WEBVTT - Sammy Robinson’s Multi-Million Dollar Pay Cheque, Elle Darby Returns & Skye Wheatley’s Rat Saga Continues

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. You're dose of the hottest

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm Sophie

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Torbert and I'm joined by my sisters and journalists Kate

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and Amy. On today's show, El Darby returns to social

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>media following those racist tweets, Sammy Robinson's multi million dollar payday,

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>and Sarah's day opens up about her body dysmorphia.

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.479
<v Speaker 2>Now, so before we get into it, I need to

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 2>shame you because I received a very panicked call from

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 2>you and Amy. You've just been on a five k

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 2>walk and you lost your car keys during that walk,

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 2>so you could not get home. Amy's keys were inside

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 2>your car. What is going on with you?

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? It wasn't my finest hour, But sadly, I'm quite

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>known for doing Steve a chit like this. It always

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>happens to me. Every time it happens, I text my

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend and say, why does this happen to me all

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>of the time.

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I have to admit I did tell some of our

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 2>mutual friends and most of their responses was that seems

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>like a very so thing to do.

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>It is Sophia is literally that person that will lose

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>an important usb. You have lost house keys before, so

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't surprising when you turned to me and said, oh,

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't have my key. Well, it's the worst because

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I get you to hold stuff for me on

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 1>a walk, because you're usually in your puffa jacket and

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I was wearing well, I thought I was wearing my

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Lorna Jane tights that don't have pockets, because usually I

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 1>would put my key safely in my pocket. And you're

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>really mad at me, Amy, and you're like, why don't

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you put it in your fucking pocket? And then I said,

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>because these parts don't have any pockets, and then you're like,

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>they do, look to your side, they do.

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 2>So can I maybe purchase you a dog walking bag

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 2>that you can put your keys in. I really need

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 2>bags and phone because this just I couldn't believe when

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>you said you just hold your key on your finger

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 2>like what.

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>She was hilarious because it got pretty desperate. So we

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>retraced our steps for five k's and the sun was out,

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>so I told Sophie's boyfriend to come and rescue us,

0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and we told him to bring a coat hanger down

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>because Sophie's car had previously been broken into it, so

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I felt like we might be able to get in

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>through the window anyway. So we looked so Dodgy were

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>standing down this street, and I need to set the scene.

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Sophie's wearing her white pajama top that she got from

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Gray Lines. It says hornbag on it. I actually I

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>wore it to bed and I thought, oh, yeah, I

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.119
<v Speaker 1>just wore wear it on the walk this morning, and yeah,

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think i'd come into contact with so many people.

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>And when the RAA guy came, I did have to

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>chuck your jacket on, Amy because I thought, oh, this

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>is a bit of a weird look. The most annoying

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>thing was I could see my keys that I had

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>left in your car, and I had a wet vacuum

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>cleaner that I used for my end of lease clean

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 1>in my own car that I needed to return. So

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I was absolutely fuming at you, and so Sophie's boyfriend

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and I were just ragging on her the whole time.

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 1>I actually felt sorry for myself, but I just defending myself.

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Here was a complete accident. It's not like I'm maliciously

0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>you know. It was on this walk and threw the

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>keys in the books call.

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Though, how did you not feel or hear the It's

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.639
<v Speaker 2>like a transponder key drop because it's not like it's

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 2>just one single key. It's got you know, like the

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 2>buttons and stuff on it that surely would have made

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:12.239
<v Speaker 2>a sound.

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I detached my normal keys, which have key rings and

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>everything from it. It's quite a light key, so I

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know that. And that's the most annoying thing when

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>you lose something and everyone's like, well, do you remember

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>where you dropped it? And it's like, well, it wouldn't

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 1>be lost if I remember where I dropped it, But

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>it always is in the last place you look a me.

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you need a lanyard. Remember when they were in

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 2>at high school used to have your locker keys on

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>a lanyard.

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not in your eight Kate. I don't think I'm

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>going to start wearing a lanyard.

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but all that shit's coming back in maybe you

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 2>should bring.

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>It back to you. True.

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I never thought i'd say this, but the sky Wheatley

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Rat saga has continued this week, and for those listeners

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>who are a bit squeamish, I'll just add a trigger

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>warning here. You may want to fast forward, particularly if

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 2>you are eating now as a refresher. Last week, Sky

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 2>shared that she had taken a liking to a litter

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 2>of baby rats that had been born in her pantry,

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>so much so that she took them from the nest

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>and filmed herself holding them, and subsequently the four baby

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>rats were abandoned by their mother. Now, Sky was quite

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 2>distraught by the incident and wanted to save the rats' lives. However, sadly,

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 2>when she took them to an animal shelter, they had

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.799
<v Speaker 2>to be euthanized. Now, this week, things got even weirder

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 2>when Sky's partner Lockie, shared that their son Forest was

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 2>taking a dead rat to KINDI for show and tell.

