Abbie Chatfield’s feud with Brittany Hockley threatens to escalate at podcast awards following ‘slut-shaming’ row
After a years-long feud, rivals Abbie Chatfield and Brittany Hockley will cross paths on the red carpet at the Australian Podcast Awards in Sydney on Tuesday.
The pair are competing for the award for Best Sex and Relationship Podcast, with all eyes on the former reality co-stars following their very public ‘slut-shaming’ feud.
Abbie’s It’s a Lot podcast is nominated for the first time as it goes up against Brittany and Laura Byrne’s Life Uncut podcast.
Other nominees for the category include Sex Therapy: Sessions with Chantelle Otten, Talking Frank, The Hook Up and What To Expect When You’re Injecting.
Abbie, 28, hit out at the Life Uncut podcast host, 35, in December last year after she accused Brittany of slut-shaming her on live radio.

Chatfield became furious when she found out Brittany had joked about her dating life during an interview with American rapper Yung Gravy on KIIS FM in November last year.
While Brittany’s then-co-host Kyle Sandilands was the one to moderate the conversation, Abbie said Britt was complicit in his “misogyny” by refusing to say anything.
Brittany publicly apologized, but Abbie mentioned the gesture insufficient, saying it only showed Brittany’s “internalized misogyny.”
She also scolded Britt for not standing up to her co-host Kyle when he said Yung Gravy would have to stand in line if he wanted to date her.
Brittany posted a statement on Instagram after the interview aired, apologizing for her involvement in the interview.
Brittany added that she had always been an advocate for women’s empowerment.

“I would like to apologize for the underlying misogynistic tone the interview had,” she began.
“The nature of live radio is unpredictable and often unplanned, which was the case with the direction the conversation took. Live on the radio, I was in a position where Abbie and I were on opposite sides.”
Abbie complained about Brittany during her podcast following the incident.
She told listeners that after starring alongside Brittany on the Bachelor in Paradise dating show in 2020, she wasn’t “surprised” by her comments.
The Fboy Island host later hit back at Brittany’s apology, saying it was insufficient and only showed Brittany’s “internalized misogyny.”
