Speaker 1: So Dramatic would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land. This podcast was recorded on the Vigigal and Gaddigal people Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
00:00:12
Speaker 2: Oh yes, we've never had a real life divo, Deny, maybe you warning? Okay, let's tell guess.
00:00:29
Speaker 1: From reality TV to real life. It's all just so dramatic. It is a meeting Pisteto, What up Drama Army. Welcome to another episode of So Dramatic, your number one destination for all of the latest, hottest and most exclusive reality TV goss I'm your host, Meeghan Pistetto, and I have a super juicy tea Tuesday episode for you guys today. It has been a while. It's good to be back. So I have been on a bit of our hiatus with tea Tuesdays, basically just because I've been sick. I've been cooked and busy with interviews and other traumas. But we are back to regular programming and it only means that today's tea has been brewing for extra lum So that's extra hot for you guys. Now, just some quick housekeeping before we get into things. So last week I dropped two So Dramatic Extra episodes that were extra juicy as the name suggests, and yesterday I also gave you guys a little treat by making a recent extra episode public for everyone. That episode was titled my personal opinion about Dominica Calaco's return to social media and elading podcast drama, and the reason I made that episode public was because a lot of you thought that it was one that needed to be heard by the masses more people. So thank you to all of the VIP, Patreon and Apple subscription members who not only allowed that but encouraged it and were so generous in letting other people listen to it as well. So you can thank them and also get a little taste for the content that usually goes on So Dramatic Extra. And if anyone has a problem with me telling it how it is and calling hout shitty behavior of those with or without mental health problems, I want to cancel me over it, Well be my guest. I am desperate for a holiday. Anyway, One more thing before we get into today's episode, I have a bit of an exciting announcement to make little milestone we need to mark. So Saturday mark four years of so dramatic, not bad for a want to be pathetic and journalist with no talent. I just cannot believe that it's been four years of doing this podcast. Someone said, can I do another four years? And I'm just honestly exhausted thinking about that. I'm exhausted even not thinking about that. But yes, I started this podcast four years ago during COVID just as a little hobby to keep me busy, and it really turned into something I could have never imagined and now I'm kind of stuck with so I just wanted to share my appreciation for all of you guys who listen, send in tea, defend me against the trolls, or just support me in general. Like I've said before, it is a group assignment and I'm so grateful for all of you. And it has been a wild ride the last four years. I think I need to do like a recap of the craziest moments, although I'm not sure if I want to go back and relive that trauma and be that is going to take aim very long time because there's been quite a few. But anyway, thank you guys. You are the fucking best, and thank you for making so dramatic what it is today anyway, Here's to another four years hopefully of spilling tea and drama and not being fully canceled. And on that note, coming up today, Married at First sits Lauren Dunn has been spotted on a date with a new man. Has Farmer Tom moved on with another lady from his farm? All the signs pointing to Farmer Joe and Sarah's shock breakup Amby Chatfield throw shade at an ex MAPS bride Jessica Power has sparked split rumors from her UK Djbay Brent Anthony. Even more problematic comments from Married at First Sight Ellen Ding's recent hashtag girl boss event have surfaced, debunking all the rumors about Married at First Site twenty twenty five, which MAP stars have scored an invite to this year's logis, and the truth about Farmer Andrew and Claire's canceled wedding, plus lots more so much drama, so little time. Let's get into the show.
00:03:56
Speaker 3: Last person, we can tell things to do.
00:03:58
Speaker 2: You want to know something.
00:04:01
Speaker 3: So juicy?
00:04:04
Speaker 1: Let's start, as always with our reality TV sightings of the week. XO XO spotted Married at First Sight bride Lauren Dunn on a date with a mystery man hashtag new man who this one of my many spies sends us this, hey gal, I was out for dinner in Perth the other night and I saw Lauren from Maps on a date with a guy. No idea who he was. I don't think he's anyone famous, not that I know of, anyway, but he was pretty good looking and tall. I didn't see them kiss or anything, but they looked pretty into each other. They were chatting and laughing all night, and when they left together, he had his arm around her, so it deaths looks more like a friend's situation. Sorry, no picks, didn't want to embarrass myself. I'll forgive you this one time. Sounds like Lauren might be off the market. Good for her now. This comes after she recently hinted that she does have a new man in her life. So during an Instagram Q and a earlier this month, she was asked if she was dating anyone at the moment, and she replied saying, the person I want to date has made it very clear that he has zero interest in being the spotlight, and I have to respect his decision. So at the moment, I'm just having fun. She also mentioned this mystery man during another Q and A back in May, saying there's one particular person on my mind, but I'm going to be fairly cagy with any future relationships. And if anyone out there knows who the lucky mystery guy is, please slide into my DMS excel excel Spotted farmer wants a wife's farmer Tom hanging out with one of his ladies, Angela hashtag fancy seeing you here. So Angela was Tom's mum's choice on the farm, and if you don't remember her that way, you might remember her as the one who screamed in the barn because her white shoes got dirty and then quit halfway through her first day hashtag debr antics. So she posted a photo with Tom to her story earlier this month, and in the photo they were posing with their arms around each other, so they looked pretty chummy. I will pop the photo up on Patreon if you want to take a look. But could this be another farm recoupling or are they just friends catching up? If it is a recoupling, hopefully Angela has listened to my chat with Tom's final two Chrissy and Sarah and proceeds with caution Episode four hundred for the tea on that. EXCELXL, speaking of farmer wants a wife spotted Sarah removing all traces of boyfriend farmer Joe from her Instagram hashtag social media extermination. One of my many spies sends us this, a farmer Joe and Sarah are still together. They still follow each other, but it looks like she's deleted all traces of him from her grid and removed Snowy Mountain from her bio. Now, in social media speak, this is never a good sign. I did reach out to Sarah and Joe for comment, but at the time of recording, they had not responded, So I guess we'll have to watch this space for a breakup announcement all possibly a loved up selfie. Let's hope it's the latter. EXCELXL, speaking of breakups, spotted it looks like there might be trouble brewing in Paradise for Married at First Sight by Jessica Power and her UK DJ boyfriend Brent Anthony hashtag breakup season. One of my many spies sends us this, It looks like Jessica Power and her boyfriend Brent have split. They have both removed all photos of each other from Instagram and have unfollowed each other. She's also moved back to England and posted in her stories asking if anyone could help her get her dog back to Manchester in the UK from France, and I thought it was a bit odd. Then a few hours later all the photos of them were gone and we all know what that means. However, a few days later, another spy sent me this. Jessica and Brent stopped following each other and deleted all posts. But now they are back to following each other. Not sure what's going on. He also posted a photo of them together and niece for the day. Maybe she's just gone back to get her dog. Interesting now. Over the weekend, Jessica shened Instagram's story with two guy mates and she tagged Brent in the post as well. So maybe they've managed to patch things up. Maybe she's just gone to get her dog and they're still on friendly terms. Who knows. I suggest we keep our eyes and ears peeled for more updates. Excel Excel spotted Avid Chatfield throwing shade at ex boyfriend and bachelorette star Conrad b and Stevens hashtag shots fired. So Abby made a not so subtle dear get her former Bay by sharing a meme to her story which read, ask your boyfriend to break gender norms by cleaning the toilet and doing the cooking instead of wearing nail polish. Now, Conrad has famously worn nail polish since his time on the show. He even painted brook Blowden's nails during one of their dates, and when he was with Abby he would regularly post pictures of himself at the nail salon. Basically it was like his signature thing. So I'm pretty sure this is directed at Conrad, unless some of her other ex's also wore nail polish and it's got a broader meaning to her. Either way, I'm living for the shade, and I'm not talking about the color of Conrad's polish. Excellent excell. Just a quick warning, this next story contains uneducated comments that may cause you to lose brain cells. Please listen with caution. Spotted Married at First Sight bride Ella Ding being a keynote speaker at an influencer event for fast fashion label Pretty Little Thing, which was titled Becoming a Girl Boss hashtag cheap and nasty. One of my many spies sends us this. So I was at this influencer event for Pretty Little Thing last week and Ella was a keynote speaker. She told the audience that she used to run a call center in Asia where she overworked and underpaid her employees. She said she opened it up herself when she was in her early twenties in the Philippines. She said that that was where she learned the importance of hustle culture. She was boasting about how she underpaid and overworked her staff, who worked twelve hour days, seven days a week, but basically nothing. She was really proud of how she profited off cheap labor and used it as an inspiring example of how we all need to hustle more and it is giving Kim Kardashian when she.
