Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
Speaker 1: hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
Speaker 1: Sophie Torba and coming up on today's show, Drake inserts
Speaker 1: himself into the Anna, Paul and Mikayla testa drama. M
Speaker 1: Davies drops her highly anticipated wedding photos and our Friday
Speaker 1: eight debrief. But first, Amy, would you pay nineteen dollars
Speaker 1: for a single strawberry? I love strawberries, but surely no
Speaker 1: one is paying that much for a single one. Well,
Speaker 1: apparently jen Zeta's in California think that this is completely
Speaker 1: reasonable because luxury grocery chain air One, which is known
Speaker 1: for selling twenty dollars celebrity smoothies, has launched a range
Speaker 1: of organic luxury strawberries from Kyoto. Now they're from a
Speaker 1: Japanese retailer called Ellie Amar, and the strawberries are sold
Speaker 1: in these individual plastic pots for nineteen dollars a pop. God,
Speaker 1: you'd want them to taste good? Well, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of TikTokers who are declaring that these are the strawberries
Speaker 1: they've ever tasted. It seems like some sort of placebo effect.
Speaker 1: It's just just a marketing bruise to make their smoothies
Speaker 1: look not so expensive. Maybe well, LA influencer Alyssa and
Speaker 1: Toki has gone viral after sharing a taste test video
Speaker 1: of the nineteen dollars strawberry. Now. The video has since
Speaker 1: wrapped up over fifteen million views. It's absolutely classic. Let's
Speaker 1: throw to what she said.
Speaker 2: This is a nineteen dollars strawberry from.
Speaker 1: Airwin, so we're gonna eat it.
Speaker 3: It's from Kyoto in Japan, and apparently it's like the
Speaker 3: best teasting strawberry.
Speaker 4: In the entire roll.
Speaker 1: So yeah, here we go. Wow, there's the best strawberry.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, out of the best strawberry I've ever had in
Speaker 2: my life.
Speaker 1: Air one is a fucking genius. The way that they
Speaker 1: have glamorized healthy eating and made it so aspirational is
Speaker 1: just incredible. The fact that we are in a cost
Speaker 1: of living crisis but these gen zs are happy to
Speaker 1: shell out nineteen dollars for one strawberry like this is
Speaker 1: fucking insane. And they made the strawberry look so fancy
Speaker 1: it almost looked like an engagement ring because it was
Speaker 1: propped up on this stand. Yeah, it was like it
Speaker 1: was sitting on a stage ready for TikTok, because this
Speaker 1: strawberry was made for a taste test video. They are
Speaker 1: very clever. They know marketing. They know that influencers are
Speaker 1: going to come in and taste test these strawberries the
Speaker 1: same way that they do the smoothies. Well, I've just
Speaker 1: converted it, so it's nineteen American dollars, which is thirty
Speaker 1: dollars and fifty Australian cents. That is crazy. I love
Speaker 1: the way that she was saying it was the best
Speaker 1: strawberry she's ever eaten. Well, it would want to be
Speaker 1: for that price. As expected. This elicited a huge response
Speaker 1: in Alyssa's comments section. One follower wrote, who else thinks
Speaker 1: Air one is a social experiment to see what people
Speaker 1: will spend money on. Another said air one was one
Speaker 1: hundred percent started by a group of UNI students who
Speaker 1: wanted to run a social experiment on consumerism, but ended
Speaker 1: up accidentally creating a successful grocery store. So now they
Speaker 1: just watch and laugh. Another TikToker wrote America is the
Speaker 1: biggest scam, while another commented people can't afford eggs, and
Speaker 1: then there are people spending nineteen dollars on a single strawberry.
Speaker 1: I hate it here it's making grapes at New Year's
Speaker 1: look pretty affordable now. Elissa's video has also led to
Speaker 1: a number of parody videos. Let's throw to my favorite one.
Speaker 4: This is a nineteen dollars strawberry from Arawan. It's from Kyoto, Japan,
Speaker 4: and it's supposed to be like the best in the world,
Speaker 4: so let's eat it.
Speaker 1: He got the clicking of the packaging so correct. Also
Speaker 1: the very suggestive way that a number of these TikTokers
Speaker 1: are eating the fruit as well. It was absolutely spot on.
Speaker 1: What's pretty crazy, though, is there is a market for
Speaker 1: designer fruit. So in Tokyo you are surrounded by twelve
Speaker 1: dollar apples when you go to the markets, and there
Speaker 1: is a brand called Oshi which has made a name
Speaker 1: for itself in Tokyo by selling designer strawberries, but they
Speaker 1: will only set you back two dollars apiece, not nineteen dollars.
Speaker 3: I skin guys, it caught me off God, it caught
Speaker 3: me so off guard.
Speaker 1: The Anna Paul Mikayla tester feud is not going away
Speaker 1: this week. Only fans creator Karina Kopp and controversial superstar
Speaker 1: Drake inserted themselves into the drama now Amy. A lot
Speaker 1: of people were shocked to see an international celebrity like
Speaker 1: Drake weighing into such a local influencer feud.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, Drake's got a lot going on at the moment.
