael are still so relevant, 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:58.359 because she just adds so much to their content. She 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.720 is so funny and brutal. Honest, Well, I would argue 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.919 that she's becoming more popular than Michael and Martha because 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:09.040
