So Dramatic! with Megan Pustetto

On Sunday, Married at First Sight 2026 bride Brook Crompton officially announced her pregnancy. But by that point, it wasn’t news...

Because long before Brook had the chance to share her pregnancy on her own terms, multiple media outlets (led by the Daily Mail) had already reported on it for her — without her consent — treating private medical information like a "scoop." And that’s the real story. Not the pregnancy — but how it was reported.

In this episode, Megan unpacks one of the most disturbing examples of entertainment reporting in recent memory. From sensational headlines and inflammatory language to prejudicial framing steeped in implication, judgment, and shame, Megan breaks down how anonymous speculation was presented as fact, despite no verification, justification or consideration of harm, and how Brook was villainised, despite no evidence of wrongdoing. We'll examine how this coverage crossed ethical lines, and why pregnancy reporting demands a far higher standard of care.

Content warning: This episode includes discussion of pregnancy-related privacy violations.

What does it take for women to finally be believed? In 2026, that question shouldn’t still feel radical — and yet, here we are…

In this episode, Megan examines the backlash that followed So Dramatic!’s reporting on allegations made by multiple former partners of I’m A Celebrity 2026 star Luke Bateman, and what that reaction reveals about who society instinctively protects when women speak out.

After several women independently contacted Megan with strikingly similar accounts of emotional abuse, manipulation, coercive behaviour, aggression, and volatility — experiences they say severely impacted their mental health and left them traumatised — many chose to remain anonymous out of fear. The online response was swift and telling.

Rather than interrogating the alleged behaviour, much of the scrutiny shifted to discrediting the women who spoke out… and the female journalist who reported on it.

Even when the sister of Luke’s former fiancée came forward publicly — going on the record to support the reported accounts and share further allegations of emotional abuse and financial harm — significant resistance to believing women remained.

In this episode, Megan:
Carefully unpacks the allegations shared by Luke’s former partners
Examines the claims made publicly by the sister of his ex-fiancée
Breaks down the public reaction and misogynistic double standards at play
Addresses misinformation and personal attacks directed at her reporting
Explores the dangers of confusing a curated public persona with private behaviour
Asks why belief still feels so conditional when it comes to women

Megan also responds to criticism of her reporting and addresses why she left Nova Podcasts following coverage involving Luke’s I’m A Celebrity co-star, Matt Zukowski.

This story is bigger than one man. It’s about power, accountability and a system designed to protect men and punish women — and why believing women still seems harder than defending the men accused.

Content warning: This episode includes discussion of abuse and violence against women. Listener discretion is advised.

After it was revealed that Married at First Sight 2026 bride Gia Fleur had used several names over the years, the Drama Army uncovered an audio track from her past rap career — launched under one of her many aliases, Goldie Volpe — and today, you’ll hear it in full…

But that’s just the beginning. In this episode, we also uncover:

Evidence that she repeatedly used racial slurs in writing, in music, and on social media
Claims that she adopted and performed a different cultural identity as part of her ‘Goldie Volpe’ persona
A self-made fan page dedicated to promoting her own rap alter ego
Media and career credits she publicly claimed — that don’t appear to stack up
Offensive tweets from her former Twitter account
Another modelling profile created under another alias

We carefully examine the timeline, the online footprint, and the broader implications of identity, branding, and accountability. Receipts included here.

While Married at First Sight 2026 bride Gia Fleur has been refreshingly open about parts of her past — including her former sugar baby lifestyle and that she's a mother — it appears there may be far more to her story than viewers and her husband, Scott McCristal, currently realise...

We’re talking:
Multiple identities
A long history of reinvention
Persistent attempts at chasing fame
A Hollywood era with connections to Hugh Hefner, Nicki Minaj, French Montana and Drake
An unexpected rap music career
And a secret past that raises questions

In this episode, Megan walks you through everything she's uncovered so far — from Gia’s personal history to the carefully curated persona now playing out on national television that is world's apart from her real identity. Because the deeper we dig, the bigger the question becomes: Who is the real Gia Fleur?

As we’re told every single year, the Married At First Sight experiment is about matching unlucky-in-love singles who just can’t seem to find their person. Well… that’s the story they sell us, anyway....

Because it turns out one groom didn’t just struggle to find love — he already had it!

MAFS 2026 groom Scott McCristal walked down the aisle to marry his TV bride, Gia Fleur, while still legally married to another woman!

In this episode, So Dramatic! speaks exclusively to Scott’s actual wife, Marisa, who reveals:
how she found out her husband was marrying another woman on national television
how they met and why their marriage broke down,
and what it was like watching him say “I do” while she was still legally tied to him.

She also weighs in on why she believes Scott really went on MAFS — and spoiler alert: it wasn’t for love!

This episode is messy, jaw-dropping, and raises some very uncomfortable questions about Channel Nine’s casting process and background checks...
