Speaker 1: On today's show, Sky Wheatley's bizarre meltdown over pr packages
Speaker 1: as she binds as horrendous inflight Ordeal, and Pixie Curtis's
Speaker 1: latest beauty treatment sparks Debate.
Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to Outspoken.
Speaker 1: It's your dose of the hottest influencer and pop culture
Speaker 1: news twice a week. I'm Kate Torbert and we're a
Speaker 1: little late recording because I just received a link to
Speaker 1: my wedding video and we've literally been watching on repeat
Speaker 1: for the last twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: Oh, the video is epic.
Speaker 1: It's such a little taste of the day, though I
Speaker 1: kind of want to see more, and you've actually emailed
Speaker 1: your videographer asking can I pay a bit more to
Speaker 1: get like a thirty minute feature?
Speaker 3: Feel?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it went so quickly, It's a three and a
Speaker 1: half minute video, but now I'm like I should have
Speaker 1: paid the extra cash for the thirty minutes, and I
Speaker 1: sof and I immediately started looking into the videography packages
Speaker 1: that we've booked, and we've been like, I'm actually going.
Speaker 2: To pay extra just to get more content.
Speaker 1: Could you ask for like just a Kate edit a
Speaker 1: bit like the Olivia Not because obviously you've got a
Speaker 1: divorce or anything.
Speaker 2: But I want to see more of us getting ready
Speaker 2: in the morning. So you want the bridesmaid edit the
Speaker 2: bridesmaid Yes.
Speaker 1: I was pretty proud, Sophie that some of our zingers
Speaker 1: made the highlight our speeches dominated that I thought. Now,
Speaker 1: dating triplets is very unique. Our loyalties to one another
Speaker 1: changed by the hour, if not the minute. One minute,
Speaker 1: we're all best friends, next minute, two of us have
Speaker 1: ganged up on each other. All very confusing and very
Speaker 1: difficult for our partners to keep up with.
Speaker 2: We also have no secrets.
Speaker 1: Before we met Reese, we knew everything about him, not
Speaker 1: anything over the top, just the important things like blood type,
Speaker 1: passport number, every girl you've every girl you've ever spoken to,
Speaker 1: his name. Basically, what we're saying is you're not just
Speaker 1: stuck with Kate Reese, you're also duck with us down.
Speaker 1: I definitely will be sharing it on social media if
Speaker 1: anyone's keen to check it out. Now, Amy, you've got
Speaker 1: a wedding update too. Yeah, So last night Dale and
Speaker 1: I went to a tasting along with Dale's mum and
Speaker 1: Poppy and also my parents, and so we've got an
Speaker 1: external caterer doing all of the food, and we've been
Speaker 1: having this debate about whether we can serve pasta as
Speaker 1: a Maine dish.
Speaker 2: I actually put it up on the Outspoken.
Speaker 1: Instagram account and everyone was saying, yes, do pasta as
Speaker 1: one of the mains. Everyone seems to be sick of
Speaker 1: the steak and chicken. But now after tasting all the dishes,
Speaker 1: I'm more confused than ever.
Speaker 2: What did the parents think? Well, we so we tried.
Speaker 2: Last night.
Speaker 1: We had fish, we had pasta, we had chicken. We
Speaker 1: also had this like cheesy pasta that I feel like
Speaker 1: Sophie would love. Oh when I saw it because you
Speaker 1: shared it on your Instagram story, because I was like,
Speaker 1: because I can't be there, I want to live through you.
Speaker 1: And both pasta dishes looked insane. Well, my personal favorite
Speaker 1: was the crab pasta, and I was thinking I would
Speaker 1: be so excited for this to come out. My only
Speaker 1: worry was it had a lot of like parsley on
Speaker 1: the top, so someone will have to make sure I
Speaker 1: don't get any of my teeth. Well, the funniest thing
Speaker 1: was I was asking all of the parents after like
Speaker 1: what did you think? What's your favorite? And Dad's like,
Speaker 1: I really liked the chicken, but I didn't like the
Speaker 1: corn flame on the top, so they've done like this
Speaker 1: fancy crispy sweet potato. I'm like, dad, that is not
Speaker 1: corn for me. Well, he thought the pesto at my
Speaker 1: wedding tasting was avocado, and I'm like, geez, those cigarettes
Speaker 1: have really ruined your taste. But you wouldn't even try
Speaker 1: the Kingfish because it had like this green sort of
Speaker 1: sauce on the side. He said it was too green
Speaker 1: for him. Oh my god, well that one's been crossed off. Well,
Speaker 1: just to round things up on the wedding updates, I
Speaker 1: have officially locked in my dress or what does it
Speaker 1: look like this? This is so exciting because Sophie, you
Speaker 1: have been so indecisive.
