The Viral Henne Cardigan

any confirmation yet from Molly May. She has remained silent on this topic, but that hasn't stopped the rumor meal from going into absolute overdrive. We are swimming in a lot of rumors on the internet at the moment. The one gaining the most traction is the rumor that Tommy cheated on Molly during an alcohol field lad's holiday to North Macedonia with a Danish girl. Well, this was actually printed in the Sun. Yeah. According to the Sun, Tommy was seen kissing a blonde woman in a nightclub during

what they described as a two am vodka binge. Now, this was reportedly just days before Molly May announced their split on Instagram. A source who claims to have witnessed the kiss told the son he was down in gray Goose vodka and didn't seem to care who saw him with the girl he kissed her. This will be heartbreaking

for Molly May. There was also a quote that interested me from Molly's so called friend, and the friend, of course isn't named in this article, but I would not be surprised if her manager, Fran was briefing the press. So the friend was quoted in the newspapers saying Molly was told he had cheated on her with a Danish woman he'd met while he was away in Macedonia. She didn't want to believe it was true. When she confronted him and asked him if he had cheated on her,

Tommy didn't deny it. It told Molly May all she needed to know, and she ended it. He's moved out of the house and she's absolutely reeling from it all. Tommy's management team have also been working hard in the background trying to shoot down some of them rumors. They released a statement saying that he has been left horrified by the false rumors and he's also consulting currently with his lawyers because of these rumors that are being circulated

by the meeting. It's pretty bold of his team to come out and label these allegations as false, because surely there is a woman waiting in the wings, just getting ready to tell her story. Yeah, but when they're talking about false rumors, I think what they're referring to other rumors that we touched on on Friday's episode, and that was in relation to a TikTok rumor that Tommy had

impregnated a boxing coach's daughter. Oh yeah, Now that gained a lot of momentum online and people were harassing the woman, leaving comments saying, tell us that this isn't Tommy Fury's child, and her dad had to come out and say, I couldn't believe what we woke up to. She has a lovely partner. Here's a photo of them together. So I think that his team is saying, look, this rumor is not true. It's been proven to be und true. So you've got to be really careful about what you're going

to post in the future. Yeah, you need to get your source is not from TikTok. Makes right, I met that could be a good start.

on her honeymoon. And it was so cute because her dad rocked up with a bunch of flowers and he has also unfollowed Tommy on Instagram, which sends a strong message from her manager was also there as well as a handful of her other friends and everyone has been waiting to catch the first glimpse of Molly since the breakup, where everyone wants to see if she's doing okay. Yeah, and it didn't disappoint because the paparazzi snapped Molly and her friends in the car at the McDonald's drive through.

Can she be any more relatable? That's the first thing that anyone does when they're going through a breakup. They've got to get in the car with their friends, put on breakup music and get McDonald's like it is the best therapy. I would have loved to know what was on their playlist and what they were discussing. You want to know what they ordered? What about the person who's serving Molly bay though? How awkward? Like tell me everything now.

The paparazzi also snapped photos of Tommy returning home Briefly. He was only there for forty minutes on Friday, but it's believed it's the first time Tommy and Molly have seen each other since they're split, and everyone is talking about what is going to happen to their beautiful six

bedroom mansion. So interestingly, there are reports that, according to the land registry papers, this house, which was bought for three point eight pounds in twenty twenty two, was solely purchased in Molly's name, So this means that Tommy is unlikely to have any financial stake in this property. I am so happy to hear that because you can just tell what a safe haven that home is for Molly. It has her written all over, it is her interior design, so I'm glad it looks like she'll get to keep

that in the split. I'm wondering how that works, because if you're a de facto's in Australia, regardless of if your name is on the paperwork, you still have some claim to the property. I don't know if the rules are different in the UK, but I'm hoping that Molly's

able to keep the house. Now for those who are hoping that maybe Tommy and Molly might be able to work through their issues, is looking more and more unlikely because a large skip has been seen outside the mansion with a suitcase poking out the top of it, and many think that this skip is slowly going to be

filled with Tommy's belongings and that suitcase is his. If a picture doesn't paint a thousand words, I think that she wants the paparazzi to see him having to fish that suitcase out of the skip, because that would be absolutely iconic. It just sends the strong message that he has done something and we're all waiting to unpack what that is. He needs to be put in the bin, doesn't he Yes, I.

how to style it. Now, the cardigan is called Selene, and what makes it stand out is the fact that it's fluffy. So it's made from our packer blend and it comes in a range of different colors. It currently retails for two hundred and twenty nine dollars, which is quite expensive for a cardigan. I mean it is pricey. I don't own the viral Henny cardigan, and I want to put it out there. Please no one come after me. But I know that this is one item of clothing

that my husband would pay me out for wearing. So it's more of like girls get this kind of fashion. Yeah, definitely, this is something that I don't think guys would get. And for the purpose of this podcast, I ask my husband, what is your take on this cardigan? And he said that he thinks I would look like a little kiwi fruit wearing it, which isn't actually that bad, Like, that's kind of cute, a little kiwi fruit with fur on it. I actually think it's quite a cute way to describe it.

