WEBVTT - The Influencer Wedding of the Year 

0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Hello and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:12.039
<v Speaker 1>hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Amy Torber and coming up on today's show, Tammy Hembro

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and Matt Zakowski are officially husband and wife, and the

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>privacy debate surrounding Liam Payne's funeral. But first, there's an

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 1>influencer story that would normally be headlining our show, but

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>due to legal reasons, we have to be careful about

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>how we discuss it. Yeah, so what we can say

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>is a Queensland influencer prolific on TikTok, is being investigated

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>for child harm against her toddler. It's been confirmed that

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.239
<v Speaker 1>the one year old was placed in foster care on

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the twenty first of October after medical staff reported serious concerns. Now,

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the medical staff raised the alarm, suspecting it could be

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>a case of Munchausen's syndrome by proxy, which is a

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>psychological disorder in which a caregiver allegedly abuses a child

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and presents them as sick. Now, Queensland Police have released

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>statement saying that they have taken action to protect the

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>child and have commenced an investigation. Their statement continued, saying

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>as this is an active investigation, it would be inappropriate

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>to provide further comment. At a press conference, South Brisbane

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>District Chief Superintendent Andrew Palotto described the investigation as protracted

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and complicated, adding it will take a bit of time,

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>but I can assure you the child is safe whilst

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the investigation is ongoing. Since the news broke, the family's

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>social media accounts have been taken down. It's important to

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>note the charges are yet to be laid. Despite all

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>of this, the influencer in question has broken her silence.

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Talking to nine News, she said it's so unfair and

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>it's getting addressed at the moment without the proper counsel.

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>When quin's further, she said, I can't speak too much.

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I will get my lawyer to contact you. I do

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>really appreciate the call. The reporter asked then if she

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.559
<v Speaker 1>had harmed her daughter, to which she replied, I can't

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>talk to you. I've said this is a matter that

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>cannot be spoken on, which is strange because why take

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the phone call in the first place. And I know

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are going to be disappointed that

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>we're not talking about this story in depth because there's

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people on TikTok talking about it and

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>naming the family. However, as this woman has yet to

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>be charged, we just can't name her. And also, this

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 1>story is really complicated because the toddler has been put

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>into foster care and there are issues around identifying her.

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>This story really reminds me of the Ruby Frankie case

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>in the US, so she was an influencer who was

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>charged with child abuse and a lot of her followers

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>were actually picking up on the signs that things were

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>not normal in the household, and it was a very

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>complicated story that played out in court. So I'm interested

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>to see what is going to happen in the future

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>with this because, as you said, Sophie, it's so complicated

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>now that the child has been taken into foster care. Yeah,

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>and it's going to be one that the mainstream media

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>will cover in depth. They've already shown their interest in

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the story because they're reporting on it despite being able

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>to actually name this family. And what's interesting is the

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>fact that the mother involved in this story is actually

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>actively talking to the media, which I find odd because

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>you've explained that the media are unable to name her

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. So if I was her, I'd be

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>staying quiet. I feel like it's going to be a

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>really messy one because this is an influencer family involved.

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>There's already a lot of influencer watchdog accounts who are

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>naming the family and also allowing people to comment on

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.239
<v Speaker 1>the news and on Saturday Morning, Influences in the Wild

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>wrongly names Sophia Beg and Jack Golding as the influencers involved.

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>This post was online for at least four hours and

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>it is just blatantly wrong. I mean, Sophia Beg doesn't

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>even have any children. That's the US side, isn't it Yea,

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>So they must have got completely confused about the story.

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>They got their wires really crossed, and this is a

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>blatant act of defamation. Surely Sophia Beg's legal team have

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>already gotten to this. We know they were very proactive

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>in sending a legal threat to those influencers who were

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>set to release information about her and a friendship breakdown.

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>And their mum's a lawyer as well. Well. These stories

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>highlight how there are so many legalities around sort of

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>citis and reporting because a lot of these people who

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>run these pages, they are not journalists. They don't understand

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the laws and they're really opening themselves up to a

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of trouble because the reality is it's not until

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>this couple is charged that they are able to be

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 1>legally named, as well as the complexities surrounding the foster

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:17.559
<v Speaker 1>situation as well.

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I just hope you know marriage is a serious thing. Yeah,

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 2>it is actually a serious thing, and like, I hope

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 2>you don't make any mistakes.