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Now, the rat was in a plastic.

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Container which had screws in the lids so it couldn't

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 2>be opened, and Lockee later shared a photo of Forest

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>with a group of kids around him with the caption

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the rat was his success.

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>What did you guys think about all of this? Well,

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the listener actually forwarded me the post, which was put

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>up by Locke, Sky's partner, and I was in disbelief.

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>It was so gross to see a little boy holding

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a fucking rat in a container, and he kept kind

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>of turned owning the container around so you could just

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 1>see the rat's body going around in circle. I just

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>couldn't help but think how dangerous is this to send

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>a dead rat to a school with children. I'd be

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 1>so pissed off if I was one of the parents

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>of the children in this class, and imagine the poor teacher.

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, particularly when obviously we're talking about germs. But secondly,

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot of kids that may not know

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.279
<v Speaker 2>about death. It's something that you know, you don't know

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.559
<v Speaker 2>what parents have discussed with their children, So it's pretty

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 2>confronting to have a dead rat in a plastic container.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Also, it might prompt children to.

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Go out and find dead animals and touch them, and

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's just it's just disgusting and a lot

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 2>of it's quite dangerous.

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>And as someone and as someone pointed out in our

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Facebook group, what if someone brought a dead cat to school,

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 1>because they probably call the cops on it is it

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>does it make it different that it's a rodent? I

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 1>know this isn't supposed to be a funny matter, but

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>does anyone else think that this was mother rat that yeah, actually.

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Had a Q and A going on on her? Page,

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>and someone asked for an update the mother rat, and

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 2>she said she will do one later. So if there

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 2>is an update, we'll have to come back on the

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 2>mics and discuss it. I think, because I feel like

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>her announcement will be quite interesting.

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.239
<v Speaker 1>Surely that was Mamma rat. Surely there aren't more rats

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 1>in this house.

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 2>The thing is Sky was so distraught about having to

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 2>euthanize the baby rats, and then they're kind of sort

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 2>of making fun of this other rat that's dead and

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>parading it around. It seems all very old.

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 1>I did have to giggle when Lockie was like, he's

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>long gone, mate, He's long gone. Have you ever heard

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>of the bubonic plague? Manuel? It was very popular here

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:33.039
<v Speaker 1>at one time.

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 3>A lot of pedigree hamsters came over on ships from Siberia.

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Hamster is not hamster. Hamsters are small and cuddly. Cuddle this.

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 3>You'd never played the guitar again.

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Recently, we discussed how Sammy Robinson's fashion brand One Mile

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:55.719
<v Speaker 2>attracted mainstream media attention when at debooed at Australian Fashion Week. Now,

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 2>most of the media commentary centered around the shift we've

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 2>seen in the fashion landscape regarding influencers, and previously it

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 2>was seen as pretty tacky to have influences in attendance

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 2>at fashion Week, but now they're not only sitting front row,

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 2>but actually putting on a successful runway show themselves. And

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 2>one thing that was missing from the coverage though, was

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 2>the information around one mile sales and revenue. And this

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 2>week Sammy subtly gave us an insight into just how

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 2>much one Mile has potentially made in the last two years.

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 2>So can you talk us through what happened in this

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 2>YouTube video?

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Well? In the latest video, Sammy took viewers behind the

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 1>scenes of one miles debut at Fashion Week, and in

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the video, Sammy and her staff celebrated one Mile's second

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>birthday with a cake and also a birthday card listing

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the milestones they have achieved as a brand now. Sammy

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>showed the card to the camera, which read, today is

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 1>our second birthday. So far, we have ninety two thousand followers,

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>donated forty eight thousand dollars, made forty nine thousand orders,

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 1>and sold eighty four thousand pieces in less than ten days.

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 1>We were about to have our first debut fashion show

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 1>when I saw that one Mile had sold over eighty

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 1>four thousand pieces. I was so taken back because I

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>suppose you never really truly know how successful these influencer

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 1>brands are. Often you here that they've sold out, but

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't actually know how many units of clothing that was.

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 1>And of course the fact that Sammy was showing her

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>close at fashion Week meant that, yeah, it must be

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>somewhat successful. The numbers really do help to put that

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 1>success into perspective, and I did some calculations and one

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>miles pieces are usually around seventy two, one hundred and

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollars, with the most expensive item being a trench

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 1>coat for two hundred and eighty nine dollars. So to

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 1>get an idea of one miles revenue, I multiplied the

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>eighty four thousand sales by one hundred dollars for roughly

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>each item, which equates to a whopping eight point four

0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>million dollars worth of sales for Sammy Gosh Well.