Speaker 2: I have been so stressed.
Speaker 1: I've been spending all my nights on TikTok and also
Speaker 1: Instagram just looking at other dresses, going back to the
Speaker 1: dresses that I screenshot when I first got engaged, because
Speaker 1: the dress I have locked in is very different to
Speaker 1: what I thought.
Speaker 2: I would get.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you've been going on about this dress I
Speaker 1: think for a while. Now you're actually making me go
Speaker 1: crazy because you keep texting me these random messages about it.
Speaker 2: It's like, you want all this reassurance.
Speaker 1: Do you not know me that I need reassurance all
Speaker 1: the time. And the whole thing is I had literally
Speaker 1: contacted the wedding boutique. He said, oh yeah, I'm ready
Speaker 1: to lock it in. Let's lock in another appointment. And
Speaker 1: then this brand from Melbourne Kaya Studio, which I've been
Speaker 1: wanting to try on for ages. It then came up
Speaker 1: that they were going to be appearing at this Adelaide
Speaker 1: boutique and I was like, is this a sign that
Speaker 1: I'm getting the anyway? So it's been an internal battle
Speaker 1: because they're not bringing the dresses in for a number
Speaker 1: of weeks and I really need to lock things down.
Speaker 2: Do you know what it reminds me of.
Speaker 1: It's almost like you're online dating, like you're on Tinder
Speaker 1: or hinge, and you're like flicking through all these dresses.
Speaker 1: You almost need to stop and go, Okay, I've chosen
Speaker 1: my person, which is your dress, and I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: look anymore. I've seen this on TikTok because a lot
Speaker 1: of brides say that you have to lock the dress
Speaker 1: in so far in advance that you're sort of bored
Speaker 1: of your dress even though you haven't worn it yet,
Speaker 1: because you've seen all these photos of yourself in it,
Speaker 1: and there's so many new options popping up. They've just
Speaker 1: dropped so many new collections. You definitely do end up
Speaker 1: second guessing it though, so know that when you actually
Speaker 1: pay for the deposit, you will have that feeling of regret,
Speaker 1: but it does go away also because you can't try
Speaker 1: it on in your right size, and I think it's
Speaker 1: really hard when you're looking back at photos it's the
Speaker 1: wrong size.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 1: I'm so jealous because I would be so relieved if
Speaker 1: I'd locked in, and I don't even care, like I
Speaker 1: would just not be looking. I feel like any white
Speaker 1: dress is going to look amazing when you've got the
Speaker 1: right hair, the make up, the flowers.
Speaker 2: They're all looking the same to me.
Speaker 1: At the moment, I actually have decided I don't like
Speaker 1: wedding dresses and I want to wi the one that's
Speaker 1: into fashion more than you guys ould say. And I
Speaker 1: think the other dresses look nice. Of the wedding dresses,
Speaker 1: I think we need to hold an intervention. Though Amy
Speaker 1: needs to get her wedding dress locked in. You actually
Speaker 1: need to go and visit a store.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: I mean, I've.
Speaker 1: Visited some stores, but one see the issue is I
Speaker 1: see these dresses that I really really like in the photos,
Speaker 1: and then I go onto that still white page where
Speaker 1: people post like they're trying to resell their dresses to
Speaker 1: see what, you know, people actually look like in normal
Speaker 1: photos of the dresses. They all look so different. That's
Speaker 1: why you need to try them on.
Speaker 2: I actually saw a.
Speaker 1: Bridle store share about this exact thing and say, don't
Speaker 1: look at the model and other people in them, because
Speaker 1: you were going to look so different in it yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but some of the fabrics just look different.
Speaker 1: I'm going to jump.
Speaker 5: On and talk to you guys about business and just
Speaker 5: kind of show you the reality of it.
Speaker 1: Sky Wheatley has called out her fellow influences for not
Speaker 1: supporting her ath leisure brand. The former Big Brother contestant
Speaker 1: broke down as she revealed she could no longer afford
Speaker 1: to send out freebies because her business isn't yet profitable.
Speaker 1: So can you tell us more? Yeah?
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 1: On Monday night, Sky got emotional as she opened up
Speaker 1: about the reality of owning a business on her Instagram story.
Speaker 1: She choked back tears as she revealed her ath leisure
Speaker 1: brand Good People Apparel, is financially struggling. Let's throw to
Speaker 1: what she said, even for.
Speaker 5: Me, being an influencer or someone with an audience, it's
Speaker 5: fucking hard. And like from the outside looking in, you
Speaker 5: might think, oh my god, they're making millions and millions
Speaker 5: of dollars, like they're so successful.
