WEBVTT - Elevator to Level Six

0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:09.040
<v Speaker 1>hottest influenza and pop culture news twice a week. I'm

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Amy Torber and coming up. On today's show, Lucy Jackson

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and Nicki Wescott revealed what really happened when they reunited

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.840
<v Speaker 1>with Lilly Brown. Kate Cassidy gives first interview since boyfriend

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Liam Payne's death, and why Georgie Stephenson's dream house is

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>on the market, but first. Mikayla Tester has revealed she's

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>set to share the full story behind her experience with

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>the Paul family on her new podcast, Kate, Can You

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>tell Us More? Well? The news really contradicted her most

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>recent statement that she would be moving forward legally, so

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>last Wednesday, she wrote, Hi, guys, I did promise receipts.

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>While going through and actually collecting them and reviewing them,

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I realized something very, very sinister was happening to me

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>for many years. This is something the police should be seeing,

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>not the Internet. Although at some stage I will be

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>able to share my story in full, as I have

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>shared every piece of my life with you all so far,

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I will have to delay. For now. I will be

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>moving forward legally. The way it should be now. There

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>was a bit of a backflip by Michayla on Friday,

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>because she then shared a photo of a couch and

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>a microphone and wrote, where I'm about to sit for

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 1>the next two days, telling you all absolutely everything I've

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>wanted to say that couldn't coming next week. She went

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 1>on to say, not a single stone will be left unturned.

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:28.039
<v Speaker 1>This is my story, my experience, and my choice to

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.399
<v Speaker 1>share now. The podcast is called The Unsaid Podcast and

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.559
<v Speaker 1>at the time of recording, has one hundred and eight

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>thousand followers. I'm sure the Paul family are looking on

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>very nervously at this. I actually gasped when I saw

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Michayla's post. This was so unexpected, and when I clicked

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>on her Instagram, it originally said that the podcast was

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be hosted by Michayla and Alisha Mackenzie. So

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Alisha is Michayla's friend and manager. Now it just says

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be hosted by Mikayla. I wonder if

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>this is a legal decision, because if this does go

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>to court for defamation, Mikayla will want to protect herself, obviously,

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>but she might not want to fit the bill for

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>a friend. I was really disappointed when I saw Mikayla's

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>announcement pop up, because I thought it was really mature

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>and a good move that she was going to take

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>things offline. Well, a lot of people are now saying, oh, well,

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 1>did Mikayla originally call Anna pull out just to get

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>attention for her new podcast. I don't actually think that

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>that's the case, but it is an interesting move to

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 1>bring the podcast out so soon after. I think the

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>podcast is just sort of a one and done thing.

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think she's going to continue to release episodes.

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I think she's just chosen this as a format to

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>share her story. Really, I potentially think that this podcast

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>had been in the works for quite some time because

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the photo was taken in a professional studio. Obviously, the

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Instagram had been set up, and Michayla's manager was going

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.399
<v Speaker 1>to co host with her. I think maybe she looked

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>at the attention she was receiving and thought, well, now

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 1>it's probably a good time to announce that I'm doing

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>this podcast because I'm going to get mass exposure from views. Well,

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 1>from a PR perspective, it is a pretty clever time

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>when everyone is looking at your page. But that theory

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really make sense to me, because two days earlier

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>she said that she was going to stop speaking about

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>it because she was following it up legally. I think

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>someone's just come to her and said you should do

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>a podcast, and it's happened all pretty meganically. She also

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>might have received legal advice that maybe the evidence she

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>found wasn't enough for a potential prosecution. She's clearly lawyered up,

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and after the response Anna received from her video, I

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 1>think that she's probably feeling very confident to keep talking.

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I hope that the podcast is focused more so on

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Atis than Anna. But a concept I talk about in

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>the work that I teach is quantum leaping, So it's like,

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a bit of a buzzword to in TikTok.

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>It's like how to manifest and quantum leep. Influencer turned

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>entrepreneur Georgie Stevenson has revealed her dream home is on

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>the market in an unusual move. The multi level Hilltop

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>mansion is listed for both sale and rent. Before we

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>get into it amy, For those who are not familiar

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>with Georgie, who is she?

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Georgie is a successful entrepreneur who started out as a

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>lawyer and influencer. She is close to four hundred thousand

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>followers on Instagram and she co owns supplement brand Naked Harvest,

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>as well as owning a mindset and manifestation course Meditation

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>of Mindset, app, skincare brand and podcast, and at just

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 1>thirty years of age, Georgie is a self proclaimed multi

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>millionaire and is married to her long term partner Tim

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>and together they have a three year old called Ivy. Now,

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 1>this home that Georgie lives in is probably one of

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the most insane influencer houses I've ever seen. I'm curious,

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 1>why is she moving out of it? Well, the crux

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>of it is that the home isn't family friendly. So

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>in a Q and A on an Instagram story, she

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>revealed the exciting news that she is trying to have

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a second baby this year, and in making those plans,

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>she's realized that a house isn't as child friendly as

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 1>they would like for a newborn. So she wrote, it's

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the most incredible house, like it's my dream house, but

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>also we realize maybe not the best in our current chapter.