Speaker 1: He's got his own feuds he's fighting. It seemed bizarre
Speaker 1: that this was even on his radar. So on Monday night,
Speaker 1: Drake wore a singlet which read it made Me Feel
Speaker 1: Broke during his concert on the Gold Coast. Michaela tester,
Speaker 1: was obviously ecstatic by the photo of Drake because she
Speaker 1: shared on her Instagram alongside the caption it looks like
Speaker 1: Drake has picked his side with this. I feel broke
Speaker 1: tea Intonight's show in my city, laughing my ass off. Yeah, because,
Speaker 1: just to reiterate, Drake was performing on the Gold Coast,
Speaker 1: which is where Mikayla and Anna are from. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he ended up wearing three different T shirts this week
Speaker 1: at his concerts which referenced the drama. So another one
Speaker 1: of the T shirts read Anna Verse Mikayla Gold Coast
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, while another said Anna max win. Now
Speaker 1: this is a play on term referencing the name of
Speaker 1: his tour, which is Anita max Win Tour. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: one went over my head a little bit. I needed
Speaker 1: to go into the comment section to have that one
Speaker 1: explained to me. Well, apparently Drake's tour name is inspired
Speaker 1: by his love of gambling. Oh lovely, So it loosely
Speaker 1: translates to I need a max win, which is a
Speaker 1: popular gambling term. Just if you don't know that, Sophie. Now,
Speaker 1: many people have labeled Drake as a hypocrite for getting
Speaker 1: involved in the drama due to the very serious allegations
Speaker 1: that Mikayla has leveled at her ex boyfriend Addas Paul,
Speaker 1: that we unfortunately can't get into for legal reasons because
Speaker 1: just this month, Drake made headlines after rapper Kendrick Lamar
Speaker 1: accused him in a distrack of having relationships with underaged women.
Speaker 1: Now Drake has denied these claims. I have to point out.
Speaker 1: Now you might be wondering, how was Drake, who is
Speaker 1: an international celebrity, all over this local drama. Well, it
Speaker 1: has been rumored popular TikToker and sex worker Blue Eyed
Speaker 1: Kayla Jade actually told him to wear the Ifiel Broke shirt.
Speaker 1: So the pair allegedly hung out together ahead of her
Speaker 1: attending one of his concerts. So prior to that news
Speaker 1: going public, Kayla posted a video saying that she was
Speaker 1: hanging out with a certain celebrity, but said she wasn't
Speaker 1: going to say too much because she didn't know if
Speaker 1: she had to sign an NDA. It turns out she
Speaker 1: didn't have to sign one, so she later shared a
Speaker 1: video the next day saying, get ready with me to
Speaker 1: hang out and go to a Drake concert. Now, this
Speaker 1: has led to a lot of disappointment from her followers,
Speaker 1: with many upset that she would align herself with the
Speaker 1: singer due to the recent allegations that have come out
Speaker 1: against him. Actually, one of my friends was telling me
Speaker 1: this week that he had a friend attend one of
Speaker 1: the Drake concerts and they got picked out to go
Speaker 1: to the after party and as soon as they arrived,
Speaker 1: their phones were instantly taken away from them. So there's
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of stuff going on in terms of
Speaker 1: NDA's being signed. I mean, people are a bit dubious
Speaker 1: as to what was actually going on between Drake and Kayler. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, as we've touched on, she is a sex worker.
Speaker 1: So there was some speculation that maybe he hired her
Speaker 1: and was spending time with her. There is a lot
Speaker 1: more to this story because fans are calling for her
Speaker 1: to be canceled now, so we are going to be
Speaker 1: covering this in more depth on Tuesday's show. Now, what
Speaker 1: we are going to concentrate on today is the drama
Speaker 1: between Mikayla Tester and her former friend Corina Kopf. Now,
Speaker 1: according to Michayla, it was Drake's T shirt that sparked
Speaker 1: her former friend to way into the Mikayla and a drama. So,
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, Karina is a twenty nine
Speaker 1: year old US influencer and Only Fans creator who previously
Speaker 1: dated Logan Paul. She has six point seven million Instagram
Speaker 1: followers and four point six million on TikTok, and she
Speaker 1: reportedly made a whopping sixty seven million dollars on Only
Speaker 1: Fans since she joined the platform in twenty twenty one. Now,
Speaker 1: as for Karina's connection to Drake, the pair were linked
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty three and were first spotted together
Speaker 1: backstage at one of his shows. However, it appears by
Speaker 1: April twenty twenty four that things soured between the two,
Speaker 1: with Karina posting Kendrick Lamar's distract to Drake on Instagram Now.
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, Karina took to her Instagram story to accuse
Speaker 1: Mikayla Tester of lying about the Paul family. In the
Speaker 1: scathing attack, she labeled Mikayla as a pathological liar. She wrote,
Speaker 1: I'm done sitting here in silence while other people suffer
Speaker 1: over someone I have first hand experience with. I mean
Speaker 1: this wholeheartedly when I say Mikayla Tester is the most
Speaker 1: narcissistic and manipulative person I've ever met. Until I met her,
Speaker 1: I had never encountered a true pathological liar. Ask anyone
Speaker 1: who has ever come into contact with her, and I
Speaker 1: promise you they will say the exact same thing. Since
Speaker 1: I met her two years ago, she has not had
Speaker 1: one consistent person in her life. Every single person has
Speaker 1: come and gone. It's always everyone else who is the
Speaker 1: fucked up friend who was the common denominator here. I've
Speaker 1: listened to her talk shit about every single friend over
Speaker 1: and over again. The only difference in this situation is
Speaker 1: she's doing it publicly years later for her own personal gain.
