So Dramatic! with Megan Pustetto

Hey Drama Army! Just popping into your feeds with a little taste of a brand new show we recently launched on the Kind Regards Network: 'The Big Sister Hotline' - hosted by acclaimed writer, broadcaster and absolute feminist powerhouse Clementine Ford. 

Each week, Clem dishes out the kind of sisterly advice you may not want to hear but definitely need to, answering the messy, urgent questions you’re too scared to ask your mates: from love, boundaries, body image, workplace bullshit, sex, politics and everything else in between. Expect brutal clarity, warm tough love, and the kind of truth bombs that make you rethink what you’ve been taught.

Her latest episode - “How Do You Find the Energy to Smash the Patriarchy When the Patriarchy Smashes You?” is an absolute must-listen. A listener writes in about being burned out and betrayed by patriarchal bullshit in the workplace, and Clem digs into the moral injury of doing everything “right” inside a system rigged to protect men and bearing the impossible weight of fighting the patriarchy from within its walls. She talks about the grief of being punished for resistance, rage, resilience, and the stubborn little fire that keeps us rising even when we’re exhausted. It's like a f*ck you, a pep talk and a hug all in one!

We've arrived at the final instalment of MAFS 2025's Sierah Swepstone's explosive tell-all...

In Part 9, Sierah reveals:

• The extreme lengths Channel Nine & Endemol Shine Australia went to to protect their fictional 'cheating scandal' narrative + Sierah drops texts, call logs & medical documents which prove her innocence!
• The SECOND disturbing phone call she received from Daily Mail's Ali Daher, which further exposes his unethical relationship with the show!
• The coordinated attempt to silence, gaslight, and set her up for public humiliation!

PLUS... Sierah sets the record straight on the ambulance/paparazzi/front-page Daily Mail photos saga:

• The terrifying chain of events that led to police knocking down her door with an ambulance in tow!
• Her forced admission to a psychiatric unit which was papped by Daily Mail
• PLUS, we find out: Who called the cops? Who called the paps? Who benefited from making her story headline news? Who preyed on her when she was at her most vulnerable? What cruel comments did her co-stars make in the wake of it? And what impact has it had on her?

This is no longer just reality-TV gossip - this is an alleged systemic failure of extremely unethical and immoral media behaviour, corruption, institutional gaslighting and betrayal, misogyny, extreme abuses of power, gross breaches of privacy, negligence that put Sierah in severe danger, and potentially even unlawful conduct.

PLUS LOTS MORE...

After Sierah Swepstone bravely opened up about her traumatic, non-consensual encounter with Billy Belcher on MAFS in Part 3 of her exclusive tell-all, her co-star Awhina Rutene went on to publicly victim-blame her—claiming Sierah is “not a victim” and accusing her of lying—and fans were not here for it...

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking Awhina’s shocking comments, her audacity, and why this kind of behaviour is so harmful to survivors everywhere! Plus, Sierah delivers a legendary clapback! Plus, we’ve got some jaw-dropping leaked messages from Awhina that take this drama to a whole new level!

We’re diving into the latest developments from the never-ending saga that is MAFS' Awhina's antics - from the shade she’s been throwing to her hypocritical behaviour and her love of defending problematic men and shitting all over women! I've got even more receipts to spill, and I'll be clapping back at Awhina (again!) with some shade of my own!

Following Episode 610, where several of her co-stars exposed her clout-chasing antics and revealed she'd been dropped by her manager, Awhina wasted no time hitting back - literally. Attacking me, the Drama Army, Sierah, and of course, Jacqui, in the comments section on our Instagram... and yes, it got heated. Even Ryan and Adrian weighed in!

Plus, exclusive source intel that completely debunks her attempts to dunk on our original claims!

Plus, the "abusive" phone call she made to a co-star for "leaking information" to us following our episode, which Awhina ironically claimed was "all lies"...

Your "villain" has arrived! Married at First Sight 2025 bride Sierah Swepstone is here to finally break her silence and set the record straight on her "traumatic" experience on the show and everything that's happened since...

In Part 4 of this explosive mini-series, Sierah opens up about why she initially downplayed her alleged non-consensual encounter with husband Billy Belcher as a “drunken fumble” and shares the trauma response that followed... She also reveals what happened when she tried to raise her concerns with Billy—and production!

Sierah also spills the tea on the shocking ‘double date’ with Adrian and Awhina—despite their claims that she and Adrian were “cheating”—where Billy allegedly tried to orchestrate a “wife swap” and even flirted with Awhina’s twin sister Cleo right in front of her!

She also dives into the Intruder Weddings chaos, including the sexually degrading comments Billy made about her to the other grooms!

Plus more on his alleged abuse, DARVO tactics, smear campaigns, and the mistreatment she endured from co-stars!