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>In an ideal world, we keep it rented out and

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>move back in when the kid's older, But I don't know.

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>See now, I had a squizz at this house on

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.039
<v Speaker 1>real estate dot Com. It is absolutely insane, but it's

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.600
<v Speaker 1>probably the least kid friendly house I've ever seen. So

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the main issue with the house is that it has

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 1>six different levels. It does have an elevator though, which

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Georgie said is helpful.

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 1>The house itself takes up four levels. Then there is

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 1>a separate level for a self contained studio, and at

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the bottom is a backyard. And Georgie and Tim's bedroom

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.799
<v Speaker 1>is on the top level, while their daughter, Ivy's bedroom

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 1>and the other bedrooms are on the third level. That

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 1>must be real pain having to go down in the lift.

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like I'm taking the pits, But it would

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>be a real issue having to go down a level

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to get to your daughter.

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, will.

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Georgie explained that she didn't like the thought of having

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to go down the stairs with a newborn, and they

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.159
<v Speaker 1>actually bought the house when Ivy started sleeping through the

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>night and walking. However, she did say that if they

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>want to go take her down to the backyard, it's

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 1>down eighty steps, so she actually can't play unsupervised I

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>want to know if they have someone working in the lift,

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, back in the day when it comes to be.

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just saying this house is so op And

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>on the second level we're going to Ivy's Plea, there's

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 1>a six level house. I mean, it seems like they

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>use it quite a bit. Well, I actually want to

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 1>start manifesting after looking into some of these features of

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Georgie's house because she's onto something which I think it's

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the best influencer house I've seen. Step First Smith's family

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>property is a close second, but this one takes the case.

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>And this property is built on a hilltop next to

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>a conservation reserve. It has the most incredible views of

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the Gold Coast skyline as well as the beach. And

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not a small property. It stretches over one thy

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and thirty eight square meters. There are five bedrooms,

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 1>five bathrooms, and infinity pool, spa gym, outdoor kitchen, as

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.039
<v Speaker 1>well as you mentioned Kate the self contained studio. Where

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>do we sign up to Georgie Stevenson's manifestation course. The

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>one feature that I couldn't get over was there is

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>this really strange toilet in the middle of the living room,

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>so it isn't it is encased in this stone cylinder,

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.039
<v Speaker 1>but it's just sort of randomly in the middle. And

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>touring a mini house tour Georgie recorded back when they

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>first moved in, she said, it's a little round toilet

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the room, so random. We love that.

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>That's probably the most kid friendly thing there, just having

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>a toilet that's so close to the living room. Maybe

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 1>not the stone. I might have mentioned this on the

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>podcast before, but some friends of ours they moved into

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>a house that had two toilets in one bathroom, so

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you could sit across from your partner basically and go

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>to the toilet at the same time. That'd be convenient

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>when we shared a house, because we don't mind going

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to the toilet in front of each other, but I

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>don't go in front of my partner. Who Maybe it's

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>when you have kids, like it might be easier if

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>they need to go at the same time. Maybe it

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 1>appears that Georgie is having a bit of trouble finding

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a buyer because the house was passed in an auction

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 1>back in November, and since then she's got a new

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>agent and they've now listed the asking price, which offers

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 1>over nine point nine million. This is the sort of

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>house that you would see on Luck's listings. What I

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>couldn't wrap my head around is that the property is

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 1>also available for rent, so it seems like it's Georgie's

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 1>preference just to rent it out. If you want to

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>rent this place out, it's going to cost you five

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and a half thousand per week. It's pretty crazy to

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 1>think that that's even an option for the couple, considering

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>it's such an expensive and it shows you how incredibly

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>successful Georgie Stephenson is. Even if you compare her to

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>other influences, her business Naked Halves is obviously doing extremely

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>well well. The couple originally purchased the property in twenty

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty two for seven point five million dollars, so they

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>have made quite a bit off it if they do

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.319
<v Speaker 1>sell it over the nine point nine million range. Their

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>property manager Ed Cherry said that they've actually been offered

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>over nine point nine million dollars quite a few times

0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>before when it wasn't on the market.

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 1>In terms of what they've done to the house, Georgie

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.439
<v Speaker 1>shared that they were slowly renovating the property in twenty

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty three. So all they appear to have done is

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>changed the color palette to a whitewashed color. I think

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>it just shows how strong the property market is. Yeah, exactly.

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>That's offered enough, just in normal house sales to bump

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>up the price. I've noticed that every property, if you

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 1>just paint the walls white, it goes through about one

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred k more. I'm just so intrigued to see what

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>her next dream house will look like. I think a

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>lot more child friendly, maybe one level.