00:09:30
Speaker 2: Said, get your fucking ass up and work.
00:09:32
Speaker 1: They continued. She proudly told these young girls about how she had basically failed high school and then switched between odd jobs, but said it worked out for her now because she's living her best life as an influencer for some amazing fashion brands like Pretty Little Thing aka an amazing fashion brand that exploits their workers as well. I guess birds of a feather really do flock together. Now, for those who aren't aware, A Pretty Little Thing is a fast fashion brand that has been accused of not only underpaying their workers and abusing their rights, not ethically sourcing materials, evading taxes, and they also received a worse rating for their environmental impact. Now the corporate girlie, who was in the crowd, our little tea spiller continued, she had no idea how problematic it sounded. She boasted about it as if it was some big achievement to be proud of. She is seriously so uneducated. Whenever I hear these stories about domin Ella, I honestly think it's like a satire spoof for influencers. It is giving Chris Lily, they continued. She comes across as very problematic and self absorbed. She also told the audience that Joe Rogan is her hero fucking girl, which is such a wild comment to make when her and Dom have positioned themselves as feminists. She also gave some tips for anyone wanting to go on reality TV, saying that if you go on, it needs to be for the right reasons, not to become famous, ought to become an influencer. She said that she truly went on Maths to find love and had no plans to do Instagram influencing or social media. Well Our Corporate Girley continued. She said she was so heartbroken after Maths and none of that was on her agenda, but then a talent agency reached out to represent her. She said even then she still didn't want to do any of that. She thinks her TikTok account is terrible and she doesn't get it or understand the algorithm. She feels out of date. She also said, I'm always asking for feedback. I think that's important with any job. If you want to get better, ask for feedback. Now that is really interesting. Even at any time she does get feedback, she does not take it on board. She just doubles down and blames others. Our Corporate GIRLI, who is definitely getting an A plus this semester for this note taking continued. She also said you need to be resilient and not have any pre existing mental health conditions like anxiety. She said she never had anxiety before MAPS, but has it now. She also told the audience she's big on manifestation and even watched YouTube videos about it when she was younger. One manifestation guru inspired her to get a tattoo on it inspired her to get a tattoo on her shoulder that reads what you imagine, you create, what you think, you become, what you feel you attract. Oh God, say no more. I mean, I don't know what's more shocking Ella flexing about overworking and underpaying her employees, or saying that she loves feedback, or even just the fact that she was chosen to be a keynote speaker and giving advice to young women, probably the latter, to be honest, No, actually all of the above. You know what, this has reminded me of some really dumb stuff that Ella said to me in the past. I'm not gonna put it on here because their stands will come for me and it was a private confo. But I will put it on so dramatic extra this Friday. It is actually quite funny. Also, the term hashtag girl boss is very funny to me, to be blunt, I hate it. It is such an anti feminist term because we would never call a guy a hashtag boy boss, like he would just be impossed. I don't know. I just think girl boss feminism is, like it's, from what I understand, essentially built on the idea that women can free themselves from the patriarchy by achieving financial success alone, which is simply not true. Dismantling unequal power structures in society requires a little bit more than just pay equality. But understanding that might be a little bit out of Ella's wheelhouse. We'll just leave Ella to bask in her first wave feminism glory over at the Pretty Little Thing Warehouse now. I also just want to suggest, guys that you read an amazing feature from news dot com today us James Weir, because he also attended the hashtag girl Boss event and wrote a brilliant story about it with even more problematic things that Ella said. It is definitely worth a read.
00:13:17
Speaker 3: Excellxcel so dramatic with Meghan fisetto.
