Abbie Chatfield has been branded ‘cheap’ and a ‘tight a**’ after admitting she doesn’t give gifts to newlyweds at weddings.
The former Bachelor star, 29, shared a video on TikTok last week in which he discussed the expectation that wedding guests would give more generously than for birthdays.
‘First of all, I didn’t know that wedding gifts were even required. Birthday gifts are not required. You know what I mean?’ she said.
“Baby shower, I actually understand, because you’re going to have a baby, you need things.
Abbie then argued that the high cost of weddings should not dictate the generosity of gifts and suggested that if guests find the financial demands of attending a wedding too onerous, they should not be invited.
“It’s not my fault you decided to spend $70,000 on a wedding. Why do I owe you anything? Then don’t invite me,” she added.
‘I also come from a family that is not that heavy. So I find this whole thing so weird. I’m actually in shock. A hundred dollars is a lot of money, isn’t it?’
Disgruntled fans responded to the comments, assuring Abbie that it is “normal” to often pay money as a gift to cover someone’s chair at the reception.

“Weddings cost $200 a head and I’m conservative. so $150-200 for a gift to cover your head is pretty normal,” one user wrote.
In another video, Abbie responded to the commenter’s expectation of making a financial contribution to a wedding and questioned why she should have to pay for someone else’s wedding.
She said that if the bride or groom-to-be values her presence, she should attend the wedding out of love, and not because she is expected to cover the costs.
‘Why am I paying for your wedding? Why am I paying for someone else’s wedding?’ she asked the follower.
“Or you want me there because you love me, and therefore I shouldn’t be expected to pay for your wedding and contribute, like it’s fucking Groupon, or like it’s fucking GoFundMe, or it’s that all you want is me there and you’re trying to raise the numbers to pay back for the wedding you wanted.”

Abbie then criticized the wedding guests who contributed to the wedding costs, describing it as ‘shameful’ and inappropriate.
‘I’ve never been to a wedding where people are expected to give the amount per head it costs them. That’s so damn embarrassing. I’m so sorry. That is so annoying for everyone involved.
“And if you want to have that wedding, you have to pay for it and expect nothing in return.”

Fans were furious in the comments, saying that giving money has nothing to do with ‘paying for someone’s wedding’, but about giving a gift as part of a new chapter in their lives as a couple.
“You don’t think of it as ‘paying for someone’s wedding’, it’s not… it’s a gift as they start their new life and as a friend or family you would definitely want to gift them something,” one person said.
‘It’s crazy to think that the average wedding in Australia costs €65,000, and even a donation of $150 per head wouldn’t even cover that. It’s like going to a party empty handed, most people bring a plate or the drinks, it’s pretty simple,” wrote another.

‘Disagree. If you go out for a bougie dinner, you pay for it. When your friend turns 30, will you buy him or her a nice gift? Personally, I think $150 is etiquette and gratitude in my opinion,” said one fan.
Meanwhile, comedian Jon-Bernard’s grandmother weighed in on Kairouz, calling her a “tight ass.”
“It’s good to help the young couple… It’s not nice not to help,” she said.
‘You’re embarrassing! Just give them a few hundred [dollars]. Don’t be cheap.’

‘Also minimal administration. “I don’t have to do anything because I can’t,” she added.

When asked if she would prefer average daily sex or great sex once a week, Abbie immediately said the latter.