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>After months of breakup rumors and cheating allegations, Tammy Hembro

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and Matzakowski have defied the odds, tying them not in

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 1>Byron Bay over the weekend. Controversially, The Daily Mail were

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the first published photos of the newly married couple allegedly

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.359
<v Speaker 1>flying a drone over the ceremony. Now, Sophie, it's not

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>totally surprising that the paparazzi were able to track down

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 1>this wedding, considering Sophia Beg accidentally leaked the invite months ago. Yeah,

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 1>that's right. She really did help out The Daily Mail

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>in this case because she shared a close up photo

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>of Tammy and Matt's wedding invite in one of her

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 1>vlogs back in May, and I think she was just

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>so overwhelmed and excited to be invited that she forgot

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>about what a big deal this wedding was. Well, it

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.279
<v Speaker 1>seems like she's been uninvited because she was nowhere to

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>be seen at this wedding. Well, I'm not surprised. I mean,

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>they were talking about cutting numbers, and clearly, if you're

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 1>thinking about the first person to go, it's the person

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 1>who's made the lead up to the wedding difficult for you,

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>because we know matt was being brutal about cutting the

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 1>partners of some of his really close friends. So surely, yeah,

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Sophia Beg was the first to get a line through.

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>How did Tammy and Sophia even know each other? I

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 1>assume through an influencer trip. I mean there's quite an

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>age gap between them. Sophia instead went to a twenty

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>first birthday party, and it seemed like she wanted her

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>followers to know that she was there and not at

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the wedding. Yeah. Well, there were a lot of influencers

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>snapped arriving at this wedding, So Ruby Tuesday, Matthews was there.

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 1>She was with her partner Shannon Dodd, Lily Brown, and

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Jack Kenny as well as m Davies who actually ignored

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the invite request not to bring children because her daughter

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Iland was there, because that's something else we found. So

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 1>once Sophia beg leaked or accidentally leaked the invite, it

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 1>then led super Sloose to locate the online wedding invite,

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>and basically people saw that children weren't allowed except her

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>own children. And also everyone was quite shocked to hear

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>that she was having a wishing well. I was on

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the other side of it though, because I think it's

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>fair enough to ask for money at your wedding well.

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.479
<v Speaker 1>Tammy and Matt spoke recently about the wishing well on

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>his podcast and they were saying that there was no

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>way that they expected guests to give them two thousand dollars.

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.919
<v Speaker 1>They didn't know where that figure was because that was

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a rumor that was on influencer updates. I mean, Tammy

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>has before said that that's absolutely ridiculous and that she

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>was getting a lot of requests with people saying what

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>do you want for your wedding, and it was easier

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to just say, let's do a wishing well. Yeah, back

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 1>to the guests. Anna macavoy, who's Matt's co host on

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 1>his podcast. She attracted a lot of attention for the

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 1>dress that she chose to wear because it did have

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a very large slit. It was quite revealing. It was

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.600
<v Speaker 1>a blue gown. She was told that she was stealing

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Tammy Hembro's thunder, which is quite ironic because when Anna

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>got married earlier in the year, Tammy was accused of

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>stealing her thumber. But it wasn't about what Tammy was wearing.

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>It was about her star power and that she was

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>pulling attention away by just attending the wedding. I could

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>have seen this headline coming a mile away. There was

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>always going to be one guest that was accused of

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 1>stealing the attention from Tammy. It happens at every single

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>influence a wedding. I didn't think there was anything wrong

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>with anastrous. I thought she looked stunning. I didn't think

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.679
<v Speaker 1>it looked that different to what other people were wearing.

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not like she wropped up in a white or

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 1>shall I say, pink dress. Because Tammy's dress was incredible.

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>She is getting a lot of attention for the dress

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 1>she wore down the aisle. If I had been told

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 1>prior to seeing the photo that Tammy wore a pink dress,

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I would have thought, ooh, how hideous, But I loved it.

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>She looked absolutely stunning. She looked the best I've ever

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>seen her look. I do wonder if the Daily Mail,

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>because they were the first ones to release these photos.

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if they turned up the saturation because her

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 1>dress looked very pink and I don't think I think

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>it was that pink in real life. Because her tan

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>also got a lot of comments, people were saying she

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>looked very orange. Yeah. Well, the day after the wedding,

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Tammy posted a photo of her in Matt's hands with

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>their wedding rings on it, and she didn't look that

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>orange in that photo. There's a few recovery photos floating

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>around the place of Tammy, and she definitely wasn't as

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>orange as she appeed in that photo. As well. I

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 1>saw Anna macavoy posted some recovery photos and it was

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 1>very reminiscent of the photos taken prior to her wedding. Yeah,

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>they had one where they had all of their rings

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>in together. It was like who was comparing whose wedding bands?