00:13:24
Speaker 1: All right, some quick updates before we get into the juice. So a few episodes ago, we had a spice end in their sighting of some couples on their honeymoon being filmed in Vanowatu for an upcoming show. They did think that it was married at first sight, but I didn't think it was because the timing didn't match up, so I said that it might have been the new show Stranded on Honeymoon Island. However, someone wrote in after this and said, Hey, Megan, I think it could have been Math's New Zealand that you're spotted was about in episode three hundred and ninety five. I believe both the weddings and honeymoons were filmed in Vanawatu. Good to know now. I've also been given the exclusive info that Stranded on Honeymoon Island was filmed in Fiji. They go, it's all starting to make sense now and it must have been married at first sight in New Zealand. Good to know, and our original spy you were correct after all. Kind of oh my god. A quick update or married at first sits Jaden Enter's dating life, if anyone out there cares so. In recent months, So Dramatic has revealed that Jaden appears to be dating a brunette woman who he was pictured making out with at a club whilst he was still dating Eden. Things ought to be getting series between them when they were spotted for a second time walking arm in arm along the promenade at Burley Beach shortly after. However, following this tea, another spy wrote in to throw a bit of a spanner in the works, saying they know of another girl that Jayden has been dating. A dished I know a girl who has been sleeping with Jaden. She's blonde, so it's not the one you've been told about. They've been sleeping together since February. When I last spoke to her in May, they were still together. Ooh la la. Now this is interesting because Eden has confirmed to So Dramatic that her and Jaden was still very much together in February, and they even spent Valentine's Date together, So it sounds like there are a few crossovers happening on Jaden's timeline. Oh my god, I'm gonna all right, let's get into the juice. So, whilst we are all still trying to recover from the carnage of the latest season, have married at first sight. The twenty twenty five season is already upon us. So last week, Yaho Lifestyle reported that not only had the twenty twenty five cast been confirmed, but filming would be commencing later this month. Asaurce told the outlet that the maps twenty twenty five Bucks and Hens parties will kick off at the end of July, and then the highly anticipated weddings will be filmed on the Gold Coast after that. Now, lucky you guys have me, because I can confirm that this is actually fake news. So Dramatic can reveal that filming for Maps twenty twenty five has already begun. The infamous Bucks and Hens nights were actually filmed last week, So don't believe everything you read on your Who Lifestyle unless it's stories they have copied word for word from So Dramatic and try to pass off as their own hashtag exclusive. Now, so far two brides have been revealed, re a fitness influencer from Melbourne and Sierra, a former Bachelor contestant. And if anyone knows anyone else on the next season, please slide into my dms aap oh. Speaking of fake news from Yahoo Lifestyle, they recently published a story titled Exclusive Timothy exposes the reason behind his feud with Lucinda Eight Chances were enough. The story read. Speaking exclusively with Yahoo Lifestyle, tim reveals that his relationship with Lisinda came to an end because of their different lifestyles, and approaches to friendship. He says he hoped their friendship would evolve after the show finish, but away from the cameras, he noticed Liscinda was a little different to who he had been married to during filming. The cameras do that to people, he says, Listender may have buckled under the pressure with so many people wanting a piece of her, The article continued, and bear with me, there is a point for me reading this out. The business owner adds that he didn't want to walk away easily from the friendship, but felt like eight chances was enough. When asked if he's jealous of Lacinda's enormous success after the show, Tim asserted that he isn't and hope she will continue to find even more success in her new adventures. However, he says he didn't want to be a pawn in the storylines, that he started to feel uncomfortable with hearing bits and pieces that were untrue, stuff that was twisted. That has been disappointing. He continued. I think some people, and I'm not just saying Lacinda, but some people have let this spot of notoriety go to their head, and I don't want to go down that path. The show is over. I had a good time, but I really want to go back to my normal life and be me again without the lens of that TV show. People have become their characters, and that is a dangerous path to go down. You can lose yourself. The article then said, A close friend of the pair tells Y'aho Lifestyle that Tim ended their friendship after hearing Lacinda had been gossiping about him. The source remarked could have been more relatable. Friendship in the real world ends over disloyalty, and no one likes to hear their best mate has been gossiping about them. Tim was hearing things that Lascinda was saying about him behind his back, which kept on happening. Tim tells yah Who Lifestyle that when it comes to friendship, he sees himself as a loyal person and expects the same in return. He declares, the fact of the matter is that if you have a problem with me, or you find yourself talking about me in a way you know I would appreciate, then that is not a good friend. I don't want to be a bad guy. I don't want to slag anyone, but we are both now moving in different circles with different priorities. Now, when I read this, I kind of got the feeling that something was off. And I was also shocked that Tim had done an interview, because he did say to me privately that he didn't want to do an interview. So I gave him a call and he said, they just made that up. Half of that is bullshit. I never spoke to Yahoo Lifestyle and I definitely didn't do an interview with them. I have said parts of that to people, but not all of it, and the parts I have said have been taken out of context. The only explanation I have is that I recently spoke to a guy at a party briefly and he must have written it and not told me he was a reporter when we spoke. So there you go, guys. I know a lot of you saw that story and we're talking about it, and we're also wondering why we didn't cover it on our website. That is the reason why. So again, don't believe everything you read. Hashtag fake news alert. And on that note, I do think it's fine to publish things that you overhear people saying at events. I don't think that's the issue, but I do think it needs to be presented as that and not as if Timothy. Like just the way that they wrote this made it sound like he had sat down and done an exclusive interview with Yahoo, which was just not the case. Oh my god, I'm speaking of fake news. Another outl printing absolute rubbish's the Daily Mail. No surprises there though. So back in June, they wrote an exclusive Quotation Marks story claiming to reveal which Married at First Site cast members had been invited to the TV Week Logi Awards. Now again, I'm sorry if this is a bit boring for you, but I do need to read it out because it's weirdly written and it'll make sense after So the story read exclusive Married at First Site cast livid after being snubbed from the logis while select favorite scored an invite. See who made the cut. The Logis are considered the Australian TV Industries night of nights, but despite Married at First Sight being nominated for an award, some leading cast members are livid they haven't been invited to attend this year's ceremony. More than half of Season eleven's brides and grooms won't be walking the Red carpet at the Sydney Ceremony on the eighteenth of August. Daily Mail understands that several cast members have been begging their managers and agents for an invite ahead of the main event. With twenty four participants appearing on the show this year, it is expected that only a handful will be invited. Juna limited invites secured by the network. Jade Piewell and Ridge Burrita are hotly tip to represent the show, alongside experts Mel Shilling, John Aiken and Alessandra Rampohla. Despite going strong, Jack Dunkley and Tory Adams are unlikely to receive an invite following their controversial stint on the show. Breakout Stars Listin de Light and Tristan Black, Lauren Dunn and Eden Harper are also more than likely to score invites should Channel nine be feeling generous. Sarah Mezzer, Cassandra Allen, Timothy Smith will be considered according to an insider, and I wonder who that insider is or if they exist, the article continued. Despite being fan favorites on the show, Tim Corwell, Andrea Thompson and Mike Felix sadly didn't make the invite list. Meanwhile, Jaden End, Ben Walters, Richard Salman, Natalie Parham Collins, Christian Madeleine Maxwell, ASHKELARTI. Basically everyone else will not be in attendance. It's unclear if Jonathan McCollough and Ellie Dix will be an attendant. As of today, and this was written on the twenty seventh of June, none of this year's cast members had received any invites yet, despite some boasting that they had secured an invite to the highly coveted event, one insider told Daily Mail Australia, no one has any clue what's going on. The casts are pretty in the dark about it now. Firstly, I don't know how this can be labeled as an exclusive one no exclusive info, just the creepy pap who wrote it literally just speculating about who they think will be attending. Secondly, they don't actually decide who'll be attending the low gis for Maths until about a month before the event. The last two years the contestants have been given about four weeks notice, so they wouldn't have known who was going at this point. And thirdly, no one is livid that selected favorite scored an invite because Sodramatic can exclusively reveal that no one scored an invite one source, a real source dells so dramatic. Channel nine have decided not to invite any of the Maps cast this year. They didn't want the headache of it all. Given the drama that went down last year with some of the cast feuding, it really overshadowed the night and cheap in the event, it was a bad look for the network. Executives have made it clear that they don't want petty Maps drama to be the focus of the night and take away from their other talent on the network. Not only that, but considering who to invite became a bit of a mind given how many of the cast are still feuding. The only couples still together to represent the franchise a Jack and Tory, who would never be invited given the public backlash towards them and Jaden Bridge, and even recent claims made about Ridge have meant that the network wants to distance itself from him too. Timothy and Lucinda aren't even friends, so that would have made for some awkward red carpet moments that nine simply doesn't want to draw attention to plus Timothy has been blacklisted by nine for his comments about their darling Karl Stefanovic's brother Peter regarding his Sky News interview with indigenous fishermen. Keegan Payne, Sarah and Lauren aren't friendly with most of the cast, especially the other women, so things could have gotten ugly there too and been a repeat of last year. They also didn't want to repeat of their antics at the Nova Dinner. They want to avoid any trashy Mas drama, overshadowing the big night and taking the spotlight away from other talent. The whole thing is just too risky and difficult to manage now. A second source told So Dramatic that the mass cast being snubbed from the glamorous event was also due to a staffing issue within the network. They explained, at the moment, most of the Channel nine publicity team a busy working around the clock on the Olympic Games. They simply don't have enough resources to organize the logistics of ten maths participants attending the logis before or during. They are essentially short staffed this year. That makes a lot of sense. Actually, imagine having to organize these people, like get them ready before work out what they're doing then manage them on the night. I actually really believe that that it is a possibly a staffing issue, but either way, I would be fuming if I was a Maths contestant this year. This is the biggest show on TV and none of them have been invited to TV's biggest night of nights. Talk about being used and abused, so dramatic with.
