In short

The LuxeGen Group Chat episode covers: whether Camp Rock 3 is needed (and why the trailer sounds overly auto-tuned/AI), influencer wedding drama around Acquired Style’s Vera Wang gown and an influencer who posted trying on the same dress, and reactions to Netflix’s Raygun documentary (about Australian breakdancer Raygun, 2020 Olympics; viewers expect it to be funny and possibly “doubling down” on memes). They also discuss celebrity rumors: Anne Hathaway pregnancy speculation (fake bump), Demi Lovato/Nick Jonas “beef,” and a possible Michael B. Jordan/Ray/Fred again love-triangle/throuple.

Guests

India (host), Harriet, and Lola. Harriet recently traveled to Ghana for a 90th birthday for a family friend who became their “grandma”; Lola and Harriet discuss fashion/bras/heatwave outfits. Key examples: Raygun’s Netflix trailer editing; Acquired Style’s sister kissing makeup; the “wedding day content” pressure; graduation mishaps (splits, falling).

Grab a Pepsi Zero Sugar today. Welcome back to the LuxGen Group Chat. On today's episode, we asked the all-important question, did we really need a Camp Rock 3? It sounds so auto-tuned, so AI'd. You could tell they're not actually singing in real life. Like, this is not it.

0:41I do think, why do people always touch sacred things? How far would you go with your graduation celebration? Someone at mine did the splits. What? That is so funny. In another life, I would have done that. And we get into all the details of the latest influencer wedding drama. The dresses I tried on but like would never pick. Yeah. It's a bit like, yeah, I picked it. Yeah. Make sure to keep listening because it's a really fun one. Hello and welcome back to the LuxGen Group Chat. I'm India and today I'm joined by Harriet and Lola. Hi. How is everyone? We were just talking about how we miss NSG.

1:16Who remembers the group NSG? Me. I went and saw them at Wireless. That was like the time of 2018. Really? Yeah. They had bangers. they had ot bop that's such a throwback 2018 summer 2016 and 2018 summer yeah how is everyone i'm good how you you've just landed i'm good i've because i've not been in the office for two weeks so like fill me in what's been going on and you've just been thrown into a yeah actually um guys i did just land this morning at 7 a.m um so bad words but no ghana was great i went for my grandma's birthdays yeah sorry yeah you can say that yeah your grandma's birthday is not like your average like tea and cakes like she was like she made a tiktok and she was like this is my first drink and then the second drink was her like dj booth like whose grandma's like that it was her 90th and she's quite a like so actually the story is she's not my biological grandma it's like there's a group of like family friends and we've known each other since or our parents have been friends before we were all born right so she's basically through the years has become our grandma so we all flew over to ghana to celebrate her 90th so we went to church in the morning and then we went hard in the evening yeah and um everyone just got really drunk i want my grandma to take some notes yeah why is my grandma having tea and cake i want to be literally nine shots deep with her no but it was really fun and then i saw some of my friends because i used to live there in ghana if you don't know um and then yeah now i'm back but i'm so glad it's hot yeah in london i would have been so depressed it's hot today yeah it's 36 degrees 37 degrees i thought I heard on the radio it's getting up to 38 and that's too hot well what are you guys wearing for the heatwave because you're kind of like not dressed heatwave I know I know I literally wore this last time it was really hot and it was such a mistake and for some reason I've gone I'll do it again thanks it's just a H &M crochet top and then I've just got some white pull and bear shorts on pull and bear so good and then red javianas on my feet and then some statement earrings from Mango nice And then rings are Priya and Pilgrim.

3:17Where are your glasses from? Amazon. Wow. Yeah. They have such good blue light glasses, guys. How much do you get them for? Like 10 pounds. No way. I mean, are they really protecting my eyes? Probably not. Yeah, I was going to say, do you actually feel the difference? No, it is actually. Like, if I take my glasses off, it's like, it looks different. Really? Yeah. I've never owned blue light glasses before. Neither. They help if you're staring at a screen all the time, which I feel like you guys do. I actually think we need that. Our whole role. Lola, what are you wearing? I've really gone like opposite.

3:46I feel like I dress skimpier in winter than right now. But I've got this Zara top that I did a fit finder on LG yesterday. And I was like, I need it. So I got it. It's really fun. You in that color as well, can I just say? Yeah, it's so pretty. You look so pretty in pink. I think everyone looks good in pink. Because whenever I wear pink, you say that I look really good. That's your color. Trousers. These are like some balloon trousers with like a little tie detail on the top. From Bershka. Nice. Love Bershka. Same. And then my Massimo GT flip-flop. I can't call it a heel because it's the smallest heel.

