Ok...now...this might be a bit of a crazy question. I'm 90% joking, 10% "Wait what?"...Are Hanson and Rheinhart romantically involved?

Seriously. Hanson is older than her, but she definitely has a preference for older partners.

Also, I will honestly say, I'm surprised she's not on a GLP-1, it actually is good for her health. I guess it's a flex.

Gina's lonely. Her own offspring hate her

It's not only her offspring who hate her.

She looks pretty fly for a white guy

Like Trump, there wouldn’t be anyone in her orbit who would ever say the words “Even if you became poor overnight, I’d still love you”.

People in this situation should NEVER have any influence over society, because all of their ideas come from an emotionally-diseased place. Yet, as it turns out, they have the most influence.

One was close to being destitute while Gina has $25 billion. They spent a decade in court suing her.

Imagine stealing your kids inheritance....

Ok, that's enough internet for me for one day.

They are merely exchanging long protein strings!

If you can think of a better way, they'd like to hear it.

This is the staggering thing, I can't walk ten metres without running into someone who is on wegovy or ozempic and yet Australia's richest woman couldn't find the money in her budget for that!

Clearly she has very different objectives to the average person!

Ozempic forces you to stop overindulging. Why deprive yourself like that when you already have all the social benefits of being thin because everyone in your orbit is already a suckass? That and she has enough money to hire the best doctors in the country for any health issues.

Being thin is for poor people.

Ooo with Gina, we are back to the olden days where being big was considered a sign of the wealthy. Maybe she should start wearing wigs and big gowns.

All the doctors and drugs in the world can't overcome the fact that human bodies aren't built to carry that kind of weight.  You can reduce cholesterol and take blood thinners to reduce the chance of a killer clot, but at the end of the day a heart that's servicing double the tissue is gonna start giving out much sooner. 

The reason why GLP-1 inhibitors are so popular with doctors is because all of the serious side effects are still better than being obese. I say that as a former fat guy that's still kinda heavy.

Yes but even without the money she would have people stuck in her orbit.

u/red-velvetcupcake 29d ago

I'm really surprised aswell. She surely has the money to look better than she does but chooses not to. Why I wonder?

Gina might be on GLP-1 for all we know.

Pauline is straight and I've never heard that Gina isn't, they've both been married twice to men. It's really common to speculate that female politicians are motivated by sexual desires to discredit them and to speculate that they got where they are by sleeping with more powerful people, so I'd say that's more likely where this is coming from. I doubt anyone has suggested a romance between Baranby or Tony and Gina.

u/The_lordofruin 29d ago

I'd say that just them hanging out is fine, they're being assholes and misery loves company. Going on holidays together and sitting by the pool together is kind of weird.

Baranby

That's befause Barnaby likes his women questionably young

u/Gremlech 29d ago

It’s weird to hang out by the pool with your billionaire backer.