00:23:38
Speaker 3: Meghan casetto everybody, so scandalous.
00:23:51
Speaker 1: Detective megapushs back on the case again this week, getting to the bottom of Farmer Andrew and Claire's canceled wedding debacle. Because something seems a little fishy, so just to recap quickly. During last year's season of Farmont's Wife fan favorites, Claire and Andrew opted to leave the show early to embark on their romance away from the cameras. Claire soon moved to Andrew's farm in Narramaia, New South Wales, and in March they announced that they were engaged. Then earlier this month, on July eighth, Claire shocked fans when she announced on her Instagram's story that their upcoming wedding had been canceled. She wrote, my dogs and I have headed north to Darwin to work for the dry season. Andrew and I have had to cancel our wedding due to reasons out of our control, but we are both okay. I'm not sure what else to say, other than sometimes life is hard and we all just need a little breathing space. There will be no farming content from me for the foreseeable future. Now. This came as a shock to many, given that Claire had been regularly updating fans on their big day by sharing behind the scenes content of the wedding preparations. In fact, just weeks before this announcement, she revealed to fans that she had chosen her wedding dress. Now, whilst Claire didn't explicitly say that her and Andrew have called it quits, fans did notice that she had quietly removed their engagement announcement from her Instagram feed. However, they are still following each other at the time of recording, which is a good sign.
00:25:06
Speaker 3: Now.
00:25:06
Speaker 1: One wedding guest, who says that they have been Andrew's best mate for twenty years, told so dramatic. It's postponed, not canceled. Do your research as to why, and you will all understand why they've made that decision. It has nothing to do with anything mentioned in the article. Just to note, the article was a Yahoo's story which was speculating about why they had split, and the article did say canceled, yes, but I think that was only because Claire had said canceled in her post. I don't actually think that was Yahoo's fault, if I'm being completely honest, because we also interpreted that way. We actually just quoted what she said. Wedding is canceled. That's just what she said.
00:25:41
Speaker 3: Now.
00:25:41
Speaker 1: The friend of Andrews then told so dramatic. I spoke with him yesterday and can you all just be mindful, yes, that his father is not well and I read some of the articles. Both him and her are just everyday people thrust into the spotlight after farml It's a wife as a maid of his. It was upsetting just talking to him. So can you all just give them a chance to try and get some normality in their lives and their relationship. Gosh, that is so sad to hear. So he has said that the reason they've canceled their wedding for the time being. I guess Clash probably misworded her post and if it's not being canceled, I think she probably should have said postponed. Might have just been a little oversight, and yes everyone has probably read into it. Words are powerful, but very upsetting to hear that Andrew's father is not well, so wishing him a speedy recovery and hoping that all is good now. One of Claire's best friends, who is also on the wedding guest list, told so dramatic they are still together. They haven't broken up. They are just taking a break and taking a bit of a breather because they have some family stuff going on. A family member is unwell, so Andrew has been focusing on that and it's been really stressful. Claire is staying with friends up in Darwin while Andrew is back on the farm helping out his family. They just needed some time apart. Neither of them are dating or seeing other people. They are technically still together and have been in contact. There was no cheating, and it's not because Claire can't handle farm life. The wedding has been canceled for now, but the door is still open for them and they are both holding out hope they can fix things and make it work. But understandably, Claire has been pretty upset by the turn of events, as it was Andrew's decision to call the wedding off for now.
00:27:12
Speaker 2: Hi.
00:27:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sounds like there is a lot going on for them, and hoping that they can work through it because they do seem like they make an amazing couple. Now. Since our initial announcement, Claire has made a number of comments on social media regarding the cancelation of her wedding. One person wrote, I really hope you and Andrew can work through things. You're such a beautiful couple and life is so short. Claire replied saying thank you. We are both okay, and I'm only in Darwin for a couple of months, heading back to the farm after the racing carnival finishes. Another person said, wow, you can do anything. Hope you and Andrew can sort things out. Claire said, thanks, we are okay. I'm only in Darwin for the dry season. Another person asked is it true that you and Andrew were not together, and Claire responded saying we are okay. The media has taken things completely out of context. We have family stresses and as a result of that we have canceled our wedding to that stress, we both needed some time to just be so I've taken a job in Darwin for a couple of months and then I'll head back to the farm. I've spent a lot of time in Darwin, so it's like a second home here. Another person wrote, just go for your life, Claire. Life is too unpredictable and short to waste a single day sending love from the seaside in Tasmania, and Claire applied to that saying thank you. It most definitely is so there you go straight from the horse's mouth and seems to correlate with the intel that we have also been given now. Claire also posted a story cheersing Beers with her farm or It's wife co star, and also a sodramatic guest Lucy Gilmore, which she captured territory time with my sister wife, Lucy Jane Gilmore. So I'm guessing Lucy is the friend that she's staying with in Darwin. Well, possibly she has more friends up there now. On July sixteen, Claire also shared a cryptic quote to her Instagram story which read effort matters. Not sure if that is related at all, but it could be a telling sign, and she also took to Instagram to slam false reports that had been circulating about their breakup. She wrote on her Instagram story at New Idea magazine not have the right to publish anything about Andrew or myself. Do not believe everything you read in these magazines because it's not factual. We are both boring and it's well and truly time to move on. It was quiet at the mine where I work, so I'll say it again for the twentieth time. I'm up here working for the dry season, helping out my longtime friend. My horses and all my belongings are at the farm, so I have not moved out.

