WEBVTT - Skye Wheatley The 'Uncancellable' Influencer

0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Episode one.

0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:07.920
<v Speaker 2>The Uncancellable Influencer, Sky Wheatley became a household name when

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:10.960
<v Speaker 2>she came third on Big Brother Australia in twenty fourteen,

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:18.760
<v Speaker 2>It's Time to Go Sky. While most housemates faded into obscurity,

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Sky turned her fifteen minutes of fame into nine years

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 2>of notoriety. The former barista managed to cultivate an online

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 2>following by sharing every element of her life and we

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>mean everything.

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about our sex?

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 4>Well?

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>Sky's ditzy personality earned her a legion of fans on

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 2>reality TV, her uneducated opinions have got her in hot water.

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Online controversy has plagued her influencer career, from racist remarks

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 2>to blaming domestic violence victims. The scandals just keep coming,

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 2>but somehow Sky remains relevant online. She is still inundated

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 2>with sponsorship deals and has over six hundred thousand followers

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram. In this series, we investigate what makes Sky

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Wheatley the Uncancellable Influencer. We are journalist Sophie Kate and

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Amy Torbert and this is outspoken plus. Now I want

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 2>to take you guys back to twenty fourteen, when Sky

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Wheatley first shot to fame on season eleven of Big Brother,

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 2>because I think a lot of people don't actually realize

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 2>this is how she became famous. So she was just

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty years old at the time and working as a

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 2>barista on the Gold Coast, and she was actually the

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>youngest contestant to enter the house in that series and

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 2>was often called shallow and naive by her fellow housemates.

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.399
<v Speaker 2>I remember the producers used to try and niggle her

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 2>into reacting, so one time they took away her makeup bag,

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.199
<v Speaker 2>and she also used to hate it because in those

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 2>series of Big Brother, they didn't allow the contestants to

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>have hair straighteners or hair curlers, and she used to

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>get so upset because she wasn't able to do her

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 2>hair and make herself look presentable. I remember all of

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 2>them were wearing braids in their hair at the time,

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.279
<v Speaker 2>and she always went off about her regrowth. I remember

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Sophie said, you'd never go into the Big Brother house

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>just based on the fact that you couldn't bring hair straighteners.

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh, definitely.

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's kind of interesting now on Love Island

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 2>that they literally have the makeup and hairstation for all

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>of the contestants because they know how vital it is

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 2>that they look attractive on TV. Because it's obviously more marketable.

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>It's also a good opportunity for them to get sponsors

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>through those brands. Now, Sky did have an in house

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>romance with the Canadian intruder Leo. It's funny because his

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 2>name was really Ryan, but he couldn't be called Ryan

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>because there was another Ryan in the house, and he

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 2>went on to win the show. I actually had to

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 2>google who the hell one Big Brother that year. I

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 2>actually have no recollection of Leo, but I do remember

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 2>the winner Ryan. I think Sky had a crush on him.

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 2>He was asked about whether he would pursue a relationship

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>outside of the house with Sky and it was a

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 2>big fat no. Well, despite getting nominated a lot in

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>the house, Sky was very popular with the outside world

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 2>and she ended up finishing third behind Travis. And also

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Ryan isn't Travis al from the past, Do you remember

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>what happened?

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>He was that real nerdy guy that had a find voice.

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Was now he was that hot guy.

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was just your typical buff Trady And I

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 2>feel like this was a time where you could only

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 2>be male and twenty years old and attractive to win

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Big Brother for a long time. I think it was

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>because a lot of younger girls watch Big Brother, So

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 2>that's why ultimately it ended up being the hot Trades

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 2>that would win.

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't it just.

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Show that I can't actually remember any of these other people?

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Bass guy?

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Of how successful she has been coming out of this show. Yeah, Well,

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 2>when she left the house, she said that she felt

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 2>like she was born to be on Big Brother, but

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>concluded that she wasn't smart enough to have a strategy,

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 2>so was just herself. And I think that's why she

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 2>did so well on the show, because she truly was herself.

