00:00look I think they jumped the gun like me going in I thought like you know people

00:05like me like you know I'm nice whatever like I can be mean here and there but

00:11that's what you do and you have to stand up for yourself and then once it was

00:15airing it just like the backlash was insane I've never experienced it like

00:20that before and like obviously it was my first time like being on TV or even just

00:26in social media like I guess spotlight at all and yeah I was like so taken back

00:33because I haven't had anyone or you know had so many people at that volume telling

00:38me you know they don't like me or they you know want me to go die or you know

00:43they're gonna come find me stuff like that and I was like I was like so shocked

00:48because like I would talk to some of the other cast members and they were not

00:52getting the reaction I was getting in I guess I was like named or like branded

00:56as like the villain of the show so yeah I guess being like a little 21 year old I

01:03was a bit like wow everyone hates me like I thought my life I honestly thought my

01:08life was over to be honest I have no idea honestly like and like my parents were

01:14supporting me but you know they've never you know dealt with a situation like

01:18that before and you know people can say oh I know how you feel and you know I'm

01:23here for you but they actually really don't until you like are in like that

01:27position and you have like I pretty much had the whole of Australia telling me I'm

01:30a bad person and they hate me and all loads of horrible things so yeah I

01:36definitely was letting it get to me a little bit I think definitely I would say

01:4190% of it was on social media there definitely was some in-person stuff as well

01:46when I would go out or I would be you know even with my family things like

01:50that you know I would have young girls or like you know well girls my age come

01:55up to me and like you know call me like you know I'm a bitch or you know you're

02:00such a bully you're not a girl's girl things like that and I'm like like at the

02:05end of the day it is still just a TV show like I can't control how you think

02:11about me but you have to remember like it is TV it's not real life as well

02:15for the first part I actually just like just turned them off altogether I was

02:19like I don't I don't want to know like just got rid of them off my phone and

02:23then it got to a point where I was like oh like you know I put myself in this

02:27position I can't just like you know hide away from it and wait for it to

02:31disappear so I handed my socials over to someone that would run it for me and

02:37they did all the posting and stuff which helped

02:39um but you know it's hard when you you know it's 12am at night and you're

02:46curious of what everyone's saying and sometimes I would like you know look

02:50log in or look into the comments and or like even look on like my like fake

02:54account I would go to like my real account and have a look at all the things

02:58and yeah it's hard to like ignore when it was like at that such a volume of

03:03I guess people and because the show was airing for 10 weeks

03:07obviously people were talking about for 10 weeks but then the hate continued

03:11it's still continuing now even a year later I wasn't going to come back so I

03:17put my foot down said no not coming back like no thank you

03:20and yeah I guess had a few meetings here and there and

03:25I decided like okay I'll come back and then

03:30yeah I think I wanted to like rewrite my story but then also not

03:35because I'm thinking like okay if I'm right out of the villain and

03:39you know people don't like me then I can just like use that to my advantage and

03:44like I guess people like they think about me like really dumb just think oh she's

03:49just she just is mean doesn't think but for me like I thought going back in and

03:54like still being the villain it's still like a good move for me because that

03:59means people are still watching me at my every move

04:01that means when I am working or when I am working on things and doing things

04:05people are going to be watching so yeah I think people

04:09are a little bit you know they underestimate what I'm actually doing

04:14but 100% the cast that I work with they can say like behind closed doors that

04:20I am not a bully but I mean if they go and say it out loud and

04:26you know make it known that I am that just means I know that they're lying to my

04:32face to be honest