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.680
<v Speaker 2>The amount of questions that came off the back of

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 2>that asking us about if we saw Lily, if we

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:22.199
<v Speaker 2>saw Lily Brown.

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Lucy Jackson and Niki Wescott have addressed their much publicized

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>feud with OG influencer Lily Brown the Happy Hour podcast hosted.

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Ever since the trio reunited at m Davies Hens, they've

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.679
<v Speaker 1>been inundated with questions about what really went down. Now, Sophie,

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 1>our podcasts even got to mention, yeah, I was so

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 1>excited when a listener sent this through. Unfortunately our podcast

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>wasn't mentioned by name, though, but the host did talk

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.439
<v Speaker 1>about our segment. So a couple of weeks ago, we

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>did a segment about all of the awful media scrutiny

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>around M Davies's Hens party outfit, and also touched on

0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the intense interest around M's guest list. Now followers were

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>very intrigued to see if there would be any fallout

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>between Lucy, Nicky and Lily because they were going to

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 1>be spending a boozy weekend together in Bali. The trio

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>fell out around five years ago, allegedly over Lily's boyfriend

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>at the time, Jerome. Now in the segment, we said

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.679
<v Speaker 1>that we would love to have seen what really went

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 1>down at this event, and Lucy and Niki were kind

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 1>enough to drop us a couple of crumbs. Here's what

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>they said.

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.680
<v Speaker 4>I heard on a podcast I got sent to me,

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 4>and they were like, you know, I would have loved

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 4>to have been a fly on the wall to see

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 4>all the drama that happened, and blah blah blah. You

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 4>guys will be actually like thrilled to know, or maybe not,

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 4>maybe you want the tea, but like genuinely and this

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 4>has always been the case since we had our falling

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 4>out with Lil back in Fucking Timbuck two years ago,

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.680
<v Speaker 4>since we've seen her at things for years now, there's

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 4>never been any face to face drama no ever.

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Nah.

0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I think we just sort of have always just kind

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.680
<v Speaker 2>of tried to move forward and grow and not whole grudges.

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Lucy went on to say that she's always been very

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>mindful that they're a lot older than Lily and when

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 1>they enter a social situation, they never wanted to come

0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.959
<v Speaker 1>across as two versus one, and she added she never

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 1>wants to make Lily feel nervous alone or scared. Well,

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 1>that is very mature of them, and Lucy and Nicky

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>seemed quite surprised that people were actually still interested in

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>this friendship fallout. They said to them, it feels like

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>such a long time ago, and that they've had fifteen

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 1>different lives since. Do you think they're trying to save

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.439
<v Speaker 1>face there? Because whenever I've had a friendship fall out

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and you haven't seen the person for a long time,

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 1>then when you see them, you're taking back to that moment.

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I would have thought if it wasn't such a big deal,

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>then they would have made up by now, considering they've

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>got the mutual friend of m Davis. Well, that's the thing.

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 1>It was very clear in this podcast that even though

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 1>they were trying to have water down this reunion and

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 1>say it seemed much more dramatic online. It's clear that

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.720
<v Speaker 1>they haven't rekindled their friendship with her, despite the fact

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>that they've seen her at numerous sociates. But it can

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>be over a disagreement that you had years ago and

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>still not want to be friends with someone. I don't know,

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>because if I was over it, then wouldn't you just

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.559
<v Speaker 1>all be friends? I mean, it seems like the situation.

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>It seems like what they were trying to say is, look,

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>no one had an argument, but I get the vibe

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that they probably just ignored each other. It sounds like

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 1>that because Lucy made a point of saying that she

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 1>spent most of the Hen's weekend on the dance floor

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 1>not speaking to anyone. Like It's not like they said, oh, yeah,

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:28.959
<v Speaker 1>we caught up and had a great time. Isn't it

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the most awkward thing ever when you are at an

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 1>event with someone that you have had a falling out

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>with and you want to be staring and like looking

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 1>at what they're doing, and you can almost feel their

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 1>eyes burning a hole in the back of your head. Well,

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.559
<v Speaker 1>I actually feel more sorry for em because I've been

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 1>in the situation where I've had two people at an

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>event who were exes and I've been having to try

0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and make things not awkward for them, and oh, it

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 1>was still awkward for everybody. And I really appreciated the

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 1>fact that they both came and are both lovely about it,

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.439
<v Speaker 1>but it's really awkward logistically, even when you know you've

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:00.839
<v Speaker 1>got your big tape, we'll set up you're gonna have

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 1>him on opposite side entertaining for the friends. Yeah, that's right. Well,

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Lucy and Nikki also put to bedroomors about m Davies'

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.719
<v Speaker 1>engagement party, so at the time there was a lot

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of chatter about why they weren't in attendance, and a

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 1>lot of people thought maybe it was because Lily had

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 1>recently been named as EM's bridesmaid and it might have

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.559
<v Speaker 1>been awkward for all of them to be together at

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>a relatively intimate event. Here's what Lucy said about it.