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>She wasn't putting up a front for anyone. It's quite

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>hilarious to watch some of this vision back of her

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 2>on the show. To a certain extent, I think that's

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 2>why a lot of people like her now, because she

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 2>doesn't put up a barrier between her and the followers.

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>She does share a lot about her life and it's

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 2>not edited, and I think it was quite clear how

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 2>excited she was to be on Big Brother. Years later,

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>in a Q and A, she said it's still her

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 2>biggest achievement, and she said I couldn't describe to you

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>guys the joy that I felt when they called me

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>and said you're in. It was the most amazing thing

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>ever I achieved that out of thousands of people, they

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>chose me. What was interesting about Big Brother twenty fourteen

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>was it coincided with the rise in popularity of social media.

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we did have Tarlie Smythe the season before.

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 2>I think she was one of the first Big Brother

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 2>contestants to actually build a following off the back of

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>the show, and she has been so successful now she

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 2>is still relevant today. I wonder if Sky took any

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>tips from Tully, because while she says she wasn't very

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 2>intelligent and couldn't come up with a strategy for Big Brother,

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 2>she actually cultivated an amazing strategy to stay relevant and

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>big on social media. She paired up with influencer Kurt Coleman.

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 2>And I still remember the photos that emerged in the

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Daily Mail of this pair because she was wearing this

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>very fluo bikini and they were giving each other piggybacks.

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 2>And it turned out this whole photo shoot was staged

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>by Kurt Coleman because he was trying to push his

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 2>own TV show at the time. He was trying to

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.279
<v Speaker 2>do a simple life TV version, and I I wonder

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 2>if Sky was maybe going.

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:02.239
<v Speaker 1>To be a coast.

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 2>She'd be the perfect coaster for a show like that.

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 2>She actually said in a recent podcast interview on The

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Unhinged podcast that she was motivated by Tani, who was

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>one of the Big Brother contestants. She actually had a

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.480
<v Speaker 2>larger following than Sky at the time, and she said

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 2>that she was in awe of how she grew her following.

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy when you look back at this vision of

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Sky on Big Brother, it really emphasizes the physical transformation

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 2>that she has gone through over the last nine years.

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>She previously said she had an obsession with cosmetic surgery

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 2>that stemmed from actually being on Big Brother, and in

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 2>a YouTube video responding to assumptions about herself, she shared

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>her struggles with body image. She said, I was always

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 2>very self conscious of my weight, very insecure about everything

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.799
<v Speaker 2>about me, insecure about my eyebags, my skin, how white

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>I was, my hair. I would honestly try to cover

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 2>up as much as my face as possible with a

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 2>hat and lots of makeup. I think when I turned fifteen,

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I would pack on the makeup and I still hated myself.

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I hated my teeth, I hated my freckles, I hated

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 2>my nose, hated it. I never learned to accept my

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 2>nose and went and had plastic surgery. That's really sad

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>because you do reflect on how young she was to

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>be on Big Brother and the fact that ten years

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.840
<v Speaker 2>ago those shows were massive. She was a household name,

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 2>and there would have been, particularly at that time when

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 2>the Internet was flourishing, there would have been a lot

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.599
<v Speaker 2>of criticism held her way. It's crazy because I feel

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 2>like she looks really good on Big Brother. Well, she's

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>always looked good, and that's the thing. It's nothing to

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>do with her appearance. It's clearly something to do with

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>her self confidence. And I do like that she has

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.359
<v Speaker 2>always been very open about plastic surgeries. I feel like

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.840
<v Speaker 2>she was one of the first influencers who was very

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 2>transparent about the procedures that she got, and I think

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 2>that's why she got a lot of traction to her

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 2>YouTube channel in the beginning, because if you take a

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 2>look back at some of the first videos, they are

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>talking about her nose job, they're also talking about the

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.920
<v Speaker 2>cosmetic procedures that she wants to get done, and as

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 2>you said, Kate, she did it in a really open way,

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 2>and people hadn't seen that before online because during that

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 2>time people were hiding.

