As the curtain closed on another stellar Commonwealth Games swimming campaign from the Australian Dolphins, one of the stars of the team has revealed how Kyle Chalmers's unwanted media attention and mental health struggles had rippled through the squad she describes as "a family".
"I think it potentially can affect us emotionally because they're our friends, they're teammates. We're like a family and we don't like seeing people upset and put through duress. "And we've come out here and done our best and done our country proud and I think the swimming does the talking. We've killed it this week and I hope that Australia is proud of our performance and we've done our absolute best for the country and we're going to go home with some extra luggage."
Grubby media out for a gotcha moment or sensationalist headline no matter the cost to people's lives, businesses or the country. 'Journalists' should be ashamed of themselves for participating, they have all become no more than participants in tabloid trash.
Media Can be grubs
The catch cry of any dysfunctional corporation with a super toxic work culture.