Speaker 6: And yes, I'm talking about GPA, the people of Perrel,
Speaker 6: Like I get that people like look at the brand
Speaker 6: and go, they're so successful, like they'd be swimming.
Speaker 5: In cash and we're over here like, yeah, we actually
Speaker 5: just trying to make money to pay for our ext drop,
Speaker 5: like it all goes back into the business.
Speaker 3: And that's not why I'm getting upset.
Speaker 1: So after that, Sky took aim at the influencers that
Speaker 1: she gifted track suits too, and said she felt sick
Speaker 1: to her stomach that they hadn't posted about them. She
Speaker 1: went on to share that she had been reprimanded by
Speaker 1: her business partner Tory, for giving away too many free
Speaker 1: track suits, and that they could no longer afford to
Speaker 1: gift any more. Now. Sky got really emotional as she
Speaker 1: explained she would no longer be able to give her
Speaker 1: family and friends free tracksuits. Let's throw to what she said.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, now I'm gonna have to tell the people
Speaker 5: that I've said, yeah, send your tracksuit.
Speaker 3: Actually sorry, We've already.
Speaker 5: Spent like twenty k in sending pr packages out to
Speaker 5: people that don't post because they don't appreciate the product.
Speaker 5: And I get it, Like being an influencer, you get paid,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 3: But like since having.
Speaker 5: My own brand, I like promise myself that I will
Speaker 5: make an effort to always just like pop something on
Speaker 5: my story, even if it's just like an unboxing or
Speaker 5: like a flat lay of the products, just like to
Speaker 5: give some recognition that like you've got it, Like thanks,
Speaker 5: I've got your product. Like I just know how hard
Speaker 5: it is for businesses and how much money you're actually
Speaker 5: losing by sending out And I've.
Speaker 3: Been guilty of this of the past.
Speaker 5: Also, like getting so many packages, it's overwhelming for the influencer.
Speaker 3: Like I get it, I understand.
Speaker 5: I don't know, guys, it's just fucked and like I
Speaker 5: have a feeling I don't know, and just getting really emotional.
Speaker 1: Now there is a lot to unpack in this twelve
Speaker 1: minute rant. It was full of contradictions. The first contradiction
Speaker 1: I want to start with is the fact that Sky
Speaker 1: claimed that her brand was financially struggling, but then later
Speaker 1: said that she expected the latest clothing drop to be
Speaker 1: so popular that she's worried it will sell out and
Speaker 1: people will be left disappointed. Which one is it? And
Speaker 1: if that's the case, why was she getting so upset
Speaker 1: over influencers not posting about her tracksuits? Surely the ultimate
Speaker 1: aims to sell out of the product. Is she really
Speaker 1: that upset she couldn't give her family and friends a
Speaker 1: free tracksuit? I can see why she'd be annoyed if
Speaker 1: you're sending out twenty thousand dollars worth of product and
Speaker 1: nobody's sharing anything about it. But the thing is, even
Speaker 1: if they don't post about it now, they're still going
Speaker 1: to wear it. It's still a branding exercise. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: can't just expect people to post about it and instantly
Speaker 1: get sales from those posts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you just put this down to a learning She's
Speaker 1: now realized that she can sell out with just the
Speaker 1: help of her own personal audience and then doesn't have
Speaker 1: to use in influencer marketing. Do you think influencers are
Speaker 1: now more unwilling to share about different brands because they
Speaker 1: don't want it to go to their tax return.
Speaker 2: I definitely do.
Speaker 1: I also think that she was more personally offended because
Speaker 1: she probably thinks she's friends with a lot of these people,
Speaker 1: and that's why she was so emotional about it. What
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe is that she slammed the influencers for
Speaker 1: not posting about the tracksuits, but then in the next
Speaker 1: breath said that brands should pay influencers because it will
Speaker 1: guarantee that they post about their product. Was that more
Speaker 1: of something that she'd learned that she wanted to share
Speaker 1: with people? What do you mean she's learned it like
Speaker 1: Sky of all people should see the worth of paying
Speaker 1: influencers for their time and access to their audience. I mean,
Speaker 1: the whole thing baffles me because she clearly understands how
Speaker 1: influencer marketing works, because she has worked as an influencer
Speaker 1: for many years. She has got her platform to a
Speaker 1: stage where people pay her for a post. They don't
Speaker 1: just give her free products. Wouldn't you think that she
Speaker 1: would give her peers in the influencing industry the same
Speaker 1: respect and pay them to promote her product. The thing
Speaker 1: that's clear is there's not much of a strategy going on.