0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Whatever they had had done.

0:06:59.000 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of her early videos have actually

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>been deleted though, because she did do a vlog series

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 2>about her Bangkok boob job and I'd almost forgotten about this.

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>So back in twenty fifteen, she underwent a breast augmentation

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>as part of a promotional deal with a medical tourism company.

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Now Sky wanted to get the boob job done because

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 2>she complained that her breasts were asymmetrical, and she said

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 2>that Mehdi Makeovers actually approached her to do a contra deal,

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 2>so in exchange for the boob job, she had to

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 2>promote the business. However, Sky claims that she had the

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 2>consultation a day before the surgery and wasn't informed of

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 2>any possible complications. She also complained that the doctor didn't

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 2>speak much English, and in the end, Sky ended up

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>having these boobs that she didn't like. She said she

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 2>had a noticeable double bubble in her right breast and

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 2>was in a lot of pain. It's scary to consider

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 2>that she was only twenty one when they approached her

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>for this contra deal, and in twenty fifteen, I don't

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of us were that aware of these

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>contra deals that were taking place. I wonder if the

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 2>brand made her take it down. Well, it's very interesting

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 2>you say that, because in twenty eighteen, Sky actually appeared

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 2>on the episode of Trial by Kyle, So think of

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Judge Dudy, but with Kyle Sandalands as the judge. It

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 2>was a part of Channel ten's pilot series, and in

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>the episode, Sky explained that her botch surgery had made

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 2>her even more insecure about her breast and was very

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>upset over them and spent nights crying about it. So

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 2>I did feel very sorry for her. But interestingly, the

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 2>company medi Makeover countersued for a breach of contract and defamation.

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 2>So representatives of the company claimed that Sky didn't wear

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.839
<v Speaker 2>her compression bra for the suggested time and performed chess

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>based exercises when she wasn't supposed to. It's quite funny

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 2>because the evidence they pulled up to back their claims

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 2>were photos of Sky from Instagram of her walking her

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 2>dog without the compression bra, and also a photo of

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>her doing a plank at the gym not long after

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the surgery. So what did Kyle rule? So he actually

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 2>ruled in favor of medi makeovers and said that you

0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 2>know that she didn't do the right thing and that

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 2>she needed to apologize. Sky conceded, saying, I did breach

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>the contract. Yeah, they probably could have sued me for

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.839
<v Speaker 2>doing that. Well. She actually ended up spending twenty eight

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.719
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars on corrective surgery and got that done in Australia,

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and speaking about the surgery, she said, I'm having to

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 2>fork out a lot of money to fix my boobs.

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 2>They're too big and fake and are still wonky. It

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 2>is really crazy to look back at twenty fifteen when

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.559
<v Speaker 2>she had the first boob job to see the reporting,

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 2>because there was this disgusting article written by The Daily

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Mail entitled Bangkok Babies out for her birthday Big Brothers.

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Sky Wheatley celebrates her twenty first by showing off newly

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 2>enhanced chest alongside pouting power Kurt Coleman. Is it wrong

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.800
<v Speaker 2>that I still think that that headline would fly on

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the Daily Mail? Now? Look, they haven't moved on that much.

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 2>So in the article, it said Sky Wheatley wanted to

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 2>showcase her new boobs aka her bangcock babies as she

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 2>celebrated her twenty first birthday over the weekend. The article

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 2>went on to say the blonde two roaster fame on

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 2>the twenty fourteen installment of Big Brother Australia thanks to

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 2>her airhead person owner and temper tantrums, left little to

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 2>the imagination in her skin tight cookye dress.

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 1>God that took me back.

