Abbie Chatfield makes no secret of the fact that she is a feminist.
But the former Bachelor star, 28, has revealed she’s struggling with a dilemma between feeling good about herself and her politics.
On her podcast It’s A Lot, Abbie opened up about her desire to get a nose job.
“I’ve been afraid to even say this,” she said.
‘I have a dilemma, a feminist dilemma… I have almost no cartilage or bone between my eyes. I’m getting filler in that hole to make my nose straighter.’

“So…should I get a nose job?” she asked, “My biggest problem with it is that it’s not very feminist or very intersectional.
‘I understand that plastic surgery cannot be inherently feminist, and I also understand that if I existed in a vacuum where I just lived… without any sense of what I looked like, I wouldn’t want to get this done . This is all the feminist discourse I’ve seen.”
“Unfortunately I don’t live in a f***ing vacuum, I live in a f***ing Big Brother house where everyone is filming me from every f***ing angle,” the podcaster added.
Later, her producer assured Abbie that it wasn’t feminist to tell women what to do with their lives, to which Abbie quickly replied, “Should I book it then?”

It comes after Abbie shared a bizarre story last weekend about an ex and the elaborate lie he made up to avoid meeting her family.
Sharing a video on Instagram as part of a sponsorship for dating app Bumble, Abbie recalled her then-boyfriend turning down a holiday with her and her clan because he had already booked a trip to Antarctica.
The FBoy Island host explained that the couple had been on and off for “years” and one Christmas she invited him over for a holiday to meet her friends and family.
The friend – who Abbie did not identify – declined her offer with the excuse that he was heading to the South Pole.
Abbie couldn’t shake her suspicions about his apology and discovered the truth when she checked his friends’ social media over the New Year.
She found photos of her lover holidaying with his friends on the Gold Coast.
“Not quite Antarctica, huh?” Abbie asked sarcastically as she continued the story.
Finally, the reality star confronted the shameless boyfriend.
“All this man did was say, ‘I’m sorry, honey,’” she said, clearly not enjoying the memory.

Meanwhile, Abbie’s followers were quick to call out the reality star for the authenticity of the story.
“Nice story for Bumble, but I don’t think you’re stupid enough to actually believe he went to Antarctica,” one fan wrote.
Another follower agreed, saying: ‘Who’s going to Antarctica? I already knew it was a scam.”
“At least choose a viable country lol,” wrote another.