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Photo of each of the couple. But I wasn't sure.

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>What is the etiquette around posting recovery photos? Is it

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>all good?

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Look?

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that everyone's got the green light to do

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 1>the recovery photos because so many people are doing it.

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I think that there must be a lot of slagging

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>off about the Daily Mail happening, and so people are like,

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I better not post a photo of

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.840
<v Speaker 1>any of her wedding outfits. Is quite interesting because Isabelle Laws,

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>who is the general manager of Tammy's active where brown SASKI.

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>She ended up commenting under one influencer updates posts where

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>she shared the photo, and she wrote so disrespectful that

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the Daily Mail had an illegal drone fly over the

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>ceremony and leak the entire thing. How this is supported

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely beyond me. It's crazy that Isabelle actually took

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>time out of the wedding to share that comment. But

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>are we really that surprised This wedding has been touted

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 1>as the influencer wedding of the year. Matt and Tammy

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.839
<v Speaker 1>have been talking about it all over their social feeds,

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>all over their podcasts. It's not that surprising that The

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Daily Mail would try and get that first shot. Tammy

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.319
<v Speaker 1>and Matt should have done what Laura Burn and Maddy

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Jay did because Laura and Maddie noticed that a paparazzo

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>had got into their wedding and they thought, fuck it,

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>We're not going to let them get the scoop. So

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>they ended up posting a photo from their wedding straight away.

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>The Daily Mail may have beat them to it, but

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>they could have steered some of that attention over to

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 1>their own way. Cour This is what makes me think

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>that they have a deal with Vogue. We recently saw

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>podcaster Nicki Westcott get a deal with them, and she

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>waited several days to share her wedding photos. At the

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>time of recording, we haven't seen a wedding photo from

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Tammy or Matt, so I wouldn't be surprised if we're

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>going to see one in a couple of days time.

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 1>A huge spread about their wedding. Well, this wedding looked

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>like it belonged in Vogue, and there was a lot

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>of anticipation because we know that Tammy did a deal

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.200
<v Speaker 1>with Vera Wang for the wedding dress. A couple of

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 1>super slous are saying that this dress isn't a custom

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>gown by Vera Wang that it is one off the

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 1>rack and that's on the website currently. It does come

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 1>in pink and ivory because people were saying that they've

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>fallen in love with this dress, they want to get

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 1>it for their weddings. And for those who haven't seen it,

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 1>it's strapless. It had a very tight corset bodice, and

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>it had this very elaborateal train with a long ivory veil.

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 1>There was some discussion about her mixing ivory and pink,

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.319
<v Speaker 1>but overall everyone loved the dress. Is it one of

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>those dresses though, that only really looks good on Tammy Hembro,

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, like when you go when you want

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>to get a new haircut and then you realize, oh,

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to look as cool their blonde bob.

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>She's definitely got the figure for it. A lot of

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.680
<v Speaker 1>listeners said that she looked straight out of the Barbie

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.719
<v Speaker 1>movie and that she's never looked better. And I love

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that she continued the theme by having a large pink marquee,

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 1>which was pictured behind the ceremony location. We haven't seen

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>proper photos of it yet, but that was one of

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.079
<v Speaker 1>the photos that was captured by the drone when I

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>saw these leaked photos, it was so clear that Matt

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Zakowski had nothing to do with the planning, Like this

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>had Tammy all over it. Yeah, but at the beginning

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 1>he said he was going to be a groom zilla

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>and he wanted to be at every meeting. But I

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 1>get the vibe that Tammy and her wedding planners just

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>went off separately. I saw some TikTok where Tammy was

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 1>saying that Matt would be in these zoom meetings and

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>just say really stupid things. Yeah, just like, honey, could

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you just shut up people in saying that. I wonder

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.120
<v Speaker 1>if he had anything to do with the ceremony setup,

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 1>because all people could focus on once those drone images

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>were released. So for those who haven't seen the photos,

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Tammy and Matt were at the front on this beautiful

0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>pair of steps, and then there was this hedge and

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.679
<v Speaker 1>a pool, and the guests were seated around the pool

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>behind the hedge. So people were saying, could they even

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 1>see what was going on? It was quite interesting because