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 2>They also quoted her as saying that she wants to

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 2>pose for Maxim in a bikini, but she doesn't find

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 2>topless modeling classy. She was then quoted as calling Kim

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Kardashian money hungry and fame hungry for posing nude and

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 2>said I'm not that desperate. Hopefully I can get publicity

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 2>in a classy way now. In December twenty sixteen, Sky

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 2>shed her nose job vlog, which was very new for

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 2>the time, and she started off by saying, I'm not

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 2>trying to harm this generation by putting it out here,

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 2>and she documented each day of her recovery process and

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 2>spoke about how painful the surgery was, and she kept

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 2>talking about being worried about having a pig nose. It

0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.680
<v Speaker 2>did make me laugh because her nose was very swollen,

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>and she also spoke about the not so glamorous sides

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 2>of plastic surgery, talking about how constipated the medicine made her.

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 2>I feel like this really was the beginning of people

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 2>using YouTube as somewhat of a Google search in terms

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 2>of looking up what will it be like if I

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 2>want to have a nose job, what will the process

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 2>be like?

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 1>What will the recovery be like?

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 2>It's ironic that you say that, because at the end

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 2>of the vlog, Sky said, I've been frantically googling stuff

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 2>about rhinoplasty, which is what I should have done in

0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 2>the first place. So I didn't freak out. But when

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 2>does Sky Whitley ever do her research? Never so was

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 2>this a gifted nose job? No, she actually paid for

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 2>this one. She flew to Sydney to have it done,

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 2>so she wasn't trying out any more plastic surgery overseas.

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 2>I do remember a vlog where she entitled it that

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 2>her nose was falling off. I mean, obviously to get views,

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 2>but I mean I think everyone was really curious to

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 2>watch this process. I did like that she was pretty

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 2>honest about it, like it did look horrible, and she

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 2>spoke about being in a lot of pain and showed

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 2>all the swelling. I think it would have probably put

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people off. I think another huge part

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 2>of Sky's ability to stay relevant was the friends that

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 2>she hung around. So in twenty seventeen, she befriended the

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 2>girl Shanni Grimman, as well as their bestie Michael Finch,

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 2>and Sky quickly began infiltrating Shanny's famous friendship group through

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Michael Finch, who used to be a bit big fan

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 2>of Big Brother. Now Michael Finch became a permanent fixture

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 2>of Sky's channel, and she often appeared in the background

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 2>of some of his vlogs. I feel like she would

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 2>really try and turn it on whenever she was in

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Michael's blogs, also on her own like she seemed to

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 2>be a bit of a performing monkey, like I remember

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 2>she used to be famous for making these orgasm sounds.

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 2>And there was this iconic vlog I was watching while

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I was researching this topic about Splendor in the Grass,

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.839
<v Speaker 2>and she kept screaming famous, Actually, let's throw to a

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 2>clip because I'm not doing it justice.

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 6>Whorum Baum, Famous, Famous, Famous, Famous, Famous, Famous Simouth Tamas

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 6>famous claws.

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.640
<v Speaker 2>It was pretty obvious she was in awe of this

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 2>group of friends. And I did some digging and I

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 2>found an old Q and A that Sky had done

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 2>after coming out of the Big Brother House, and she

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 2>actually revealed that Sharnie Grimmond was her celebrity crush.

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's have a listen.

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 7>Who are your celebrity crushes? Probably Tammy Hambrow and Shiny.

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 7>Would you classify down celebrities?

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 7>I don't really follow celebrities as such. I just stalk

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 7>people on Instagram, So for me, they are like celebrities.

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 7>They are like the two cheeks that are stalk daily.

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys remember that infamous trip that they all

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 2>did to New York.

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh, wasn't that the beginning of the end for this group?

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 2>You could tell that they were also pissed off with

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.439
<v Speaker 2>each other, and it's come out in numerous YouTube videos

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.800
<v Speaker 2>since they all had massive fights with each other. Yeah,

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 2>we're actually going to get into that friendship bust up

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 2>in another Outspoken Plus episode. For those who can't remember,

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the people that were on that group trip were Shani Grimman,

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Michael Finch, Lilly Brown, and Rannie Bransbey. Of course, Skuy

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Wheatley was there annoying everyone.

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 9>They all know it, we know it, you know it.

