[00:00:00] Speaker 1: I swear, red hair means you've just been heartbroken or something.
[00:00:02] Speaker 2: No, it doesn't always mean that.
[00:00:04] Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it does. I'm pretty sure it does.
[00:00:07] Speaker 2: It's kind of just like a heart drop moment. I don't think there's any other way of explaining it. It's just like, oh my God, he posted the video. He recorded me, first of all, while we were speaking. I just wanted to cry.
[00:00:19] Speaker 1: Also, you're happily single, happily what? Happily single and ready to mingle.
[00:00:25] Speaker 2: For the first few weeks, it was like maybe 30, 40 people calling me, messaging me constantly. FaceTimes at like two, three in the morning. I didn't actually realise straight away that my number was in the video until someone pointed it out to me. I just got talking to him because it was just somebody on the beach.
[00:00:44] Speaker 3: Hello. Hi. Yeah, with your glasses and your like outfit, it's like quite stood out to me. So I want to say hello. Oh, thank you. Yeah.
[00:00:51] Speaker 4: That's very kind of you. I just thought he was being friendly, had no idea that I was being filmed and that I was being used. That's a really good word. I was used for his benefit. I literally have thousands upon thousands of messages and a lot of them were explicit. There was explicit photographs. I was asked if I had a fans only page, I think it's called, or do I have any content and to name my price.