4:19It's like half an inch. It's just like a wedge. A little step. They're so comfortable. I've worn them everywhere. So I think they need a refresh. Have you tucked the top into your bra? My bra. That's so cool. Really? I've got a Cuckoo Intimates bra that I literally wear everywhere. I would lift up my top, but I don't know how appropriate that is. Flash to the screen. It's literally just got a really cottagecore sort of... pattern on it almost like you want to see it through a bit because it's so pretty i do love like a cute intimacy like bralette instead of like a lace well i do also love the lacy but no in between do you guys wear bras because this is a conversation i have i think bras are got out i never wear an underwire bra oh i don't wear underwired no i only wear bralettes now i think i wore an underwired once last month and that was just kind of to like remind myself of what it was like yeah no i'm going back no neither i just can't do it wear them out of like because i have them but like out of comfort i would prefer to wear what's the best bra you have it's like a lounge one it's like lacy and it's got no wire in it it's got no padding it's got no padding as well yes i've got that one too and it's pretty no padding as well so if you see it it's fine i got one from cotton on the other day cotton on sorry another brand that's like kidding at the moment But yeah, it's like a sort of similar to Cuckoo Intimate.

5:39It's gray, like point tail vibes. But it came with padding, but I took the padding out. Yeah, always. It's like, why would you put padding in a bikini as well? I don't get that. I always take it out. Take them out. It makes my boobs look weird. Yeah. And it always moves. That's cute. You wash it and then it's like half to the side. Why has no one invented one that doesn't move? They need to be like actually sewn into the like material. Agreed. And that you can all like Velcroed into it and pull it out. Guys, I think we've got a business plan. So we didn't invent something. Oh wait, what am I wearing?

6:10Yeah, what are you wearing? Literally, I had to whip out my suitcase. This is a garage tank top. This is such a good tank top. They do these in those different colors. I was going to ask you where I was from. These shorts are cos. I got them in New York. And then just my Havaianas. But I've gone for like the beach vibe Havaianas today. But these are actually authentically Brazilian. Okay. These are Brazil. Oh, my mum did for me, so. Okay, diva. She's international. Brazil in the house.

6:37Before we get into the hot list, please don't forget to subscribe because it really does help us out a lot. But without further ado, let's move on. So guys, I've been hearing a lot about Anne Hathaway's pregnancy and speculation that she's not actually pregnant and that the bump is fake. Yeah, people think the bump is fake. So I didn't know about this and then Saskia showed me a picture upstairs and it looked like the bump was prosthetic. Like it looked like they conjoined the bump with like some fake glue. I think people were just like they didn't really see her get pregnant and then she was just suddenly pregnant so they're a bit like whoa where did it come from also she wasn't actually showing any skin and that's why she wore that top so that's why you think she was like how can I prove this to everyone so she did an insta and she was like fake hair real bump and then like I kind of like that I feel like Anne Hathaway's got a diva have you ever seen that video of her singing the arsenal Yeah.

7:35No. Oh my God. What is that? She's a massive Arsenal fan. Yeah. No.

7:44London forever. She's just an actress. On the topic of films, Camp Rock is back. I'm so excited. Are you? Camp Rock. Yeah. Because I've heard very mixed reviews. The OGs are so good. No. Have you guys seen the trailers and have you seen clips of the film? No. No. So it's this guy called Malachi Burton. He's supposed to be kind of like the Nick Jonas of this version. Right. And then the girl who's basically supposed to be like the new Mitchie is called Lea Marnie. And their voices are great. But there's a clip in the film where everyone's singing the same song. I think they're auditioning for something.

8:19And it sounds so auto-tuned, so AI'd. You could tell they're not actually singing in real life. Like they are miming the songs and all the comments are just like, absolutely not. let's not bring back Cameron 3 this is not it I do think why do people always touch sacred things yeah like you're like Shrek for example oh yeah should have left that in the past it looks really odd now yeah like Shrek doesn't look like Shrek exactly and his kids are like not his kids it's very weird like why ruin something yeah but I feel bad for the actors and actresses because they're actually in real life they're great singers they're great actors I think they've been acting since they were kids I think they're still teens but they're getting all this hate which is like yeah and also i suppose to a level it's like not there like they're not in control of like how yeah it is and like what happens in exactly i also feel a bit like i don't know sentimental about demi levato going back into a place where it was like so triggering for her have you ever watched her well isn't she in it yeah she's going back as mitchy i believe oh no way and have you ever watched her documentary no so she talks about like her drug abuse like growing up yeah and that like during camp rock stage it was like kind of like leading into her drug abuse alcohol abuse so like i feel like she's come a really long way because this girl's had so much hate online everything yeah and then when she came out with this documentary like everyone was like okay let's create a safe space for her and now she's going back in it i'm like girl why would you go back if it was like such a triggering space surely i'll leave that Yeah, I mean, true.