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 4>There's so much over speculation. We couldn't go because we

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 4>were on that Great Line tour.

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 3>We're contracted to.

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 2>It to ur we would never never make change her dates.

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 4>And you've also got to remember guys Emlys in Perth

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 4>like it is so expensive, Like, we don't just zip

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 4>around that.

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Quickly to Perth.

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 4>So even if we were free, like I'm sure we

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 4>would have made it work, but like, even if we

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 4>were free, it's a huge investment to fly to Perth.

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Like I just thought we would have one hundred percent

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.960
<v Speaker 2>gone if we're free. So we Yeah, we literally were

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 2>contracted to the Grapevine too, and it just didn't line up. Yeah,

0:13:58.960 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 2>and she was cool with it.

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Of course.

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 1>That will be at the wedding, went to the Hens

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 1>like Happy Days. I really love that they actually addressed

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the rumors and go there with their listeners. I mean,

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>that's probably what sets them apart from a lot of influencers,

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>because there are so many influencers that will put up

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>a Q and a box and then they'll get you know,

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>all of the questions will be, you know, what happened

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>with you in this person, and they're like, I'm not

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>going into it, so why do you put the Q

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and a box in hers? Exactly?

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 3>My life has changed so much and I think about

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Liam every second of every day. It still doesn't feel

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 3>fully real for me that he's not here. Sometimes you know,

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 3>I'll week up and it's a reality I have to feace.

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Us influenzer. Kay Cassidy has broken her silence giving her

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>first interview since her boyfriend Liam Payne's death. In what

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>appeared to be a paid interview with UK tabloid The Sun,

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Kay opened up about the one direction singer's frame of

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.480
<v Speaker 1>mind during their final days together and how she found

0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.840
<v Speaker 1>out about his death. So Kate's decision to give an

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 1>exclusive interview to the Son of all publications has raised eyebrows. Yeah,

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 1>it has really surprised the public. I mean I was

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>anticipating seeing her maybe on a platform like Call Her Daddy,

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.960
<v Speaker 1>which would appeal to a younger demographic and also be

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.400
<v Speaker 1>more of a cultural moment for her. I never thought

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>she would give an exclusive to one of the UK's

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>biggest tabloids, particularly one that has such a terrible reputation

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 1>for its treatment of young styles. Well, the journalist Clemmie

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Moody was interviewed on one of the morning shows in

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the UK and she specifically pointed out that it was

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Kate's management team who had reached out to the Sun

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 1>a couple of months ago about doing an interview, but

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 1>they put it on pause. I wonder if they were

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>hedging their bets. I don't think The Sun would have

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.359
<v Speaker 1>been their first choice, particularly because they have faced allegations

0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 1>over phone tapping and really intrusive practices. I don't think

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>it made her look good by giving exclusive interview to them.

0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>If anything, I would have thought that Klemy would have

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>fought really hard to win Kate over, because in the

0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 1>interview she made a point of saying that she knew

0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Lee when he was on The X Factor and made

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.120
<v Speaker 1>out like they had some sort of friendship there. So

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought, well, maybe Kate's agreed to do this interview

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 1>because she thinks that Clemmy's going to go easy on

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.400
<v Speaker 1>her and be quite sensitive. Well, there's been a lot

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 1>of speculation that this was a paid interview. There has

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 1>been no confirmation of this. I would assume it was.

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I one hundred percent think she was paid for this interview.

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.680
<v Speaker 1>If her management team a shopping around the story, they're

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>clearly looking for a particular price tag. But do we

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 1>blame her. She's lost her partner, and yes he was

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 1>worth a lot of money, but that money is going

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.840
<v Speaker 1>towards his eight year old son. So presumably she would

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 1>be in financial trouble because she was renting a mansion

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 1>with him. I am assumed she's moved out. Yeah, well,

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming he was paying for a lot of the bills.

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I can completely understand why she'd want to be paid

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 1>for the interview because she's opening up about such a

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>personal and emotional time. And also she would want to

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>clear her name because for some reason, she has become

0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 1>a villain in this whole story when she is the

0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 1>innocent partner here. I would have thought she might have

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 1>saved her story for a book. I'm sure there's a

0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of publishers that would be paying her a lot

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:04.879
<v Speaker 1>of money to tell her side of things. There is

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 1>still room for her to do a book deal. Because

0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.119
<v Speaker 1>the interview was very surface level, she had strict rules

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 1>in place as to what she would and wouldn't answer,

0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.080
<v Speaker 1>and the interviewer later came out and said that she

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.480
<v Speaker 1>was barred from asking Kate about the will in particular.

