Tammy Hembrow grilled over infamous Kylie Jenner birthday party collapse as she denies financial troubles after listing mansion for sale

Tammy Hembrow has called Los Angeles 'a bit of a dark place with some dark people' as she spoke about her infamous collapse at Kylie Jenner's 21st birthday party over the weekend during a game of answer-or-shot with the Outspoken Podcast.

The 32-year-old fitness influencer also denied speculation she was struggling financially after listing her mansion for sale, opened up about closing her activewear label Saski and shut down rumours she is pregnant with boyfriend Grayson Te Moana.

But it was a question about her headline-making exit from Kylie's 2018 birthday celebrations that left her hesitant to answer.

'I don't wanna get messy,' Tammy said as others encouraged her to speak or take a shot of alcohol.

She initially struggled to find the words, saying: 'I feel like there's a… Oh, I don't wanna…'

Tammy then offered a pointed assessment of her time in the US city. 

'I just feel like to me, LA is a bit of a dark place,' she said.

'And there's some dark people.'

She added: 'Hence why I haven't been back there for a hot minute.'

Tammy did not identify anyone or explain what she meant by the remarks, before declaring: 'I'm just gonna take a shot.'

Another speaker then asked whether she thought she had been drugged.

'I think I was,' said Tammy, before another speaker interjected. 

She did not complete the thought or provide further details in the supplied exchange.

The conversation moved to others recalling their surprise at seeing her incapacitated.

'After that happened, Lucy and I literally said… "This is off, because that girl can f***ing party,"' one speaker said.

Tammy made international headlines in August 2018 when she was photographed lying face-down on a stretcher outside West Hollywood hotspot Delilah during Kylie's star-studded birthday celebrations. 

She has previously spoken about the personal toll of the incident, telling Stellar magazine it marked a low point in her life.

'I kept telling myself there is only up from here,' she told the publication, saying she had consumed only 'one or two' drinks.

'It was a very dark time and I had to shut out the trolls and the hate I was getting.'

She also documented the experience in her book, Show Up.

In her original explanation following the party, Tammy said she had been severely sleep-deprived and was already feeling unwell before drinking.

'I probably, definitely shouldn't have been drinking because of how jet-lagged and exhausted I was, and I already wasn't feeling well,' she said at the time.

'I was struggling to stay awake even when I had my hair and makeup done… I could barely keep my eyes open.'

Elsewhere during the live appearance, Tammy addressed speculation about her finances after putting her home on the market.

Asked whether she was selling, she confirmed: 'I am.'

However, Tammy explained she had wanted to move for some time and was looking for more outdoor space.

'Oh, I have wanted to sell it for, like, a long time,' she said.

'And I just want some land. I want some chickens. Sass wants a pony.'

Her plans also include more room for her children to play.

'I want to, like, build a playground in the backyard. I wanna have, like, a yard,' she added.

The questioning then became considerably more blunt.

'Are you poor, is what people wanna know,' she was asked.

'No,' Tammy replied, before another speaker added: 'She's not poor.'

Tammy was equally frank about closing Saski, admitting the decision had come as a relief.

'So good,' she said when asked how she felt about shutting the business.

'Honestly, best thing I, like, did career-wise.'

Despite her affection for the label, Tammy admitted she felt she should have walked away sooner.

'Like, I loved it so much, but it was, towards the end I felt like I should've ended it, like, a few years before,' she explained.

'Like, it was just draining me.'

She said navigating her divorce had added to the pressure.

'I was going through my divorce and everything, and I was like, 'It's too much.'

Tammy announced her separation from former Love Island star Matt Zukowski after seven months of marriage.

Looking back on the business, she added: 'I'm so glad I closed it, but it was a beautiful chapter.'

The personal questions continued when Tammy was asked about pregnancy speculation during the answer-or-shot game.

'Guys, I'm so nervous. I'm sorry,' she admitted.

But when asked, 'Truth, are you pregnant?' her response was immediate.

'Definitely not pregnant.'

'I'll prove it right now,' she added, prompting chants of 'Prove it!' from the crowd.