9:55And like relevancy. Yeah, we'll get money as well. There's also beef about her and Nick Jonas. Really? Yeah. That surprised me because wasn't she like the opening act or the surprise act at the Jonas 3? Yeah, didn't they perform together? Yeah, the Jonas Brothers. Yeah, well, I think she's really good friends with the other ones. I'm not sure she's that good friends with Nick Jonas. So Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato dated. They then broke up. So they weren't really friends. But Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato stayed friends for like years. Then 2017, like a massive fight broke out. And the clip from the Camp Rock 3 premiere kind of shows them like really like awkwardly hugging and being like.

10:35Oh no. Yeah. I wonder what happened. I don't know. Anyways. Me and Ellie once walked past Joe Jonas. Yeah, when you were filming SL Man. And they didn't even know it was Joe Jonas. No, no. Wrong. I didn't. Joe Jonas is like, he's a Shing. If you don't know what a Shing is, he's a short king. Is that what a Shing is? Yeah. When you said a shing, I was like, is that an animal that I'm not aware of? No, he's a short kid. Who made, did you make that up? No, I don't know where I got that. I think it's a thing. Anyways, I like genuinely didn't realise it was him, because you know how like celebrities are taller in your mind than in real life?

11:11We were filming and the guy next to him had a great outfit. So I was like, hi, can I film you for SL Man? And Ellie's obviously made eye contact with Jojo and it's like, oh my God. And then I'm like, okay, cool. Thanks. Bye. Walk away. She goes, Lola, that was Joe Jonas. I was like, no, it wasn't. And then he walks by us later on and we're like, no, we just missed Joe Jonas. He does kind of give me a short King of energy though. Like, have you seen his TikTok reposts? I love TikTok. Really? Yeah. He's kind of jokes. He's so funny. He's chronically online. You know that trend where it's like, the activities that your friends bring, bring you on when you're like hungover or like if you're going through a breakup.

11:49And I think he was like at this beach club in some European city and there was some waiter doing some extravagant dance in the middle of the room and just pans to him just like deadpan, like hungover. He's actually just so funny. He's funny. I like him. Whilst we're still talking about celebs, Michael B. Jordan, Ray and Fred again. Is that a love triangle? It's a throuple. What is going on between them and three? What a great trio. Wasn't it Michael B. Jordan and Ray were spotted at Six Flags together? I would so ship them. I think it's so difficult with celebs though because they could literally just be friends and everyone will just see them together.

12:24I don't know if you're friends and you go to Six Flags. If you're going to Six Flags. I'd go to Six Flags with my mates though. Yeah, but you're not great with Michael B. Jordan. You never know, guys. Sorry, if I told my boyfriend I'm going to Six Flags with just Michael B. Jordan, he'd be like, I'm coming with you. This is where it ends. Weren't they there with friends though? It wasn't just them. I thought they were there with friends. Weren't they? I don't know It was other people with them surely They were sat next to each other on the roller coaster Yeah I did see that And like I just think if you're that famous and you know you're going to get the speculation why go to a place It's like I do get that I do get that If you're just friends Yeah the biggest amusement park in the world Yeah Maybe they just want to have fun Yeah but rent it out Go private a day They do have enough money to just rent it out Yeah they could They could shut down six packs Yeah they are absolutely dating Or go to Chessington oh my god she's from London so she goes up to something more low key but also Fred again and her I suppose she's been dating this is where I'm confused because I've never heard this before oh really?

13:35no well speculation again but apparently they've been dating for some time but they must have broken up because Ray and Fred again I don't have to do that yeah I wouldn't put them together I don't know I like duos that like you wouldn't automatically think of like to me Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian go so well together but Timothy Chalamet and Kylie are like whoa I kind of ship it if they are dating Michael B. Jordan and Marie I do too I ship it imagine how beautiful the baby's being yeah their kids would be gorgeous she's funny too yeah she's quite I think they both suit each other because they both seem to be quite out there like Michael B.

