AFL WAG Bec Judd took to her social media on Friday to give her opinion on American politics.
In the bold post, the 41-year-old influencer appears to have thrown her support behind controversial anti-vaxxer Robert F Kennedy Jr, who has been chosen as the new The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Bec posted a message from Kennedy to President-elect Donald Trump on her own Instagram Stories and captioned the message: “Excellent. Australia needs its own RFK.’
A self-described science skeptic, Kennedy has courted controversy for his views, including the link between pharmaceutical therapies and disorders such as autism.
Trump announced Thursday that Kennedy was his nomination for the crucial HHS role.
“Thank you Donald Trump for your leadership and courage. I am committed to advancing your vision to make America whole again,” Kennedy said in the message Bec shared.

He continued, “We have a generational opportunity to bring together the greatest minds in science, medicine, industry and government to end the chronic disease epidemic.
“I look forward to working with HHS’s more than 80,000 employees to free the agencies from the suffocating cloud of corporate domination so they can pursue their mission to once again make Americans the healthiest people on earth.”
It comes after the Melbourne businesswoman raised eyebrows when she was spotted breaking bread with a group of conservative Australian power brokers last month.
Sky News commentator Rita Panahi shared a series of photos with Bec and Country Liberal Party senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.
They were joined in cheerful snaps by PR guru James Radford – former PR gun for West Australian mining magnate Gina Rinehart – and wealthy Melbourne thrush Kathy Garnaut.
“Thanks for being my dinner buddies,” Judd said in an Instagram post.
The famous faces were among 375 people who gathered for a meeting organized by the right-wing lobby group the Institute of Public Affairs, which campaigns for conservative economic and political principles.
Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott and former Donald Trump aide Mick Mulvaney were also in attendance.

Bec has become increasingly outspoken on political matters since the Covid pandemic, when she was highly critical of Melbourne’s long lockdown and dismissed then-Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews as ‘Dictator Dan’.
She publicly clashed with Mr Andrews in May 2022 over the crime rate near her suburb in the city’s Bayside district, claiming the state government ‘didn’t seem to care’.
“I’m so sick of the gang rapes, assaults and home invasions in Bayside,” she grumbled. ‘We feel unsafe’.
Mr Andrews slammed Judd’s attack, saying he was ‘not interested in arguing’ with her.
He then did just that, claiming that independent crime statistics refuted her “sweeping assessments about crime patterns.”
Bec has continued to speak out on crime and justice issues this year, describing Melbourne as “woke, broke and violent”.
She has worked in the fashion industry and as a model and TV presenter. She has four children with her husband, former West Coast Eagles and Carlton captain Chris Judd.