00:00:29
Speaker 1: From reality TV to real life. It's all just so dramatic. It is a meeting Pisteto, What up Drama Army. Welcome to another episode of So Dramatic, your number one destination for all of the latest, hottest and most exclusive reality TV goss I'm your host, Meeghan Pistetto, and I have a super juicy tea Tuesday episode for you guys today. It has been a while. It's good to be back. So I have been on a bit of our hiatus with tea Tuesdays, basically just because I've been sick. I've been cooked and busy with interviews and other traumas. But we are back to regular programming and it only means that today's tea has been brewing for extra lum So that's extra hot for you guys. Now, just some quick housekeeping before we get into things. So last week I dropped two So Dramatic Extra episodes that were extra juicy as the name suggests, and yesterday I also gave you guys a little treat by making a recent extra episode public for everyone. That episode was titled my personal opinion about Dominica Calaco's return to social media and elading podcast drama, and the reason I made that episode public was because a lot of you thought that it was one that needed to be heard by the masses more people. So thank you to all of the VIP, Patreon and Apple subscription members who not only allowed that but encouraged it and were so generous in letting other people listen to it as well. So you can thank them and also get a little taste for the content that usually goes on So Dramatic Extra. And if anyone has a problem with me telling it how it is and calling hout shitty behavior of those with or without mental health problems, I want to cancel me over it, Well be my guest. I am desperate for a holiday. Anyway, One more thing before we get into today's episode, I have a bit of an exciting announcement to make little milestone we need to mark. So Saturday mark four years of so dramatic, not bad for a want to be pathetic and journalist with no talent. I just cannot believe that it's been four years of doing this podcast. Someone said, can I do another four years? And I'm just honestly exhausted thinking about that. I'm exhausted even not thinking about that. But yes, I started this podcast four years ago during COVID just as a little hobby to keep me busy, and it really turned into something I could have never imagined and now I'm kind of stuck with so I just wanted to share my appreciation for all of you guys who listen, send in tea, defend me against the trolls, or just support me in general. Like I've said before, it is a group assignment and I'm so grateful for all of you. And it has been a wild ride the last four years. I think I need to do like a recap of the craziest moments, although I'm not sure if I want to go back and relive that trauma and be that is going to take aim very long time because there's been quite a few. But anyway, thank you guys. You are the fucking best, and thank you for making so dramatic what it is today anyway, Here's to another four years hopefully of spilling tea and drama and not being fully canceled. And on that note, coming up today, Married at First sits Lauren Dunn has been spotted on a date with a new man. Has Farmer Tom moved on with another lady from his farm? All the signs pointing to Farmer Joe and Sarah's shock breakup Amby Chatfield throw shade at an ex MAPS bride Jessica Power has sparked split rumors from her UK Djbay Brent Anthony. Even more problematic comments from Married at First Sight Ellen Ding's recent hashtag girl boss event have surfaced, debunking all the rumors about Married at First Site twenty twenty five, which MAP stars have scored an invite to this year's logis, and the truth about Farmer Andrew and Claire's canceled wedding, plus lots more so much drama, so little time. Let's get into the show.
00:03:56
Speaker 3: Last person, we can tell things to do.
00:03:58
Speaker 2: You want to know something.
00:04:01
Speaker 3: So juicy?
00:04:04
Speaker 1: Let's start, as always with our reality TV sightings of the week. XO XO spotted Married at First Sight bride Lauren Dunn on a date with a mystery man hashtag new man who this one of my many spies sends us this, hey gal, I was out for dinner in Perth the other night and I saw Lauren from Maps on a date with a guy. No idea who he was. I don't think he's anyone famous, not that I know of, anyway, but he was pretty good looking and tall. I didn't see them kiss or anything, but they looked pretty into each other. They were chatting and laughing all night, and when they left together, he had his arm around her, so it deaths looks more like a friend's situation. Sorry, no picks, didn't want to embarrass myself. I'll forgive you this one time. Sounds like Lauren might be off the market. Good for her now. This comes after she recently hinted that she does have a new man in her life. So during an Instagram Q and a earlier this month, she was asked if she was dating anyone at the moment, and she replied saying, the person I want to date has made it very clear that he has zero interest in being the spotlight, and I have to respect his decision. So at the moment, I'm just having fun. She also mentioned this mystery man during another Q and A back in May, saying there's one particular person on my mind, but I'm going to be fairly cagy with any future relationships. And if anyone out there knows who the lucky mystery guy is, please slide into my DMS excel excel Spotted farmer wants a wife's farmer Tom hanging out with one of his ladies, Angela hashtag fancy seeing you here. So Angela was Tom's mum's choice on the farm, and if you don't remember her that way, you might remember her as the one who screamed in the barn because her white shoes got dirty and then quit halfway through her first day hashtag debr antics. So she posted a photo with Tom to her story earlier this month, and in the photo they were posing with their arms around each other, so they looked pretty chummy. I will pop the photo up on Patreon if you want to take a look. But could this be another farm recoupling or are they just friends catching up? If it is a recoupling, hopefully Angela has listened to my chat with Tom's final two Chrissy and Sarah and proceeds with caution Episode four hundred for the tea on that. EXCELXL, speaking of farmer wants a wife spotted Sarah removing all traces of boyfriend farmer Joe from her Instagram hashtag social media extermination. One of my many spies sends us this, a farmer Joe and Sarah are still together. They still follow each other, but it looks like she's deleted all traces of him from her grid and removed Snowy Mountain from her bio. Now, in social media speak, this is never a good sign. I did reach out to Sarah and Joe for comment, but at the time of recording, they had not responded, So I guess we'll have to watch this space for a breakup announcement all possibly a loved up selfie. Let's hope it's the latter. EXCELXL, speaking of breakups, spotted it looks like there might be trouble brewing in Paradise for Married at First Sight by Jessica Power and her UK DJ boyfriend Brent Anthony hashtag breakup season. One of my many spies sends us this, It looks like Jessica Power and her boyfriend Brent have split. They have both removed all photos of each other from Instagram and have unfollowed each other. She's also moved back to England and posted in her stories asking if anyone could help her get her dog back to Manchester in the UK from France, and I thought it was a bit odd. Then a few hours later all the photos of them were gone and we all know what that means. However, a few days later, another spy sent me this. Jessica and Brent stopped following each other and deleted all posts. But now they are back to following each other. Not sure what's going on. He also posted a photo of them together and niece for the day. Maybe she's just gone back to get her dog. Interesting now. Over the weekend, Jessica shened Instagram's story with two guy mates and she tagged Brent in the post as well. So maybe they've managed to patch things up. Maybe she's just gone to get her dog and they're still on friendly terms. Who knows. I suggest we keep our eyes and ears peeled for more updates. Excel Excel spotted Avid Chatfield throwing shade at ex boyfriend and bachelorette star Conrad b and Stevens hashtag shots fired. So Abby made a not so subtle dear get her former Bay by sharing a meme to her story which read, ask your boyfriend to break gender norms by cleaning the toilet and doing the cooking instead of wearing nail polish. Now, Conrad has famously worn nail polish since his time on the show. He even painted brook Blowden's nails during one of their dates, and when he was with Abby he would regularly post pictures of himself at the nail salon. Basically it was like his signature thing. So I'm pretty sure this is directed at Conrad, unless some of her other ex's also wore nail polish and it's got a broader meaning to her. Either way, I'm living for the shade, and I'm not talking about the color of Conrad's polish. Excellent excell. Just a quick warning, this next story contains uneducated comments that may cause you to lose brain cells. Please listen with caution. Spotted Married at First Sight bride Ella Ding being a keynote speaker at an influencer event for fast fashion label Pretty Little Thing, which was titled Becoming a Girl Boss hashtag cheap and nasty. One of my many spies sends us this. So I was at this influencer event for Pretty Little Thing last week and Ella was a keynote speaker. She told the audience that she used to run a call center in Asia where she overworked and underpaid her employees. She said she opened it up herself when she was in her early twenties in the Philippines. She said that that was where she learned the importance of hustle culture. She was boasting about how she underpaid and overworked her staff, who worked twelve hour days, seven days a week, but basically nothing. She was really proud of how she profited off cheap labor and used it as an inspiring example of how we all need to hustle more and it is giving Kim Kardashian when she.