14:09Jordan is quite mellow and would let her shine but he's not like a freak like he's still quite confident but do you think he's cracking back I am his best friend that's why I know that you know him well my close friend's not brand new Is he cracking band with her? I don't know. Yeah, that's what I do. That is true. But then Fred again and Ray, I feel like Fred again just won't get Ray's humor. I see that more. Really? Yeah. Because he's from London, I think. Yeah, he's from London and she's from London. So I think it's easier. Fair enough. He went to the Brits school. It would be a way if they did a song together.

14:40Yeah. That would be a bad idea. Actually, that needs to happen. That needs to happen. Have you guys been following the Acquired Style wedding? The drama. that has come out of this. First of all, what did you think of her dress? I loved it. I loved it. With the hair? Yeah. She looked like a Barbie. She looked so pretty but it was kind of unexpected. I don't think in my mind when I thought about like all the lead up and stuff and I was thinking about oh I wonder what she's going to wear. I didn't expect her to have a dress like that. I don't know why. She was known for like going all out. Extravagant at like her Christmases and Thanksgiving.

15:11So I always thought it would be a bit princessy but I think it's really nice. Yeah, I think it's princessy in like a nice simple way. Like she didn't go too overboard, which was great. Yeah. True. I mean, she looked fab. She looked unbelievable. Makeup. Did you see her sister gave her a kiss on her cheek? And it was there. And she had like spent hours in glam and then put like a massive kiss on it. But I think that's quite symbolic. Yeah, yeah. I thought that was such a sweet moment. Yeah. And then she rubs it off. Did you see that girl, that influencer that tried on Acquired Style's wedding dress?

15:42Yes. Oh my God. Let's go back. This girl basically posted herself trying on, I don't know if she's got married already and she was posting like dresses she tried on but didn't buy or something. Which is a trend. Yeah. Which is fair enough. And she tried on the dress that Acquired Style ended up wearing a Vera Wang gown and she posted it, I don't know if it was the day of or the day after all Acquired Style stuff came out. Yeah. And everyone sort of kind of ripped into her and was like, oh, you've like. Throwing shade. Yeah, throwing shade at her basically. But I'm like, I mean - To be fair, that is a bit annoying.

16:17It's a bit of a coincidence. The dresses I tried on, but like would never pick. Yeah, like - It wasn't like that, but like, it's a bit like, well, I picked it. Yeah. But also like, it's just a coincidence that she would choose to post that when the other dress is going viral because of the Wildstar's wedding. I do feel bad. She's had to like prove the screenshots of like when she made the video. Yeah, I saw that. That it was like the day before. And she like, she was like, said something about, oh it had been like um scheduled to go at this time yes i didn't plan if it just happened to be a coincidence and i was like well the way it is i don't know is that or maybe it just got extra views because it just happened to be the same at the same time and maybe it just was a pure coincidence i don't know but i also just don't think it's that deep people try on wedding dresses that other people have worn all the time i think have you ever seen the movie uh bride wars yeah I haven't.

17:06I think it's... What? You've never watched Pride Wars? Pride Wars? That's like one of the best movies ever made. Who's in it? You don't alter the Vera to fit you. You alter yourself to fit Vera. About the wedding. Boom. I miss the memo. You need to watch it. With Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. Kate Hudson. It's so good. It's like an OG chick flick. Oh my gosh, I need to watch this. Yeah, and they're two best friends who are getting married at the same time and then they become like arch enemies. Oh, okay, fun. And they like try and dye each other's hair, make one fatter. Yeah. So she can't fit the dress.

17:40I haven't watched it, but I know what you're talking about because I feel like I've seen clips of TikTok. Yeah. It's crazy. I think people do, you can be sisters' best friends, but like dresses are competitive. Yeah. Yeah, true. But did you see then Acquired Style, she came out and she was like, oh, I completely customized her Vera Wang gown. Like they made it from scratch. Yeah. Like it's not like she didn't go to the store. Yeah, she had to prove that like it was like all custom made. Which is kind of sad. It's like, just enjoy your dress. Yeah. You should be proving to everyone because I love that.