Speaker 1: She is clearly haphazardly saying, I'm going to give you
Speaker 1: a track so I'll give you a track suit. She's
Speaker 1: trying to keep everyone in her circle happy, and also
Speaker 1: I suppose her friendship group of influencers, and she's clearly
Speaker 1: frustrated when they're not giving anything back in return. I
Speaker 1: think what we've learned from our deep dive series into
Speaker 1: Sky Wheatley is that she constantly contradicts herself. So I
Speaker 1: think she jumps on these stories and while she's talking,
Speaker 1: she suddenly starts seeing the other point of view. She
Speaker 1: must have set out quite a few tracksuits to send
Speaker 1: out twenty thousand dollars. I think it's a postage that
Speaker 1: is costing her a lot of money. I was also
Speaker 1: surprised though, when she said that, oh, people would assume
Speaker 1: that my business is making millions of dollars and it's
Speaker 1: hugely successful. I don't know about you guys, or anyone listening,
Speaker 1: but I just assumed it was a little startup. I
Speaker 1: didn't automatically assume that just because she's an influencer with
Speaker 1: a business that it was hugely successful because particularly because
Speaker 1: it is a leisure brand. The thing is, I think
Speaker 1: she's almost calling out her own internal thoughts, because I
Speaker 1: feel like she probably thought starting up her own at
Speaker 1: leisure where brand was going to be easy.
Speaker 2: She was just going to get a lot of money.
Speaker 1: She's probably seen the likes of Tammy Hembro put her
Speaker 1: nim On apparel company and everything sells out. I think
Speaker 1: probably what she's saying, though, is that she's not like
Speaker 1: a Nike or a gym Shark, where it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if influencers don't share about the products.
Speaker 2: Almost like she's guilt tripping the influences.
Speaker 1: Now that annoys me, and she's like, oh, even me
Speaker 1: being an influencer, I find it hard too. It's like
Speaker 1: I think she just assumed that because she's an influencer,
Speaker 1: everything should be easy and her influencer mates should promote
Speaker 1: her brand. It's like, no, why should they? They should
Speaker 1: be paid to promote They've created their own audience. We
Speaker 1: have seen a lot of Sammy Robinson's influencer friends like
Speaker 1: Steph klas Smith and Jadu Tunti all sharing about Sammy's
Speaker 1: brand one Mile, presumably for free. So I can kind
Speaker 1: of see how Sky could have thought that might happen.
Speaker 1: But maybe she's not as close with these people as
Speaker 1: she as other influencers are, and I think that is
Speaker 1: the very reason why she got so upset. Do you
Speaker 1: also think that because of all of Sky Wheatley's controvert
Speaker 1: and indiscretions, that influencers don't want to share about her
Speaker 1: brand because they don't want to be connected to her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that could be a big part of it. Now,
Speaker 1: what made things even more awkward is a few hours
Speaker 1: after Sky's Instagram rand Indy Clinton shared a selfie of
Speaker 1: her wearing a Good People Apparel track. So this was
Speaker 1: so awkward, so Indy caption the photo thank you Good
Speaker 1: People Apparel, so comfy and great quality, hashtag gift now. Ironically,
Speaker 1: she then shared the following statement to her Instagram story,
Speaker 1: which read, I've sadly had to take my po box
Speaker 1: addressed down. A lot of brands were hounding me when
Speaker 1: they would gift me something, and I didn't post on
Speaker 1: my stories even though it's the gamble they take, I
Speaker 1: unfortunately cannot post everything I receive. Please don't send me something.
Speaker 1: Hope that I post and then get annoyed if I
Speaker 1: don't post. I appreciate you wanting to send me things,
Speaker 1: but save your money on postage. It's quite clear Indy
Speaker 1: was referencing Sky, but it appears it's gone over Sky's
Speaker 1: head because a follow asked her if she thinks Indy's
Speaker 1: comments were directed at her, to which Sky replied, I
Speaker 1: don't think so. She's my friend. I'm with her one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. It is hard when brands expect you to
Speaker 1: post for free, like we're also running a business.
Speaker 2: Again, a major contradiction.
Speaker 1: See I think what's happened here is India's jumped onto
Speaker 1: Instagram story. She's seen Sky's rant and she's thought, fuck,
Speaker 1: I promised to share about that weeks ago. She's put
Speaker 1: up the post, and then she's wanted to reiterate to
Speaker 1: other brands. Sorry, just because I'm sharing for Sky, it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I'm going to share for you. But what
Speaker 1: I don't get is couldn't Indy see how transparent that was?
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like it's almost ruder to then
Speaker 1: put that up, but why not wait a week or something?
Speaker 2: She probably doesn't.