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.439
<v Speaker 2>The number really stood out to me because the figures

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 2>were very similar to the sales of the Inspired Unemployed

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 2>beer brand Better Beer. So, for those who missed it,

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 2>last week, it was revealed that the brand had generated

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 2>ten million dollars worth of sales since its launched six

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>months ago. Now, I originally thought that Jack and Falcon

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 2>had a one hundred percent steak in the brand, but

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 2>that was pretty naive of me, because the boys were

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 2>actually approached by Better Beer's founders, Nick Koger and Mighty Craft,

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 2>and they were each offered a twenty percent steak in

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 2>the company for their seal of approval, and the founders

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 2>believed with the right marketing, their low carb zero sugar

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 2>beer would be very popular in Australia. But I don't

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 2>think even they anticipated just how popular it would be.

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>With the Inspired unemployees backing, Better Beer is the fastest

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 2>growing new beer brand launched in the last eight years,

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.199
<v Speaker 2>which is pretty incredible. It's pretty reminiscent of Abby Chatfield's

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 2>success with Bush the sex toy Company, because they had

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 2>the product already. They say that Abby obviously had a

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>little bit to do.

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.319
<v Speaker 1>The design of it, but it's an example of brands

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>that just grab these influences and make them the face

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>of it and just do so well.

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and with this media coverage around the Inspired Unemployed

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Beer brand, it was almost like, wow, look at them,

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 2>They're so successful. They've helped make ten million dollars worth

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 2>of sales. But with Sammy, there was no mention with

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 2>the coverage of one mile at Fashion Week how much

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>money she had made. And I was wondering if that

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.839
<v Speaker 2>was something that was intentionally left out by her brand,

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 2>because she was interviewed a lot, and I mean she

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 2>subtly put in that she'd done eighty four thousand dollars

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 2>worth of sales, but I was wondering would female audiences

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 2>not like it if she went on and said, well,

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I've actually sold eight.

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Million dollars worth of clothes. I think maybe it was

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>a conscious move not to actually say how much they'd made,

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 1>because it's the same with Abby. We've never actually heard

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the figure that she made with her vibrators. Well, I

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.080
<v Speaker 1>think it's historically because money is seen as a taboo

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>topic for women. So perhaps Sammy didn't want to outrightly

0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>say how much money the brand is making. And women

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>are often taught from a young age that it's impolite

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>to talk about money and to keep their finances private.

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So perhaps it's coming from that perspective. Because I even

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>known business, I hate talking about figures and money can

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>be a really uncomfortable topic.

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.839
<v Speaker 2>I do wonder if this whole approach to females and

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 2>money has something to do with why there are so

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 2>many question marks about how much influencers make because female

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 2>influencers make up the majority when it comes to top earners,

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 2>and I wonder if that's why the paychecks are so secret,

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 2>because women don't want to come out and say, yeah,

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually earning this much money, whereas when you think

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:39.199
<v Speaker 2>about male entrepreneurs, they're constantly flashing their cash and talking

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 2>about their massive paychecks and being really particular about this

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:43.439
<v Speaker 2>is how much.

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Well. I don't necessarily agree, I do see where you're

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 1>coming from, but I think that there's more secretcy around

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.479
<v Speaker 1>what influence has earned because it is such a substantial

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.960
<v Speaker 1>figure and the work they're seeing isn't really something you

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 1>have to invest a lot of time in, so people

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>don't see it as being particularly difficult. I think also

0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of privacy, probably from the brands of

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>people not wanting with the brands not wanting people to

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>know how much they're investing in these people. When I

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>saw that article about the Inspired Unemployed, I actually thought

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:14.079
<v Speaker 1>that that could potentially be damaging to their brand because

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 1>they are seen as being incredibly relatable and that could

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>damage the perception people have of them. Well, they recently

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>addressed it in a podcast, not so much the money factor,

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>but they were talking about how they'd been in a

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>whole heap of meetings recently and they tried to make

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.679
<v Speaker 1>themselves sound relatable because they said, all these guys are

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 1>talking figures and about marketing, about SEO, and they had

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 1>no idea what they were talking about, and they had

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>to take a few toilet breaks where they were like,

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 1>what the fuck is going on. I also heard in

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 1>another interview that Jack said that they actually reject ninety

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>five percent of brand deals that come their way, and

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.920
<v Speaker 1>they only take on deals that are actually interested in

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the brand and like the brand.

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.559
<v Speaker 2>And I know there's a lot of influencers out there

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 2>that say that, but when you have a look at

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 2>who they've worked with, it has been pretty good brand

0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 2>alignment from their end. And do you know what I

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 2>think is quite a gendered thing, because when I looked

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.319
<v Speaker 2>at her, I was like, Oh, good on him.

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>That's cool.

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 2>They've made ten million dollars. But if I'm going to

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 2>be completely honest, when I had calculated how much Sammy

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Robbins had had made. There was a bit of me

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 2>that was like, oh, that's a lot of money and

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.320
<v Speaker 2>that's terrible that I but that was just my natural instinct,

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 2>well away.