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>where they got married is this chateau, which is an

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 1>airbea be It cost seven thousand dollars a night to

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 1>stay there. But on the website, it doesn't describe itself

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>as a wedding venue in saying that though Pat Cummens

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 1>recently got married there and Matt Damon has previously stayed

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.599
<v Speaker 1>there in the past. But it makes me think maybe

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>that area has never been set up for a wedding before,

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes wedding planners will possibly close off the pool area,

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>which would have made a lot more sense because they

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>then could have had the seats on top and people

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>actually facing the front. Well, I want to know how

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Tammy actually walked down that aisle, because there's a photo

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 1>of her arriving at that point and she's standing directly

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 1>in front of the pool. So did they have something

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 1>that she could walk across the pool? Was there like

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.680
<v Speaker 1>a person? I think she must have just chosen one

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>side to walk down. But the other bizarre thing about

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>this seating plan was that the guests weren't even facing

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Tammy and Matt. They were actually facing each other, which

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.080
<v Speaker 1>would have been super awkward. They were looking over the

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 1>pool and a lot of people were saying, God, their

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>next must have been saw because they were literally craning

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>to get a glimpse of the couple, and also because

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 1>they were seat quite low down because Tammy and Matt

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>they were up several steps and they were in front

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 1>of the chateau. People were saying, could they even see

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.440
<v Speaker 1>them past the hedges?

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>And it was weird because people noticed that Matt's groomsmen

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 1>were standing on concrete, whereas Tammy's bridesmaids were standing on grass,

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>so their high heels were likely sinking into so a

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.319
<v Speaker 1>lot of people saying it must have been Tammy's good side,

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>because it's like, fuck it, I'm going to be on

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>my good side. They can sink into the grass. We

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 1>picked the bridesmaid dresses. I want to point out they

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 1>were black, strapless dresses, and I feel like black is

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.840
<v Speaker 1>this season's color. Well, Amy Weddings, you wanted to do

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>black originally I was thinking about it, but I didn't

0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 1>really think it was a summer color. I felt like

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>it was you know, it's a bit too hot to

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 1>be wearing black. What was also quite strange about this

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>setup is that around the pool area there was a fence,

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 1>so once Tammy had walked down the aisle, they closed

0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the pool gate, so they basically closed all of the

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>guests out of that area and all of the photographers

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>and videographers stood at the gate so they were getting

0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the best front on view of the ceremony. It seemed

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 1>like it was all about appearances and all about the photos,

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily making it feel like an intimate ceremony. We

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.440
<v Speaker 1>fair like most weddings, we noticed this is not like

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>most weddings. Most weddings you have the guests as close

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.560
<v Speaker 1>as possible so they can actually be a part of it.

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think what was quite sad is that Tammy's

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>kids were involved in the wedding. So her son Wolf

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 1>was a page boy, and her daughters Posey and Saskia

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 1>were flower girls, and they were in the closed off

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Paul area. They weren't even up the front with the bridesmaids.

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.840
<v Speaker 1>And guessing Matt Paul wasn't at this wedding because we

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 1>do know that they're very amicable. They seem to be

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>on good terms now, but I didn't see any photos

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 1>of him. Look, you don't have your ex fiance at

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>your wedding. Well, the Daily Mail's drone shot showed just

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 1>how exclusive the wedding was. There weren't that many people. Yeah,

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Tammy and Matt said on their podcast that they were

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>having one hundred and thirteen people. I think that's what's

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the number. Well, one person who was missing from the

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>ceremony was Tammy's dad, and this actually sparked a lot

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 1>of rumors about people saying, oh, maybe he didn't approve

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of her marrying Matt. But sadly, it turned out that

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 1>he actually injured himself before the ceremony, and if you

0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 1>can believe it, he injured himself while he was at

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the hairdresser. So if I was Tammy, I would have

0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 1>been so mad because her dad left his haircut to

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the day of the wedding and then something snapped in

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>his leg when he was at the hairdresser. He ended

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 1>up having to go to hospital and arrived at the

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>reception on crutches. I wish she had her reality show

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 1>because that just sounds like one of those plots in it,

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Like it doesn't even sound real. Yeah, I'm surprised that

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 1>they didn't try and push the ceremony back a little bit.

