621: Love Island’s Cooper Benson: Violent Past, Guilty Plea & Channel Nine’s Casting Failures, Damage Control & Cover-Up!

Season 6

In this episode, we unpack the full timeline behind Love Island Australia 2025 contestant Cooper Benson's recent violent attack: the assault, the evidence, his guilty plea, the sentencing outcome — plus his awkward on-camera responses and worrying social-media interactions! Plus, we pull back the curtain on Channel Nine's latest vetting fail (with very real consequences) and their damage-control tactics to cover it up, with some very telling evidence!

PLUS LOTS MORE!