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I was also waiting to hear her ask questions about

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the sex workers that Liam was seen with in the

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 1>days leading up to his death. That wasn't touched on

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:28.560
<v Speaker 1>at all either. I think that gives more of an

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 1>indication as to how The Sun actually got this exclusive

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 1>interview because they might have been the only media organization

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.880
<v Speaker 1>to agree not to specifically ask those questions, because if

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.639
<v Speaker 1>she went to a more respected media publication like the BBC,

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:43.880
<v Speaker 1>they would have said, no, if we're doing the interview,

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 1>we need to ask you all of these questions to

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 1>be balanced and fair. Yeah. Well, this interview was filmed

0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.359
<v Speaker 1>and then broken into two parts which were featured on

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>their website, and it was also cut up into a

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 1>ton of TikTok videos. Now, it was quite interesting because

0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Kate wore very minimal makeup and she was dressed down

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 1>in jeans and a green knit T shirt. And this

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 1>seemed to be a strategic decision because she was absolutely

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:10.680
<v Speaker 1>torn to shreds after Liam's funeral because she was accused

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 1>of wearing too much makeup and supposedly caring too much

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>about how she looked. I actually didn't recognize her. I've

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.280
<v Speaker 1>seen a lot of her tiktoks, and I was like,

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.640
<v Speaker 1>oh God, she looks completely different. I think that must

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 1>have been because she was so paired back. Well, she

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.399
<v Speaker 1>looked very grief stricken, she looked very upset. Well, in

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 1>this morning show interview, the journalist actually said that she

0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.399
<v Speaker 1>could tell that Kate had been really mindful about what

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>she wore, her makeup, her whole image, and she said

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.280
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't a vanity thing. It was more so because

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 1>she had been so torn apart online. You could tell

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 1>that she was second guessing everything, and she felt really

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.120
<v Speaker 1>sorry for her. She's also got a team around her,

0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a management team who have analyzed the feedback that she's

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.000
<v Speaker 1>been getting, because an interview like this is also a

0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.919
<v Speaker 1>career making moment for her and she really needed to

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.360
<v Speaker 1>present herself in the best way forward. Now I want

0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to jump into the most interesting parts of this inn.

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 1>There has been so much speculation surrounding the final days

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 1>that Kate spent with Liam in Argentina and why she

0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:10.280
<v Speaker 1>left the trip early so she flew home four days

0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:14.160
<v Speaker 1>before Liam ultimately fell from his hotel balcony, and following

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Liam's death, there were rumors and a lot of reports

0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 1>that the couple were fighting whilst they were in South America,

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 1>and that Kate issued Lim with an ultimatum saying that

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>he must choose between her and drugs. Rumors of a

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.679
<v Speaker 1>rift between the couple were fueled further when it was

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.200
<v Speaker 1>reported that Lim met with two sex workers on the

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.840
<v Speaker 1>day of his death. Now, the interview went easy on

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Kate because instead of asking about any of these things,

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>she simply said, did you have fond memories of your

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.399
<v Speaker 1>last day together? And I thought that was a very

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.399
<v Speaker 1>interesting way to phrase that question. I think that's a

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.280
<v Speaker 1>great way to phrase it because it's a very loaded

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 1>question because if she says, well, no, I didn't, then

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.760
<v Speaker 1>it's like, well why well. The journalist points out in

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.160
<v Speaker 1>this interview with The Morning Show that a lot of

0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 1>what Kate said came across as really rehearsed, and she

0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:01.080
<v Speaker 1>also would be yeah, and she said she can understood

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.119
<v Speaker 1>why she did that, But the best parts of this

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 1>interview was when she was actually off the cuff. Yeah.

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:07.159
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.200
<v Speaker 1>In answer to this question, Kate said that they had

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.639
<v Speaker 1>an idyllic last day together. They woke up to a

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:15.439
<v Speaker 1>beautiful breakfast and went horseback riding. We saw all of

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that on snapchat. And when asked about the state of

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.399
<v Speaker 1>mind Liam was in when she left, she said he

0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 1>was very positive and so happy. Here's why she said

0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 1>she left Argentina.

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 3>Originally we thought we were only going to be in

0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.359
<v Speaker 3>Argentina for about a week. Give her teake a little

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 3>less a little more and after two weeks, I had

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.639
<v Speaker 3>a responsibility. We had a responsibility, we had our dog,

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 3>And obviously I never would have thought this event would

0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 3>have occurred. I never would have thought that this would

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:45.040
<v Speaker 3>have happened.

0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 1>So Kate is referring to the couple's rescue dog, Nalo,

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.280
<v Speaker 1>which they adopted shortly before the trip and the grab

0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.679
<v Speaker 1>we just played. If Kate has been going viral with

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.200
<v Speaker 1>someone direction, Fance not happy with Kate referring to Liam's

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 1>death as an event. I mean, they wouldn't've been happy

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 1>if she referred to it as his death either. This

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 1>is a twenty five year old girl who's literally grieving

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the death of her boyfriend. I mean, I get that one.

