Georgia's retreat from the spotlight

The new gig comes after a significant break in the public eye for Georgia, when she faced severe backlash after being accused of racism.

The 'Everybody Has an Ex' podcast host caused controversy in 2021 when she posted a video to her Instagram account of a cat in the window of an Asian restaurant, with the caption, "shop attendant or lunch?!’.

Georgia quickly deleted and apologised for the video, but the backlash was swift and she later said she struggled to cope with the intensity of it.

She left her TV career at Channel Seven and took up a job in public relations. In an interview with Stellar magazine in 2022, she said people should be able to "say sorry, show they are sorry, and move on".

"If we have a world where nobody is making any mistakes, then show me behind the curtain… because that’s just not possible," Georgia said.
