After The Bachelorette finale aired last week, radio host Kate Langbroek was one of the first people to interview Sophie Monk and Stu Laundy on her KIIS FM show, Hughesy and Kate.
It… didn’t exactly go well.
Later that day Langbroek posted a screenshot of them on Instagram with the caption, “She hates him”. She also added the hashtags #poorsophie #itsdone.
Media outlets very quickly deduced that Langbroek didn’t believe Laundy and Monk’s loved-up status was the real deal, because, well… she wasn’t exactly subtle about it.
Meshel Laurie, who interviewed the couple on The Project the same evening, appeared to share Langbroek’s sentiment when she re-posted her image with the caption “Thank God for (Kate Langbroek)”.
But now the plot thickens.
Stu Laundy appeared on the Kyle and Jackie O show on Tuesday morning to tell his side of the whole saga, accusing Langbroek and Laurie of having “their knives out for me”.
Laundy explained that Friday was one of the busiest days he’s ever had, made more difficult by people doing their jobs “shooting” difficult questions at him.
Laundy said he felt uncomfortable when Laurie straight out asked on The Project if he and Monk were still together, resulting in an awkward televised exchange between the couple.
“It was pretty rude actually, but I was on live TV I just wanted to make a joke of it,” Laundy said.
