Abbie Chatfield has now alleged that Brittany Hockley’s “slut shaming” has extended to more women than just herself.
Abbie Chatfield has now claimed that Brittany Hockley’s “slut shaming” extends to more than just her recent comments on Chatfield.
In response to Hockley’s Instagram post regarding the situation, Chatfield drafted and sent out a response of her own.
Here is Hockley’s original message from her Instagram:
“Hi Everyone, This is to address the post made by Abbie and the segment with Yung Gravy on radio.
Several weeks back when I was filling in for Jackie-O, Kyle and I interviewed Yung Gravy live on radio.
Firstly, I want to apologise for the undercurrent misogynistic tones that the interview had. The nature of live radio is unpredictable and often unplanned, which was the case with the direction that this conversation took.

Live on radio I found myself in a position where Abbie and I were pitted against each other. This was not planned, and this was not something I felt comfortable with and I thought by saying as little as possible in the interview it would not add any fire to the situation.
I see with hindsight that this was naive and contradictory to what I stand for.”
Abby then made two responses to Hockley’s apology, pasting both over Hockley’s statement.
“Sorry, but your internalised misogyny and insecurities (which resulted in your misogynistic comments) are the reason you felt “pitted” against me.
If another woman is mentioned in an interview, my reaction is not to lash out and feel like we are being compared, and in order to “win” slut shame them.
Live radio is hard, but if I say something off on air I message the person immediately. But you didn’t, showing you didn’t feel shameful after doing this, you only realised the VERY CLEAR ISSUE after I called you out on it.”
“Also! You didn’t say as little as possible. You added commentary. You weren’t silent. You asked if we had sexted after kyle asked if I had sent nudes, you brought me up 2 more times in total.
Don’t blame the segment and live radio. Again, if you can’t hold your own in that environment, maybe it isn’t for you.”
Here is Chatfield’s claim that Hockley’s slut shaming is a repeated behaviour:
“This is also, in my experience on [Bachelor in Paradise], a repeated behaviour. I won’t say more but this whole thing hasn’t been shocking to me,” she wrote.