Speaker 1: This person craves attention. This is for attention. This is
Speaker 1: for views, this is for personal gain, this is for money. Geez,
Speaker 1: she didn't hold back there. I mean it seems a
Speaker 1: little bit hypocritical to me because she's having a go
Speaker 1: at Michayla for calling out Anna, and she's doing the
Speaker 1: exact same thing to Mikayla. It was only going to
Speaker 1: be a matter of time before someone with a public
Speaker 1: profile came out in support of Anna. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: surprised it's actually taken this long for someone to come
Speaker 1: out and defend her, because she was incredibly popular across
Speaker 1: social media, but everyone seemed to just not want to
Speaker 1: be associated with her. It's been a pylon, hasn't. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of not surprised that Karina's come out because
Speaker 1: she's probably seen exactly what happens when you insert yourself
Speaker 1: into this drama, which is max views more followers, not
Speaker 1: that she probably needs it because she's already earning so
Speaker 1: much money on OnlyFans. But Mikayla was straight on the attack.
Speaker 1: She denied that she was a pathological liar and said
Speaker 1: the only reason Carina had gone off at her was
Speaker 1: because she posted about Drake. So she wrote on Instagram,
Speaker 1: we all know the history there. She then accused Karna
Speaker 1: of having a parasocial relationship with Anna and Adis and
Speaker 1: claimed that she had paid people to try and get
Speaker 1: her Instagram banned in twenty twenty one. Now the allegations
Speaker 1: kept coming. She said that Karna invited her to the
Speaker 1: Bahamas in twenty twenty two after her breakoup with Addis,
Speaker 1: only for Mikayla to find out that Karna had been
Speaker 1: allegedly texting Adis trying to meet up. She also went
Speaker 1: on to say that she and Karna had become friends
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and they were so close that
Speaker 1: she had confided in her about the allegations she's made
Speaker 1: against the polls. Now By twenty twenty four, Michayla says
Speaker 1: Carina was hanging out at her house regularly and stayed
Speaker 1: with her for a month. She finished up by accusing
Speaker 1: Karna of victim blaming and said she's almost thirty and
Speaker 1: relies on young creators and internet drama to boost her
Speaker 1: OnlyFans and create abundance. There definitely seems to be quite
Speaker 1: an interesting history there between the pair, which seems to
Speaker 1: have been exacerbated by the fact that Drake showed support
Speaker 1: for Michayla Well, the slinging match continued, so Karina rebutted
Speaker 1: Michayla's claims in a six minute audio clip to her
Speaker 1: Instagram story. She denied trying to get Michayla's Instagram band
Speaker 1: and said that she didn't have a parasocial relationship with
Speaker 1: the Polls. She also claimed that there are others who
Speaker 1: agree with her that Michayla is a pathological liar and
Speaker 1: urged her followers to pay attention to Michayla's content because
Speaker 1: the proof is in the pudding. She also went on
Speaker 1: to share a screen recording of their Instagram dms between
Speaker 1: each other. Gosh, it's just getting so messy. It's hard
Speaker 1: to be across all of these instagram slinging matches like
Speaker 1: Drake apparently is. Well yeah now. In response, Mikayla shared
Speaker 1: this TikTok video, which has had over three point five
Speaker 1: million views.
Speaker 3: Every single friend I've ever been seen online, every single
Speaker 3: one has messaged me, and majority of them over like
Speaker 3: half of them have actually posted on their own social
Speaker 3: media's saying the fucked up stories that they witnessed with
Speaker 3: the Polls and me and things that they went through
Speaker 3: with them. So tell me who these people are that
Speaker 3: are apparently gonna side with you and anna an artists
Speaker 3: because we aren't singing them. Even our fucking hairdresser and
Speaker 3: the lady that sold us cats and the fucking real
Speaker 3: estates have my back in this situation. I've got every
Speaker 3: receipt and I've just filmed the podcast. God, it was
Speaker 3: so long and so treacherous, but I'm glad it's sober.
Speaker 3: I just can't believe my own friends. I mean, she
Speaker 3: wanted to sleep without us, and she's been begging on
Speaker 3: her to hang out.
Speaker 1: With her for the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: Would come out and stab me in the back like this, guys,
Speaker 3: it caught me off guard.
Speaker 1: It caught me so off guard.
Speaker 3: And everything she's saying in a story, She's like, oh,
Speaker 3: and ask Michayla's friends.
Speaker 1: It really seems like Michayla was caught off guard by
Speaker 1: Karina's claims because in this Michayla references her as a friend.
Speaker 1: It didn't see like they had some fallout before this
Speaker 1: internet drama started.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: Also, Mikayla would have been on probably the biggest high
Speaker 1: of her life seeing an international celebrity like Drake supporting her.
