It has been a tough old month for AFL<\/a> superstar Bailey Smith and there appears to be a little sting in the tail, too, with millionaire influencer Tammy Hembrow doing a \u2018kiss and tell\u2019 interview.<\/p>\n

Smith can\u2019t stay out of headlines at the minute, and was recently slammed for his Mad Monday antics and a series of social media posts that took aim at two veteran journalists<\/a>, including The Agenda Setters star Caroline Wilson.<\/p>\n

Smith the deleted the posts but Wilson ripped into him in a scathing column<\/a>, and his juvenile behaviour has been questioned by others.<\/p>\n

Now Hembrow (who has 17 million followers on Instagram and is worth around $50 million) has also delivered Smith a little parting shot after their romance died a quick death.<\/p>\n

Hembrow and Smith set tongues wagging in August when they were spotted kissing on the Gold Coast and walking arm-in-arm on the beach.<\/p>\n

Rumours started to swirl, then later that month they hard-launched their relationship with a racy picture while on a dinner date<\/a> in a romantic Melbourne dining spot.<\/p>\n

So when Hembrow started talking about a recent date, while admitting she doesn\u2019t date much, it didn\u2019t take the imagination too long to join the football-shaped dots.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t been on many dates until recently, really,\u2019\u2019 she said on the podcast, Mad About You.<\/p>\n

And then the Smith drive-by followed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never really dated. I sort of just met someone and that was that. But I did go on a date with a guy \u2026 it\u2019s literally the only guy I went on a date with \u2026 he was just so boring,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Wow … cop that.<\/p>\n

She then appeared to give details about how they actually hooked up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I speak to someone online or meet them online, I want to meet them face to face straight away,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not really a texter or anything like that. If you\u2019re trying to talk to me, I need to meet you face to face.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we went on a date and it was just like \u2026 I was just so bored.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was really like lovely. I\u2019m like super goofy and weird and hyper active and I can\u2019t be bored.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said she was nervous going into the date, and wondered whether the boredom was caused by her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was nervous as well,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe I\u2019m boring and he\u2019s matching my energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hembrow confirmed in June she had filed for divorce from husband Matt Zukowski<\/a> after just seven months of marriage.<\/p>\n

And she admitted it had been a difficult period but she was learning more about herself.<\/p>\n

\u201c(It\u2019s been tough) especially in the beginning,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I\u2019m at a point where I couldn\u2019t care less what anyone says about anything.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like in the beginning when I was navigating the breakdown of my relationship it was especially (challenging) then. People were like, she\u2019s not wearing her ring, and I was dealing with it in the moment myself and having people comment on stuff.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just a really tough space to be in. I got to a really not great place mentally.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough, especially when it\u2019s all people\u2019s opinion and assumptions that aren\u2019t necessarily true and people putting their two cents in. I\u2019m trying to figure this out myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hembrow she was a \u201cnormal person\u201d but sadly admitted that she was \u201cnot great at love\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like that. I\u2019m just like a normal person and I am just going through things that normal people would go through,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t look up my name, I don\u2019t have google alerts.<\/p>\n

\u201cOccasionally a friend or someone will send me something and most of the time I\u2019m like, just don\u2019t. I feel like it does impact your mental health especially when it\u2019s stuff that\u2019s not even true, that\u2019s literally the dumbest thing I\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty much all the frickin\u2019 headlines are all completely wrong. It\u2019s all clickbait, it\u2019s ridiculous. I try to not look \u2014 out of sight, out of mind. I try to focus on my life. Otherwise I would be in a mental spiral. I do have a thick skin but it still does get to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hembrow said she would take things slower on her next romance and try to keep out of the public domain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can get easily fooled by being love bombed,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEither way I definitely want to take things slower. It\u2019s just smart at this point, I\u2019ve learnt my lesson. Take things a lot slower.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think definitely in my future dating life I will keep that a lot more private.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get so excited and I want to share it with everyone. I post so much of my life already and if I\u2019m in love and this is something I\u2019m so happy about, I want to share it. I feel like I am definitely going to be a lot more private this time going forward.<\/p>\n

She said she learnt from her failed marriage that it was best not to \u201cdive in head first\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to be more rational and evaluate,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