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 1>From the whole gender thing. I think one of the

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 1>reasons people probably feel differently about Sammy Robinson and the

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Inspired Unemployed is because Sammy comes from an incredibly privileged background.

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:29.319
<v Speaker 1>You just have to have a look at the house

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.439
<v Speaker 1>she grew up in. You know, she has this beautiful

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>view of Sydney Harbor Bridge. Her family's obviously very very rich,

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.559
<v Speaker 1>and then you look at the inspired unemployed, who were

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 1>former tradees and who really have come from nothing. I

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>think that's why a lot of people have brought into

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the success story of the Inspired unemployed. But people also

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.439
<v Speaker 1>like to turn on those sort of people when they

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>do well.

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that they at some stage will be

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.239
<v Speaker 2>hit by the tall poppy syndrome. In terms of comparing

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Sammy and then the Inspired unemploys content, though, I think

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 2>it's because I really get a lot out of their content,

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>like it's always very clever and funny. Whereas Sammy, we

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 2>always joke about how she often chose just her stacking

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.719
<v Speaker 2>a dishwasher. I've got to say though, when I did

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 2>watch her YouTube video about her brand launch, I felt

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 2>like a proud mum watching it because she has really

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 2>done amazing things with her brand, and I think that

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 2>it's hard as a woman not to sit back and

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit jealous of it because I suppose,

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 2>as you said, so, if she is in a privileged position,

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 2>but we shouldn't take away her achievements just because of that.

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Do We've had a million follows like ten hours now

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 2>do you feel any different? No any emails yet, Jimmy

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 2>fallon Great Naun Show.

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Surely Ellen nothing? Why I come on back the dishwasher please?

0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh for fuck?

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Say Corney Kardashian and Travis Barker's lavish wedding celebrations in

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Italy have been overshadowed by their dinner selection. Fans were

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.600
<v Speaker 2>left shocked after Kylie Jenna shared a video of what

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 2>looked like bite sized portions of pasta. Now. It sent

0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Twitter into a blaze. One person tweeted, the past a

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 2>portion size at Courtney Kardashian's wedding is one of the

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 2>saddest things I've ever seen. Another wrote, that's how much

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 2>I eat to check if it's cooked. Someone else also

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 2>wrote had better be a thirty coarse meal. Now what

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>did you guys think about this? Pasta debate?

0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I'd be disappointed by this. Let's be honest. It looks minuscule.

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what it actually look like? You know

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that tin spaghetti you get in a can. It looks

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>like someone is just spaghetti that you get. Oh sorry,

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. Looks like someone has literally

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 1>dollopped a tiny bit of spaghetti on the plate. The

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 1>plates were beautiful, though, Maybe that's why. Maybe whoever designed

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>the plates was trying to get a lot of attention

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and didn't want too much spaghetti ruining it. Because everyone's

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about it, surely this was a one of you know,

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 1>as a person said, thirty course meal or something. This

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 1>can't have been a main serve.

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Well can you imagine spending millions of dollars on a

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 2>wedding only to have the food mocked publicly. I do

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 2>think this has become such a big deal, though, because

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 2>everyone has been in a situation where they're starving at

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.360
<v Speaker 2>a wedding and they've been shafted with food.

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you reckon that Kendall Jenna was serving up the

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 1>plates because you know, she's clearly got no idea how

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to cut a cue cup. But maybe she doesn't know

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>non model portion sizes. You just give them a little bit.

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I've been to a wedding once, this is years ago,

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 1>where people were literally trying to fight each other for

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Cheney balls because everyone was so hungry. That's a

0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>fear of mine, having a wedding where people do go hungry. Yeah,

0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 1>food is such an important part. I know a friend

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 1>of mine he went to a wedding and he's Italian,

0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>so he's used to all the five course meal and

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 1>he said that somebody is served in what looked like

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 1>just the cone of a cornetto, and he asked the

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 1>waitress where's the rest of this? Yeah, that's the thing

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I reckon. It's one of these rich people thinks that

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.200
<v Speaker 1>us commoners don't get, you know, when they serve like

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 1>minuscule amounts at fancy restaurants and are supposed to be,

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, really good. They'd be going to McDonald's after surely, Hello.

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Gorgeous angels, welcome back to my YouTube channel.

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna lead your cups of teeth?

0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Can you just all go and get like a ridiculous

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 3>amount of snacks. We got digestives, we got married an cookies.