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Actually, yeah, you're right. I'm gonna get it.

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 6>Shut a vanilla syrup because.

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 7>I mean new yucka no, no, made.

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 4>You care?

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 7>Now we're renew ya.

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I think she was really getting on Shanny's nerves.

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 2>You could see in her face because there is a

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 2>clip where Sky is vlogging and you can tell that

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Shanny just wants to get the fuck out of there,

0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 2>and not being a vlog you just basically snub Sky

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 2>in the videos. To be fair to Shanny, I think

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 2>that's because she was apparently being left out by Michael

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Finch for the entire trip, but we'll go into that

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 2>in another series. I also think it's because Shanny is

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 2>an introvert, whereas Sky is clearly an extrovert. She probably

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 2>needed some time away from the group recharging her batteries.

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Well have you ever watched Sky's blog and it literally

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 2>seems like it's not been edited and goes for like

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 2>an hour and I can't watch anymore.

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 2>In a time where phrases like couple goals were trending

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 2>and influencers were only sharing highlights from their relationships. Sky

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Wheatley again was bucking the trend, so she wasn't afraid

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 2>to share the ups and downs of the relationships that

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 2>she was in, and she really did give her followers

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 2>an all access pass into her life to the point

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 2>where she would include full blown arguments with her partners

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 2>in vlogs. And in the early days, she shared about

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 2>her relationship with this trade called Cam. I mean, there

0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 2>were a million red flags with that guy in the vlogs.

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 2>I watched one where she was talking about him doing

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 2>a very smelly pooh and he kind of reminded me

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 2>of LOCKI like, just the way he spoke was very similar,

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 2>and the way she spoke to him, She's like Horney.

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my god.

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>And Sky admits that as soon as she broke up

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 2>with Cam, she jumped on Tinder and started talking to

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 2>this new guy, Locky War. So this was around November

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventeen, and I really loved this era of the

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 2>vlogs because Lockie did become a permanent fixture very quickly,

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.760
<v Speaker 2>and they do look like one of those brother and

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 2>sister couples.

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 1>You can tell a lot of the time.

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 2>He does not want to be filmed though, like he

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 2>is happy to just give her nothing and basically tell

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 2>her a fuck off.

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Well she's filming.

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.680
<v Speaker 2>There's been so many iconic vlogs of when Sky and

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Lockey first started dating. I love the ones when Sky

0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 2>first met Lockie's parents and you could just tell that

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 2>they still didn't like her. It's like, what the hell,

0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 2>because it's clear that Lockie's parents were quite well to do. Yeah,

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 2>they had a bit of money, and I remember it

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 2>was around Christmas time and I don't know if it

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 2>was on Christmas Day or whatever, but they caught up

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 2>for this fancy dinner and Sky literally gave zero fuck.

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 2>She had the vlogging camera out at dinner, she was

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 2>filming the parents. She was all over Lockie and you

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 2>could just see how uncomfortable the whole family felt. I

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 2>feel like my favorite Lockie and Sky vlog is when

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 2>they did that McDonald's muk bunk and went off about

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 2>having no sweet and sour soil. So why didn't you

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 2>get why didn't you check Lockie? Well, to be fair,

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 2>that is very annoying when that happens, and it's just

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 2>so crazy because she seemed to move into Lockey's house

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 2>straight away, and Lockie works as a shop fitter and

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 2>at the time he was recently building his own house.

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 2>They were doing up the garden together and they were

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 2>doing these mini renos. I just remember watching with my

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 2>partner Brandon, and it's so funny because there was sort

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 2>of something for the men and the women, because the

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 2>men liked seeing the reno's and the girls liked seeing

0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Sky just being hilarious. It's pretty well because they were

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.640
<v Speaker 2>actually only to get yeah for four months when they

0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.359
<v Speaker 2>discovered that Sky was pregnant, and they did break the

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 2>news at the three month mark on Instagram, sharing a

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.560
<v Speaker 2>really cute photo of them sitting amongst a ton of

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 2>cactus plants, gazing at each other with a baby balloon

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.679
<v Speaker 2>in the background, and Sky wrote in the caption, We're pregnant.