0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.119
<v Speaker 1>D fans are upset, but we need to remember she

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.399
<v Speaker 1>actually had a relationship with Liam. She didn't just know

0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 1>him through his music or what we saw on TikTok.

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.639
<v Speaker 1>This was a real relationship. And I also think because

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Liam's death is still being investigated, she's mindful not to

0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.639
<v Speaker 1>refer to this as an accident or a crime. I

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.120
<v Speaker 1>think that's why she said this was an event. Well,

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you can see why she was probably rehearsing some of

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 1>these answers as well as if anyone would be if

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:37.560
<v Speaker 1>they've got some sort of media team now. The interviewer

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:42.399
<v Speaker 1>also asked about Liam's mental health and drug addiction. Somewhat clunkily,

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I have to say, she asked Kate whether it came

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:46.920
<v Speaker 1>out at the blue or what seemed to trigger him

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that day. Here's what Kate said.

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:54.480
<v Speaker 3>With addiction, you know, you just you never know when

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna come out. It's a really serious issue that

0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:02.119
<v Speaker 3>I think is like under valued and underspoken about.

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 3>When I, like I said earlier, when I left Argentina,

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:09.159
<v Speaker 3>we had such a great day and he was in

0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:13.480
<v Speaker 3>such a good headspace and we were in such you know,

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 3>great you know, we're just full of love and I

0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.439
<v Speaker 3>never would have expected any of that to occur.

0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>In a subsequent interview with the Sun, which was not filmed,

0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Kate said Liam's relapse came hard and fast, and as

0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>far as she was concerned, it came out of nowhere.

0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>When she was asked what caused the relap, she said,

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I want to answer that because I

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 1>literally wouldn't even know. It's interesting that she gave these

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:42.560
<v Speaker 1>grabs when she wasn't being filmed it seems to me

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:44.919
<v Speaker 1>that they filmed the initial interview and then were like,

0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:48.880
<v Speaker 1>we need a little bit more information, and potentially her

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:52.440
<v Speaker 1>PR manager wrote those graps. Yeah, you could really tell

0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 1>as well that it was important for Kate to reiterate

0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:57.879
<v Speaker 1>that on her end, there were no red flags before

0:22:57.920 --> 0:22:59.840
<v Speaker 1>she left and that Liam was in a good head

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 1>because she has been blamed people are saying, why would

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you leave your partner when he's in such a bad

0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 1>place mentally, Also to deflect from rumors that there was

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.199
<v Speaker 1>potentially some sort of fight that triggered this whole event.

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, again, it's not fair to blame her on

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:17.439
<v Speaker 1>what has taken place, but I can see why she

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:20.920
<v Speaker 1>would want to avoid anyone thinking that that actually had occurred. Well,

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 1>this whole idea of her abandoning him is what has

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:26.840
<v Speaker 1>led to her receiving a lot of death threat and

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:30.119
<v Speaker 1>what she described as the most unthinkable messages in her DMS.

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:32.359
<v Speaker 1>It actually caused her to take a break offline for

0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:34.880
<v Speaker 1>some time, and she said, whilst it's hard, she will

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:38.000
<v Speaker 1>never let anyone tell her how her relationship was with

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Liam because they are the only two people who truly know.

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:44.960
<v Speaker 1>She also wanted to describe their relationship as authentic, real,

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.439
<v Speaker 1>and something you'd see out of a movie. I was

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:50.000
<v Speaker 1>really relieved to hear that Kate didn't find out about

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Liam's death online or through the media, because it seems

0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:55.360
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of his family members did find out

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that way. One of Liam's friends actually broke the news

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 1>to her, and she said she'd been scrolled on TikTok

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and was home alone with their dog when she got

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the phone call. So she said that she blacked out

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.000
<v Speaker 1>during the phone call and tried to convince herself that

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 1>it was just a rumor, that perhaps someone made it

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:13.720
<v Speaker 1>up just to get views online. However, when it became

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:16.680
<v Speaker 1>apparent that the news was in fact true, she said

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.239
<v Speaker 1>that she still found it so difficult to believe. I mean,

0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I think that was a feeling a lot of us

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:22.880
<v Speaker 1>were grappling with who didn't even know him, and especially

0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:24.920
<v Speaker 1>when she was so far away, like if you're in

0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 1>a different country, I mean, imagine she probably would have

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:30.720
<v Speaker 1>tried to call him a million times. She she said

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:33.200
<v Speaker 1>she tried to call his phone, she was pacing around

0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the house. She couldn't sleep for the first night. She

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 1>said she felt numb and as though she had no

0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:41.360
<v Speaker 1>emotions as well, and she seemed to be in this

0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 1>huge case of denial over the whole thing. She said

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 1>that it was also her first time experiencing grief of

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:49.359
<v Speaker 1>this nature and that it has very much been coming

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:52.560
<v Speaker 1>in waves now. The reality really sunk in for Kate

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 1>when she was sitting in the couple's new house with

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:57.320
<v Speaker 1>her mum and she realized that she would never see

0:24:57.400 --> 0:24:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Liam again, and that they were never going to be

0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:02.920
<v Speaker 1>home to get and he wouldn't see the Halloween decorations

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.360
<v Speaker 1>that she'd been setting up those few days that she'd

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.600
<v Speaker 1>been home without him. Kate also revealed the last text

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 1>message that she sent to Liam when he was alive.

