Tammy Hembrow & Reece Hawkins Reunite
Tammy Hembrow almost broke the internet over the weekend, when she posted a TikTok with her ex-fiancee and baby daddy, Reece Hawkins. The shock appearance came amid reports that Tammy has allegedly threatened to sue her ex-husband, Matt Zukowksi, for defamation. Details about Sarah’s Day’s investment into electrolyte brand, Hyro, have emerged in an article in Forbes. Back in February, the fitness influencer announced she was an investor in the Australian startup. The revelation came seven months after she’d been spruiking the brand to her one million followers, without disclosing the partnership. Mitch Orval has revealed he shat out 5 parasites during a 110 hour water cleanse. And Broke Hogan has been forced to set the record straight that she’s not Hulk Hogan’s daughter.

Freelee the Banana Girl Deep Dive Episode 1: The OG 'Wellness Warrior'
Freelee the Banana Girl was the face of the online vegan movement in Australia. The OG wellness warrior captured mainstream attention when she claimed she ate 51 bananas. What started out as a mission to spread awareness about veganism, quickly became a toxic crusade for online power and clout. Rather than fighting for the rights of animals, Freelee fought with other vegans and influencers. And instead of progressing the vegan movement, she instead progressed her own personal agenda. These days, Freelee is somewhat of an internet urban legend of the 2010s. Internet whispers say she’s still living off the grid in a jungle. Despite her influence being at full power over a decade ago, her Raw Til 4 Diet is still being blamed for fueling follower’s eating disorders. We are journalists Amy, Kate & Sophie Taeuber and we’re fascinated by the world of influencers and the psychology of cancel culture. In this series we will delve into Freelee’s biggest scandals, her fall from grace and the danger of influence.
