Channel Seven host erupts in wild spray at radio boss live on air: 'Incredibly disrespectful'

Daily Mail​4 days ago
A prominent Channel Seven presenter created a stir when she turned on a colleague during a live broadcast this week.
Regular presenter and footy guru Caroline Wilson shocked The Agenda Setters panel when she slammed Craig Hutchinson, who hosts the sports show alongside Kane Cornes.
Hutchinson, who is a boss at the Sports Entertainment Network, created controversy earlier this month after SEN purchased the racing station RSN.
During the lively spat, Wilson took Hutchinson to task over the way he handled the takeover, which led to a very public sacking of two popular RSN presenters Daniel Harford and Michael Felgate.
Wilson was upset that Hutchinson had appeared on Felgate's Racing Pulse podcast to tell listeners that the show would not be continuing.

He confirmed that Hartford breakfast show would also be axed in his chat with Felgate.
Agenda Setter panelist Nick Riewoldt opened the discussion of SEN's $3.25 million take over during The Spill segment.
Wilson then weighed in with a spray aimed at Hutchinson's decision to announce the sackings live on air.
'This is no respect, disrespect I should say, to Michael Felgate or Daniel Harford for that matter,' Wilson began.
'But if you're going to remove me from the show, can you please not do it with me on-air?'
Hutchinson was not amused and quickly took aim at Wilson.
'This is not something to joke about,' he said, while Wilson retorted: 'I'm not joking about it.'
Hutchinson then told viewers that the story of the live on air sackings was 'incorrect' and that it 'did not happen.'
He also laid down the law to his panelist, adding, 'That's incredibly disrespectful and disappointing.'
'Oh, don't. Craig, you walked into the studio, I know Michael Felgate already knew that his show would no longer be continuing,' Wilson said.
'But if you're going to do it to me, I would rather it happen behind the scenes and not on air.'
Hutchinson went on to explain to viewers that a press release about the changes to RSN's programming a day before his on air appearance.
He added, 'And there was a mature, two-way conversation on-air and you're making light of it, which is disappointing.'
Wilson then appeared to lose patience and told her colleague: 'Oh, grow up.'
Hutchinson had addressed the RSN programming changes in a chat with Felgate last week during his Racing Pulse show.
'There's nothing personal about (cancelling) either of those programs… we need to invest, over time, into the racing product, it's a racing station.
'It's a different audience to the one that we have developed over on SEN Track, very different audience, very different experience, they don't really resemble each other after midday.'
Harford's breakfast show will be off air by the end of August, while Felgate's program faces the same deadline.
He will be replaced by Giddy Up hosted by Gareth Hall.

Bonnie Blue confirms she's getting divorced as she shares fears over dating again - and her theory that Andrew Tate is gay

Bonnie Blue has confirmed she is getting divorced and that dating may 'be difficult' - while also suggesting Andrew Tate may be gay. In an interview the 26-year-old from Derbyshire - known for her notorious stunt of 'sleeping with more than 1,000 men' in 12 hours - also insisted she is 'empowered'. Bonnie Blue - real name Tia Billinger - shared the story of her split from her ex-husband, the privately educated Ollie Davidson, and claimed her work had nothing to do with the divorce. Speaking to The Times, Ms Billinger recalled she had met her then-boyfriend Ollie at a New Year's Eve party when she was 15. They bought a home together and were saving for a lavish wedding but the soon-to-be porn star said she felt deeply dissatisfied. She was unable to get pregnant after 18 months of trying - thinking a baby might help with the emptiness - but tests revealed it would be hard for her to conceive. Following the end of lockdown she and Mr Davidson, an estate agent, sold their house and cars and had a register office wedding in February 2022, moving to Australia's Gold Coast. Not long after, Tia Billinger became Bonnie Blue. Bonnie Blue started out as a 'cam girl' talking with and performing for men online, insisting her husband 'encouraged' her when she asked him how he felt - 'though he didn't pimp me out'. Unfortunately it was not to be as Mr Davidson returned to England and the pair are now divorcing - though the 26-year-old says her work had nothing to do with it and 'we just grew apart'. Following the separation, Bonnie Blue decided to become a 'full-service' escort as well as joining OnlyFans - a British-owned subscription platform that is chiefly known for porn. It comes as earlier this year Bonnie Blue also claimed her divorce had 'nothing to do with' her controversial 1,000 men a day sex stunt and said she and her ex 'grew apart naturally'. She said: 'We were together from when I was 14 and he was 15. 'We got married at 20, we were together a long time and we just grew apart.' The now multi-millionaire added there 'was no dramatic split up or anything like that' insisting herself and Mr Davidson still had regular contact - with him helping edit her X-rated videos - and had grown 'apart naturally'. Bonnie Blue has now told the Times she is concerned about her dating prospects for the future admitting she is 'taking a break' and a loving intimate relationship will 'be difficult'. She said: 'Me and my ex were together for a very long time and I'm fine not being in a relationship. It's going to be difficult when I'm ready to date, because of what I do.' The X-rated star added: 'Some of the sex I have with people is loving, but it's not boyfriend and girlfriend loving.' She later weighed in with her new theory on Andrew Tate following her appearance with the controversial self-proclaimed misogynist on the Disruptors podcast where he claimed men who 'enjoy gangbangs' are gay. Asked whether she thought Mr Tate was gay, Bonnie Blue said: 'Andrew? Absolutely. Sometimes when you're very anti something, it's because you're actually for it.' Mr Tate had previously described her as 'the perfect end result of feminism'. In the interview, Ms Billinger, who grew up in Draycott - a village between Derby and Nottingham - described her early surroundings as the sort of place 'where your parents are neighbours with people they went to school with, and they live two minutes down the road from their parents. Which is nice, but it's as if you can't leave.' Her father was a welder who repaired railway tracks, working long hours often away from home, while her mother stayed in the house looking after her and her sister before working as a childminder, shop assistant and nursing home carer. Ms Ballinger described her childhood as close and loving. She lost her virginity at 13, to a boy of 14, and first started watching porn at 12. The controversial star also reflected on previously holding a sign saying 'Bonk me and let me film it' (made by her mother) before sleeping with 150 18-year-olds at Nottingham University freshers week and 122 during US spring break in Mexico. She argued men had 'made porn content with schoolgirls since day one' so 'why can't I do a schoolboy'. Bonnie Blue concluded: 'Each day I wake up so excited. I can't believe this is my life.' She insisted she would never be caught crying like her peer Lily Phillips - another controversial OnlyFans star - who broke down after a 100-men stunt. The 26-year-old, who has now gone mainstream, is the subject of a new Channel 4 documentary - 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story - that will air on Tuesday next week.