But I pushed him even further and he said that it kind of looked like the designer got a glue stick rubbed it all over the cardigan and then someone rolled around in hair. Are you trying to get Brandon canceled? Because people are very passionate about this cardigan. Well, after he gave me his honest review, I told him that women are coming after anyone who speaks badly about this cardigan, and he looked genuinely horrified, and he pleaded with me not to mention his comments. So it looks like a

really cozy cargan. Yeah, it has been touted as this perfect winter staple because it looks very warm, especially if you're living in Melbourne where it's extra cold. Now. This cardigan is currently so hard to get your hands on because it is so hyped up on TikTok.

to get my hands on this cardigan. Yeah, but despite it being out of stock, the Henny marketing team is continuing to drip feed gifted cardigans to micro influencers purely so they'll post about it, creating more hype around this item. Well yeah. I recently saw one TikToker who has four thousand followers, saying that Henny had just dropped her the out of stock cardigan, which then motivated her to create a try on video about it. Here's what she said, I must be in Henny's good books today.

brand is one of those cool girl brands. It's very chic, it's very Melbourne. It was founded by influencer Nadia Bartel in twenty nineteen with her sister, and it has quickly become a cult favorite.

find her content it's like, it's nothing serious, it's just funny. Yeah. I first came across her content when she created a couple of tiktoks about the Witchery rebrand. Here's a snippet of what she said, Why why.

I'm just questioning because I do see it a lot, and I'm just wondering, if you're going to be an influencer and a fashionista, why are you not looking at other brands for cardigans? For example? Like, it's a fucking cardigan. How do you want to wear the same thing as everyone else? Now?

whatever the cool girl is currently wearing on there. It's not a platform that encourages people to be different and stand out, because you get rewarded if you copy other people's fashion trends. It's all about making sure also that you fit this cool girl aesthetic that's being dictated to us. And I think that with the cost of living crisis, we're also being told to look at capsule wardrobes and buy items that we can mix and match with others,

and people are moving away from statement items. I'm always hearing stylist talk on TikTok about this is how you can create a uniform for work or a uniform for the weekend. Even no one has their own style, as you said, anymore, no one wants to stand out from the crowd. There's been so many times I've gone to a cafe and it's the white fox hoodies, like as Kate said, everyone wears. And I think, how embarrassing would

that be if teenage? Yeah, all tenagers. It's kind of like when we were at high school and you'd have casual day. But back when we were high Scott was the billabong jacket and you'd be so embarrassed because you'd rock up and two other people would be wearing the same bang. It would be awful. As an adult, it's really awkward wearing the same thing as someone as well. I went to a wedding recently where I wore this

bright blue dress. It was my sister in law's wedding and one of her friends wore the exact same dress, but we just had to own it. We ended up getting photos together and it was something we could bond over. But I do see the irony of going out to brunch. For some reason, I always envision in Melbourne and there's just a swarm of thirty something women in this fluffy

jumper than Dewey is walking around little Kiwi fruits. Thank god there are different colors though, that might at least make you stand out a little bit.

It's popular for a reason. Now, her video definitely seem to ruffle the feathers of fashion influencers who began sharing their thoughts on her video, But the catch was that they were doing what she described was a dog whistle. So what a dog whistle is is that you don't actually name the person that you're speaking about, but you act as if it's just a general thought about some like a trend that's happening, even though it's clearly one person that you're directing it out. Hate this this happens

all the time. We've had this where people will literally like, they'll be talking about something our podcast has spoken about, but they won't reference the podcast because they know that people will go over to it and agree, Yeah, why no context is what they're saying either because they're like, oh, you know, it doesn't really matter. It was you know, it was some gossip thing. And then and it's like, no, just name it. Own it. You gotta call something out,

name it. The funniest thing is I think that we were actually just dog whistling ourselves then. But I think people will be able to read into it. Will we name and name and shame all the time. We may go into that in a subs episode because we're getting off track now. A fashion influencer called ari Yasman, who has over twenty thousand followers on TikTok, created a video not naming Kate, but saying she doesn't like the current trend of people critiquing viral outfits in a passive aggressive way.

