She confirmed that she “did not leave the resort.” The Aussie influencer and her family were on a holiday in Bali. Next, she asserted that she had not attended any such massage appointment, as the internet had previously highlighted.
Skye also revealed that the hotel room was within her direct line of sight. Meaning, she could monitor her baby even without the baby monitor, which was also set up.

Since posting the apology on TikTok, her fans flooded the comment section with love and support. Many acknowledged her apology and claimed that, despite her mistake, she was still a wonderful mother.