Rebel Wilson hits back at lawsuit when she's sued for accusing movie producers' of inappropriate conduct

Rebel Wilson has hit back at the second lawsuit filed against her by the producers of her directorial debut film The Deb, and released a song from the movie called F*** My Life. The lawsuit claims the 45-year-old star made false and derogatory statements about the producers, including accusations of engaging in 'inappropriate conduct' toward the film's star Charlotte MacInnes - who's since denied the allegations. Wilson shared a message on Instagram on Friday, and called the proceedings, which were filed by producers Vince Holden, Gregor Cameron, and Amanda Ghost in the NSW Supreme Court on Thursday, an act of 'spiteful toxic behavior'. Wilson's post said: 'Apparently I'm being sued in Australia? It makes no sense. 'As the director, producer, and co-star who nurtured a project called The Deb for five years from a three-page idea into a gorgeous feature film - I wish nothing more than to have this film released and have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to get this to happen. 'To say otherwise is complete nonsense. I'm so proud of the film! 'In my opinion, this is continued bullying and harassment from UK financiers of the project Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron, and Vince Holden. 'They tried to prevent the film from premiering there (they lost) and now they've tried to stop the film being released because of a baseless US lawsuit and now a further Australian one.' Wilson went on to say it was 'imperative the movie is released' and added it was 'sad' to see the hard work of 'so many Australians' who worked on the film go to waste. Wilson added: 'Contractually as financiers they have the power to sell or release/distribute the film. They haven't done so. 'It's been a year since the film has been completed and ready to go in cinemas. Instead, in my opinion they have continued this spiteful toxic behaviou.' Wilson then revealed the first song of the film F*** My Life and she would be releasing it for her fans to listen to 'because if these f***wits aren't going to release the movie I may as well'. She also doubled down on previous accusations she made against Ghost, Cameron, and Holden, which they have since denied and included in both their defamation lawsuits against the Pitch Perfect star. The star continued: 'I've moved on, now directing my second movie and loving it. But regarding The Deb, all I can literally say is "F*** My Life" with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart. 'Everyone who worked on the movie and who knows me knows I put my blood, sweat and tears into this. Everyone knows I'm a "truth teller" when it comes to vile people in the industry. 'I just want this movie to come out and for all the amazingly talented contributors to be recognized for their sensational work! 'At least we had the Toronto premiere—and at least now you can all see the opening of the film. Posting it now! Rebs x' Wilson then made good on her promise and proceeded to post the opening song of The Deb. Reports of the second lawsuit filed in Australia emerged on Thursday. Holden, Cameron and Ghost claimed Wilson falsely accused them of embezzling the film's funds and engaging in 'inappropriate conduct' with MacInnes, reported The Australian. Wilson's also being sued for defamation in the U.S. courts by the three producers, who accused her of injurious falsehood, misleading and deceptive conduct and breaches of contract and director's duties. They also alleged Wilson threatened the Australian distributor of the film, Kismet, by seeking an injunction to block its release.