like the Witchery rebrand. Then there's another trend that I don't think I like so much, and that's kind of critiquing individual creators or people for wearing what we don't think are interesting enough outfits, or wearing something that's really viral or really popular. Some of the stuff I've seen recently kind of just seems to be being passive aggressive to people who like wearing things that are popular in

Australia right now. But I feel like, are we not just making women feel bad about themselves for something that's not problematic and not hurting anyone.

a different opinion. Now, there was a very mixed response, as I said in the comment section, and one of the notable responses was from Victoria Devine, who runs the She's on the Money podcast, and she agreed with Ari's sentiment, writing, it's not even being passive aggressive, She's being a bully. I can't believe in twenty twenty four so many people are supportive of her content. Now, a follower reply to Victoria saying, I'm genuinely surprised to see you making this comment.

I followed you for a while now which part is bulling? And I shared the same sentiment as this commenter now, Victoria responded, if you don't see the content I'm referring to as blatant bulling, perhaps you shouldn't follow me. She continued, saying her body shaming and name calling should be glaringly obvious signs of bullying. No, I'm really surprised that Victoria would weigh into this and have this opinion. I mean, she is a friend of the podcast, we have heard

her on the show before. Though maybe she owns a Henny Cardigan and just saw red like I don't know. I do think that the word bulling by the general public, though, has been weaponized in twenty twenty four. I think that people are so quick to label any sort of critical thinking as bulling, and just because someone might critique something or challenge your way of thinking, I don't think that we can categorize that as bulling. I have never seen

Kate body shame anyone. I've consumed a lot of her content, and if anything, she is the one who has been copying a lot of derogatory remarks about her appearance. There's been a lot of young women seeming to take issue with the way that she looks, calling her fat, saying she looks like Hagrid, and she's had a laugh about that, but I can tell that it has actually affected her. It's just so nasty. The whole thing to me seems quite ageist. It's like, how dare you a woman who's

in her fifties have an opinion on fashion? Yeah, that's ultimately what I think it comes down to. You know, in this day and age where everyone's so woke, maybe this content might be surprising to some because it's quite refreshing to see someone actually being satirical. She drops the odd F bomb, she pokes fun. It's very lighthearted. But do any of these Jen Edison have like a sense of humans? Yet? How can people not tell this is a jog and it's not even as you said, it's not.

She hasn't body shamed anyone. It's simply a joke about fashion, but it's also the fact that she is actually very passionate about fashion, and she's just calling out the fact that there's no individuality and she wants people to support smaller brands because a lot of smaller fashion brands are going under now. Kate hit back to the critique, saying this.

is in the fucking toilet. So if you're all wearing Hanny, what about the other nitweb providers.

It's very clever marketing. It's basically an affiliate link, so everything is for sale, that's right. So what happens with the Henny cardigan is an influencer will share their LTK link and it will then direct you to the Henny website. But what a lot of people don't know is that the influencer actually receives a commission for each purchase you make. It can be very lucrative for fashion influencers because they can make anywhere between ten to thirty percent off that

affiliate link. So when it comes to an item like at the Henny cardigan, which is two hundred and twenty nine dollars, they are making twenty two dollars ninety of every cardigan you purchase from their link, So clearly they have an incentive to be pushing that cardigan, to be creating content around that Cardigan and Hennier also very clever to be on LTK because they get access to over two hundred thousand influencers who were signed up to it, and when you search Henny on LTK, you can see

just how many people are collaborating with them, just how many people are building hype over this cardigan. Now, this discovery led Kate to question are the kickbacks the reason so many influencers are pushing this cardigan? Here's what she had to say.

a huge commission of it now. Things really escalated when Kate started receiving prank calls to her house, so she posted a TikTok at one am on a Saturday night saying she hadn't slept because of repeated calls from people abusing her for calling out influences over a cardigan. Here's what she said.

me over the phone about this. So if you think you're standing for Henny, you're actually putting a massive skid mark on it, because now on and my I don't know, NOI sixteen thousand followers probably are going to look at this brand and gone say, well, you kind of aren't pretending to be something that you're not more power than you think by threatening me over the phone, by invading my personal space because I asked an influencer who always talks about fashion to try other brands and then ask

general Australian influencers to try other brands because Australian fashion is in a crisis. You have actually done this brand a disservice because you have made the brand look like main girls. I don't know if they are or aren't.