00:09:30
Speaker 2: Said, get your fucking ass up and work.
00:09:32
Speaker 1: They continued. She proudly told these young girls about how she had basically failed high school and then switched between odd jobs, but said it worked out for her now because she's living her best life as an influencer for some amazing fashion brands like Pretty Little Thing aka an amazing fashion brand that exploits their workers as well. I guess birds of a feather really do flock together. Now, for those who aren't aware, A Pretty Little Thing is a fast fashion brand that has been accused of not only underpaying their workers and abusing their rights, not ethically sourcing materials, evading taxes, and they also received a worse rating for their environmental impact. Now the corporate girlie, who was in the crowd, our little tea spiller continued, she had no idea how problematic it sounded. She boasted about it as if it was some big achievement to be proud of. She is seriously so uneducated. Whenever I hear these stories about domin Ella, I honestly think it's like a satire spoof for influencers. It is giving Chris Lily, they continued. She comes across as very problematic and self absorbed. She also told the audience that Joe Rogan is her hero fucking girl, which is such a wild comment to make when her and Dom have positioned themselves as feminists. She also gave some tips for anyone wanting to go on reality TV, saying that if you go on, it needs to be for the right reasons, not to become famous, ought to become an influencer. She said that she truly went on Maths to find love and had no plans to do Instagram influencing or social media. Well Our Corporate Girley continued. She said she was so heartbroken after Maths and none of that was on her agenda, but then a talent agency reached out to represent her. She said even then she still didn't want to do any of that. She thinks her TikTok account is terrible and she doesn't get it or understand the algorithm. She feels out of date. She also said, I'm always asking for feedback. I think that's important with any job. If you want to get better, ask for feedback. Now that is really interesting. Even at any time she does get feedback, she does not take it on board. She just doubles down and blames others. Our Corporate GIRLI, who is definitely getting an A plus this semester for this note taking continued. She also said you need to be resilient and not have any pre existing mental health conditions like anxiety. She said she never had anxiety before MAPS, but has it now. She also told the audience she's big on manifestation and even watched YouTube videos about it when she was younger. One manifestation guru inspired her to get a tattoo on it inspired her to get a tattoo on her shoulder that reads what you imagine, you create, what you think, you become, what you feel you attract. Oh God, say no more. I mean, I don't know what's more shocking Ella flexing about overworking and underpaying her employees, or saying that she loves feedback, or even just the fact that she was chosen to be a keynote speaker and giving advice to young women, probably the latter, to be honest, No, actually all of the above. You know what, this has reminded me of some really dumb stuff that Ella said to me in the past. I'm not gonna put it on here because their stands will come for me and it was a private confo. But I will put it on so dramatic extra this Friday. It is actually quite funny. Also, the term hashtag girl boss is very funny to me, to be blunt, I hate it. It is such an anti feminist term because we would never call a guy a hashtag boy boss, like he would just be impossed. I don't know. I just think girl boss feminism is, like it's, from what I understand, essentially built on the idea that women can free themselves from the patriarchy by achieving financial success alone, which is simply not true. Dismantling unequal power structures in society requires a little bit more than just pay equality. But understanding that might be a little bit out of Ella's wheelhouse. We'll just leave Ella to bask in her first wave feminism glory over at the Pretty Little Thing Warehouse now. I also just want to suggest, guys that you read an amazing feature from news dot com today us James Weir, because he also attended the hashtag girl Boss event and wrote a brilliant story about it with even more problematic things that Ella said. It is definitely worth a read.
00:13:17
Speaker 3: Excellxcel so dramatic with Meghan fisetto.