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Elle Darby has returned to Instagram five months after racist, homophobic,

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and fat phobic tweets she sent as a teenager resurfaced. Now,

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the twenty six year old who launched clothing brand Angel

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Collection off the back of her success as a YouTuber,

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:23.920
<v Speaker 1>saw her followers drop by one hundred thousand during the scandal. Now,

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 1>in the tweets that were made more than a decade ago,

0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Elle called foreigners meatheads who speak in grunts and said

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.399
<v Speaker 1>she hates Polish people and Indians. Now. At the time,

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Elle released an apology on her YouTube channel, which was

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 1>branded by some as insincere. Now. Since then, as we

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 1>have discussed on the show, there was radio silence. But

0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 1>that was until Sunday when Elle made her grand return

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>to Instagram. Now this post has been liked by more

0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:55.119
<v Speaker 1>than one hundred thousand people, with many of her supporters

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 1>saying that glad El has returned amy. This apology was

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.879
<v Speaker 1>quite lengthy. Can you touch on a couple of the

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 1>pivotal points in it? Yeah? Well, Elle started the apology

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>by saying, there are a few times in life when

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.879
<v Speaker 1>it makes more sense to just stop, to take your breath,

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 1>to reevaluate, to revisit areas that need deeper healing, and

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 1>to return when you have the right message rooted in

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.360
<v Speaker 1>authenticity and truth. It's all about authenticity in truth, I think,

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 1>particularly in a pr apology like this exactly. So Ll

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 1>continued on by saying that she has too many thoughts

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.639
<v Speaker 1>and feelings to fit into one caption or one video,

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.959
<v Speaker 1>so she has instead translated them into values and lessons

0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 1>she's learned offline and will be reinforcing in her online presence.

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I found the mention of her online presence fascinating because

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.959
<v Speaker 1>I wonder how she will show these new values and

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 1>lessons in her new YouTube videos, because I feel like

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 1>it's really difficult to do that in an authentic way.

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 1>If you remember back to the Braid scandal with White

0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 1>Fox and Sarah's day on her story, she was trying

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.959
<v Speaker 1>to show that she had learnt and you know, she

0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.760
<v Speaker 1>was buying aboriginal artwork, and it just came across as

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 1>very disingenuous. So I do wonder how these new lessons

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 1>that she's going to show are going to come across online.

0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 2>When you were talking, all I could think about. Was

0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.119
<v Speaker 2>that episode of Seinfeld when George is accused of not

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.120
<v Speaker 2>having any black friends, and then he tries and befriends

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.880
<v Speaker 2>all these people that he barely knows like it. That's

0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.119
<v Speaker 2>all I can think about, something that would come across

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 2>as so insincere and tokenistic.

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, she's going to be so careful about it, doesn't she.

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>So Elle then spoke about the hurt that she'd cause people.

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.480
<v Speaker 1>She said, my own heart has been completely broken, knowing

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.439
<v Speaker 1>I had broken yours. She then spoke about finding it

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 1>tough to connect with and navigate the mind of her

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 1>teenage self. She said it was a difficult task, and

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.119
<v Speaker 1>she revisited a very unhappy, hateful version of herself and

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.639
<v Speaker 1>tried to understand why she had so much hatred in

0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.200
<v Speaker 1>her heart. She finished off by saying, the first half

0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:54.480
<v Speaker 1>of twenty twenty two has been the most pivotal of

0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>her life, and it's time for her next chapter to begin.

0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 1>She said, here's to life's chance to be a better person.

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I do have to give her props for calling herself

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 1>a hateful person as a teenager, because that would be

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:10.159
<v Speaker 1>really difficult to say and also quite difficult to reflect on.

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Behavior that you perhaps didn't associate with yourself anymore. I

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's difficult to call your past behavior out,

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, I feel like it's almost easier to

0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.480
<v Speaker 1>criticize the person you once were because you're no longer

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 1>that person anymore. Yeah, but I feel like a lot

0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.399
<v Speaker 1>of influencers would instead say, oh, I was stupid and

0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't well informed, But to say that you were

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.159
<v Speaker 1>actually filled with hate towards a different race of people.

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 2>One of the criticisms of El's initial apology was a

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 2>focus on that she was really young and a teenager.

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 2>So I do wonder if there is a purpose of saying,

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, my teenage self reiterating the fact that she

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.399
<v Speaker 2>was young when she did put these things out. I

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:51.400
<v Speaker 2>do think it is an improvement on the past apology, though.

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we've seen so many influencer apologies this

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:56.919
<v Speaker 1>year and also in twenty twenty one, and what a

0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:59.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of influencers generally don't do is make the apology

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>she a fixture on their feed, but she actually has.

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.639
<v Speaker 1>She didn't go down the route of having the traditional

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.199
<v Speaker 1>black background with the white writing. She made it a

0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>little more aesthetic for her feed because it is going

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 1>to be a permanent fixture. And it's interesting because when

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.840
<v Speaker 1>she uploaded the apology, she also changed her Instagram profile

0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to a pick of her her fiance Con and also

0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 1>her son, Saint on the Beach Eagle Eyede. Followers also

0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:27.919
<v Speaker 1>noticed the con has removed part time YouTuber from his bio,

0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 1>and neither Con or Elle have their YouTube channel linked anymore.

