It’s not as personal as you think it is.”This is an interesting, and again common, accusation in many of the online threads.“Cassandra just think of the other women that have been left high and dry from their husbands, with not even a cent to their name. It's that she just will not stop talking about it. The producers didn’t know where she was.”Now allow us to fulfill your drama-loving appetites.“Just one. A role model to many and my…” Why does the public now want to silence Thorburn?A common comment on social media is that Thorburn is profiting from her misery when in fact, she already has plenty of money and assets, and thus should keep her stories to herself.Yes, Thorburn was sad, and now she’s not. But… isn’t that what she’s doing?The podcast isn't specifically about her own divorce and there's certainly no "dirty laundry" aired in the 1st episode at least, which had the CEO of Relationships Australia as the featured guest. “I thought, ‘I’m glad it’s not me!’ To be honest, that’s all I thought.”During their hometown date, Cathy accused Josh of throwing her under the bus after Josh’s mum brought up the couple’s issues at lunch.Karl and Cassandra, who separated in 2016 after 21 years of marriage, share two sons together, Jackson and River and daughter, Ava.“Pack your bags Australia… (I) cannot wait to share this epic romantic adventure with you all.”"Wood said, “I definitely don’t think you understand what you’re getting yourself into before you do.”"When discussing recent tragedies involving reality TV stars, he said, “I think we have to look out for each other. 715 Likes, 158 Comments - Cassandra Thorburn (@cassthorburn) on Instagram: “Um yep I was slammed by this judge DM, as were about half the other contestants). 7,499 Followers, 187 Following, 236 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from Cassandra Thorburn (@cassthorburn) But in the criticism, there’s an absolute refusal to acknowledge that a woman can grow and speak about a divorce in a healthy way.
The majority of people would actively avoid being a reality TV "star" because it's an utterly vapid existence.“He’s married. We still share three children and nothing is ever going to change that.”“What did you think when you saw that your ex is now having a baby with someone else? Just one!” she responded, insinuating she currently has or once had a boyfriend.“I spoke to Michael a couple [of] days ago, he asked how I was, we had a chat, he said he was coming to Sydney and if I wanted to go meet him for a drink,” read KC’s message.“What a terrible edit, f*ck it, I’m calling [my] mum,” he wrote on Facebook.We’re seven seasons in and yes, the experts are still trying to palm this off as a “social experiment” and we’re no longer mad about it.Karl and Jasmine celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary in December last year and are due to welcome their baby daughter in May.“And those messages were sent way before I even had a drink with Michael,” she continued.In his Instagram announcement last week, Locky said he was excited to be announced as the 2020 Bachelor.“Cathy went out and didn’t come home for the entire night,” he said.If you’re unsure what we’re talking about, let’s fill you in.In the comments on the post, Josh’s mother Mandy accused Cathy of being a “paid actress employed by producers”.“I’m not going to badmouth her, but I will say that it’s disappointing,” KC said.“There’s no denying I’ve had some incredible, heart-stopping experiences for both work and fun, but this takes the cake,” he said.Only if you're completely clueless. Was that a weird moment for you?” asked Kyle Sandilands on the show.“I said if I do I would first ask you… Not sure I will but I do see Michael as a friend but that’s it.”The pair separated just months before Karl started dating Jasmine in late 2016.She also clarified that the texts were exchanged before she met up with Michael. But the podcast makes it clear it’s not Thorburn’s personal sledge session.So she can have an opinion but just can't say what it is? It would be far more relatable to have the perspective of a woman who isn't financially stable and who, after decades absent from the workforce, isn't afforded highly-coveted, high-profile job opportunities as soon as she re-enters it.
