Daily Mail Writer Goes Batshit Crazy With Ella Hooper Story

by Paul Cashmere on August 20, 2019

in News,Noise Pro

Is Daily Mail writer Candice Jackson stark raving mad or is the Daily Mail just full of hack writers who lack common decency?

The Daily Mail devoted an entire story by Jackson about Killing Heidi singer Ella Hooper looking “hardly recognisable almost 20 years after the release of the Australian rock band’s debut album Reflector”.

I wish Jackson would do a similar comparison on herself and put her Now against her Then so we can see if she is the same pup she started out as.

The irony of the hack piece is that Ella looks fabulous today as she prepares for her shows for Red Hot Summer 2019.

The story was even more ridiculous by suggesting Ella’s unrecognisable look was outed in a “rare interview”. Ella is, and always has been, high profile as well as one of the most respected members of the music industry. Her talents extend out of music into media and mentoring. In her twenty plus years in the business she has achieved success in every facet of the business she was worked in. She is a champion for women in the industry and one of the most generous contributors to the education of those coming up after her.

In an age of sensitivity it is incredible that anyone would have the audacity to write such crap, let alone another woman about a woman. Mind you, seeing it was in the Daily Mail it was not surprising but why would Jackson even agree to write such inane bullshit for this hack tabloid beggars belief.

You can see Killing Heidi for yourself on Red Hot Summer 2020 with Hunters & Collectors, James Reyne, The Living End, The Angels, Baby Animals and Boom Crash Opera.
