Anthony Albanese has said sorry to Kylie Minogue following his recent comments.
Kylie Minogue has received an apology from Australia’s prime minister over comments he recently made on a podcast.
Anthony Albanese apologized “unequivocally” to the chart-topping pop star after naming Kylie during a game of “s***, marry, and avoid” on a comedy podcast.
During a rapid-fire question round on the Bush Deep podcast, Albanese was asked to rank Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman, and Rhonda Burchmore. He responded, “I just got married… I’m only six months in.”
Host Nikki Osborne replied, “But if it all goes t*** up, let’s just pretend…”
Albanese answered, “Kylie, clearly.”
Osborne then sought further clarification, asking, “You’d marry Kylie, s*** her, and date her?”
Albanese responded, “All of the above,” adding, “She’s terrific.”
The comments quickly sparked a minor controversy, prompting Albanese to issue a public apology to the award-winning singer.
Albanese, who has served as Australia’s 31st prime minister since 2022, said in a statement: “I apologize unequivocally for the comments.”
Meanwhile, Kylie has previously admitted that the pressures of fame and success have taken a toll on her mental health.
The 58-year-old singer has enjoyed a decades-long pop career, but she acknowledges that it hasn’t always been easy.
She told Rolling Stone UK: “What I think is great for a lot of people now is that there’s a discussion about mental health and the toll [fame] can take on people. I had that, I lived that.”
Kylie also said she has become increasingly conscious of the need to protect the safety and well-being of her friends and family.
The former soap star, who is the older sister of singer Dannii Minogue, explained: “I was able to manage that myself and with my family and close friends and navigate those waters. It wasn’t a decision [to stay private], it was a reaction to protect myself and to protect my family because they would go through it with you.”
She added that she has adopted a “common sense” approach to maintaining her privacy.
“I can really go from doing a full kind of blitz of doing it all and then stop and recalibrate,” she said.