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:13.440
<v Speaker 1>It read, I can't wait for you to come home

0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and for me, you and now to be a family

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:18.199
<v Speaker 1>again together. I can't wait for you to see the

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 1>house that is just so sad now. The most uncomfortable

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:24.640
<v Speaker 1>question for me came when their journalist asked Kate if

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:27.479
<v Speaker 1>she foresaw Liam dying young, and she backed it up

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:30.399
<v Speaker 1>by saying that she believed Liam had previously spoken about

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:34.400
<v Speaker 1>that being a possibility. Here's what Kate had to say.

0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, you never think that the worst possible thing

0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:41.159
<v Speaker 3>can happen to you know, no matter what it is,

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:43.760
<v Speaker 3>whether it's some a family member getting sick or just

0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 3>a cur like, it doesn't matter. You never ever think

0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 3>that's going to happen. And it's just I never would

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 3>have thought that it would ever, you know, have turned

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 3>out the way it did. And I'm still just you know,

0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:55.760
<v Speaker 3>wrapping my head around it.

0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:59.399
<v Speaker 1>Kate then said if she could see into the future,

0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:02.640
<v Speaker 1>she would have never left Argentina, but unfortunately they had

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 1>their own separate lives and this wasn't the first time

0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:08.360
<v Speaker 1>they traveled separately. I think the journalist was desperately trying

0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 1>to get Kate to make some sort of comment about

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:13.639
<v Speaker 1>her being concerned about his drug addiction. In part of

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:16.399
<v Speaker 1>the interview, Kate admitted that she was a one D

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 1>fan growing up, and she actually had one direction on

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:21.719
<v Speaker 1>her balls as a teenager. Well, I remember she had

0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:24.280
<v Speaker 1>a TikTok with Liam in it, and she had this

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 1>character of Liam on a popsticle stick, and she said

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:29.240
<v Speaker 1>that this was a sign of manifestation because she had

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:31.439
<v Speaker 1>created this as a child and look curious sitting on

0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:33.240
<v Speaker 1>her bed, and she said that she had a crush

0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:35.200
<v Speaker 1>on him ever since she was ten years old, which

0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought was really sweet, and she touched on Liam's

0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:41.120
<v Speaker 1>hopes for a One D reunion, saying this.

0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:45.119
<v Speaker 3>I think everybody had hopes for One Direction to do

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 3>a reunion at some point, So, you know, Liam, One

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:50.320
<v Speaker 3>Direction was such a huge part in his life and

0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:53.399
<v Speaker 3>he would have been more than happy in the future

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 3>to do that.

0:26:55.480 --> 0:26:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Kate's comment is going to fuel further

0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 1>speculation that One Direction will reunite for a special tribute

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:03.760
<v Speaker 1>to Liam at this year's Brutal Awards. I'm already seeing

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 1>this all over my TikTok. The saddest thing is it

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 1>always appeared that it was Liam and not the other

0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:11.399
<v Speaker 1>guys that was pushing for this reunion. He really was

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the heart of the band of the day. Well, I

0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:16.640
<v Speaker 1>saw that Louis was spotted at Zane's concert, so they

0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:19.440
<v Speaker 1>think that he's trying to mend things. I personally think

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:22.880
<v Speaker 1>it won't happen, because, as you said, Amy, it seemed

0:27:22.920 --> 0:27:25.240
<v Speaker 1>like Liam was the one really trying to make it happen,

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and it just wouldn't feel right if he wasn't there. Well,

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I disagree. I think it could happen. I have told

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>you guys that ever since Limb passed away. My TikTok

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 1>feed has been full constantly for months now of One Direction,

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and I've got to stop sending to me And after

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.520
<v Speaker 1>piecing it all together, I really think that this could

0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:44.639
<v Speaker 1>be a fantastic tribute because he was so keen to

0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:46.919
<v Speaker 1>get everyone back together. I think that that's why they

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 1>might do it just for that night. They're not going

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to get back together as a band, but I think

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a beautiful tribute to Liam. I agree with you,

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Sophie because a lot of the guys have been doing

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 1>their own solo tours, so while it would be a

0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:00.240
<v Speaker 1>nice tribute for Liam, it's also good promotion for themselves.