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 1>But I suppose this wedding is a massive event, and

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to weddings, yes, you can probably push

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 1>it by half an hour. But I suppose maybe her

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 1>dad was stuck in emergency or something. Okay, you mentioned

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.400
<v Speaker 1>earlier how Tammy had shared a photo of her wedding

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 1>rings on Instagram, But all I could notice in that

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 1>photo was her new tattoo, which was the date of

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the wedding. Well, I was wondering when she actually got

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>it done, because in the week leading into the wedding,

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Matt ramped up the wedding spond Colm and he shared

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.480
<v Speaker 1>back to back sponsored reales. One of them was promoting

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 1>a numbing cream and the last time he spooked this brand,

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 1>he was using it to remove his ex girlfriend's name

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 1>from his bum. This time around, he was using it

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to get a tattoo dedicated to the wedding. So he

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 1>ended up getting Always and Forever tattooed on him and

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>it was written in Tammy's handwriting. Side note, she has

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the most beautiful handwriting. So I'm wondering if Tammy got

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>her tattoo then well, there's other speculation that maybe they

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 1>had a tattoo artist at the ceremony because a lot

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>of people are now doing that. So basically, you go

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and sign your wedding certificate and then you go and

0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 1>get your tattoo of the date. It's very on brand

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>for Tammy. To have a tattoo artist at her wedding.

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 1>She loves getting tattoos. I recently was listening to Happy

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Hour with Lucy and Nikki and they were talking about

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 1>a number of their jagged parties that they had, where

0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Tammy Hambro would just be like, yep, We'm gonna get

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that random dragon. Well, how many tattoos do Matt and

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Tammy have dedicated to each other. It's getting ridiculous now.

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I am very much looking forward to when the official

0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 1>photos get released. When do you guys think it will

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 1>be or whenever Vogue drops them? Actually, probably just night

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 1>that we're recording, because it always seems to happen. So

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 1>if you have seen those photos, this has been pre

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.200
<v Speaker 1>recorded on Monday after we reckon. Tammy's going to jump

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 1>on a podcast with Matt as well, because I think

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.760
<v Speaker 1>that he is really into monetizing the wedding situation and

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.119
<v Speaker 1>also boosting his numbers. Oh no, so he's not interested

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 1>in that at all. Well mean, everyone else and outspoken

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 1>plus listeners will understand that little snide comment because we

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 1>did go into more detail. Kate and I had a

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 1>bit of a rant on Friday's Subscribe episode about Matt

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.679
<v Speaker 1>who He lashed out at us a little bit in

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:37.639
<v Speaker 1>his comment section. Yeah, he accused Outspoken amongst other podcasts

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.919
<v Speaker 1>for using him and Tammy to make a quick dollar,

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 1>which anyway, we rant about it on that episode. You

0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 1>can listen there. Well, I want to know how much

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Number is paying Matt for his wedding spon con I

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 1>hope a lot, because he absolutely got slammed in the comments.

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>It was quite hilarious. Did you guys see the other

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 1>real where he was promoting ox he shred. He said

0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:57.880
<v Speaker 1>that he was doing a wet dread. I actually need

0:17:57.880 --> 0:17:59.120
<v Speaker 1>a throwed it for full effect.

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 3>The only thing that I've been stressed about leading into

0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.840
<v Speaker 3>my wedding is my web shred. No jokes aside. I've

0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.119
<v Speaker 3>been using oxy tread now for a couple of months.

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 3>I knew this would be my go to when trying

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.879
<v Speaker 3>to lean up for the big day. I first tried

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 3>it when I saw it at seven eleven one time,

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.359
<v Speaker 3>and since then it's been my go to drink. It

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.239
<v Speaker 3>contains clean caffeine, so it gives me no jitters and

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.440
<v Speaker 3>no crash, and it enhances my mood.

0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he needed to have an oxy shred

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:26.760
<v Speaker 1>before he did that voice over. It was very flat.

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 1>How does he have a podcast? I don't understand because

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 1>he just sounds bored and everything that he reads it.

0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 1>It's also the fact like mentioning web shred, which is

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.520
<v Speaker 1>a real no no, and just the tacking noss of

0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 1>but also collaboration. Is he referring that he's been stressed

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.280
<v Speaker 1>out because of all the cheating allegations before the wedding? Yeah,

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 1>that's literally the giants. I haven't been stressed out about bus.

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I also find it funny how he's like, oh, I

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 1>just first spotted them at the seven eleven. It was like, no,

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 1>you didn't. You spotted them when they reached out for

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the spon con. Yeah, Like, we're not idiots wrapping things up.