0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.399
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't think of anything better than starting a family with

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:19.679
<v Speaker 2>this handsome man.

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:21.160
<v Speaker 1>They of course, also.

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Broke the news on Sky's YouTube channel with a thirty

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 2>three minute long vlog where they showed them breaking the

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.200
<v Speaker 2>news to their shocked family members.

0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's throw to Lockie's mum's reaction.

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 5>We've got a little surprise for you. What what.

0:17:46.800 --> 0:18:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Sky clips Sky's pregnant. What Yeah, no, it's not

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 3>a joke.

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:23.160
<v Speaker 5>Really yeah, yes, she's pregnant. You're gonna have some more grandkids. Yeah,

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:35.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so not. Yeah yeah sort of yeah, yeah,

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.280
<v Speaker 5>thank you. You're on the oud speaker too, and you're

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:39.359
<v Speaker 5>being filmed.

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:47.400
<v Speaker 6>Hi Jane.

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So that was Lockie's mom's reaction. I'd say she

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 4>was like, well, I could tell she was super shocked

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 4>at the start, and then she started to think about

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.159
<v Speaker 4>it and it's sunk in. She got like over the

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:05.200
<v Speaker 4>top excited because she started crying, which is like really cute.

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel sorry for Locke's mum because it's a bit

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 2>harsh that they recorded her without her knowledge. I love

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 2>how so deep into the conversation, Lockie's like, oh, by

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.639
<v Speaker 2>the way, you're on loud speaker and Sky's here, and

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:18.160
<v Speaker 2>then she's.

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Like, hi, Lucky's man.

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.439
<v Speaker 2>Do you think Sky was so naive that she actually

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 2>thought Locky's mum was genuinely excited?

0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:25.360
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I think that maybe Locky's mom sort of brought it

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:30.359
<v Speaker 2>back a bit, like maybe we didn't see a bit

0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 2>of the groveling afterwards, because it was quite clear that

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 2>she was not in press, would you be like, after

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.919
<v Speaker 2>your son dating this girl for four months who shoved

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.200
<v Speaker 2>a camera in your face and his family opportunities.

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 1>It was just super awkward.

0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 2>That's the only word di Can needs to describe the audio.

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Well Sky actually found out that she was pregnant once

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.320
<v Speaker 2>she and Locke returned from a trip to Balley.

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:51.919
<v Speaker 1>And this is really.

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Awkward audio that I will plan a second because she

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 2>said that she realized she was sick because on the

0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 2>plane she was drinking a lot, and then the next

0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.679
<v Speaker 2>day she felt really unwell, but it wasn't the normal

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:03.479
<v Speaker 2>hangover unwell feeling.

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's throw to the clip.

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.160
<v Speaker 6>Well, I could pretty much already tell that I was

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:14.240
<v Speaker 6>pregnant because I'd had a bit to drink on the plane,

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.200
<v Speaker 6>Like I had some red wine on the plane.

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 8>I think I had like three or four glasses of

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.879
<v Speaker 8>red wine. And the next morning I woke up feeling

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.680
<v Speaker 8>so so sick. So I was like, hm, I might

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:31.680
<v Speaker 8>be pregnant because like, normally my hangovers aren't that bad

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 8>and I don't feel like that shit. So I kind

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 8>of had a fair idea and I was like, yep,

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 8>we really need to go get a pregnancy test. So

0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 8>we went and did that, and I peed on the

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:44.880
<v Speaker 8>stick and it was positive.

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.280
<v Speaker 6>In case y'all thought I was lying, here's the proof.

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Probably some of those details could have been left out

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.080
<v Speaker 2>of the pregnancy announced in it.

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I also thought it was.

