Pete Evans has bragged he played 60 Minutes like a “game of chess”, after his segment last night was almost universally panned.
… and from his own recording of the interview.knew Evans was also filming the interview – the footage he has shared shows him in profile, rather than the close-up front-on shots shown in Nine’s promo for the interview.
News.com.au has approached Nine for comment about Evans’ move to air his own version of the interview.’ Pete Evans profile was part of a wider story about the proliferation of conspiracy theories about coronavirus, and saw the celeb chef shy away from voicing some of the more extreme conspiracy theories he’s shared on social media in recent weeks.
Hayes asked Evans if he believed the coronavirus conspiracy theory he had shared on social media suggesting billionaire Bill Gates was somehow responsible for the virus. “I visited my mum through this whole thing, and I asked her, ‘Mum, can I give you a hug? And can you granddaughters give you a hug?’ That, that action alone. F**k that. That is what being human is about. And if I have to live in a society where I can’t hug my mum, because I’ve been told it’s unsafe … she was allowed to make the decision. Whether we hugged her or not. I said, ‘This is your decision, but we’re here for you.’ And she f**king needed it. She needed that.