00:13:24
Speaker 1: All right, some quick updates before we get into the juice. So a few episodes ago, we had a spice end in their sighting of some couples on their honeymoon being filmed in Vanowatu for an upcoming show. They did think that it was married at first sight, but I didn't think it was because the timing didn't match up, so I said that it might have been the new show Stranded on Honeymoon Island. However, someone wrote in after this and said, Hey, Megan, I think it could have been Math's New Zealand that you're spotted was about in episode three hundred and ninety five. I believe both the weddings and honeymoons were filmed in Vanawatu. Good to know now. I've also been given the exclusive info that Stranded on Honeymoon Island was filmed in Fiji. They go, it's all starting to make sense now and it must have been married at first sight in New Zealand. Good to know, and our original spy you were correct after all. Kind of oh my god. A quick update or married at first sits Jaden Enter's dating life, if anyone out there cares so. In recent months, So Dramatic has revealed that Jaden appears to be dating a brunette woman who he was pictured making out with at a club whilst he was still dating Eden. Things ought to be getting series between them when they were spotted for a second time walking arm in arm along the promenade at Burley Beach shortly after. However, following this tea, another spy wrote in to throw a bit of a spanner in the works, saying they know of another girl that Jayden has been dating. A dished I know a girl who has been sleeping with Jaden. She's blonde, so it's not the one you've been told about. They've been sleeping together since February. When I last spoke to her in May, they were still together. Ooh la la. Now this is interesting because Eden has confirmed to So Dramatic that her and Jaden was still very much together in February, and they even spent Valentine's Date together, So it sounds like there are a few crossovers happening on Jaden's timeline. Oh my god, I'm gonna all right, let's get into the juice. So, whilst we are all still trying to recover from the carnage of the latest season, have married at first sight. The twenty twenty five season is already upon us. So last week, Yaho Lifestyle reported that not only had the twenty twenty five cast been confirmed, but filming would be commencing later this month. Asaurce told the outlet that the maps twenty twenty five Bucks and Hens parties will kick off at the end of July, and then the highly anticipated weddings will be filmed on the Gold Coast after that. Now, lucky you guys have me, because I can confirm that this is actually fake news. So Dramatic can reveal that filming for Maps twenty twenty five has already begun. The infamous Bucks and Hens nights were actually filmed last week, So don't believe everything you read on your Who Lifestyle unless it's stories they have copied word for word from So Dramatic and try to pass off as their own hashtag exclusive. Now, so far two brides have been revealed, re a fitness influencer from Melbourne and Sierra, a former Bachelor contestant. And if anyone knows anyone else on the next season, please slide into my dms aap oh. Speaking of fake news from Yahoo Lifestyle, they recently published a story titled Exclusive Timothy exposes the reason behind his feud with Lucinda Eight Chances were enough. The story read. Speaking exclusively with Yahoo Lifestyle, tim reveals that his relationship with Lisinda came to an end because of their different lifestyles, and approaches to friendship. He says he hoped their friendship would evolve after the show finish, but away from the cameras, he noticed Liscinda was a little different to who he had been married to during filming. The cameras do that to people, he says, Listender may have buckled under the pressure with so many people wanting a piece of her, The article continued, and bear with me, there is a point for me reading this out. The business owner adds that he didn't want to walk away easily from the friendship, but felt like eight chances was enough. When asked if he's jealous of Lacinda's enormous success after the show, Tim asserted that he isn't and hope she will continue to find even more success in her new adventures. However, he says he didn't want to be a pawn in the storylines, that he started to feel uncomfortable with hearing bits and pieces that were untrue, stuff that was twisted. That has been disappointing. He continued. I think some people, and I'm not just saying Lacinda, but some people have let this spot of notoriety go to their head, and I don't want to go down that path. The show is over. I had a good time, but I really want to go back to my normal life and be me again without the lens of that TV show. People have become their characters, and that is a dangerous path to go down. You can lose yourself. The article then said, A close friend of the pair tells Y'aho Lifestyle that Tim ended their friendship after hearing Lacinda had been gossiping about him. The source remarked could have been more relatable. Friendship in the real world ends over disloyalty, and no one likes to hear their best mate has been gossiping about them. Tim was hearing things that Lascinda was saying about him behind his back, which kept on happening. Tim tells yah Who Lifestyle that when it comes to friendship, he sees himself as a loyal person and expects the same in return. He declares, the fact of the matter is that if you have a problem with me, or you find yourself talking about me in a way you know I would appreciate, then that is not a good friend. I don't want to be a bad guy. I don't want to slag anyone, but we are both now moving in different circles with different priorities. Now, when I read this, I kind of got the feeling that something was off. And I was also shocked that Tim had done an interview, because he did say to me privately that he didn't want to do an interview. So I gave him a call and he said, they just made that up. Half of that is bullshit. I never spoke to Yahoo Lifestyle and I definitely didn't do an interview with them. I have said parts of that to people, but not all of it, and the parts I have said have been taken out of context. The only explanation I have is that I recently spoke to a guy at a party briefly and he must have written it and not told me he was a reporter when we spoke. So there you go, guys. I know a lot of you saw that story and we're talking about it, and we're also wondering why we didn't cover it on our website. That is the reason why. So again, don't believe everything you read. Hashtag fake news alert. And on that note, I do think it's fine to publish things that you overhear people saying at events. I don't think that's the issue, but I do think it needs to be presented as that and not as if Timothy. Like just the way that they wrote this made it sound like he had sat down and done an exclusive interview with Yahoo, which was just not the case. Oh my god, I'm speaking of fake news. Another outl printing absolute rubbish's the Daily Mail. No surprises there though. So back in June, they wrote an exclusive Quotation Marks story claiming to reveal which Married at First Site cast members had been invited to the TV Week Logi Awards. Now again, I'm sorry if this is a bit boring for you, but I do need to read it out because it's weirdly written and it'll make sense after So the story read exclusive Married at First Site cast livid after being snubbed from the logis while select favorite scored an invite. See who made the cut. The Logis are considered the Australian TV Industries night of nights, but despite Married at First Sight being nominated for an award, some leading cast members are livid they haven't been invited to attend this year's ceremony. More than half of Season eleven's brides and grooms won't be walking the Red carpet at the Sydney Ceremony on the eighteenth of August. Daily Mail understands that several cast members have been begging their managers and agents for an invite ahead of the main event. With twenty four participants appearing on the show this year, it is expected that only a handful will be invited. Juna limited invites secured by the network. Jade Piewell and Ridge Burrita are hotly tip to represent the show, alongside experts Mel Shilling, John Aiken and Alessandra Rampohla. Despite going strong, Jack Dunkley and Tory Adams are unlikely to receive an invite following their controversial stint on the show. Breakout Stars Listin de Light and Tristan Black, Lauren Dunn and Eden Harper are also more than likely to score invites should Channel nine be feeling generous. Sarah Mezzer, Cassandra Allen, Timothy Smith will be considered according to an insider, and I wonder who that insider is or if they exist, the article continued. Despite being fan favorites on the show, Tim Corwell, Andrea Thompson and Mike Felix sadly didn't make the invite list. Meanwhile, Jaden End, Ben Walters, Richard Salman, Natalie Parham Collins, Christian Madeleine Maxwell, ASHKELARTI. Basically everyone else will not be in attendance. It's unclear if Jonathan McCollough and Ellie Dix will be an attendant. As of today, and this was written on the twenty seventh of June, none of this year's cast members had received any invites yet, despite some boasting that they had secured an invite to the highly coveted event, one insider told Daily Mail Australia, no one has any clue what's going on. The casts are pretty in the dark about it now. Firstly, I don't know how this can be labeled as an exclusive one no exclusive info, just the creepy pap who wrote it literally just speculating about who they think will be attending. Secondly, they don't actually decide who'll be attending the low gis for Maths until about a month before the event. The last two years the contestants have been given about four weeks notice, so they wouldn't have known who was going at this point. And thirdly, no one is livid that selected favorite scored an invite because Sodramatic can exclusively reveal that no one scored an invite one source, a real source dells so dramatic. Channel nine have decided not to invite any of the Maps cast this year. They didn't want the headache of it all. Given the drama that went down last year with some of the cast feuding, it really overshadowed the night and cheap in the event, it was a bad look for the network. Executives have made it clear that they don't want petty Maps drama to be the focus of the night and take away from their other talent on the network. Not only that, but considering who to invite became a bit of a mind given how many of the cast are still feuding. The only couples still together to represent the franchise a Jack and Tory, who would never be invited given the public backlash towards them and Jaden Bridge, and even recent claims made about Ridge have meant that the network wants to distance itself from him too. Timothy and Lucinda aren't even friends, so that would have made for some awkward red carpet moments that nine simply doesn't want to draw attention to plus Timothy has been blacklisted by nine for his comments about their darling Karl Stefanovic's brother Peter regarding his Sky News interview with indigenous fishermen. Keegan Payne, Sarah and Lauren aren't friendly with most of the cast, especially the other women, so things could have gotten ugly there too and been a repeat of last year. They also didn't want to repeat of their antics at the Nova Dinner. They want to avoid any trashy Mas drama, overshadowing the big night and taking the spotlight away from other talent. The whole thing is just too risky and difficult to manage now. A second source told So Dramatic that the mass cast being snubbed from the glamorous event was also due to a staffing issue within the network. They explained, at the moment, most of the Channel nine publicity team a busy working around the clock on the Olympic Games. They simply don't have enough resources to organize the logistics of ten maths participants attending the logis before or during. They are essentially short staffed this year. That makes a lot of sense. Actually, imagine having to organize these people, like get them ready before work out what they're doing then manage them on the night. I actually really believe that that it is a possibly a staffing issue, but either way, I would be fuming if I was a Maths contestant this year. This is the biggest show on TV and none of them have been invited to TV's biggest night of nights. Talk about being used and abused, so dramatic with.