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.959
<v Speaker 1>Do we think that Tammy Hembro is going to change

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:01.800
<v Speaker 1>her Instagram handle to Tammy Zakowski. I don't reckon she'll

0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>change the handle, but I reckon she'll put Zakowski in

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the bio. I don't think. I think she's more business

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 1>savvy to know that she can't be changing the handle.

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely loved Megan Pisetto's comment on Tammy's wedding post

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 1>that we shared. She wrote, love the dress, love the hair,

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:20.159
<v Speaker 1>hate him sums it up. I think what everyone's thinking.

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 1>It reminds me of that line from the Cinderella Story.

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Now that you're old enough, there's something I've always wanted

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 3>to tell you, and I think you're ready to hear it.

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.040
<v Speaker 1>You're not very pretty and you're not very bright.

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm so glad we had that talk.

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.600
<v Speaker 1>One Direction singer Liam Payne has been farewelled in a

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 1>private funeral service, just over a month after he died

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:45.560
<v Speaker 1>from falling off a hotel balcony in Argentina. Some corners

0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 1>of the Internet touted the funeral as a one direction reunion,

0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 1>as Liam's former bandmates came together to say goodbye. Now,

0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.680
<v Speaker 1>So if you Despite this funeral being a private service,

0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.879
<v Speaker 1>intimate photos of his friends and family grieving have been

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:02.440
<v Speaker 1>splashed all over media sites and social media. Yeah. Literally,

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the first thing I saw when I woke up on

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Thursday morning were photos of his funeral all over my TikTok.

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>And as you said, Amy, this was a private funeral,

0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.119
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't a state service, and it's being reported that

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Liam's family tried really hard to keep the location of

0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the funeral a secret from the press. They wanted to

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.679
<v Speaker 1>avoid any mass crowds and fans turning up. Now, the

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.880
<v Speaker 1>funeral was held at Saint Mary's Church in Amersham, which

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.359
<v Speaker 1>is more than two hours from his hometown Wolverhampton, where

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.680
<v Speaker 1>many predicted the service would be held. Now, this church

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.800
<v Speaker 1>is eight hundred years old and with the videos that

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>have been emerging, it really looked like a scene from

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:41.359
<v Speaker 1>a British movie. I just got that vibe like it

0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 1>looked like the typical English funeral.

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 1>And despite throwing the press off with the location, it

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't stop the media from scoping out the funeral. It

0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 1>did avoid mass fans, though, from turning up. That being said, though,

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 1>there were still dozens of locals and fans who gathered

0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 1>outside the church taking photos. Now. Prior to this funeral,

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.640
<v Speaker 1>some of One Direction's fans went viral for urging their

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 1>fellow fans not to attend. So in a TikTok video

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 1>which has been viewed more than eight million times, one

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.880
<v Speaker 1>fan said, this is your friendly reminder that if you're

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking of going to Liam Payne's funeral to look at

0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 1>One Direction members don't. I'm begging you all to remember

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Liam Payne was a human and his family and friends

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.199
<v Speaker 1>are going through a hard time enough without having to

0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 1>cater to the public. They deserve to say goodbye to

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 1>him with grace. I thought this was pretty gross how

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:32.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fans were calling this the One Direction reunion. Yeah,

0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.439
<v Speaker 1>and the way people were editing up clips of Harry

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 1>crying and the boys looking really upsets, Like, if you

0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 1>actually cared about them, you wouldn't be exploiting them for clips.

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:41.719
<v Speaker 1>It's a hard one because I don't know if they

0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>were exploiting them because even as someone I wasn't like

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I was a One Direction fan, but I wasn't young

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:48.920
<v Speaker 1>enough to be as obsessed with them as some of

0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the One directioners were. But it was almost this weird

0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:54.119
<v Speaker 1>thing where you didn't want to see the photos, but

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 1>then you were also intrigue. Yeah, but it's different looking

0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 1>at them than actually cutting up the videos. Knowing that

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you're on people's heartstrings, you're going to get send ons,

0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 1>you're doing it to get views. I think I'm a

0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 1>way of them healing, though that's strangely around the whole

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:11.120
<v Speaker 1>One Direction reunion comment. I do think it sounds sick,

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.479
<v Speaker 1>but I also don't think that it was met with

0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:15.399
<v Speaker 1>ill intent. I think that a lot of fans have

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.160
<v Speaker 1>been really rocked by Liam's death, and I think they

0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 1>found some solace in thinking that the band was coming

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:24.119
<v Speaker 1>together to celebrate his life. Because it has been nine

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 1>years since One Direction were last publicly seen together at

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:30.560
<v Speaker 1>their last performance, and before his death, there were a

0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:33.199
<v Speaker 1>lot of people excited thinking that they were going to

0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 1>get back together. They seemed to be dropping a couple

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 1>of clues, like in interviews and the fact that they

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 1>were all out supporting one another. But the saddest thing

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:42.040
<v Speaker 1>is that Liam really wanted them to get back together.

