WEBVTT - Jade Tunchy's Cancellation, Nadia Bartel's Pay Check & Mitch Third's Dubai Antics 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.200 This is Outspoken, the podcast it's not afraid to say 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.680 exactly what you're thinking. Our names are Amy, Kate and 0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:10.560 Sophie Torba. We're identical triplets, but we often don't have 0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:15.720 identical opinions, so sometimes things can get heated. Outspoken covers 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:20.680 all things reality TV, influencers, entertainment, and issues facing women. 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:22.799 That is so fat. 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:28.720 Thank you, Happy Monday, and welcome back to Outspoken. Now 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.600 it's just Sophie and Kate here today because Amy and 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:36.160 Daye are actually in Mount Gambia celebrating their anniversary. Very 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.839 romantic getaway. I wouldn't put Mount Gambia on the top 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.360 of my list, you know, Paris, but they are going 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.040 scuba diving there. I think that's why they've chosen the destination. 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.360 It did make me laugh because growing up, Sophie and 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:49.360 I in particular hate dunking our heads in the pool. 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:50.840 It's a mixture of. 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.560 Not wanting to look gross and get water in my eyes, 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.440 but then also Sophie pea's in the pool. So I 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:01.120 have been known to piss in the ball as an adult. 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.400 I feel like now I'm in my thirties, I don't 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.559 piss in the pool anymore. But yeah, it was. Yeah, 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.399 I've evolved. So we're not talking about pissing in the 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.840 pool today as part of our general chat, we're actually 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.240 going to be talking about bedtime routines and sleeping positions. 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.319 And it sounds like we're about to talk about children, 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.160 but we're talking about ourselves. And it really surprised me, Kate, 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.320 because we were chatting to our best friend on the 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.120 weekend and you revealed to all of us that you 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.240 and Reese fall asleep hugging one another. See, I've got 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.399 to clear that up because I actually don't fall asleep 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.760 in this position. I just like being hugged. Reese will 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.040 fall asleep and then after a while I'll get too hot, 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.680 so I'll kind of push away and get sleep sort 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.280 of on my side. What about you, because you said 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.640 that Archie has changed everything for you and Brandon. Yeah, well, 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.760 we used to have, like when we first started going out, 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.360 there was a little bit of a cuddle and then 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.360 they'd be sort of rolling to your separate sides. But 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.520 we don't really even get that cuddle in anymore because 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:02.440 our dog, Archie, he whimpers whenever we show one another 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.440 any sort of affection in front of him, and he 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.200 literally sleeps right in the middle of our bed, so 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.800 we can't even really touch one another. I mean, it's 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:12.920 getting quite crowded. I think we'll need to get at 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.440 the king sized bed soon. The other thing is, I'm 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.799 in a really bad habit at the moment. So I'll 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.480 say good night to Brandon, he'll roll over go to sleep, 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.040 and I will stay on my phone for probably an 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:29.840 hour to two hours later, scrolling and looking at wedding venues. 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.960 And I'm just in a really bad pattern at the 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.200 moment that I just can't seem to break. And to 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.840 make it worse, since we've all gone back to work, 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.399 Brandon is now listening to rain music that relaxes him. 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:42.919 And this is needing, and this is making me need 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.440 to go to the toilet constantly. Well, I mean, and 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.840 for anyone again who knows us, we always need to 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.360 go to the toilet all the time, So I feel 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.400 like that is a big issue if that's making you 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.679 need to go more than usual. I'm just so intrigued 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.320 to hear how people sleep, because our best friend was 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.160 saying that her partner will go to bed before for 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.320 her and she will get into bed and she has 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.760 to watch some sort of television or one of her 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.760 favorite shows before going to sleep, so she will sleep 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.839 with her legs on his stomach. And I was trying 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.960 to work that out in my head. I don't actually 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.040 still know the logistics of that. I kind of nodded along, 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:18.800 acting like I knew what the hell that meant, but 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.000 I really didn't. So when we probably need to chat 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.160 after this, I would love tonight we'll put a thread 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.920 in our Facebook community. How do you fall asleep next 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.560 to your partner? What sort of position do you get in? 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.359 Do you go to bed at the same time. I'm 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.080 really intrigued by this sort of stuff. 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.720 Okay, you're in bed, she's over on your side cuddling. 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:43.000 Now you wait for her to drift off, and then 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:48.560 you hug her and roll her over to her side 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:59.880 of the bay, and then you roll away, hug for her. 