    BACK ON HIS B******T: Accused Abuser Luke Bateman's 'Good Guy' Con Continues & the ‘Feminists’ Helping Him Profit From Women’s Suffering | EXTRA

    The Bachelors and I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! star Luke Bateman's performative activism is back—and yet again, he's touring the media, positioning himself as the poster boy for positive masculinity, lecturing other men on how to be "good men", and telling women which men they should trust. The problem? This is the same man who has been accused by multiple former partners of abusive behaviour. In this episode, I'm exposing the staggering hypocrisy behind Luke's latest PR tour and explaining why I believe it's not advocacy—it's image management and gaslighting on a mass scale. Because while Luke continues rebuilding his reputation with zero accountability and honesty, the women who say they were harmed by him are still living with the consequences. I'm also calling out the people helping make that possible, including the Relatables podcast, who claim to advocate for ending violence against women and profit off women’s suffering, yet continued to platform Luke while deleting comments and ignoring warnings about his alleged history. Plus, I’m A Celebrity.. Get Me Out Of Here! winner, comedian Concetta Caristo, who publicly champions women's rights and domestic violence awareness, yet continued publicly supporting Luke despite being made aware of the allegations against him, deleting comments raising those concerns and ignoring private messages warning her about his abusive behaviour. As well as ‘feminist icon’ Abbie Chatfield for silencing one of Luke's victims to protect the network paying her salary. Plus, we tackle the uncomfortable questions no one else seems willing to ask: Why do some self-proclaimed feminists publicly advocate for women but stay silent when it's inconvenient? Why does the media keep handing accused abusers microphones while the women speaking out are ignored, silenced or discredited? Why are we so quick to reward men with redemption arcs before they've taken any accountability? Why are we still allowing men to profit from the harm they're accused of causing? I'll also share an update on whether Luke has apologised to any of the women who say he harmed them—or repaid the $50,000 one former partner alleges he took from her—and unpack what his choice of charity on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! reveals about the image he's trying to sell. Because if you're going to build an entire personal brand around being the solution to violence against women, your own behaviour shouldn't be the very thing women need protecting from...

    THE STORY I NEVER THOUGHT I’D HAVE TO TELL: My Falling Out With MAFS Bride Sierah Swepstone (Part 5) | EXTRA

    Part 5... Well, this definitely wasn't the episode I ever thought I'd be recording, and I am truly sad that it has come to this. Over the past two weeks, I've found myself at the centre of one of the most shocking and confusing situations I've experienced since starting So Dramatic! If you've been listening for a while, you'll know MAFS 2025 bride Sierah Swepstone, and I worked very closely together over the past year. I spent months helping her tell her story in a nine-part podcast series, supporting her behind the scenes, advocating for her, and staying in regular contact ever since. So you can imagine my shock when the very person I'd spent months fighting for suddenly turned on me and then publicly accused me of some very serious and deeply distressing things. What started as Sierah sending me some pretty aggressive texts because (???) quickly spiralled into serious public accusations, a dramatic falling out, and what some might even describe as a targeted smear campaign – which all kicked off after my appearance on The Morning Show, where I referenced Sierah's experience to raise awareness about the alleged failures of duty of care on MAFS – has since exploded into one of the biggest behind-the-scenes dramas I've ever personally experienced (and as you know, there have been many!) But then things got even stranger. Our private Patreon community was infiltrated by a rogue "undercover agent" who made a very targeted attack, leaving many of you caught in the crossfire and just as confused as I was. And so, here we are. This wasn't a story I ever wanted to tell. But after the public allegations made against me by Sierah and those close to her, particularly regarding my character, intentions, and actions, I feel it's only fair that I respond and clear my name. So, in this special multi-part series, I'll explain everything that happened: why I scrapped the original episode I'd already recorded, the shocking turn of events after my appearance on The Morning Show, the deeply hurtful messages Sierah sent me, why she blocked me, what she and her mum have publicly accused me of, the Patreon drama that unfolded in real time, the dramatic fallout, the new information that's since come to light and completely changed everything, my response to everything that's happened, and of course, the receipts behind it all, and why I felt it was only fair to tell you the full story. Although these allegations have been made publicly, for now I'm choosing to respond here, in this relatively private, paywalled space, with the people whose opinions matter most to me. I hope this series answers your questions, clears up the confusion, and gives you a much better understanding of what has been one of the most unexpected and heartbreaking plot twists I've experienced since starting this podcast.