Speaker 1: I mean that being said. Obviously, not everyone loves Drake
Speaker 1: at the moment though, because of those claims. So it's
Speaker 1: a very messy story now. Karina then also brought up
Speaker 1: Michayla's ex boyfriend, kid LaRoy.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Kid LaRoy is an Aussie rapper who Michayla says was
Speaker 1: her first love. Now. The couple dated when Michayla was
Speaker 1: nineteen and kid LaRoy was only sixteen. Now Karina accused
Speaker 1: Michayla of being a hypocrite for dating someone underage and
Speaker 1: said it was against the law. Mikayla hit back on
Speaker 1: her Instagram story, saying, this girl is crazy talking about
Speaker 1: a three year age gap with someone from my past,
Speaker 1: which is legal. I've been sick of this rumor for
Speaker 1: a long time. No, it's not true, and with a
Speaker 1: simple Google search you'll be able to see that. I
Speaker 1: think it's a low of a low act to try
Speaker 1: and paint me as someone that's a bad person when
Speaker 1: in reality they are doing a lot worse. Mikayla followed
Speaker 1: it up with a screenshot from Google which said if
Speaker 1: the sex is consensual and the other party is also
Speaker 1: aged sixteen years or over, it is not against the law.
Speaker 1: This is getting so messy. I just think they need
Speaker 1: to stop responding to each other because it's just muddying
Speaker 1: the water and it's not making either of them look
Speaker 1: particularly good. Oh my god, Gods, I'm getting married today.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, we were on wedding Watch as popular
Speaker 1: influencer m Davies tied the knot to her long term
Speaker 1: boyfriend Joel Gambon in Western Australia. The Perth based influencer,
Speaker 1: who has over four hundred and thirty thousand followers, kept
Speaker 1: fans on edge as she waited three days to share
Speaker 1: the highly anticipated photos. Despite the weight, EM actually posted
Speaker 1: in real time on the morning of her wedding. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is pretty unheard of, particularly for a bride who's
Speaker 1: in the public eye. But I think it was a
Speaker 1: really clever strategy to build up suspense and engagement. I
Speaker 1: also think that Em was very aware of how emotionally
Speaker 1: invested her audience is in her wedding that she wanted
Speaker 1: to make them feel like they were part of the
Speaker 1: day and joining in on the fun, So she uploaded
Speaker 1: a total of three tiktoks on the morning of her wedding.
Speaker 1: The first showdo Waking Up saying that she couldn't believe
Speaker 1: that the day was here, whilst another showed her in
Speaker 1: her white pjs with her hair and rollers, whilst her bridesmaid,
Speaker 1: Lily Brown, poured her a wine. Now fans are pretty
Speaker 1: stoked to be a fly on the wall, riding love you,
Speaker 1: posting in real time and declaring that EM's wedding was
Speaker 1: their Olympics whilst others said it was their royal wedding.
Speaker 1: Is this a bit like how a lot of men
Speaker 1: say that the AFL ground final is their Christmas Day?
Speaker 1: I think it is that vibe. Now, there was one
Speaker 1: TikTok in particular that really struck a chord with EM's followers,
Speaker 1: and it showed her having a quiet moment to herself
Speaker 1: as she opened up her cards from her bridesmaids. Now,
Speaker 1: she made sure to open them up before she had
Speaker 1: her makeup done because she knew that there was going
Speaker 1: to be a lot of tears. And this was a
Speaker 1: really emotional moment because Em sadly lost her mum to
Speaker 1: cancer a number of years ago. And I think it
Speaker 1: was really evident during her Hen's party, what an amazing
Speaker 1: tight knit group of friends she has, Like those girls
Speaker 1: seem to go above and beyond for her. And em
Speaker 1: was reading up the videos, she was in a flood
Speaker 1: of tears and she said, how good of friends when
Speaker 1: you don't have a mom. Now. This sentiment was echoed
Speaker 1: in her comment section, with one follower writing, you were
Speaker 1: so loved your mom picked out so many angels for
Speaker 1: you to walk through life with. Now, whilst this was
Speaker 1: a very touching video, followers couldn't help but notice m's
Speaker 1: something new present As it was described by the Daily Mail.
Speaker 1: So it was a pearl embellished vape case and it
Speaker 1: seemed like her friends had thought of every detail. How
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five is this? Look, it's not something that
Speaker 1: I would personally want, being very anti vape or used.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but you know their thought was there. I
Speaker 1: love that it was covered in pearls and a ribbon.
Speaker 1: For me, it would be like making sure I had
Speaker 1: a wedding appropriate phone case. Yeah, I mean it must
Speaker 1: have been an inside joke between the girls. See for
Speaker 1: your wedding you had a Christmas themed phone case on
Speaker 1: which was red. Look. I didn't even I did not
Speaker 1: cross my mind. Maybe I should have jumped on board
Speaker 1: as a Bridesmagerah for dazzled phone case. Well, this vape
Speaker 1: case was a big hit with her followers, with one
Speaker 1: writing the bedazzled vape is sending me congratulations, darling girl,
Speaker 1: whilst another said who knew a vape could look so elegant?
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe this is an untapped market, Like,
Speaker 1: if anyone's listening, that's a good business idea out. But
Speaker 1: I just imagine this factory that like, fuck, we've just
Speaker 1: started producing the bedazzled g strings from m's Hen's party,
Speaker 1: now we need to get the vape cases out. I
Speaker 1: feel like so many of us were on wedding watch
Speaker 1: over the weekend, particularly because there were so many high
Speaker 1: profile wedding guests attending. Yeah, because Happy Hours. Lucy Jackson
Speaker 1: and Nicki Wescott they were of course in attendance, so
Speaker 1: they flew over from the Gold Coast and appeared to
Speaker 1: rent out a house with Tammy Hembro and Renee and
Speaker 1: Alisha Herbert, who I have to give a shout out
Speaker 1: to because they're actually triplets, so they have a brother,
Speaker 1: which would be such an interesting died out because everyone
Speaker 1: refers to them as the twins, but they're actually triplets.
