Kyle Sandilands and his stand-in host Brittany Hockley have been called out by Abbie Chatfield for “slut shaming” her.
Hockley is presenting the Kyle and Jackie O Show alongside Sandilands while Jackie O is on sick leave. The pair recently conducted an interview with American rapper Yung Gravy who revealed that he had a date with Chatfield lined up.
“Oh Jesus. Do you? So you and everyone else,” Kyle commented, adding: “line up, my friend, line up”.
Hockley added, “I have no doubt.”
Now, Chatfield has called out the two hosts, claiming that they are being “real slut-shamey” about her.
“Kyle is starting all this tone but (for Brittany) to go along with the tone because you have nothing more, sorry, nothing funny to say but like slut shame and say, ‘I have no doubt you’re going on a date with her,” Chatfield said on her podcast It’s A Lot.

She added, “Kyle, you have no idea about my sexual habits unless you listen to the podcast.”
“My reaction would be self deprecating, not to be attacking.”
“It’s high school weird sh*t and it’s also like, encouraging women to pit themselves against each other.”
Chatfield pointed out that she believes she is “slut shamed” because she is open about taking about sex and sexuality.
“The issue that people like Kyle and Brittany have with me is that I’m able to speak about sexuality in a way that isn’t shameful, and they think that that must equate to f*cking around every single day and having sex every single day when actually it’s just that I don’t have the shame that they have and therefore they’re projecting it on to me.”
The reality star added that while she expected the comment from Sandilands, she was surprised about Hockley’s response.
“At best, I think Britt is feeling uncomfortable and is nervous about being with Kyle and it going along with it.”
“At worst, she’s having this weird jealousy thing and trying to bring me down,” she said.