Speaker 1: Think that everyone who follows her is across the sky
Speaker 1: Wheatly stuff well, it was definitely being covered by all
Speaker 1: the big influencer accounts, so I'd be surprised if she
Speaker 1: didn't know about it. I almost think that it was
Speaker 1: her way of having a little bit of a go, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I posted it, but don't expect me to do it again.
Speaker 4: Hey guy, So I just went to Meka today in
Speaker 4: Double Bay, and I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Show you what I got.
Speaker 1: Roxy Jazenko's eleven year old daughter, Pixie Curtis, has caused
Speaker 1: a stir after revealing she got an eyelash lift and tint.
Speaker 1: The redheaded twein, who recently announced her retirement from her
Speaker 1: toy company at the tender age of eleven, shared a
Speaker 1: reel of the beauty treatment to her one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty six thousand followers. Kate, I was so surprised to
Speaker 1: see this.
Speaker 2: Real pop up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw and instantly sent it to you because
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. I'm thirty four and I've never
Speaker 1: had a lash lift. So on Instagram, Pixie caption the
Speaker 1: real redhair means no lashes till now. Thank you Fancy
Speaker 1: Lash for my lash lift and tint. Her mum, Roxy
Speaker 1: also shared an update on her insta story writing. How
Speaker 1: the tables have turned Now I am Pixie Curtis's content
Speaker 1: creator too at Fancy lash Today. Yeah, and it's quite
Speaker 1: interesting because Roxy actually did a paid partnership with the
Speaker 1: lash Bar earlier in the month. Now it seems like
Speaker 1: as she's taking a bit of a step back from
Speaker 1: Sweaty Betty and a lot of her businesses, it seems
Speaker 1: like she's got a lot more time to spend with
Speaker 1: her kids and return the favorite because I feel like
Speaker 1: Pixie I would have recorded a fair amount of content
Speaker 1: for Roxy back in the day. Yeah, I actually would
Speaker 1: love Pixie Curtis to shoot a reel for me, though,
Speaker 1: I feel like she'd be on point. You might not agree,
Speaker 1: but I think she's the epitome of cool. I love
Speaker 1: checking out her page because I feel like she knows
Speaker 1: what is on trend, what is going to be the
Speaker 1: next big thing. Look, I'm not really checking an eleven
Speaker 1: year old's page as a thirty four year old or
Speaker 1: for style advice.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying style advice.
Speaker 1: She's not a regular eleven year old, But I'm talking
Speaker 1: about trends because I love speaking to young people about
Speaker 1: what they're interested in. Well, Zo vih You're not the
Speaker 1: only adult that is checking out Pixie Curtis's page, and
Speaker 1: I don't mean that in a creepy way. There was
Speaker 1: a debate in the comment section on pixies Reel. One
Speaker 1: person wrote, really too young for this? What's next botox
Speaker 1: and lippiller's what a joke? Another added lipfiller next. Someone
Speaker 1: else wrote, no, come on, mum and dad, there's plenty
Speaker 1: of time for that.
Speaker 2: You are creating the monster. Well.
Speaker 1: Fellow redheads did emerge in the comment section to defend
Speaker 1: Pixie's treatment. One wrote, as a fellow Ginger, I highly
Speaker 1: support this, said as a Ginger who started doing this
Speaker 1: as a kid in the early nineties, Good on you.
Speaker 1: Ignore the negative comments and keep doing what makes you
Speaker 1: feel good about you. Someone else added the amount of
Speaker 1: adults that are here arguing on a child's account is gross.
Speaker 1: You do what makes you happy, Pixie.
Speaker 2: I might not be a.
Speaker 1: Parent yet, but I kind of get where Roxy is
Speaker 1: coming from with this. I think getting your eyelashes tinted
Speaker 1: is very different to going out and allowing your child
Speaker 1: to have lip injections or some sort.
Speaker 2: Of cosmetic treatment.
Speaker 1: I think that there is a lot of sensitivity particularly
Speaker 1: at this age when kids are going into adolescence and
Speaker 1: a lot of redheads do feel self conscious about having
Speaker 1: light lighter features. Yeah, but does she have to be
Speaker 1: sharing online?
Speaker 2: I think that's.
Speaker 1: Probably what a lot of people have an issue with
Speaker 1: because I would assume that a lot of her audience
Speaker 1: would be potentially eleven year olds or other tweens and
Speaker 1: thirty four year olds and thirty four year olds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that might be thinking, well, maybe I need to go
Speaker 1: and get all this stuff done as well, and also
Speaker 1: what's next. We have to remember that at this age,
Speaker 1: anything that is different about you is heavily scrutinized. I
Speaker 1: remember as a kid getting paid out for having freckles,
Speaker 1: and that's one of my biggest hang ups now. So
Speaker 1: I think if she's in a position where she can
Speaker 1: do something small like that, that's going to make her
Speaker 1: feel better about herself and isn't drastic.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's an issue with it.
