Kate emphasized the importance of blocking out negative energy from critics and not giving them attention.
Oliver had previously discussed the “trauma” he experienced in his childhood during an episode of the podcast.

After his comments made headlines, Oliver issued a clarification on the podcast to address any misunderstandings. He explained that his words had been taken out of context and that he was speaking more about his childhood feelings rather than his current feelings towards his mother. Oliver expressed his deep love and respect for his mother, emphasizing that he couldn’t imagine who he would be without her. Kate joked about how she knew immediately that Oliver’s statements would be perceived in a certain way, teasing her brother for using “clickbait words” in his initial comments on the podcast.
Kate also reflected on the challenges of being a celebrity and dealing with online criticism. She admitted that at first, she didn’t care about negative comments, but after some thought, she realized the impact it could have. Kate acknowledged the energy it takes for someone to criticize others and emphasized the importance of not giving them any attention. She encouraged blocking out negative energy from critics and focusing on the positive aspects of life.
