Aussie pop sensations The Veronicas allegedly begged to have an awkward interview “killed” after it went badly.
The twins were promoting their new album Gothic Summer during an interview with British newspaper The Guardian when they seemingly became unhappy with how it was going.
What began as a friendly interview slowly spiralled, with Lisa and Jessica Origliasso’s answers becoming shorter and shorter until they were refusing to answer questions altogether.
Journalist Katie Cunningham revealed the pair’s manager, Jess’s fiancee Alex, was sitting in on the interview.
“Alex has held the role officially for the last six months, after two years of self-management. Part of the job description, Jess laughs, is to ‘try to shut us up and stop us from having opinions’.
“And Alex does make her presence felt,” continued Cunningham. “At one point, I ask about the well-documented year the sisters didn’t speak, and she pauses her breakfast to interrupt: ‘You don’t have to answer. These are not approved topics.’ But while sometimes specific subjects are flagged as off-limits before an interview is agreed to, that didn’t happen here; I’d been told in advance ‘some personal questions are OK’, and that they wanted to focus on their music.”
When Cunningham brings up the duo’s short-lived Aussie reality series The Veronicas: Blood is For Life, she’s quickly dismissed, with the band’s manager saying: “I don’t think we need to talk about the reality show.”
Jess then interjected: “It was a joke. It was a dramatised version of our lives,” before going on to flatout refuse to discuss when the band split in 2017 for a year.
To make matters worse, the duo had taken photographs specifically for the interview – shot by Jess’ husband US photographer Tyler Shields – but the band allegedly failed to make the shoot available in time for publication.
After the interview came to an end, there appeared to be some frustration behind the scenes that sparked the band’s publicist to reach out to Cunningham personally and make a shocking demand.

“The interview doesn’t end as friendly as it began, and within about 20 minutes I get a call from one publicist. And an email from another.”
It turns out the singers had decided they would prefer if the interview wasn’t published at all, with the interviewer revealing: “I’m told the Veronicas would like the profile killed.”
Perhaps sadly for the Aussie duo, whose new album has been called “a return to form”, their request was denied by The Guardian.