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 1>All they have is links to their clothing brands. So

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>this has led some followers to speculate that the couple

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:40.639
<v Speaker 1>are planning a complete rebrand. So instead of sticking with

0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 1>El Darby as a solo YouTube account, many think that

0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:46.719
<v Speaker 1>they are going to change their account over to a

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:50.160
<v Speaker 1>family channel name, perhaps the Swift Family. And this could

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.800
<v Speaker 1>help brands who were unaware of the controversies still want

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to work with her because when they go to Google

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Swift Family, they aren't going to come up with all

0:21:57.600 --> 0:21:59.360
<v Speaker 1>of this awful news about her.

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Gods, that's pretty clever because I think it makes sense

0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 2>as a natural progression for someone like Elle, who is

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.679
<v Speaker 2>getting married and has a child to turn her channel

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:10.919
<v Speaker 2>into a family channel. And I think that would be

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 2>very clever, particularly to change her name to Elle swift

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:17.600
<v Speaker 2>publicly now that there is so much negativity link to

0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 2>the name El Darby.

0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, Kay, And she has backed up the

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:23.959
<v Speaker 1>apology the next day by sharing a photo in her

0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 1>feed of her and her family on the beach and

0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>she wrote a forever thing. She then collaborated on the

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:32.959
<v Speaker 1>post with Con so it appeared on his feet and

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:34.879
<v Speaker 1>this is the first sign of life from Con. This

0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 1>is the first post that he has been part of.

0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.960
<v Speaker 1>And many followers were over the moon that she was back,

0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:42.880
<v Speaker 1>writing oh my God, look at Saint. Welcome back both

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:46.040
<v Speaker 1>of you. The comeback is always stronger than the setback,

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:49.439
<v Speaker 1>while another user wrote Saint's so big now, good to

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 1>see you back. Remember us angels that stayed loyal through

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and through. And I did notice that Elle was quick

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 1>to comment on a lot of her followers posts, writing

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.000
<v Speaker 1>love hearts or nice mess just back to them. So

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:03.080
<v Speaker 1>it's obvious that she is trying to stay in the

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:04.720
<v Speaker 1>good books with her followers.

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you know who probably was even more excited than

0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Elle's angel fans. It would have been the people on

0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Tattle Life. They would have been frothing that Elle is

0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:15.200
<v Speaker 2>back and that they can pick her life to pieces. Again.

0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, many have been putting the time of the reappearance

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:22.120
<v Speaker 1>under the spotlight. So one Twitter user roade Lle doing

0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:26.160
<v Speaker 1>a resurrection on a random Sunday is wild. Oh no, wait,

0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 1>it's been four months since her last video, and YouTube

0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:31.960
<v Speaker 1>stops paying if you're inactive for six months, so she

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:34.840
<v Speaker 1>needs to test the waters. What do you guys think

0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 1>about that comment and also the timing of the post. Well,

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't actually know that about YouTube, so I wouldn't

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:43.120
<v Speaker 1>be surprised. I mean, it does feel like it's been

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:46.879
<v Speaker 1>such a long time since the incident that in my mind,

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:49.360
<v Speaker 1>it almost feels like a good time for l to return.

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:50.440
<v Speaker 1>The thing is, it's not.

0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Like she uploaded a YouTube video exactly five and a

0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 2>bit months, so I don't know if the six months

0:23:56.480 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 2>really comes into it. I think she's left it a

0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 2>long enough time that it seems like people actually want

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 2>her back. I don't recall another influencer having this sort

0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:08.719
<v Speaker 2>of radio silence since a big scandal like this. The

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.120
<v Speaker 2>only other person I can think of is Shane Dawson

0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:14.880
<v Speaker 2>after his scandals, who went mia on YouTube for probably

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:18.119
<v Speaker 2>nearly a year. Think about James Charles, who always seems

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:20.679
<v Speaker 2>to find himself in controversies and they end up just

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.680
<v Speaker 2>using it as clickbait. At least L hasn't gone down

0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:26.840
<v Speaker 2>that path, But I suppose I can see the frustration

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 2>with many people because it appears that now that she's back,

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 2>people have forgotten her what she's done and just forgiven

0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:36.080
<v Speaker 2>her easily. And I think it's going to take more

0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 2>than that to change her image. She's actually going to

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 2>start having to action these apologies.

0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I didn't like about this apology

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:45.479
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of influencer apologies. I mean, yes, it

0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:48.119
<v Speaker 1>was well written. It's quite clear that a PI agency

0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:50.520
<v Speaker 1>or a manager has helped her put this together. But

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I always hate the way that they seem to touch

0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:56.480
<v Speaker 1>on self growth and discovery, and I don't know, it

0:24:56.560 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't really come across as genuine to me. It

0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 1>comes across as a bit wanky. I'd rather people just,

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, forget about talking about their spiritual journeys and

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:07.040
<v Speaker 1>just say I was a bit of a dickhead growing up? Well,

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:07.320
<v Speaker 1>is it?

