‘It made me wonder if this whole thing has been a bit of publicity stunt, because Bailey Smith is one of the most popular AFL players and it coincides with Cartia releasing her podcast,’ they said.
‘She’s obviously got to create that momentum, because people are going to listen to the first episode, but it’s really hard to get people back in for a second episode, and what better way than to tease that you’re going to be interviewing this potential new boyfriend.’
They added: ‘I actually don’t think they’re dating at all.’
