"Did someone just leak the voice note? Can’t I imagine amassing such courage to confess to someone, and the voice note leaks? That would be terrible. Unless there’s a bit of a PR play. Ya ne."

"Why did you post this? Very unnecessary. Even if it was already leaked, you shouldn’t have posted this. You know very well that other comments will be critiquing and sensitive. Hai Phil, remove this man."