Speaker 1: Look, I can understand why people are a bit uncomfortable
Speaker 1: about it, because it is very sad that an eleven
Speaker 1: year old feels the need to change her eyelash color.
Speaker 1: But we do need to remember she's not a normal
Speaker 1: eleven year old. She has over one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: six thousand followers, and people are absolutely brutal online. Perhaps
Speaker 1: people have been commenting on her eyelashes, but we do
Speaker 1: need to remember she's not a normal eleven year old.
Speaker 1: She's got one hundred and thirty six thousand followers. People
Speaker 1: are absolutely brutal online. She's a millionaire in her own right.
Speaker 1: I mean, she retired when she was eleven years old.
Speaker 1: This is not normal behavior. But what's that got to
Speaker 1: do with anything. I think the issue, as I said,
Speaker 1: is that people feel uncomfortable that she's promoting this sort
Speaker 1: of thing online. I was not that uncomfortable that she
Speaker 1: was allowed to do it, and I don't care that
Speaker 1: she's had it done. And I can see, as you said,
Speaker 1: if there's something that you're insecure about, go and get
Speaker 1: it done. I think it's promoting it to others, and
Speaker 1: she's making money off promoting it to a young audience.
Speaker 1: She didn't mark it as a paid partnership. I think
Speaker 1: people are just putting two and two together. I think
Speaker 1: you're off the mark there though. I think this is
Speaker 1: mum shaming for Roxy. I think people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: how could a mum let her alone.
Speaker 2: One year old do this. It's definitely mum shaming as well.
Speaker 1: We've got to look at the broader picture, though. I
Speaker 1: think that more young kids are interested in these beauty
Speaker 1: routines and beauty products because they're not consuming advertising in
Speaker 1: the same way that we did growing up. So whilst
Speaker 1: we may have seen an advert on TV or in
Speaker 1: a magazine, they are now seeing all of these treatments
Speaker 1: advertised on TikTok and it's becoming more within their reach
Speaker 1: to do these things. Well.
Speaker 2: I am a sucker for a Pixie Curtis story.
Speaker 1: Last year, we discussed how her birthday party costs forty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and during research for this topic, I stumbled
Speaker 1: across her daytime routine, which I found very amusing. Is
Speaker 1: this her beauty routine or this is just what happens
Speaker 1: in her day? Pretty envious for my former eleven year
Speaker 1: old self because she's allowed to stay up to eleven PM.
Speaker 1: I remember mom and Dad used to make us go
Speaker 1: to bed at like eight thirty in Urra. Is that
Speaker 1: sort of a rule that you know you're eleven so
Speaker 1: you can stayt to eleven PM? I'm not sure, but
Speaker 1: I think it has something to do with her skincare routine,
Speaker 1: because she has a very strict nighttime regime that involves
Speaker 1: a vitamin C facial wash and a sleeping mask. Imagine
Speaker 1: how good her skin is going to look when she's thirty.
Speaker 2: So Pixie said.
Speaker 1: She also washes and blow dries her hair every day
Speaker 1: using the Mermaid Hair blow dry brush HASHAG sponsors. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she is an ambassador for the brand, so I love
Speaker 1: how she snuck that in. What a perfect brand ambassador.
Speaker 1: In terms of other beauty treatments, she spray tands with
Speaker 1: her mum on a Thursday night if she has a
Speaker 1: special occasion, but hides it from her dad because apparently
Speaker 1: he'd freak out if he knew. How does he not
Speaker 1: notice that his eleven year old has a dan? Well,
Speaker 1: it might be because her dad is now working between
Speaker 1: Tasmania and Singapore. So recently, Roxy made big news when
Speaker 1: she sold her mansion for sixteen million dollars. Now it's
Speaker 1: quite hard to read this because she only bought it
Speaker 1: for six point five million dollars back in twenty eighteen. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: we've seen all of the property prices climb for some reason,
Speaker 1: because I have been watching lux listings sixteen meal didn't
Speaker 1: actually sound like that much. I mean, obviously it is
Speaker 1: an extreme number, but on that show you were seeing
Speaker 1: twenty million dollar house series. If I'm saying this house
Speaker 1: is incredible, I'm surprised it didn't sell for more.
Speaker 2: Is this because.
Speaker 1: Pixie's gone and bought the family a new home with
Speaker 1: all of these business bedrooms? No, so she is going
Speaker 1: from a five bedroom, five bathroom mansion which had this
Speaker 1: epic beauty room, had a cinema, It also had a sauna.