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:10.439
<v Speaker 2>Because self growth is actually really difficult to show on

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.280
<v Speaker 2>a YouTube video. I mean that people can talk about

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:16.920
<v Speaker 2>journaling and reflecting, meditating, and I feel like those are

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:21.120
<v Speaker 2>trendy ways that people think that they show self growth,

0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:24.200
<v Speaker 2>but it is really something that is impossible to show

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:25.520
<v Speaker 2>when you work on yourself.

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, it's pretty amazing because the day the apology

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:33.160
<v Speaker 1>came out, she recorded one four hundred and twenty new followers.

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Then the following day she got twenty eighteen new followers,

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and the next day one thousand and forty six, and

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:43.720
<v Speaker 1>up until then she was gradually losing hundreds of followers

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 1>by the day. I wonder if that also had a

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 1>bit to do with her return, because she could see

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:50.480
<v Speaker 1>her follow account dwindling, and of course that would be

0:25:50.920 --> 0:25:53.880
<v Speaker 1>in reaction to the tweets, but also because she had

0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 1>been inactive for so long, people would think, why am

0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I following this? She's not even sharing on here anymore.

0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:01.360
<v Speaker 1>So will you go watch her content if she does

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 1>come back to YouTube, I'll definitely watch the first video

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:05.760
<v Speaker 1>that drops to see.

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:08.040
<v Speaker 2>What is going on. In terms of her channel, I

0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:10.199
<v Speaker 2>did used to like watching vogmas, but I found that

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 2>her vlogs were very long and boring and not much

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 2>actually happens in them.

0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 1>I used to enjoy her content because it did feel

0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 1>really wholesome and you know, like you're sitting down with

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a friend. However, I think it will be difficult to

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:26.080
<v Speaker 1>reconnect with her in that way. That being said, I

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:28.199
<v Speaker 1>do hate to use the term hate watch, but I

0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 1>do watch a lot of influencer content of people that

0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't particularly like. So it might be one of

0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 1>those things where you're sort of keeping an eye on

0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:38.160
<v Speaker 1>what happens just for the tea. I did enjoy her

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:41.160
<v Speaker 1>content before this controversy, and as you said, Kay, I'm

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:44.959
<v Speaker 1>going to be interested to see what the first video is. However,

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's ever going to be the same anyway.

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I need help revising what subjects do you do? What now? Yes? Now,

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 1>cetting design and PA pe yep. And that's an actual

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:57.719
<v Speaker 1>as level at the school I now attend, is it?

0:26:58.440 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh Gods, I don't know.

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Neil go for Sarah's Day has revealed she previously suffered

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:06.560
<v Speaker 1>from body dysmorphia. On her podcast The Health Code, she

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.520
<v Speaker 1>opened up about her fad dieting and how it drove

0:27:09.560 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 1>her distorted views of her body. Now, firstly, for those

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 1>who don't know Amy, what exactly is body dysmorphia? So,

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:19.600
<v Speaker 1>body dysmorphia is a mental health condition where you can't

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:23.399
<v Speaker 1>stop thinking about your perceived defects or flaws in your appearance.

0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:27.040
<v Speaker 1>So generally it's a flaw that's really minor to other people,

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes people don't even notice what this flaw is.

0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:34.440
<v Speaker 1>So those who have body dysmorphia intensely focus on their

0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:37.720
<v Speaker 1>appearance and body image. They may repeatedly check the mirror

0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:41.560
<v Speaker 1>or seek reassurance, sometimes for many hours each day. So

0:27:41.560 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 1>sop It was actually Kurt who questioned Sarah about her

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:47.840
<v Speaker 1>body image on the podcast, so he flat out asked her,

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 1>did you have body dysmorphia when you were trying out

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:54.560
<v Speaker 1>all those fad diets? And Sarah flat out replied yes. Now,

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Sarah explained that she felt embarrassed being a fitness influencer

0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:00.399
<v Speaker 1>at the time because she thought she didn't live up

0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:03.719
<v Speaker 1>to the expectation of what a fitness influencer should look like.

0:28:04.080 --> 0:28:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's have a listen to what Sarah said exactly.

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, I thought, how embarrassing that, like, I'm on social

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:13.720
<v Speaker 3>media to be this fitness person and like I look

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 3>like this. I honestly thought I had so much weight

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:18.840
<v Speaker 3>to lose and I was so flabby and squishy, and

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 3>I look back I'm like I look twelve, so I

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 3>was so lean and not in a cool way in

0:28:26.440 --> 0:28:29.240
<v Speaker 3>like a oh seah, like what are you doing? I

0:28:29.640 --> 0:28:35.239
<v Speaker 3>truly eat for beautiful skin and beautiful hair and a

0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:38.160
<v Speaker 3>mind that can concentrate, like I eat so much for

0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:39.080
<v Speaker 3>my mind now.

