Alex “Chumpy” Pullin - deceased; Ellidy’s former partner, Minnie’s father via post-mortem sperm retrieval. Olympian.
Chloe and Ellidy have been friends since high school. Ellidy was with Chumpy for 8ish years before his death by having a blackout while spear fishing. In the 36hrs following his death, his sperm was harvested and through IVF, Minnie was born some 16 months after his death. There was a lot of press/ profiles of Ellidy around this time due to the procedure still being very controversial.
Chloe has been with Fisher for 12+ years and his career has blown up massively in the last 6 years or so, they are now multi millionaires and travel around the world. Chloe and Fisher tried to conceive for almost 4 years and experienced rounds of failed IVF, miscarriages, elective surgeries and investigated surrogacy - which their extreme wealth was able to provide without any financial hardship.
Together, Chloe and Ellidy began a podcast, to navigate Ellidy’s grief about Chumpy’s death and Chloe’s grief around infertility. Originally the pod was supposed to help ALL women navigate grief and pain - but that went out the window pretty quickly as the minute these women felt a bit better, they revealed their true selves.
Ellidy has barely done a day of single parenting on her own in 2.5 years. She’s constantly dragging Minnie to adult events (including raves), or foisting her onto other people to look after while she’s gets on it. People go to Fisher concerts with pictures of Minnie on tshirts and placards - and the Fishers and their entourage actively encourage this, with no regard for Minnie’s safety, that maybe a crowd of 30k people (and the extended social media platform of 1.5M) should not have a parasocial relationship with a two year old, that it might be a very, bad idea.
Oh plus the two year old is constantly on boats without a life jacket, scooters in Bali without a helmet, in restaurants with adults at 10pm at night - all of which we know because they’re posting about it.
You never see her interact with other children.
Over to Chloe - she naturally fell pregnant late last year. After spending 4 years lecturing (often through tears) her platform about how not to trigger infertile women, she threw all her own advice out the window and has proudly made her whole personality “the only woman who has ever been pregnant” smug asshole.
Now, the ‘podcast about women’s grief and pain’ covers riveting topics like the Fisher’s private jet, Maccas, what they buy at the shops, the luxury wellness retreat they snuck chocolate into, Chloe whinging about pregnancy (so sensitive), Ellidy whinging she can’t fly a toddler to Europe in economy anymore, and constant shoutouts to brands they’d like to do sponsored content with.
Let me know if I missed anything people!