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.879
<v Speaker 2>Classic how she had the pregnancy stick to prove to

0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.040
<v Speaker 2>everyone that she was in fact pregnant because no one

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:01.199
<v Speaker 2>believed her. That's how she shocking this news was at

0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the time. Well. During a recent interview on The Unhinged podcast,

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Guy explained that they weren't using any protection and were

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:10.200
<v Speaker 2>open to the idea of having a baby together.

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Straight away, Let's row to what she said.

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 9>It wasn't necessarily an accident because we did talk about it.

0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 9>We were like, we're like happy for it to happen.

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.400
<v Speaker 9>If it happens, it happens, you know. So we weren't trying,

0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:27.119
<v Speaker 9>but we weren't preventing. Yeah, so that happened. Felt pregnant first,

0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 9>go took a pregnancy test, found out I was pregnant.

0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:33.879
<v Speaker 9>I honestly kind of freaked out. Lockie was really happy.

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:34.880
<v Speaker 9>He was actually really.

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:35.240
<v Speaker 3>Cute to see.

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:36.280
<v Speaker 7>That's really nice.

0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:37.720
<v Speaker 8>It was cute to see.

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 9>His reaction, like he was actually stoked. But he was

0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 9>a little bit older than me, but still.

0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 2>I was quite surprised to hear that this was somewhat planned,

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 2>that the two of them were open to starting a

0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:52.680
<v Speaker 2>family so young together, because you don't really hear about

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:54.760
<v Speaker 2>that anymore. So it was nice to hear that Locke

0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 2>was really genuinely excited to find out this news. I mean,

0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>they probably were in a bit of a honeymoon stage

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 2>their relationship, and I do feel like once people have kids,

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 2>they probably want to go and put out on the record.

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, it was kind of planned.

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 5>Well.

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.479
<v Speaker 2>Not long after the announcement, Sky opened up about a

0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:14.119
<v Speaker 2>health scare she experience during an early ultrasound. So She

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:16.880
<v Speaker 2>said she was concerned about the development of her unborn

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:20.560
<v Speaker 2>baby since she was drinking heavily on her holiday before

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:23.400
<v Speaker 2>she found out she was pregnant. So Sky told NW

0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:26.359
<v Speaker 2>magazine that the sonographer couldn't find the nasal bone of

0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 2>the baby, which can be the first sign of down syndrome.

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 2>She said when they went back for their thirteen week scan,

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:35.639
<v Speaker 2>the nasal bone was then visible in the scans. I

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.880
<v Speaker 2>had forgotten about this because this would have been incredibly scary,

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 2>especially for a.

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Young couple to find this out.

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:45.880
<v Speaker 2>It brings me back to Sarah's day, obviously telling her

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:49.560
<v Speaker 2>audience that something was wrong in her pregnancy. From memory,

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Sky did open up about this once she had the

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 2>all clear. It's a real blast from the past to

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 2>hear about NW magazine, even though it wasn't that long

0:22:57.080 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 2>ago now, the early stages of Sky's pregnant see well

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.160
<v Speaker 2>quite eventful. She did lose her license for six months now.

0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:07.360
<v Speaker 2>She had previously lost her license in twenty thirteen before

0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:10.879
<v Speaker 2>appearing on Big Brother for driving under the influence of alcohol,

0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and in a separate occasion, also lost all but one

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 2>demerit point for speeding. Sky did open up in a

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Q and A saying she lost her license for speeding

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 2>in a school zone. She explained she was on her

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:24.359
<v Speaker 2>way to F forty five and thought the school zone

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.359
<v Speaker 2>was over, however it was still very much in place.

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 2>She said she drove sixty kilometers in a forty kilometer area.

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Not a good look speeding in a school zone. But

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:35.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean when you hear that, you think that someone's

0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:36.159
<v Speaker 2>absolutely fanging it.

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 1>But she was clearly doing sixty ks.

0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you would assume that it was fifty k's

0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:42.919
<v Speaker 2>in the area. Well true, I mean maybe not on

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:43.600
<v Speaker 2>a main road.

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Some schools in the main road.

