Customer Reviews
Crafting a villain
insight into reality tv and the devastating consequences when tv meets real life - I applaud Olivia for her bravery and resilience - a very balanced story without the drama 🤣 - well done ABC!
Olivia - MAFS
It was actually very informative to hear Olivia’s version of events.
I think anyone that the public needs to take a good hard look at itself and remember if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all!
Olivia you need to become an advocate for online bullying.. You could truly bring something wonderful to the world from something so dark 🫶
It’s a well-told story, but presenter’s voice is too relaxing
The presenter’s voice is so relaxing and hypnotic that I can’t concentrate on the story. 😂 She should do those sleep stories.