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:06.120 Role for you. Ja Dae Tunci has been slammed for 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.920 calling out a tourism business for refusing to give her 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.520 a refund for her postponed honeymoon. The influencer has been 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:16.200 accused of trying to bully the small business into submission. Kate, 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.640 what happened so back in August last year, jar Day 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.880 says she tried to cancel her Hunter Valley honeymoon after 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.839 making the decision to postpone her wedding due to COVID, 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.160 so she and her partner at Lockie had put down 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.520 a two thousand dollars deposit with premium holiday rental company 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.000 Weekender Now. On Tuesday, jar Day shared a story asking 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.039 her followers if they knew anyone at Quantus. She complained 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.240 that she had spent four hours on hold during the 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.760 week trying to cancel flights. Then on Thursday, she posted 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.400 a selfie looking pretty glum, and in the caption she 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.560 tagged the weekend to Holiday Company and put them on blast. 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.719 She explained that eight months earlier she had requested a 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.800 refund due to the pandemic, but apparently the best the 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.320 company could do was put the room back up online 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.320 to be booked by someone else. She then said she'd 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.800 reached out six weeks out from the booking and they've 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.480 refused to give her a refund. She wrote, They've had 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.640 months to refund us for a booking we don't need. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.479 They're taking our money just because they can. It's just 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.640 incredibly poor form and so disappointing that businesses are taking 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.279 advantage of people in the middle of a pandemic. She 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.279 then posted a photo of her rolling her eyes with 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.600 the caption not your following them. Later on, she then 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.120 posted a photo of her smiling with the caption they've 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.760 agreed to refund us for our stay. Thank you guys 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.040 for your help. She then added a love heart emoji now, 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:35.040 much to everyone's delight. Celeb Spellcheck then popped out of hibernation, 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.320 sharing a screenshot of jar Day's story with the caption 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.599 congratulations on not reading the terms and conditions, then using 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.359 your following to bully a small business into giving you 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.280 a refund with the clapping hands emoji now. Jar Day 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.839 ended up deleting the original stories, but hit back, sharing 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.279 the following statement on her Instagram story. She wrote, I 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.760 am every bit entitled to request a refund from a 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.720 business that's charging me to two thousand dollars for accommodation. 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.440 I don't need I gave them eight months notice. Eight months. 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.200 Lots of people have had to reschedule their wedding since 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.240 the middle of the pandemic, and of rightfully received refunds. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.200 This has nothing to do with supporting small businesses. If 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.360 you guys want to go around throwing two k at 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.479 businesses for services you don't need and won't use, that's amazing. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.080 I can't wait to see all of your receipts. They're 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.000 not a charity, though, so I'm not doing that. Stay safe, y'all, 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.480 it's wild out there. She then continued by saying, I'm 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.520 so incredibly sick and tired of this foul page encouraging 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.359 bullying and harassment towards influences just because they can. We 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.760 are human beings. I emailed the business on multiple occasions 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.760 trying to sort the refund out, and unfortunately posting about 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.400 it was the last resort. If you guys want to 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.080 bully influencers because you hate them, sweet, but don't act 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.159 like you wouldn't all sit at home and try to 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.880 get a refund yourself. I don't think one of you commenting, 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.600 dming and harassing me would sit there and willingly give 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.200 up thousands of dollars for a service you didn't need, 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.480 especially after giving the business eight months notice to refund 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:06.240 you ridiculous now. Jade also posted a story which has 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.640 since been deleted, where she said that it had worked 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.400 out great for the business and they'd gotten a lot 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:16.880 of exposure. So for those interested, the Weekender Instagram started 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.920 out with around one thousand, seven hundred followers and now 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.360 has over seven thousand followers. They've also been flooded with 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.360 messages of support. I feel like this original follower account 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.960 puts things into perspective because I think people feel very 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.360 differently when an influencer calls out a large corporation like 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.520 Quantas as opposed to this small business that has clearly 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.960 struggled during the pandemic. I mean, we've had so many 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:43.360 tourism companies close over the last two years. I feel 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.680 like it was very tone deaf to do. So. It 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.520 was really interesting because I noticed that Clementine Ford left 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.640 a comment on celebs Spellcheck's post. She wrote, I don't 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.320 understand how someone with four hundred and eighty six thousand 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.880 followers so regularly has as little as thirty comments on 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.600 her post. Clementine's comment I got one four hundred and 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.400 four likes, and I really think that speaks volumes. I 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.360 know a lot of people in our Facebook community are 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.720 really confused by jar Day's following and how she manages 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:14.320 to partner with brands like Dior and Gucci all the time. Yeah, 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.960 I find the whole thing very confusing because it's quite 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.760 clear that Jarda is completely out of touch and really 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.160 not reading the tone of twenty twenty