Speaker 1: It'd be such an interesting dynamic to have two girls
Speaker 1: and a brother, like to see who's closer. I'm assuming
Speaker 1: the girls are the closest. But so the girls actually
Speaker 1: had a glam squad dropped by their accommodation, which led
Speaker 1: to a lot of confusion in the press because a
Speaker 1: lot of gossip journals assumed that this must be the
Speaker 1: bride's house and that they all must be bridesmaid.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It really didn't help that all of the girls wore
Speaker 1: black bar Tammy. Tammy wore a very dark brown dress,
Speaker 1: so they all looked like they were matching, and I
Speaker 1: saw so many articles calling Tammy a bridesmaid. This was
Speaker 1: all over the Daily Mail, and Tammy ended up posting
Speaker 1: a selfie with the girls and wrote twenty nineteen called
Speaker 1: now that was referring to the time that they all
Speaker 1: used to hang out, that they were a bit of
Speaker 1: it girls then now. One noticeable absentee was Tammy's husband,
Speaker 1: Matt Sakowski, and he didn't appear to be in attendance.
Speaker 1: This was despite the couple recently attending one of his
Speaker 1: friend's weddings over Valentine's Day. Yes, I thought maybe m
Speaker 1: didn't include everyone's partners, but a super sleuth did get
Speaker 1: in touch with us, saying that they had a screenshot
Speaker 1: showing Matt Zakowski's name on m seeding plan.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: This photo has since made its way online, and the
Speaker 1: thing that stuck out to me was that Matt's last
Speaker 1: name was spelt incorrectly, so it was spelt Zabkowski with
Speaker 1: a B whoops. Now. One follower wrote, clearly they dislike
Speaker 1: him if they're spelling his name wrong. I mean it
Speaker 1: is quite a complicated name to spell. I feel sorry
Speaker 1: for em because I made my own wedding sign and
Speaker 1: I know the pressure of trying to get everyone spelling correct.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: A lot of people noticed as well that Tammy's name
Speaker 1: was just Tammy hembro On there, even though she has
Speaker 1: taken Zakowski as her official name or Zubkowski Subkowski. Now.
Speaker 1: We ended up sharing a photo of the wedding sign
Speaker 1: on our Instagram story, and Matt sadly wrote in saying
Speaker 1: that one of his family members was rushed to surgery,
Speaker 1: so that that is why he flew to Melbourne to
Speaker 1: be with them and wasn't at the wedding. He's also
Speaker 1: asked for privacy on that matter, so I felt quite
Speaker 1: sorry for him because a lot of people were jumping
Speaker 1: to conclusions that maybe the couple had had a fight,
Speaker 1: so we just wanted to clear that one up for him. Now,
Speaker 1: a bit of a fun fact while we're on the
Speaker 1: topic of Tammy and Matt is that em and Joel
Speaker 1: hired the same social media content creator as them. So
Speaker 1: the creator in question is Olivia Burrow's Sutherland, and she
Speaker 1: has over one hundred and three thousand followers on TikTok,
Speaker 1: and she is just the it's social media content creator
Speaker 1: at the moment, especially for these high program and I
Speaker 1: love it because she created a get Ready with Me
Speaker 1: video ahead of the wedding explaining it's her first time
Speaker 1: in wa and showing us what she wears for a
Speaker 1: wedding like that, because for a lot of those creators,
Speaker 1: it's highlight we've shot wedding videos before because you're a videographer,
Speaker 1: am I was there merely assisting, but it's a long
Speaker 1: day on your feet and you want to look nice,
Speaker 1: but you don't want to look distracting at the same
Speaker 1: time and still be able to do all of the
Speaker 1: physical labor room. I feel me same thing. I was like,
Speaker 1: she looks really good what she's wearing like she looked
Speaker 1: smart but fashionable. I mean, there'd be a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure to show up to a wedding like that with
Speaker 1: so many influences in attendance. Now, despite the fact that
Speaker 1: Em was posting in real time on the morning of
Speaker 1: her wedding, we didn't get to see professional photos for
Speaker 1: three very long days, and many fans predicted that maybe
Speaker 1: there was such a big weight because EM might have
Speaker 1: had a similar deal as Tammy did with Vogue. That
Speaker 1: wasn't actually the case. It seemed like the couple were
Speaker 1: soaking in all of the love and maybe they were
Speaker 1: waiting still to get their photos back because I know
Speaker 1: not all wedding photographers get you the photo back the
Speaker 1: day after. I mean there's some editing involved. Oh you
Speaker 1: get a handful, and you might not particularly like the
Speaker 1: you know, all the photos that they've sent through, and
Speaker 1: there was a lot of pressure on EM to share.
Speaker 1: I saw so many TikTok videos of people saying that
Speaker 1: they had eagerly been waiting. Let's have a listen to
Speaker 1: one of those.
Speaker 2: And Davies, I have them burone to pick with you.
Speaker 2: It's been two days since your wedding and no one,
Speaker 2: including yourself, has posted photos. I need to see your dress.
Speaker 2: I know you would have multiple dresses. I need to
Speaker 2: see the reception. I need to see Laala, I need
Speaker 2: to see Lily. Joel, what is going on? Sort it out? Girl?