00:23:38
Speaker 3: Meghan casetto everybody, so scandalous.
00:23:51
Speaker 1: Detective megapushs back on the case again this week, getting to the bottom of Farmer Andrew and Claire's canceled wedding debacle. Because something seems a little fishy, so just to recap quickly. During last year's season of Farmont's Wife fan favorites, Claire and Andrew opted to leave the show early to embark on their romance away from the cameras. Claire soon moved to Andrew's farm in Narramaia, New South Wales, and in March they announced that they were engaged. Then earlier this month, on July eighth, Claire shocked fans when she announced on her Instagram's story that their upcoming wedding had been canceled. She wrote, my dogs and I have headed north to Darwin to work for the dry season. Andrew and I have had to cancel our wedding due to reasons out of our control, but we are both okay. I'm not sure what else to say, other than sometimes life is hard and we all just need a little breathing space. There will be no farming content from me for the foreseeable future. Now. This came as a shock to many, given that Claire had been regularly updating fans on their big day by sharing behind the scenes content of the wedding preparations. In fact, just weeks before this announcement, she revealed to fans that she had chosen her wedding dress. Now, whilst Claire didn't explicitly say that her and Andrew have called it quits, fans did notice that she had quietly removed their engagement announcement from her Instagram feed. However, they are still following each other at the time of recording, which is a good sign.
00:25:06
Speaker 3: Now.
00:25:06
Speaker 1: One wedding guest, who says that they have been Andrew's best mate for twenty years, told so dramatic. It's postponed, not canceled. Do your research as to why, and you will all understand why they've made that decision. It has nothing to do with anything mentioned in the article. Just to note, the article was a Yahoo's story which was speculating about why they had split, and the article did say canceled, yes, but I think that was only because Claire had said canceled in her post. I don't actually think that was Yahoo's fault, if I'm being completely honest, because we also interpreted that way. We actually just quoted what she said. Wedding is canceled. That's just what she said.
00:25:41
Speaker 3: Now.
00:25:41
Speaker 1: The friend of Andrews then told so dramatic. I spoke with him yesterday and can you all just be mindful, yes, that his father is not well and I read some of the articles. Both him and her are just everyday people thrust into the spotlight after farml It's a wife as a maid of his. It was upsetting just talking to him. So can you all just give them a chance to try and get some normality in their lives and their relationship. Gosh, that is so sad to hear. So he has said that the reason they've canceled their wedding for the time being. I guess Clash probably misworded her post and if it's not being canceled, I think she probably should have said postponed. Might have just been a little oversight, and yes everyone has probably read into it. Words are powerful, but very upsetting to hear that Andrew's father is not well, so wishing him a speedy recovery and hoping that all is good now. One of Claire's best friends, who is also on the wedding guest list, told so dramatic they are still together. They haven't broken up. They are just taking a break and taking a bit of a breather because they have some family stuff going on. A family member is unwell, so Andrew has been focusing on that and it's been really stressful. Claire is staying with friends up in Darwin while Andrew is back on the farm helping out his family. They just needed some time apart. Neither of them are dating or seeing other people. They are technically still together and have been in contact. There was no cheating, and it's not because Claire can't handle farm life. The wedding has been canceled for now, but the door is still open for them and they are both holding out hope they can fix things and make it work. But understandably, Claire has been pretty upset by the turn of events, as it was Andrew's decision to call the wedding off for now.
00:27:12
Speaker 2: Hi.
00:27:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sounds like there is a lot going on for them, and hoping that they can work through it because they do seem like they make an amazing couple. Now. Since our initial announcement, Claire has made a number of comments on social media regarding the cancelation of her wedding. One person wrote, I really hope you and Andrew can work through things. You're such a beautiful couple and life is so short. Claire replied saying thank you. We are both okay, and I'm only in Darwin for a couple of months, heading back to the farm after the racing carnival finishes. Another person said, wow, you can do anything. Hope you and Andrew can sort things out. Claire said, thanks, we are okay. I'm only in Darwin for the dry season. Another person asked is it true that you and Andrew were not together, and Claire responded saying we are okay. The media has taken things completely out of context. We have family stresses and as a result of that we have canceled our wedding to that stress, we both needed some time to just be so I've taken a job in Darwin for a couple of months and then I'll head back to the farm. I've spent a lot of time in Darwin, so it's like a second home here. Another person wrote, just go for your life, Claire. Life is too unpredictable and short to waste a single day sending love from the seaside in Tasmania, and Claire applied to that saying thank you. It most definitely is so there you go straight from the horse's mouth and seems to correlate with the intel that we have also been given now. Claire also posted a story cheersing Beers with her farm or It's wife co star, and also a sodramatic guest Lucy Gilmore, which she captured territory time with my sister wife, Lucy Jane Gilmore. So I'm guessing Lucy is the friend that she's staying with in Darwin. Well, possibly she has more friends up there now. On July sixteen, Claire also shared a cryptic quote to her Instagram story which read effort matters. Not sure if that is related at all, but it could be a telling sign, and she also took to Instagram to slam false reports that had been circulating about their breakup. She wrote on her Instagram story at New Idea magazine not have the right to publish anything about Andrew or myself. Do not believe everything you read in these magazines because it's not factual. We are both boring and it's well and truly time to move on. It was quiet at the mine where I work, so I'll say it again for the twentieth time. I'm up here working for the dry season, helping out my longtime friend. My horses and all my belongings are at the farm, so I have not moved out. I took my dogs because they are my kids and I wouldn't leave them for longer than a week. God, it sounds like there's more fake news circulating in the reality TV world than in the current US election, which is really saying a lot warning.