that you see as lighthearted. For TikTokers are just next level, aren't they. Yeah? I mean I think strolling and the commentary's disgusting. Absolute cesspool of people. Now I want to point out what an absolute class act Nadia Bartel is because following this revelation, she DMed Kate to apologize. She wrote, Hi, Kate, I am reaching out to you because of a few of your tiktoks I've seen. I'm so sorry you have been receiving threatening calls to your home. Neither Henny nor

I support bulling of any form. So Kate shared this DM to her TikTok, saying she told Nadia the tea and they both agreed. Some people in privileged positions should know better what an absolute burn she is sharing this to her TikTok to say that your queen, Nadia Bartell is siding with me. It's just a big fuck you. Basically, I just think that this is a really fantastic pr move by Nadia. She could have blocked Kate or got angry that she was commenting about her brand, but she

rose above her and befriended her. And I think we've seen so many influences in the past take any sort of criticism or feedback badly. They blow up and they don't even take the chance to actually look at what people have said about them. Yeah, here's some free PR advice for influencers. If you get called out, don't go on the attack. Go in there with kindness. Because of anything, Kate has actually pumped up this cardigan even more. She has shown how devoted these Henny fans are. I want

it now exactly. I might have looked at Henny I was like, oh, I don't think the Kiwi cardigan is for me. But she's got some k Selene, Selene, She's got some really amazing bomber jackets and jeans. Nadia just looks cool in anything. I stand that so hard. Did you bring out like a penny plastic bag for freakin two hundred bucks and people would buy it? Or maybe not plastic, maybe paper.

more influencers going for traditional names. Well, Eiler was actually crowned as the most popular girl's name in Queensland in twenty twenty three, and as you said, Amy, it is quite unusual to see influencers go for a name that's very mainstream.

the way. Well, I think that they're pretty normal by today's stand Yeah, it's not like kombucherous because my algorithm is constantly feeding me kids' names and these ones are very popular at the moment. And for boys' names, she also liked Blue, Carter, and Kai. And it was really beautiful because Em selected her baby's middle name as Sue, and that's named after her mum, who sadly passed away.

Some followers were quite intrigued because em had said that no matter what, she wanted, to call the baby's middle name Sue. So people were thinking, well, if you were going to call your boy blue, would it have been blue? Sue sounds like blues clues. Surely she wouldn't have given

the name Sue for a boys, I know now. Her mom did sadly pass away a couple of years ago, and em has spoken in great depth about feeling very connected to her mum during her pregnancy, particularly being pregnant with a baby girl, and she shared a really sweet photo showing a little red birthmark near her daughter's eye and wrote angel kisses from Nanny in the sky, which

was really sweet. Well, m broke the news on Instagram, sharing a carousel of photos of her newborn with the caption thirteen eight twenty four six seven pm Isla Sue Gambon, I've never felt a love like this. We did it, and she tagged her partner Joel Gambon. The post received over eighty eight thousand likes and the Blue Tick Brigade were out in force in the comments section. So Sammy Robinson wrote congratulations, beautiful family. Tammy Hembro added crying She's

so perfect. Love you guys, while Skywheetly commented looks like an actual doll. I'm crying. She is a very beautiful baby. Yeah, she's a gorgeous little girl. And Chloe Zepp, Gracie Piscapo, Indy Clinton, so for dof jar Da Tunci, Tylia Skeaines and Lucy Jackson were also amongst the well known Aussie influencers commenting, I'm assuming Lily Brown did as well, but

she's blow I couldn't see her comment well. I also noticed that Nicky and Lucy took time away from their amazing trip of Mikinos where they are celebrating Nicky's hands to face time with EM. I wonder if they'll be competing with Lily Brown to be sort of like the best to your well, A lot of the time, when someone has a baby and there's baby showers and then birthday parties following it, you realize it's such a special time in someone's life that you sort of drop all

of that shit. So maybe this will be an opportunity for the gang to get back together bybee Now, EM has been really active on TikTok and she's even added Eila's mamma to her name, and her birth video has wrapped up one million views on Instagram already. So this

video shows all the highlights of the birthing experience. So we see EM and Joel walking into the hospital, as well as EM in the hospital bed strapped up to all of the monitoring systems and EM opted for a vaginal birth, and you can see a photo of EM's mum propped up by her bed as she gives birth, which was just such a sweet touch. The video also shows snippets of Em crying as Joel comforts her and shots of the delivery. Now, a lot of people were

commenting who actually filmed this content? I think maybe people were thinking, was it the nurses, it like the midwife videography. Yeah, but it was actually two of EM's friends who were support people, like they were allowed in the birthing sweet and they did such a good job. It has only been five days since Em gave birth, but she is delivering on the newborn content. So she shared the hot dad style TikTok video of Joel carrying baby Isler out

of the hospital in her capsule. That is a very viral video that I'm seeing a lot of creators making. She also shared a hilarious video of her holding her baby in the hospital bed surrounded by sushi, with the caption It's good being zero weeks present. She has been missing that a lot.