two or the 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.160 past couple of years, because she does post things that 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.920 are very inappropriate, and she also posts things a lot 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.000 of the time with this smug sort of grin and 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.720 this sort of attitude that really rubs people up the 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.360 wrong way. And I have to say, of course, I 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.080 have sympathy for anyone who is planning a wedding during 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.439 the moment during a pandemic. It can be incredibly stressful 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.880 and obviously frustrating when you feel like you're not getting 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:49.000 the right sort of response back from a business. And yeah, 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.800 at the end of the day, to most people, two 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.960 thousand dollars is a lot of money to be on 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.080 the line, so I totally understand her frustration in wanting 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.160 to get an answer. However, I think that she hasn't 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.920 taken any of her privilege into consideration here. She is 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.920 a well paid influencer who often gets given free holidays 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:11.000 and free accommodation. I don't think too many people are 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:15.079 going to have sympathy for her blasting this small business online, 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.440 even if perhaps they were in the wrong for not 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.960 getting back to her. Well. I think it's hard to 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.559 see an influencer like jarde who posts so regularly about 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.360 having luxury, high end new items, complaining about a two 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.480 thousand dollars deposit, particularly when you consider how much she 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.079 would earn from one Instagram post and the fact that 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.520 she knows how much companies will pay her to promote 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.839 their brand on her platform means that she completely understands 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.240 how damaging a negative post can be about a company. 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.520 And I really feel like it was a case of 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.720 punching down and then to say, oh, well, it's all 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.600 worked out well for them. I'm sorry. The only reason 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.200 they've got gay more followers is because everyone is so 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.800 outraged how disgusting your initial post was and how out 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.520 of it was that they feel incredibly sorry for this 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.840 small business. Now. I am really confused because Jarda said 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.600 that she booked the holiday in August twenty twenty one, 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.480 which is more than a year into the pandemic, and 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.280 by then we've all become aware of the importance of 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:18.400 reading the terms and conditions and also cancellation policies, particularly 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.360 when it comes to wedding planning. Yeah, and from what 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.280 Jarda said, it appears the company refused to give her 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.880 a refund back in August twenty twenty one. Anyway, they 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.880 gave her the option that they could put the room 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.640 up to see if it got rebooked. It doesn't seem 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.040 like they actually agreed to give her a refund. And 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.440 for someone who is currently organizing a wedding, vendors and 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.079 tourism companies are really upfront at the moment with their 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.680 COVID policies and a lot of them are working special 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.839 COVID policies into it. So pre pandemic, if you had 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:48.840 booked a wedding, vendors were a little bit more flexible 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.440 with changing your date. However, due to COVID, they've lost 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.960 so much money, they've been losing deposits, they've been losing 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.839 revenue that they actually now will take your deposit if 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.040 they have to move the date because of COVID. And 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.600 while of course is really hard on the people planning 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.720 a wedding, it's something that we just need to accept 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.640 because otherwise there's a lot of companies that are going 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.439 to go under there's so many tourism and wedding companies 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.640 out there that literally cannot afford to change the date 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.200 of something like this. Yeah, definitely. And I think that 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.640 the real kicker is always the smug post afterwards, where 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.599 she's telling her followers that she's somehow won from the situation. 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.000 It just seems to be the same expression, and it 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.360 really gets under a lot of people's skin. Yeah. Well, 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.760 the fact that it seemed like a calculated decision because 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.720 after she got what she wanted and she got the refund, 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.280 she then puts up a post to thank her followers, 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.760 and I just think, well, you clearly knew what you 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.920 were doing. You knew that this would damage the brand. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.680 It's very reminiscent of when Sarah's Day called out that 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.920 small brand Sabian Soul. I just think the whole thing 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:52.200 came across as very entitled, particularly when the influencer industry 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.160 hasn't been affected at all with the pandemic. If anything, 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.440 it seems to have been bolstered. And for someone who 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.160 is a professional inla it seems bizarre to me that 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.240 jar Day, who earns money from her platform, would then 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.439 use it to air personal complaints against companies. It just 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.599 seems really unprofessional. It's actually interesting if you take a 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.840 look back at the start of the pandemic, because jar 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.040 Day was criticized for revealing that she had cut ties 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.120 with a number of companies and sponsors that she'd worked 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.640 with when she refused to reduce her fees during the pandemic. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.520 And I just think it's coming across as really tone deaf, 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.720 and it just must be really awkward for her to 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.880 look back at this all with hindsight. Yeah, it definitely is. Well, 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.599 the drama hasn't stopped there, because on Friday, celeb Spellcheck 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.960 took another shot at jar Day. This time they unearthed 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.600 a screenshot from a review she shared to uber eats 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.920 in March twenty seventeen. The review read, I order off 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.960 you guys all the time, and I'm starting to find 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.320 it really annoying that you have so many non English 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.560 speaking delivery people who can't follow basic delivery instructions. I 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.840 got a notification today saying my food was arriving, and 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.000 it took the person a further twenty minutes to get 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.280 to my door because he couldn't read my delivery instructions properly. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.960 And when I called him to explain he didn't understand 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.440 a word I was saying. Your GPS consistently sends drivers 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.960 to the wrong street, which I explained in my instructions, 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.240 which most people read and have no problem with. But 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.680 when foreigners are delivering, it takes twice as long for 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:21.680 me to receive my then cold food. Sort it out. Now, 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.760 this isn't the first time celeb'spelcheck has called jar Day 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.200 out for old racist Facebook comments. It's interesting to note 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:32.080 that celeb'spelcheck actually turned the comments off the post, which 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.160 may be in response to jar Day's original comments regarding 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.839 online bulling. And just on a side note, how great 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.960 is it that celeb'spelcheck is back. I feel like she's 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.600 raining in a lot of this stupid commentary that is 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.439 out online at the moment. I'm so happy she is back, 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.880 and it's very reminiscent of this time last year, because 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.320 this time last year, just before Australia Day slash Invasion Day, 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.480 celeb'spellcheck unearthed a bunch of racist comments that jar Day 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.480 had made, and they were from a lot longer. So 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.040 it's important to note that this comment she posted to 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.600 uber eats was written in March twenty seventeen, and I 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.200 think that gives it a lot of context because a 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.480 lot of influencers will hide behind the fact that the 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.240 comment was written ten years ago. However, this is literally 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.440 not even four years ago. I saw some comments in 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:22.120 our Facebook group saying celeb spellchecks like the FBI uncovering 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.600 all of these comments because it was a comment left 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.280 from jar Day's Facebook account on uber Eats's page, So 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.880 I mean there must be she must be spending a 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.200 lot of time trawling through, or there must be a 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.040 lot of people in the wings who have these screenshots 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.200 and are ready to hit send on them. The thing 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.480 is for someone who has stalked a lot of people 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:45.000 in the past on Facebook for different reasons. When you 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.600 are friends with someone, Oh, actually I think it depends 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.360 on their privacy setting, but if you type their name 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:54.080 of their account into the search bar, you can search 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.040 through like profiles, pictures. I think there was a review 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.600 option as well, because I actually have read some people's 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.200 reviews before, so it's actually not that hard to find. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.680 But it makes me think that surely someone that knows 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:07.680 jar Day and his friends with her on Facebook is 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.040 feeding celeb spellcheck this information because the timing of it 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.960 is so interesting, the fact that celeb'spellcheck called her out, 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.480 then she shot back and called them bullies. This is 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.040 just the ace that celeb'spellcheck has pulled out. And it 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.080 is quite interesting because jar Day shared an apology later 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.840 on Friday, which read, I'm sorry to anyone I've hurt 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.880 with my comments. I hold myself accountable for my actions. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.520 It doesn't excuse anything, but know that I have grown 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.240 immensely in the past several years. I also do my 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.720 best to be someone others can look up to, and 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.720 I know I've let people down and for that I'm 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.120 truly sorry. I find it interesting because I feel like 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.720 every week we are dissecting influencers apologies, and for me, 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.000 she hasn't actually addressed what she's even talking about. So 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.440 for people who haven't seen the posts, they will have 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.560 no idea what this is about. And I think that's 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:58.080 quite deliberate that she hasn't actually addressed what she's apologizing for. 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.040 This is Kate coming to you in the future. Since 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.760 we recorded, there have been a few interesting revelations in 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.720 the story that we wanted to update you guys on. Firstly, 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.200 the CEO and founder of weekender Pete Smith has come 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.840 out and made a statement about the incident to pedestrian. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.280 He said, jar Day Tunci has definitely been a handful. 