Speaker 2: We are dying over here.
Speaker 1: There was certainly a lot of hype, and EM's new husband, Joel,
Speaker 1: had to call for calm, so he shared a photo
Speaker 1: of himself in his suit on Instagram because you know,
Speaker 1: let's be honest, no one really cares what the groom
Speaker 1: is wearing. That wasn't ruining anything, and he wrote, what
Speaker 1: a weekend. We will share with everyone when we're ready
Speaker 1: and slowly get back to all of your lovely messages.
Speaker 1: Our daughter comes first. We are so in love with
Speaker 1: each other, everyone who is in attendance, and we feel
Speaker 1: all the love from the messages you've shared with us online.
Speaker 1: I can see why there was so much interesting online
Speaker 1: because Em initially sharing stuff on TikTok the morning of
Speaker 1: it really wets your appetite. You're like, right, okay, now
Speaker 1: I'm ready for the photos. Yeah yeah, Well. Em also
Speaker 1: had to remind her friends and family not to post
Speaker 1: photos of her dress, so she shared on Instagram. Just
Speaker 1: a reminder to anyone who celebrated with us yesterday, please
Speaker 1: hold off on posting until I do. It's sad that
Speaker 1: you have to remind people of that, but honestly, every
Speaker 1: influencer wedding there seems to be some dickhead who ends
Speaker 1: up sharing some grainy photo or even just friends' weddings.
Speaker 1: I've noticed there's not a lot of etiquette that goes on.
Speaker 1: It's always like a grandparent or a great aunt that
Speaker 1: I fucking photo as well, and you're like, I don't
Speaker 1: want that to be the first one. It seemed like
Speaker 1: someone maybe did share something and there was a bit
Speaker 1: of a dirty delete happened. Luckily that seemed to happen
Speaker 1: quite quickly when you reflect as well. This wedding would
Speaker 1: have been absolutely huge in Wa and it's nice to
Speaker 1: see that no media ruined her dress revealed because like
Speaker 1: they did with Tammy Hembro. Yeah, I think the difference
Speaker 1: is that m Davies she might be big in the
Speaker 1: influencers space like the girl world, but I don't think
Speaker 1: she's as big a celebrity to the likes of the
Speaker 1: Daily Mail or the everyday person. Doesn't seem to know
Speaker 1: who she is as much as say someone like Tammy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she seems to be the people's princess in a way
Speaker 1: because she's relatable, like you know her. Well, that's been
Speaker 1: a big change, though. I think it's only since she
Speaker 1: really gave birth to her daughter that I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people have seen this other side to m Davy. Well,
Speaker 1: she seems to be one of the most beloved influencers
Speaker 1: at the moment now. As we predicted, the photos, of course,
Speaker 1: dropped on Tuesday night after our episode went to air. Now,
Speaker 1: she shared a collection of photos from the day and wrote,
Speaker 1: mister and missus Gamban the best weekend full of love.
Speaker 1: We have no words. Here's a sneak peek because I
Speaker 1: don't think I can keep you guys waiting any longer.
Speaker 1: She looked stunning. Yeah, all of the photos. She's beautiful,
Speaker 1: so elegant. The first photo showed em and Joel during
Speaker 1: their ceremony at Fraser Gallup Estate, and she wore a
Speaker 1: strapless gown with a corsett bodice and a flared skirt,
Speaker 1: as well as a long veil with a lace trim.
Speaker 1: The dress actually was quite similar to Tammy's apart from
Speaker 1: the fact that it was white and not pink, and
Speaker 1: a lot of people drew comparison between her veil and
Speaker 1: also Nicky Westcott's veil that looked really elegant. That's what
Speaker 1: I took from. I thought, Wow, you look really classy,
Speaker 1: you look beautiful. It wasn't it wasn't like over the top,
Speaker 1: but it was just really timely, simple. And the thing
Speaker 1: is she is very fashion for she had her own
Speaker 1: fashion line. There was so much controversy because she dared
Speaker 1: to wear a white gee string to a hen's party,
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of people thought maybe her
Speaker 1: dress was going to be quite revealing or out there.
Speaker 1: I was expecting something more daring, But we haven't seen
Speaker 1: the other dresses yet. I think we've got two other
Speaker 1: dresses which she hasn't revealed. I think it's one of
Speaker 1: the best influencer dresses we've seen.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, the dress was from New York designer Danniel Frankel,
Speaker 1: which was a really nice touch because they got engaged
Speaker 1: in New York. There was a lot of confusion because
Speaker 1: people seemed to think it was a vera weighing dress
Speaker 1: when she clearly outlined that it was from this designer. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: the Blue Tick Brigade, as usual, were our enforced to
Speaker 1: congratulate m. Tammy wrote best day, so happy for you,
Speaker 1: whilst Ruby Tuesday Matthew said oh sweet baby Jesus and
Speaker 1: Sabby Robinson wrote amazing, congratulations beautiful. Now Following the wedding,
Speaker 1: em has since changed her name on Instagram, so in
Speaker 1: her Instagram bio it reads Emily Gambon, but her handle
Speaker 1: still remains M. Davies. Yeah. I understand my influencers do
Speaker 1: that because it'd be really difficult for people to be
Speaker 1: able to search you they're so used to your maiden name.