very well known business on the Gold Coast. It has completed fit outs for a number of high profile shops, including Quicksilver, Muffin Break and also Sassin Byte. There has been no official word yet from Locke or Sky about the company going into external administration, and even on Thursday, the company was still uploading posts on as social media account. Yeah, and shop fit Co is regularly featured in Sky's YouTube videos.

So they are renovating their Gold Coast mansion. They've been renovating it for what feels like forever, It's been five years, and in recent videos we've seen Locke's staff popping up in their shop fit Ko shirt carrying out the renovations. I wonder if it's because there's not much work for them to be doing on other projects, so like, better get my money's worth and get them working on my own house. Well, the image that they've been portraying, is

this is a very successful business. Yeah, they definitely give off this impression that they're very successful. That being said, there have been some whispers about financial issues within the business because there were reports that Locke's company had been locked in a very bitter court battle with a Sydney man since twenty twenty three, and Shopfit Co says that the man still owes them close to sixty thousand dollars for a fit out that they did for a Portuguese

burger bar. Now things got murkier because the business owner is now countersuing Shopfit, alleging that the work was not up to scratch and they're wanting damages for a breach of contract and also loss of opportunity. So it sounds like a very stressful time. Yeah, And I think there's also a bit of confusion over this term external administration

and what it actually means. So for those who are unaware, it basically means that someone from outside of Locke's business, known as an external administrator, has been appointed to either try and save this business, to sell it, or to wind it down to try and repay its debts. And according to the Gold Coast bulletin. Shop fit Co is being administered under the Small Business Restructuring Program, So this program gives companies with debts of less than one million

dollars a last ditch attempt to avoid liquidation. And interestingly, documents show that the majority of the money that shop fit Co actually owes is to the ATO, and there have been a lot of reports that the ATO is undergoing a massive crackdown. So we're seeing a lot of businesses, especially construction businesses, currently being chased by the ATO for unpaid taxes. And this is because there was a pandemic

induced hiatus on the ATO enforcing these tax payments. Now, this story has been making a lot of headlines, particularly on the Gold Coast, and it's good to see the sky. Wheatley has been very sensitive handling this situation with her partner because she has been poking a lot of fun at him about it. So over the weekend she shared an Instagram story of Lockey washing her car and she wrote,

never seen him do this. I'm giving him pocket money since he's broke now with three cry pass Well, surely things aren't that die if she's paying him out all. I just think it's her sense of humor. A lot of fans have noticed that Locke has had much more of a presence on a social media account, because previously he would protest to being in a TikTok videos and

he'd begrudgingly appear. But now he seems sort of down to be in it, and I wonder if it's because now that his business isn't doing so well, he thinks, fuck, maybe I've got to have a social media presence online. Maybe this is a secondary income for me. I think maybe it's made him appreciate Sky more and he's thought, well, fuck, is Sky's actually going to be bringing in most of the income into this family? Maybe I need to support her. Well, that's all we've got time for today. Thank you so

much for listening to another episode. Please don't forget to follow us on Instagram and TikTok. We're at Outspoken Underscore the Underscore podcast. Also, you can follow Kate, Sophie and I on Instagram. Will be sharing some fun behind the scenes videos soon. A bit of a fun fact. This is the second time we have recorded this episode and that is why it is a day late because we had a major technical difficulty. We have new recording equipment.

But we have very old microphones and old microphone cards, and one of them is faulty. So you went to sit down on Monday night and edit a amy and my whole microphone was crackling. I tried to edit it around it, but it was just absolutely impossible. My husband was so mad at me. I was literally sitting on the toilet when you're cold, and I just was like, yeah, every time you get some kind of news, you're sitting on the toilet. Last week it was the Molly and

Tommy News. Now it was the podcast is when you're on your phone, you've got time to scroll anyway, leaving everyone with that beautiful image. But this episode was recorded on the traditional land of the Ghana people of the Adelaide Planes. We pay respect to elders past and present.