0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:03.160
<v Speaker 1>It was really sad because Kate mentioned that when Liam

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:05.960
<v Speaker 1>passed away, the only way she could fall asleep was

0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>by listening to his music, but then during the daytime

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:12.240
<v Speaker 1>she felt like it wasn't helping her move on. She

0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:15.080
<v Speaker 1>was getting too emotional. So now whenever she hears One Direction,

0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:17.440
<v Speaker 1>she has to turn it down. Well, as expected, there

0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>was a mixed reaction to Kate's interview, and her name

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 1>was trending on x. The backlash was fierced with many

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:27.639
<v Speaker 1>One Direction fans slamming her decision to sell her story

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.679
<v Speaker 1>to the Sun. One ex user wrote, someone who truly

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 1>loved or respected Liam wouldn't sell their story to a

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:38.280
<v Speaker 1>sensationalized tabloid. This is neither bravery nor sincerity. It's pure

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 1>financial interest. Kate shows once again that for her money

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 1>outweighs respect for Liam's memory and those who still warn him.

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Another ex user wrote, have a little attention, you're starving. God.

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 1>People are just awful. She's talking about her own experience

0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:57.400
<v Speaker 1>following his death, not really anything too personal to do

0:28:57.480 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 1>with Liam. Yet all these one direction fans can jump

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 1>online and say how heartbroken and upset they are by

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 1>someone that they've never met and have never had a relationship.

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:08.040
<v Speaker 1>So there's been no confirmation that she was paid, and

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:09.880
<v Speaker 1>we have no idea even if she was child I

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:11.760
<v Speaker 1>think she would have been paid. But then again, why

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:14.000
<v Speaker 1>can't she be paid for opening up and giving these

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:16.440
<v Speaker 1>detail The thing is, she's not a rich celebrity. She

0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:18.840
<v Speaker 1>did date a rich celebrity and was living the high

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 1>life for some time, but we don't know what her

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 1>financial situation looks like now. Unfortunately, anything she did would

0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 1>have been wrong to some of the fans. It was

0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:29.719
<v Speaker 1>awful because people were also accusing her of having crocodile tears,

0:29:29.880 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 1>and I couldn't actually believe it because one of the

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:34.560
<v Speaker 1>moments when Kate broke down was when she was talking

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 1>about a trip she did recently with Liam to the

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Northern Lights, and I felt myself getting emotional because she

0:29:40.080 --> 0:29:42.640
<v Speaker 1>spoke about how it was the most beautiful trip they'd

0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 1>ever been on together, but what broke her heart was

0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they actually didn't get to see the

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Northern Lights and that she and Liam will never be

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:51.959
<v Speaker 1>able to see them together again. And they had all

0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:55.000
<v Speaker 1>these cute photos of their trip, and I thought, how

0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:59.040
<v Speaker 1>can you question someone's emotions in that moment, not like

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:01.320
<v Speaker 1>kid's married at for site where people get accused of

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:03.840
<v Speaker 1>crocodile tears for attention, like this is actually someone who's

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:05.480
<v Speaker 1>lost the love of their life. There was also a

0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:08.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of debate around whether she had botox in her forehead,

0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 1>and people were saying, oh, well, maybe that's why she

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 1>can't cry properly, and that's why it's not believable. I

0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 1>think this is the issue with TikTok and how news

0:30:15.720 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 1>is shared on that platform, because obviously the Sun is

0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 1>going to cut that content up into bite sized pieces,

0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and you're not going to see the whole context of

0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the interview. So a bit of the intervieview might pop

0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 1>up on your feed and she might look really happy

0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 1>in it, so you might think, oh, well, she's moved

0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 1>on pretty quickly. She's doing well for us. So I

0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:33.440
<v Speaker 1>just don't understand, though, how weird as a society can

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 1>be so vile and just go online and say, oh,

0:30:36.080 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 1>this person who's just lost her boyfriend, it must be

0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:41.280
<v Speaker 1>crocodile tears. How insane is that? But all of that

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:44.360
<v Speaker 1>awful commentary did cause a wave of supporters to come

0:30:44.400 --> 0:30:47.240
<v Speaker 1>out in her defense. They called themselves the Cake Cassidy

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Defense League, and they went into bat for her on

0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 1>x SO. One said, man, this is so sad. I

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:55.240
<v Speaker 1>can't imagine losing my boyfriend in such a terrible and

0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 1>public way where deranged, parasocial fans keep blaming me for

0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 1>his death. Ca Cassidy is so strong, whilst another said, wild,

0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:07.040
<v Speaker 1>how people villainize Ca Cassidy. Meanwhile, when Liam died, people

0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 1>were demanding for her to speak. Damned if she does,

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Damned if she doesn't. Life in a nutshell well, I

0:31:12.560 --> 0:31:14.000
<v Speaker 1>think that's a good place to leave it, because I

0:31:14.000 --> 0:31:18.040
<v Speaker 1>couldn't agree anymore with that sentiment. This podcast was recorded

0:31:18.080 --> 0:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>on the traditional land of the Ghana people of the

0:31:20.160 --> 0:31:22.920