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:44.200
<v Speaker 1>If there was one member who was really pushing it,

0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.920
<v Speaker 1>it was him. I think Harry, Nile, Louis, and Zay

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:51.320
<v Speaker 1>made a big effort not to be photographed together. There

0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of strategy around that because I think

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 1>if there was a photograph of the four boys next

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.240
<v Speaker 1>to the coffin, the press would have run with One

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Direction reunion them next to the coffin. I think just

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 1>the four of them together. They knew that would have

0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:06.159
<v Speaker 1>attracted a lot of attention and taken away from what

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.520
<v Speaker 1>they were there to do to say goodbye to Lim.

0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I agree that it was a deliberate decision to walk separately.

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 1>They also arrived in separate cars and it was really

0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:17.680
<v Speaker 1>sad because on each of the cars that the boys

0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:20.080
<v Speaker 1>arrived in they had Batman stickers on them, and that

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:23.679
<v Speaker 1>is because that is Liam's favorite superhero. All of the

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:26.720
<v Speaker 1>former band members were also accompanied by Paul Higgins, who

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.840
<v Speaker 1>was their security guard through their One Direction days. There

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 1>were a lot of famous faces in attendance at this funeral,

0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 1>and there's this viral clip going around showing Harry Styles

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:39.719
<v Speaker 1>getting into a car outside the church with James Cordon

0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>and it made me go back and watch the car

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:44.920
<v Speaker 1>pool karaoke that One Direction did with him years ago.

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:46.960
<v Speaker 1>So they must have formed some sort of friendships. Yeah,

0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:49.240
<v Speaker 1>they're quite well known that he's very close with all

0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:52.199
<v Speaker 1>of them. Well. Simon Cowe, who discovered One Direction, was

0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 1>also there. It was so sad because he was seen

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:58.639
<v Speaker 1>consoling Liam's parents, Jeff and Karen, outside the church and

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:01.119
<v Speaker 1>he was in tears. You could see how genuinely shattered

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 1>he's been by this. I have really not liked the

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 1>narrative around Kate Cassidy's appearance at the funeral. So Kate

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.480
<v Speaker 1>was of course Liam Payne's girlfriend at the time of

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:12.720
<v Speaker 1>his passing and people were like, Uh, why does she

0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 1>look so done up? She looked really glam to be

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:17.880
<v Speaker 1>at his funerals and a kit and they were accusing

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.120
<v Speaker 1>her of not looking sad enough. It's like she had

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 1>sunglasses on. What is she supposed to do? She probably

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:25.320
<v Speaker 1>felt like she couldn't show her real emotions because of

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the fucking paparazzi there. She was actually walking with Liz

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Hurley's friend, who got a lot of stick also for

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:33.879
<v Speaker 1>trying to get attention from being there. It's like these

0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 1>people are mourning a very close person to the private funeral,

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 1>but they didn't want press there. Liam's ex, Cheryl Cole,

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:43.199
<v Speaker 1>She was also a focus of a lot of the

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:45.919
<v Speaker 1>media reporting. She is the mother of their seven year

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:49.479
<v Speaker 1>old son, Bear, and prior to Liam's death, Bear had

0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 1>largely been kept out of the spotlight because they chose

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:55.679
<v Speaker 1>not to share his face on social media and thankfully,

0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Bear did not appear in any of the photos printed

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 1>in the media and they It is a theory circulating

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 1>that Liam's parents made a deal with the media that

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:07.320
<v Speaker 1>they were allowed to take photos outside of the church

0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:09.919
<v Speaker 1>as long as no photos of Bear were taken or

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 1>released to the Pubble, where there also reports that Liam's

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:16.480
<v Speaker 1>parents said that Liam was always about with the one

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 1>direction fans and they know that they would want to

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:21.480
<v Speaker 1>see some of these images and say goodbye to Leah.