18:06It was so interesting. So interesting. I need to watch it. Also, how cool that her sister could try on this same dress so she could see how she'd look in her dress. So underrated of having a twin. But she did so much content on her wedding day. So much content. And people are sort of like, whoa, have weddings kind of like, you know, I'm all up for like, you know, somebody else shooting your content. But she did a L 'Oreal ad. She was doing it. I mean to be fair someone's got to pay for that wedding so like I'll be doing it all every morning every hour of the morning just like and she was promoting the world's best setting spray anyways you know that red cast you love that one I was using that in Ghana this past three weeks so good guys because also the humidity in Ghana is so bad my makeup stayed in place the whole time it was actually like guys so good wow agreed if anyone could be put on a product it'd be that so like she was doing an ad for that and I was like kind of fair like yeah like your wedding day yeah um but she just so pumped out content I guess that's her job but like again it's her job yeah so like are you working on your wedding day it's such a thin line because like do you actually enjoy I know filming all of this content yeah on your wedding day because what time are you gonna have to wake up to do your hair and makeup or like factoring all the content before you do your hair and makeup and then doing your hair and makeup and then after like you are starting getting ready at like 3am surely because not gonna lie when it's time to walk down the aisle you're gonna be tired thank you what time do you normally walk down the aisle like 1pm yeah yeah i feel like i'm running out of time sometimes when i've got like a barbecue yeah i'm like i can't do anything it gets at 12 and i'm like i haven't even started getting ready let alone your wedding day where everyone's watching yeah yeah it must be so hard to be like present and actually enjoy it though because you're constantly thinking, what do I need to film?

20:01What do I need to film? What do I need to do? Where do I need to be? She must have a lip. That must be so difficult. She probably hired people to make her content. Like there's stuff that like she's definitely done. I guess that's how she's done so well though. She's obviously true. I rate it. I don't think I could keep up with that. I do like two videos, maybe three myself and then call it a day. I'd probably throw it away. I'd be too busy. It'd be champagne down me. Also like I'd be nervous or maybe, I don't know, do people get nervous on their wedding day? Yeah. But I'd just be like, I don't want everyone to know that I'm literally shaking.

20:33I don't think I'd be myself. And so it would look like I was nervous to marry my husband on my wedding. There's just so many little things that I just... My nightmare would be falling over. Or tripping down. Tripping. Not being able to walk in heels. Guys, someone tripped on stage at our graduation. No. It was so bad. Did the room go silent or did it laugh? It was like a, oh. Like It's a collective That's the worst So she was coming down the steps So obviously you walk up the steps You shake the hand of your Whoever's handing you the Your certificate Yeah And then you go down the steps And you can see that she was trying to Like hold the railings And take her time And as she got to the bottom It was literally the last two steps I think she got a bit too confident So let go of the railing And just went And just stacked Like head back And just everyone was like it's not funny it's not funny poor girl i actually feel bad but i know that keeps her up at night i know it it would have been filmed as well as the worst part on film oh my god true and people go to lecture halls to also watch the recordings as well like everyone can watch that people put those links on their stories like that those links at least you'd know like where at what point in the video you'd be at from the girl falling you'd be like kiss she fell 10 minutes just like a placeholder let's hope that doesn't happen yeah like someone at mine did the splits i feel like maybe that's just like a quirky art school thing that is such that's so quirky got their certificate walk just jumps jumped into the splits and then carried on they jumped yeah they'd even just like slide they like like a dance oh my god that is so funny in another the life I would have done that.

22:25Yeah I feel like all the crazy like graduation what what do you what would you call it graduation celebration yeah I don't know. Always come from like UAL it's always them. You've got to have a new level of confidence. Yeah I just I can't I can barely even like tilt the head. My biggest worry was like am I gonna miss my cap when I'm tilting it is it gonna fall off am I gonna trip but someone's here trying to do the splits. Why tilting it? Why? Because you like go up and you're supposed to kind of like salute your dean or the lecturer or whatever. And you're like, and I was like, because I can't see the top of my head.

22:58I feel like I'm just going to be like, where is it? That is so embarrassing. But there's so many things to think about. And also your wedding. Anyways, we really went on a tangent there. Do you guys remember Ray Gunn? Yeah. Yes. How could you forget? She has a Netflix documentary coming out. I've watched the trailer. Ray Gunn is the Australian break dancer that represented Australia in the 2020 Olympics. And obviously her performance wasn't the best, but the internet ripped her to shreds. She had some questionable dance moves. I thought she was a bit ridiculous, but it was funny to watch. It was funny to watch.

23:37But Netflix has come up with a documentary about her. And when I first heard this documentary, I thought it would be quite serious. Like about the bullying. Yeah, the bullying. This is how it affected her. but watching the trailer it seems quite funny and almost doubling down yeah i so agree the memes and like kind of making fun of her but she also seems to be in on it like she's not clueless she's very aware of the hate and the memes and everyone laughing at her and she's like kind of in on it as well but the way the trailer was edited made it seem as if netflix were also like part of the problem yeah um i don't know i saw one bit of the trailer where netflix asked ray gun's parents yeah did you ever think that ray gun was going to be in the olympics when she was younger and the dad burst out laughing being like sorry that's not the reaction yeah but i kind of i kind of prefer this sort of or this style of documentary as opposed to yeah like Like they're sitting down and yeah.

