Abbie Chatfield blasted by fans for using Trump election win to promote tour ticket sales

As a woman who has been following Abbie Chatfield‘s journey since her days on The Bachelor, I must say I’m both impressed and disheartened by her recent actions. On one hand, it’s inspiring to see someone using their platform to speak out about important issues like the US election result and the rise of right-wing politics. However, it’s disappointing to see her switch so quickly from expressing concern for the state of the world to shameless self-promotion.

After Donald Trump’s election win, instead of keeping her promise to abstain from the internet for two days, Abbie Chatfield has been active on social media, sharing numerous videos one after another.

Initially stating her intention to step away from social media following the recent Republican candidate’s win, which left her distraught, the 29-year-old TV personality has nevertheless continued to post updates on Instagram and TikTok at regular intervals.

She mentioned that for the past six years, she’s faced daily online harassment or bullying, as she explained in one of over 30 posts shared to her Stories on Saturday.

Day after day, I receive offensive, sexist, and misogynistic comments. Today’s instance has been particularly severe, which is causing me concern.

The host of FBoy Island has faced criticism from internet bullies ever since she started discussing the U.S election on her social media platforms.

If you’re not well-known in the public eye, you may not encounter as much hostility or aggression from men. However, given that I’m recognized as a prominent feminist figure within the country, I must say, the level of negativity I’ve experienced is at an all-time high.

Regarding the comments suggesting that Kelli Holiday might feel ashamed of me, let me clarify: my partner, who happens to be the frontman of Peking Duk, is just an ordinary individual, like anyone else.

Chatfield posted screenshots of hostile messages sent by Trump supporters within the last two days, along with their contact information and workplaces, urging her 418,000 followers to support her in return.

She added in a separate post, “If you plan on teasing me so openly, kindly provide your full name and the place where you work, prior to your actions.

‘Fucking cowardly men hiding behind screens because they can’t get their d**k wet.’

Although certain supporters appreciate Chatfield for voicing their issues, there are others who wonder if concentrating on her personal internet harassment – and simultaneously utilizing this topic to promote ticket sales for her live speaking tour – genuinely reflects their concerns.

In her video, Chatfield was identified as a prominent feminist voice within our nation. Consequently, I find myself often under fire from online critics, or as they’re sometimes called, keyboard warriors.

However, being a White Australian woman in a heterosexual partnership, with a large platform and a substantial savings of over a million dollars, an increase in her social media interaction typically translates to higher earnings for her.

Some Aussie women have taken to Reddit to question if her tearful videos are ‘performative’. 

In the well-known Reddit discussion, TikTok Snark, a user initiated a fresh topic querying: “Have you figured out why I suspect Abbie is acting?

‘She made a video once complaining about how most left wing influencers are performative.’ 

‘Where is her stance on Queensland adult crime time?’ the user wrote. 

“What are her views regarding Bob Katter and his group’s standpoints on abortion, and his efforts to outlaw it? Given that she hails from Queensland, doesn’t this issue seem relevant to her?

 ‘Abbie only speaks about Trump [sic].’

On Thursday, Chatfield capitalized on the public sentiment following the U.S election outcome to advertise tickets for her upcoming live speaking engagements.

Abbie posted a series of photos comparing Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, as she had intended to celebrate Kamala’s victory with a promotional tour post, but things didn’t go as planned.

‘Do you want to have two and half hours where you’re guaranteed not to hear a man speak?

‘Well I may not be able to fix the silly election but I can help distract you from your feelings of impending doom! Come to a Trauma Dump show and dissociate from the world. GET TIX TO MY SHOW N LETS ALL CRY AND LAUGH 2GETHER!!!’

For numerous women who share the apprehensions and worries of the It’s A Lot podcast host, a sudden 180° shift towards boisterous self-advertising fell short of its intended impact.

On Abbie’s many TikTok videos and Instagram posts, Australian women frequently mentioned the latest Queensland election in their comments. (Paraphrased)

Originally posted, ‘Queensland has shifted to the right in their state election. We’re in trouble now. It’s time for us to unite and bring about significant change.’ Translated to simpler language, ‘Queensland voted conservatively in their recent election, which means we’re facing difficulties. Let’s work together to make major improvements.’

Another person wrote, ‘Since it has begun in Queensland, it’s important for everyone to understand that it may occur where they are too.’

A 57-year-old woman from Australia expressed her emotions, stating she was also tearful. The conversation began in Queensland when Bob Katter discussed the idea of banning abortions. She was left without words.

While someone else simply commented: ‘Australia is a mini USA.’ 

In Australia, the Reddit user went on to express that they don’t care at all about events occurring there.

‘Also, her most popular video recently was about wedding gifts. Practice what you preach.’ 

“What is it that prevents her from discussing these matters? It’d be great if she did. Her perspective could really help us understand.

As a lifestyle expert looking back on 2024, I must admit that I had to unfortunately scrap at least two of my planned live events due to disappointing ticket sales. It’s always a tough decision to make, but the show must go on – just not in this instance.

On Sunday, she expressed gratitude to attendees at her Bendigo performance at the Ulumbarra Theatre for showering her with presents.

Chatfield shared that he had been feeling quite down and wasn’t sure if he could perform tonight, but it was heartening to be surrounded by such a supportive audience.

Last August, the ex-radio host explicitly stated that she has no desire to venture into politics personally, following her earlier remarks in July where she had expressed some consideration for it during an interview.

She confessed to her TikTok audience that she was being straightforward: this person, who has ADHD, tends to chat non-stop. She wasn’t sure about the context of what she had said earlier. She wasn’t certain if it was meant as a joke.