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Now, this admission has led to a lot of questions

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 2>about whether Sarah should now remove her old YouTube videos,

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:49.520
<v Speaker 2>which glorifies these fad diets, and I.

0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Would tend to agree.

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I just don't think she should be able to say

0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 2>something like this and then keep online all this harmful

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:58.160
<v Speaker 2>content that is going to make other people follow what

0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:01.840
<v Speaker 2>she was doing. Well, what's most disturbing about these videos

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 2>is these are the videos.

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 1>That made Sarah blow up on YouTube. So there's obviously

0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 1>a reason why she hasn't deleted them because I'm assuming

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:12.120
<v Speaker 1>they are still making her a lot of money, and

0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 1>they're probably being viewed weekly by hundreds of thousands of

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 1>impressionable people who may discover her from these videos. When

0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 1>you do look back at some of her old videos,

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them are what I eat in the

0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 1>day video, so they're basically a step by step guide

0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:30.280
<v Speaker 1>of how to eat like Sarah's day when she was

0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 1>suffering from body dysmorphia. So it's really frightening that this

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 1>sort of content is out there. And although she does

0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:38.200
<v Speaker 1>seem to think that she's moved past this and is

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:41.120
<v Speaker 1>eating in a healthier way, I do think she probably

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:43.800
<v Speaker 1>has some of those thoughts still there, because on the

0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:46.680
<v Speaker 1>podcast she was saying, Oh, I now will eat sour

0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:49.960
<v Speaker 1>dough bread, and I eat healthy eighty to ninety percent

0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 1>of the time. And I don't know, I just feel

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:54.600
<v Speaker 1>like it's still quite dangerous to have someone using their

0:29:54.600 --> 0:29:58.400
<v Speaker 1>platform to promote healthy lifestyle and healthy eating when they're

0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 1>still suffering from something clearly themse what about when she said, oh,

0:30:01.640 --> 0:30:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I now just eat for my skin and hair, And

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, what about just eating to, you know,

0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 1>out of enjoyment. Why does it have to be for something? Well,

0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:11.640
<v Speaker 1>on her Instagram story the other day, she sard that

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 1>she went into a shop and she had to stop

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 1>herself from buying this large bag of life Savor Apple

0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Sherbet lollies, which looked delicious, and she was saying how

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:23.080
<v Speaker 1>she yeah, and she was saying how she and curred

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:24.720
<v Speaker 1>her on these diets at the moment where it was

0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:27.080
<v Speaker 1>mainly her Kurts not sticking to it, but you know,

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:30.040
<v Speaker 1>she's feeling really good, eating healthy, and instead of that,

0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 1>she might have, you know, a date covered in peanut

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:35.959
<v Speaker 1>butter or something that's terrible. That's and I was like,

0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>you would have actually been so much more relatable to

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:40.200
<v Speaker 1>just go out and get the bag of lollies. I

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 1>mean I saw these bag of lollies in question and

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:44.720
<v Speaker 1>actually went out that night and bought them. They looked

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:45.120
<v Speaker 1>so good.

0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Did anyone else think that she put it on her

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:50.000
<v Speaker 2>story to keep herself accountable so that she wouldn't go

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:52.240
<v Speaker 2>back and eat the lollies because I was giving me

0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:54.600
<v Speaker 2>vibes because you didn't really need to post that it's

0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:57.240
<v Speaker 2>a weird little food journal almost.

0:30:56.880 --> 0:30:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Does anyone else think it's a little bit awkward that

0:30:59.000 --> 0:31:01.960
<v Speaker 1>she has made this admit because I feel like she

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:04.960
<v Speaker 1>thinks she's being relatable by saying it. However, it just

0:31:05.040 --> 0:31:08.160
<v Speaker 1>contradicts their whole brand because Sarah is known as a

0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:11.000
<v Speaker 1>fitness influencer. That's what she's made her money on. Yet

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>she's saying, actually, I had body dysmorphia, I wasn't eating

0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:18.760
<v Speaker 1>proper food. It's just super awkward. I feel like it'd

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:20.760
<v Speaker 1>be more powerful if she actually came out with a

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:24.080
<v Speaker 1>post on an Instagram story or did a video announcing

0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 1>that she did previously suffer from it, and perhaps get

0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 1>some experts involved, and you know, had a bit more

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:32.480
<v Speaker 1>thought behind how she was going to report that information

0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to her following, rather than just sort of touching on

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 1>it briefly on a five minute podcast episode and then

0:31:38.480 --> 0:31:41.360
<v Speaker 1>going through and deleting the content like that's the most

0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:43.960
<v Speaker 1>important thing. Why hasn't she deleted the content if she

0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 1>realizes at the time there was something distorted with the

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:49.680
<v Speaker 1>way that she was eating and the way she viewed

0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:50.160
<v Speaker 1>her body.

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that's all we've got time for today.