Speaker 1: Tammy Hembro did the same thing. She has Zakowski in
Speaker 1: her Yeah. Now we have to talk about the reunion
Speaker 1: between Lily Brown and Lucy and Nicky. So after EM's
Speaker 1: Hen's Party, there was a lot of speculation around how
Speaker 1: the three all navigated that weekend away together because they
Speaker 1: have had a very publicized feud I and they're all
Speaker 1: getting sick of talking about. Oh yeah, because on the
Speaker 1: Happy Hour podcast, Lucy and Nicky said that it was
Speaker 1: all very civil at the Hen's party and it was
Speaker 1: nowhere near as dramatic as everyone thought it was going
Speaker 1: to be. It did sound as though they were just
Speaker 1: tolerating each other, though, and they were pleasant for MSA.
Speaker 1: It didn't sound like they were friends by any means,
Speaker 1: And I think that's why it was so special to
Speaker 1: see a group photo pop up where em was in
Speaker 1: the middle in her wedding pajamas and she was surrounded
Speaker 1: by Lily, Lucy and Nicki and they all had their
Speaker 1: arms around each other and looked like they were in conversation.
Speaker 1: They were laughing, they were smiling, they looked on good
Speaker 1: terms and as though they were trying to make a
Speaker 1: real effort with each other. Yeah, and Em reposted the
Speaker 1: photo and wrote, oh how this makes me so happy.
Speaker 1: I really feel like weddings bring out the best in people,
Speaker 1: particularly and the worst. Well and the worst, but you
Speaker 1: know when you're there, And I mean I kept seeing
Speaker 1: em Rey sharing a lot of Instagram stories of her
Speaker 1: friends basically recapping the wedding, saying how electric the feeling
Speaker 1: was in the room and that it was such a
Speaker 1: beautiful vibe. There was so much love. I think, particularly
Speaker 1: with em losing her mum, maybe people put all of
Speaker 1: their differences aside and thought, let's just be there for
Speaker 1: her this argument is stupid. Yeah, well I think they've
Speaker 1: all grown up as well. Yeah, definitely. This is Amy
Speaker 1: coming to you from the future to let you know that.
Speaker 1: Just after editing up this podcast last night, m Davies
Speaker 1: dropped some links to her Vogue photo shoots. So we
Speaker 1: just want to acknowledge we are aware of the stunning
Speaker 1: photos that came out of em and Joel's wedding, but
Speaker 1: we weren't able to talk about them in today's podcast.
Speaker 1: Perhaps we'll touch it on Tuesday. Let's get into our
Speaker 1: Friday debrief now. I have realized this week, Sophie, how
Speaker 1: heavily pregnant I must look, because during a lot of
Speaker 1: shoots we've had with our business, I have noticed so
Speaker 1: many people rushing to my aid. Well, so they should
Speaker 1: have mean, you're thirty two weeks pregnant. And I've been
Speaker 1: feeling guilty because with Hula Media, you do all of
Speaker 1: our videography work. I am not trained in filming, but
Speaker 1: I'm there to assist you. I produce, I ask all
Speaker 1: the questions, and I help her I can, but we
Speaker 1: have had to buy a buggy to carry all of
Speaker 1: our camera equipment in because it looks wrong to pregnant
Speaker 1: women struggling with this equipment. Well, I remember having this
Speaker 1: conversation when you became pregnant. I was like, Fuck, it's
Speaker 1: going to be super awkward with the business when we
Speaker 1: both cup to shoots and we both look so pregnant,
Speaker 1: because people are going to be like, what is going
Speaker 1: on here? Well, I think I'm hiding it okay at
Speaker 1: the moment. But it is nice to see people actually
Speaker 1: lending you a hand though, because I know we were
Speaker 1: out on a work site yesterday and you were on
Speaker 1: the ground, sitting on the dirt getting your stabilizer together,
Speaker 1: and this man's like, do you need me to help
Speaker 1: you out? When you tried to get up, and because
Speaker 1: of my stomach, I am thrown off center slightly and
Speaker 1: I have been relying on you to help give me
Speaker 1: a hand. This man, because I was wearing boots with
Speaker 1: a heel on it, I think he was like, holy fuck,
Speaker 1: she's gonna absolutely stack it, and he ran over. I
Speaker 1: also had a man at the tie takeaway shop who
Speaker 1: offered to take my box of takeaway to the car.
Speaker 1: I thought it was so sweet. I haven't had any
Speaker 1: assistance yet. I haven't had anyone comment yet. Saying congratulations
Speaker 1: in the store or anything like when I'm shopping or
Speaker 1: anything like that. You don't really look pregnant, though. Oh,
Speaker 1: I've really been feeling in the past couple of days.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a moment where your stomach just
Speaker 1: pops and I feel like that that is happening. Right.
Speaker 1: We are still at that phase where it would be
Speaker 1: rude for somebody to bring it up. It might be
Speaker 1: a bit on the fence about what's going on now.
Speaker 1: I wanted to chat about a documentary I have become
Speaker 1: obsessed with this week, and it is The American Manhunt
Speaker 1: O J. Simpson. I have been telling anyone and everyone
Speaker 1: about this documentary. I've watched so many OJ Simpson series before,
Speaker 1: whether they're like dramas or their documentaries. I'm so interested
Speaker 1: in the case. And this documentary featured new interviews with
Speaker 1: a lot of key figures from the investigation and also
Speaker 1: the trial. And what I found super interesting was that
Speaker 1: Ojay's former manager, Mike Gilbert was interviewed and he admitted
Speaker 1: that after the trial, and you know, there was a
Speaker 1: few years after he finally got the courage to ask
Speaker 1: oj what actually happened that night. So this was OJ
Speaker 1: was having to sell his house that he lived in
Speaker 1: with Nicole, and I think apparently it was a very
Speaker 1: emotional night, and OJ said, well, what do you think happened?