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.040 Jar Day booked a stunning home in Mirror Park in 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.920 July twenty twenty one, just as the second wave of 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.760 COVID had taken off. The cancelation terms and conditions were 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.760 fifty percent loss of deposit if canceled and one hundred 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:34.600 percent loss if canceled within fourteen days of arrival. We 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.200 feel the same t's and c's are fairly much industry standard, 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.920 fair and legal according to Fair Trading and the A 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.400 Triple C. The booking was for March twenty twenty two. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.800 In August twenty twenty one, jar Day reached out to 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.280 us requesting that we cancel her booking, citing COVID, which 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.480 we thought was odd as it was eight months out. 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:57.160 My staff advised that jar Day was very demanding and threatening. 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.400 Her emails support this. I AM advised that she decided 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.600 to post on an Instagram account about this episode. Smith 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.640 then explained that he represents the property owners who wish 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.840 to give jar Day all have her money back due 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.639 to not wanting to deal with any significant reputation damage. Therefore, 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:16.240 a full refund was processed. Smith confirmed that the business 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.439 was forced to close due to COVID for three months 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.640 in twenty twenty and four months in twenty twenty one. 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.480 He said the only reason we stayed open was to 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.840 deal with the daily waves of people requesting cancelations due 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.840 to COVID. During those times, our costs remained, but the 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.560 business made no money. It has been very difficult for 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.280 the property owners. We represent, our staff and of course 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.639 our guests. Now in an amazing pr move by Weekender, 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.800 they shared an Instagram post announcing that they'd be gifting 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.480 the weekender jar Day would have booked at Mirror Park 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.240 Estate to a lucky follower. They wrote, if it's good 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.600 enough for jar Day, think how awesome this prize will 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.800 be for you and seven besties. They also thanked Jarday 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.240 for the new followers and confirmed that they had struggled 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.439 through twenty twenty one and didn't pay themselves between the 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.480 first of jo and the first of December. They wrote, 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.399 we believe in the power of influencers, but using a 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.040 following for personal gain at the loss and detriment to 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.240 another small business just isn't cool. As for jar Day, 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.480 she has now said her Instagram account to private and 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.520 is keeping a low profile. According to the Daily Telegraph, 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.080 a high profile publicist has alleged that jar Day has 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.040 been pulled from invite lists and brands are avoiding being 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.840 associated with her. One publicist also told the Daily Telegraph 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:28.560 that this could get her canceled. Jar Day even got 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:32.000 a roasting from fellow influencer Ruby Tuesday Matthews, who wrote 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.360 on an instant story sitting at home on a Friday, 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.400 sipping tea, watching the complete shit storm and influencer has 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.320 created yet again having a little and then she used 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:43.359 the gasp emoji. Trust me. I've had my fair share 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.480 of fuck ups, but it's called owning it. Ps sometimes 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.919 apologizing slash making good helps hashtag life lessons. And just 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.760 to wrap things up, a really awkward screenshot of jar 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.600 Day appearing in an Uber Eats ad has resurfaced. I 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.520 wonder how Uber Eats feels about this partnership. In relation 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:04.320 to the review Jarde left was uncovered by celebspelcheck that's 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.560 me the betrothed. 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:10.960 Sorry, I'm actually spoken for. 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.960 Sorry. Yeah. Influencer paychecks are in the spotlight with the 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:19.399 Herald Sun recently reporting what they predict Beck Judd and 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.959 Nadia Bartel make for a single Instagram post. The newspapers 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.960 touted the earnings as staggering and eyewatering. But do the 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.679 predictions really scratch the surface of what influences are making? 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.240 So can you tell us more about this article? Well, 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.960 the Herald Sun ran a story entitled how much Beck 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.800 and Nadia earned for Instagram posts? Now? The article explained 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.760 that they were the most cashed up Victorian influencers and 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.320 were raking in thousands of dollars for a single Instagram post. 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.760 The article then went on to explain that they believe 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.159 Bechjudd makes five five hundred for a post and Nadia 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.560 Bartel makes three thousand, eight hundred and thirty. Now, although 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.160 the average Herald Sun reader might be sitting at home 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.800 flicking through the paper and seeing that figure thinking it's 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:04.160 our astronomical I was actually surprised by that number, because, yes, 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.600 of course, thousands of dollars for putting up a single 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.840 Instagram post in the scheme of things, is a huge amount. 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.320 But from my experience working in pr those amounts don't 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:17.040 scratch the surface of what influencers are actually making. Particularly 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.040 considering that Beck is close to cracking eight hundred thousand 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.440 followers and Nadia has over five hundred thousand followers. Yeah, 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.760 I think that those numbers are so off. When you 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.880 read that out, I was like, what I mean, I've 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:31.800 heard of influencers earning twenty thousand for a post. Or 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:33.960 when I saw the headline, I assumed that maybe the 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.240