24:45Maybe they have a jokey relationship though. And then like the fact that he laughed at it, maybe it's funny and they have that relationship. Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully. But yeah, I so thought that when I saw it, I was like, oh, this is like, this is not what I thought it would be at all. I think it's going to be really funny. I think it will go back into like, because she got a lot of hate on not being trained enough or dating the judge or something like that. Dating the judge. Yeah. I think her boyfriend was a judge. Okay. Okay, okay, that's also. So people were quite angry. Like, it was funny at first, and then people were, like, angry that she, like, never babied her way into the Olympics, which is fair.

25:21So hopefully the documentary kind of clears up, like, what actually happened. Like, how did she get there? That is a good question. How did she actually get there? Because she was a, she's a professor. Yeah. Of, like, cultural, like, what is she even a professor of? I don't know. But I know that she's a professor and then ended up doing street dance. But, or break dancing. but when you watch the clips in the trailer of her break dances she doesn't even look that bad no she doesn't i'm like you can actually dance so what was your kangaroo stuff on the stage like you were on the big screen you're at the 2020 olympics yeah why are you not doing what you were doing yeah and when she's like scurrying around like yeah like a bicycle yeah that's what me at the year six disco that was that was just like a weird year and it was covered as well like yeah but it was so good i can kind of i can see why netflix have chosen to make a documentary because people will watch it because it became such a thing.

26:11I feel like people are just so in are going to be so interested. I was going to ask you guys, how do you feel about there being a documentary about it? Because everyone ripped into her for not being good enough for it. And now they're kind of giving her a bigger platform. I think it's bad. Yeah. When I watched the trailer, someone was like, someone in the comments was like, Netflix will make documentaries about anything. Yeah, genuinely. But Netflix knows that they're going to get views from this as opposed to doing a documentary on an actual, an actually good, brilliant dancer. Which is unfortunate, but I guess that's just how the world is right now.

26:43To be fair. It's a series, isn't it? Yeah, I think it is. Oh, it's a series. Okay. I feel like, is there enough content for a whole series? I feel like an hour of that is fine. Is it not part series of other things or is it just her? I thought it was just about her. Okay, that's too much. We don't need like 10 episodes on that. Yeah, I agree. I watched the Idaho murder. I was spinning in a circle continuously. Just the whole time. Have you guys watched the Idaho murder documentary? Is that the house of like the students the four guys I've been watching that other one but it's so good so I was like addicted to this case when it happened in 2021 2022 it gave me shivers shivers you guys need to watch it because like the stuff TikTok's given enough but there's so much information on TikTok that you're kind of confused by the storyline but basically these kids in Idaho lived in a house and the boyfriend was over and one day the girls coming back from a night out they're sleeping in the same bed and a man comes in stabs them the girl downstairs hears something she's like up at 4am goes upstairs he sees her chases her and then kills her and her boyfriend and then the housemate stares at him and he says back at her and he doesn't kill the other two housemates and so it's a whole sort of yeah it's a whole sort of like documentary of like crazy how they found him and like the psychological behavior because he was stalking them wasn't he was he stalking all of them was it just a couple well no we don't know oh right because he pleaded actually i can't i can't say anything but there's stuff that netflix uncovers that like no one's ever seen like all the photos or the imagery like it's crazy it's it's really good though see like that that's good that's like what i like and also like that documentary about um the mom who was actually the girl's bully oh my god yes unknown number would have you watched that yes oh my god harriet oh i've just spoiled it for you sorry but just tell me it's oh like i have never been so infuriated in my life long story short this girl was getting seriously bullied like wait this does sound really familiar yeah sorry but not like like it wasn't like a you're ugly you're fat it was like it was vile stuff like it was disgusting and it was um also trying to break up her and her boyfriend at the time i think she was like 15 anyways at the end it comes out that it was the mom the mom was brilliant and also it was a jump scare or like a shock because the mom was also in the documentary talking about her daughter's bullying she's like calling the police and she's like and this is how she felt and it was terrible and it was sending the family, like, right.

29:25Like, it was just ridiculous. And then at the end, she's like, yeah, and it was me. And we were like, you are psychologically okay. Yeah, literally. That was just like ridiculous.