Speaker 1: And he said he didn't want to him, so he said,
Speaker 1: I think you didn't mate, and OJ replied something along
Speaker 1: the lines of, well, if Nicole didn't answer the door
Speaker 1: with that knife, she'd still be alive today, which was
Speaker 1: just so telling. Like my husband and I were just
Speaker 1: so appalled watching it and so angry that the defense
Speaker 1: case was able to make it about race instead of
Speaker 1: being about the victims. Oh yeah, I mean, you watch
Speaker 1: that back and you think, how the hell did he
Speaker 1: not go to jail? I mean, he clearly did it.
Speaker 1: And I think what makes this documentary so interesting is
Speaker 1: this as one of the first documentaries that's been released
Speaker 1: since OJ Simpson's deaths, and obviously defamation laws don't apply
Speaker 1: to the dead, so they're going there with this dot momentary.
Speaker 1: I also think that there were a lot of friends
Speaker 1: in OJ's life who felt uncomfortable to speak out against
Speaker 1: him when he was still alive, even though maybe they
Speaker 1: parted ways. I think that they didn't want the wrath
Speaker 1: of him afterwards. Well, I think that's all we've got
Speaker 1: time for today. Thank you so much for listening to
Speaker 1: another episode of Outspoken. Now, anyone who has listened to
Speaker 1: our subs episode, I just want to say, hashtag free
Speaker 1: my carpet cleaner. I've still not received it. And I
Speaker 1: do want to point out that I could barely get
Speaker 1: a word in during that It was very difficult to
Speaker 1: edit up that I say, I am so overhearing about
Speaker 1: this carpet cleaner. So, for those who don't know, we
Speaker 1: had an am I the asshole segment in our episode
Speaker 1: and Kate and Sophie decided to bring quite a personal
Speaker 1: issue over to the subs. It was basically about Kate
Speaker 1: not returning Sophie's carpet cleaner. One of Kate's excuses was
Speaker 1: that Sophie no longer has carpet in her house, so
Speaker 1: that means that she should get to keep the carpet cleaner.
Speaker 1: A pretty shit defense, I thought. I mean, her nose
Speaker 1: was growing by the second during that podcast. I'm want
Speaker 1: to call her pinocchio. Well, she's not here to defend
Speaker 1: claimed that she has not been using it. I know
Speaker 1: from a good source she's been using it non stop
Speaker 1: and she's relying on this carpet cleaner anyway, source her
Speaker 1: dogs anyway. It was quite a funny debate in there,
Speaker 1: but I was I was absolutely shocked to my core
Speaker 1: to see someone in our Facebook community deciding with Kate. So,
Speaker 1: if anyone is team Sophie and thinks and praise for
Speaker 1: the release of my carpet cleaner, could you please let
Speaker 1: me know we should put up a poll on the
Speaker 1: guess we will. I actually sent a screenshot to my
Speaker 1: husband being like, can you believe that someone is on
Speaker 1: Kate's side?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: What the fuck? And it was a very very lovely listener.
Speaker 1: I'm no offense to this listener, but there was a
Speaker 1: lot of deception during that podcast record. Kate was pulling
Speaker 1: on a lot of heartstrings. She kept mentioning that she
Speaker 1: has an eight month old son. I think that was
Speaker 1: getting a lot of sympathy. I think I would have
Speaker 1: got drunk if I took a shot every time she
Speaker 1: said she had an eight month old child. I had
Speaker 1: to cut out a few mentions of it. I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe it. Well, can I set the scene? Because I
Speaker 1: actually had to leave halfway through this recording because I
Speaker 1: had something to do. With work on, and you guys
Speaker 1: were like in my house screaming over this carpet clean
Speaker 1: and I was like, no one wants to hear it. Like,
Speaker 1: so the conversation was heavily edited. Oh, I had to
Speaker 1: cut out so much and it was so frustrating because
Speaker 1: anytime Amy and I would make a point about the
Speaker 1: carpet cleaner, Kate would yell over. So it ended up
Speaker 1: being her sob story when in actual fact she had
Speaker 1: the carpet cleaner at ten weeks back. Again, she refuses
Speaker 1: any she refuses to let me come and pick it up.
Speaker 1: I've usd so many times saying I'll pick it up.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to pick this. This is becoming like the
Speaker 1: Mikayla and Karna fight where the water has been completely
Speaker 1: muddied here. But should I slam her on my Instagram story?
Speaker 1: Should I put out a few fucking comments about okay? Well,
Speaker 1: if you are interested in hearing that fight, which probably
Speaker 1: after this description no one is, make sure you check
Speaker 1: out on some episode. And if you haven't already and
Speaker 1: you do like listening to the podcast, we would really
Speaker 1: appreciate if you could leave us a five star review
Speaker 1: because it really helps out the podcast. This episode was
Speaker 1: recorded on the traditional land of the Ghana people of
Speaker 1: the Adelaide Planes. We pay respect to elders past and
Speaker 1: present