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, she had only one demerit point left, so

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.720
<v Speaker 2>she did immediately lose her license for a month. I

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:53.640
<v Speaker 2>do recall just before she gave birth, she was out

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 2>shopping for like a push present car and Lockie bought

0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 2>her like this flash car even though she couldn't drive.

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 2>You know what was so funny in the video where

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 2>she's opening up about losing her license, She's like, as

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:08.000
<v Speaker 2>soon as they get in my car, I'm gonna fuck shit. Uh,

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:10.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm gonna stick to all of the road rules.

0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys remember the buzz around her pregnancy though,

0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:17.000
<v Speaker 2>because it was around Christmas time and she was sharing

0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:21.040
<v Speaker 2>constantly on her stories about you know, is this the day.

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give birth?

0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:24.040
<v Speaker 2>And it ended up it was Christmas Eve in twenty

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:27.280
<v Speaker 2>eighteen when she gave birth to her first child, Forest,

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:30.000
<v Speaker 2>and she actually broke the news on Christmas Day, sharing

0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:32.399
<v Speaker 2>a photo of Forest bundled up in a blanket with

0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:34.919
<v Speaker 2>the captions so in love and I think there was

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:37.440
<v Speaker 2>a bit of debate about whether Sky would actually share

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:39.720
<v Speaker 2>a photo of Forest, or perhaps if she was going

0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:42.159
<v Speaker 2>to set up a magazine deal. Well, in the first photo,

0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:45.439
<v Speaker 2>she was quite strategic because she did cut out Forest's space.

0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 2>She also then hours later posted up a photo of

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Lockie cradling the baby and wrote best Christmas present and

0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:53.880
<v Speaker 2>you could sort of make out his face. But it

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:57.639
<v Speaker 2>wasn't until a week or so later that she uploaded

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 2>a labor vlog where she revealed Forest. So she didn't

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:03.959
<v Speaker 2>have any deal in place, she just announced it immediately.

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 2>As we all expected, Sky did not hold back in

0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:09.919
<v Speaker 2>the labor vog. It did go for thirty three minutes,

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:12.520
<v Speaker 2>and you really felt like a fly on the wall

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 2>as she was going through her first contractions. She also

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:19.119
<v Speaker 2>showed herself driving to the hospital and puffing back on morphine,

0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 2>saying she felt like she was off her face. Yeah,

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 2>and we also saw the first moment that Forest was

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:26.720
<v Speaker 2>put on her chest for the first time. Her pregnancy

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 2>was a couple of months before Sarah's day, so I

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:32.600
<v Speaker 2>feel like it was really that time when there was

0:25:32.640 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 2>so much anticipation of these influencer kids, and it was

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 2>the first time a lot of us were seeing these

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:40.959
<v Speaker 2>labor vlogs in full swing. What do we think of

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:41.440
<v Speaker 2>the name?

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't a fan of the name.

0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:45.879
<v Speaker 2>I say that in knowing our best friend's dog is

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 2>actually called Forest, I feel like it's more of an

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 2>animal's name. Yeah, it's a nice name for a dog.

0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:52.119
<v Speaker 2>I just think of Forest Gump. Yeah, I mean, I

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:54.640
<v Speaker 2>do think it suits him. Now, these names always grow

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 2>on me. It's sort of like Sarah's Day's child Fox.

0:25:57.320 --> 0:25:59.479
<v Speaker 2>I mean, now, I couldn't think of him being anything

0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:03.159
<v Speaker 2>else but not my personal cup of tea. Well, that

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:05.240
<v Speaker 2>is where we are going to leave you today. In

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 2>next week's episode, we will dive headfirst into sky Wheatley's

0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 2>biggest controversies, promaccusations of racism and cultural appropriation to the

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 2>shaming of domestic violence victims. This episode was recorded on

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the traditional land of the Ghana people of the Adelaide Plains.

0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:23.479
<v Speaker 1>We pay respect to elders past and present, and

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:25.360
<v Speaker 2>If you have enjoyed today's show, could you please make

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:27.320