Speaker 1: They're now moving to an apartment because so a lot
Speaker 1: of people thought that Roxy and Oliver had broken up,
Speaker 1: but she has put an end to those rumors. She said,
Speaker 1: it's just purely because Oliver's working in Singapore and Tasmania
Speaker 1: and they needed somewhere smaller just for the three of them. Really,
Speaker 1: I mean you're saying an apartment. I'm sure it's some
Speaker 1: epic penthouse.
Speaker 4: The whole flight, Taj and I were just spewing, like
Speaker 4: on and off the whole time, probably like every twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: Fitness influencer as She Binds has gone into explicit detail
Speaker 1: about her horrendous ordeal aboard a jet Star flight. The
Speaker 1: thirty four year old who's been holidaying in Bali, revealed
Speaker 1: she spent the whole flight vomiting. The mum of two
Speaker 1: came under fire from passengers who said she was too
Speaker 1: sick to travel now. So if this sounds like an
Speaker 1: absolute nightmare situation you just about everybody involved. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: imagine being on this flight. So to take you back,
Speaker 1: as she Bines had just spent a week in Bali
Speaker 1: with her husband and two kids at a private viela,
Speaker 1: it looked like the perfect family holiday, but things quickly
Speaker 1: turned into a nightmare when Bali belly kicked in now
Speaker 1: as she relayed the scary ordeal on her Instagram story,
Speaker 1: explaining she vomited a few times at the airport before
Speaker 1: collapsing as she boarded her jet Star flight.
Speaker 2: Here's what she said.
Speaker 4: I've spewed a couple of times in the toilets at
Speaker 4: the airport, and I think it must have been something
Speaker 4: we all ate at breakfast a couple of I was like, no,
Speaker 4: it's not enough to knock me out.
Speaker 3: I'll be okay.
Speaker 4: And then as I stepped onto the plane, I handed
Speaker 4: the tickets over and I literally fainted.
Speaker 3: I fully collapsed like a grab Seve's hand.
Speaker 4: He was holding Tala, and then he caught me just
Speaker 4: in time for me to like, Thankfully I didn't fall
Speaker 4: back and smack my head. He caught me. I don't
Speaker 4: know how long I was out for.
Speaker 3: It was horrific. It was so so tough.
Speaker 4: Was the toughest slide I've ever had.
Speaker 1: Now, as she went into explicit detail, too much detail,
Speaker 1: probably revealing that she and her son Taj were vomiting
Speaker 1: every twenty minutes, she said at one stage she was
Speaker 1: holding Taj's vomit bag while she was vomiting into her own,
Speaker 1: and understandably, her son was incredibly distressed. He was bawling
Speaker 1: his eyes out and very over the situation. Now, her
Speaker 1: husband Steve was sitting the row behind them with their
Speaker 1: baby Tala, And it did make me laugh because she
Speaker 1: mentioned in her Instagram story that a lovely man behind them.
Speaker 1: He moved seats so that they could have access to
Speaker 1: the bassinet. And I just think this guy was trying
Speaker 1: to get as far away from them as possible.
Speaker 2: God, I would be this would be horrible.
Speaker 1: Imagine being on a flight home from Balley. It's already
Speaker 1: a bit seedy because there's always the party goers that
Speaker 1: are hungover, and there's this family just spewing their guts
Speaker 1: up for ages.
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Steve wasn't feeling sick at the airport, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: until he put Tala in the basinet that he also
Speaker 1: started vomiting, so they were all going down.
Speaker 2: This story is.
Speaker 1: So appalling that it's actually made national news, with a
Speaker 1: passenger by the name of James Foley telling Yahoo News
Speaker 1: it's the worst flight he's ever been on and the
Speaker 1: odor from the vomiting was disgusting. James explained that he
Speaker 1: couldn't eat or rest as the vomiting was non stop
Speaker 1: during the flight. He did say it wasn't just Ashy
Speaker 1: and her family, but multiple people on the plane were unwell.
Speaker 1: He finished by saying that staff should not have allowed
Speaker 1: sick passengers to.
Speaker 2: Board the plane.
Speaker 1: That's a really interesting ethical dilemma because as she did
Speaker 1: state that she was vomiting in the toilets before the flight,
Speaker 1: so she clearly was aware before she boarded the plane
Speaker 1: that she wasn't feeling well. Do you guys think it
Speaker 1: is a dick move to inflict that on the rest
Speaker 1: of the flight, or would you do the same. It's
Speaker 1: a difficult one because it would be hard to then
Speaker 1: catch another.
Speaker 2: It's like an international.
Speaker 1: Flight, particularly kids, and particularly because Ballei belly is so prevalent.