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't heard that, and also that the band members

0:25:23.840 --> 0:25:27.119
<v Speaker 1>were happy to partake in that agreement in order to

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 1>protect Bear. I don't know if there's so much validity

0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:32.919
<v Speaker 1>around this supposed agreement with the Pains and the media

0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:35.680
<v Speaker 1>because there were so many members of the public also

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:38.119
<v Speaker 1>taking photos and they wouldn't have been part of this

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:40.600
<v Speaker 1>deal or aware of it. I feel like perhaps Bear

0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 1>was taken in and out of a back entrance and

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:46.159
<v Speaker 1>they were super careful about him not being seen. Well,

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:48.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe he wasn't there. Perhaps the family decided that it

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:50.399
<v Speaker 1>was going to be too tough on a seven year old. Well,

0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:53.680
<v Speaker 1>he was represented at the service by this massive floral

0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 1>arrangement that read Daddy, and that is what got me.

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 1>That is one of the first photos I saw, and

0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:01.640
<v Speaker 1>it is a starker that there is a little boy

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:04.119
<v Speaker 1>who was at the center of this who's lost his dad.

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:06.439
<v Speaker 1>One of the photos that has really stuck with me

0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:10.400
<v Speaker 1>is a photo of Liam's mum Karen breaking down when

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Liam's coffin was taken out of the hearse and it

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 1>showed Jeff comforting her, And I just felt so gross

0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:20.119
<v Speaker 1>because I'm like, what right do I have to be

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:23.159
<v Speaker 1>seeing this photo? And it's so bad. Because when the

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:25.440
<v Speaker 1>first video of the funeral popped up, well you actually

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:26.960
<v Speaker 1>sent it to me, Sophie, I was like, I can't

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:30.440
<v Speaker 1>watch this. This is disgusting. But then you have this

0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 1>thirst to see more, and you're like, I don't deserve

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 1>to know more. I shouldn't be looking at these but

0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:37.840
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like the sun. You can't look away.

0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:40.320
<v Speaker 1>It's that weird parasocial relationship where you feel like you

0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:42.720
<v Speaker 1>know Liam, you feel like you know his parents. Yeah,

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:45.280
<v Speaker 1>it's this real morbid curiosity. And I have to admit

0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:48.320
<v Speaker 1>that I was absolutely glued, and I felt somewhat ashamed

0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>of myself because I couldn't look away. For me, it

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:52.920
<v Speaker 1>was that I almost wanted to try and make sense

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 1>of it, because there's been so much speculation and so

0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 1>many rumors about his death, and there's this feeling that

0:26:58.119 --> 0:27:00.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't really know what happened to him. So maybe

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 1>if you analyze the photos you can make sense of

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:06.280
<v Speaker 1>little moments during the funeral. What's even more upsetting is

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the new photos that have emerged of Liam Payne's final

0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 1>hours at the hotel in Argentina. There's some photos of

0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:17.080
<v Speaker 1>what looks like security guards or hotel staff carrying him up. Well,

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 1>very strange timing as well, to release this after his

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:23.879
<v Speaker 1>funeral to come more question mark. It comes off the

0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 1>back of the police investigation because one of the staff

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:29.480
<v Speaker 1>members at the hotel has been arrested, and to see

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 1>four men forcefully carrying Liam Payne up to his room

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>where he subsequently fell from his balcony. I think there's

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be a lot more about this disgust because

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:42.080
<v Speaker 1>something just doesn't seem right. It's interesting that they chose

0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 1>to blur his face from those images, because there was

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 1>widespread discussed after TMZ shared a photo of Liam's dead

0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 1>body after the fall. Do you think that is why

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>or are there some legalities as well? I think it's

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 1>a media trying to be sensitive that we're blurring his face,

0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:01.800
<v Speaker 1>but even blurring his face, you can tell what's happening.

0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:03.200
<v Speaker 1>It's still distressing to see.

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I definitely think this isn't the end of this story.

0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that there is a lot more to it

0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:11.160
<v Speaker 1>and that photo is now just fueling even more speculation. Well,

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that's all we've got time for today. Thank

0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you so much for listening to another episode of Outspoken.

0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:19.760
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't already, please make sure you are a subscriber.

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:21.960
<v Speaker 1>And also, we would really appreciate if you could leave

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:24.560
<v Speaker 1>us a five star review because it really helps us

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 1>grow the podcast. This podcast was recorded on the traditional

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:30.159
<v Speaker 1>land of the Garner people of the Adelaide Planes. We

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:32.200
<v Speaker 1>pay respect to Elder's past and present