Speaker 1: I've had so many friends who have said that their
Speaker 1: barley belly has hit as soon as they've got on
Speaker 1: the flight, and it's hell on her. Also, if you
Speaker 1: vomited a couple of times, you might think, oh, it's
Speaker 1: just passing. And also clearly other people were sick on
Speaker 1: the plane too, if I think about it, and I
Speaker 1: was having, say, severe diarrhea or something, So this is
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry for people listening if you're having your breakfast.
Speaker 1: But I probably wouldn't feel safe to sit on the
Speaker 1: flight because you wouldn't be able to go to the
Speaker 1: toilet whenever you wanted, So in that case I probably
Speaker 1: would go shit, I don't think I can actually.
Speaker 2: Go on this flight.
Speaker 1: I do feel like the jet Star staff probably should
Speaker 1: have stepped in, particularly if she's like fainting as she's
Speaker 1: getting old, they.
Speaker 2: Surely had to red flag this person should not be traveling.
Speaker 1: I'd be so pissed off if you were sitting next
Speaker 1: to her, like how revolting you're trying to choke down
Speaker 1: your two minute noodles that they give you on jet Star. Well,
Speaker 1: Jetstar was forced to put out an official response. They
Speaker 1: told news dot com dot Au that they were sorry
Speaker 1: to hear that customers were unwell and acknowledged that it
Speaker 1: would have been an unpleasant experience for others sitting next
Speaker 1: to them sit The representative said customers who were too
Speaker 1: sick to fly should contact us before traveling or speak
Speaker 1: to our crew so we can help with their booking
Speaker 1: and consider alternate travel arrangements. They also said they would
Speaker 1: be reaching out to Ashy and Steve, as well as
Speaker 1: the crew on board to better understand what actually happened now.
Speaker 1: This somewhat quiet family vaka before this ordeal wasn't without
Speaker 1: its controversy. So whilst in Bali, Ash shared a reel
Speaker 1: showing her family posing together in their private villa and
Speaker 1: over the top of the reel, Ash wrote, when you
Speaker 1: realize being rich is having what money can't buy. Now,
Speaker 1: many followers thought that this reel missed the mark, having
Speaker 1: it as tone deaf due to the current cost of
Speaker 1: living crisis that many Australians are finding themselves in.
Speaker 2: It also hit a nerve with.
Speaker 1: Followers, as Ash had previously been sharing about hiring a
Speaker 1: private photographer and also a nanny while staying in a
Speaker 1: luxury villa. However, on the other hand, many said that
Speaker 1: having a nanny and a photographer in Bali isn't actually
Speaker 1: a sign of wealth because both options are relatively affordable
Speaker 1: over there now. One follower shared an interesting comment. They wrote,
Speaker 1: money helps to be able to go away and to
Speaker 1: make some memories. Sometimes a house overhead and food on
Speaker 1: the table is a memory.
Speaker 2: Now listeners may not.
Speaker 1: Realize that Ash and her family were actually homeless for
Speaker 1: a period of time when she was growing up. As
Speaker 1: She responded to the comment saying, I have fond memories
Speaker 1: of when we were homeless, but Mum still makes it
Speaker 1: fun and an adventure. She continued, make the most of
Speaker 1: whatever season you're in. Money doesn't buy happiness, neither does
Speaker 1: a vacation. Hence my caption of realizing being rich can't
Speaker 1: buy love. But yes, we do love a holiday, and
Speaker 1: I've worked extremely hard to create a life where we can. Now,
Speaker 1: what do you guys think? Do you think the real
Speaker 1: missed the mark? I think that the real was confusing
Speaker 1: if it was a video of her and a family
Speaker 1: at home. I don't think it would have become as
Speaker 1: muddled the objects of you standing in front of this
Speaker 1: luxury villa whilst on a holiday. It doesn't really match
Speaker 1: up with the messaging because when I first saw this
Speaker 1: video I had to read it a few times to
Speaker 1: understand what she was sort of getting at because they looked.
Speaker 2: So privileged and rich in the video.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like you're saying, look at me with all
Speaker 1: my assets. I'm so wealthy, but I'm also wealthy because
Speaker 1: of my amazing family. Yeah, I've got it all and
Speaker 1: rich and rich because of my family. And it's also
Speaker 1: uncomfortable with the timing. I think that people are really
Speaker 1: struggling at the moment and they don't want to be
Speaker 1: seeing this wealthy influencer saying.
Speaker 2: Don't worry. At the end of the day, love is
Speaker 2: all you need.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have made more sense if she was
Speaker 1: maybe filmed a real of her vomiting on the plane
Speaker 1: and holding her son's vomit bag and saying, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm still happy even though this shit situation's going on.
Speaker 2: I think that is all we have time for today.
