Sam Newman calls Chrissie Swan ‘unprofessional’ and a ‘coward’ after she said he was one of the worst interviews she’d ever had

Sam Newman has eviscerated media personality Chrissie Swan after she claimed interviewing him was the “worst experience” of her broadcasting career.

Swan, 49, sparked a war of words with the ex-AFL star, 77, on her podcast The Chrissie Swan Show on Monday after she recalled clashing with Newman while interviewing him for Nova FM’s breakfast show a few years ago.

The interview was “terrible,” so she left the studio in tears and they couldn’t air it.

Newman has since hit back in an interview with News Corpaccusing Swan of acting ‘unprofessionally’ by inviting him onto her show, but stormed out over a disagreement.

“What cowardice to ask someone to come in and then walk out of the studio with an opinion on a subject we were talking about,” he told the publication on Tuesday.

‘I just gave my opinion and she walked out, how unprofessional. What a coward.’

The ex-Footy Show presenter then disputed Swan’s version of events, saying: ‘I have no doubt they (Nova FM) didn’t put it on air because they didn’t want to embarrass her, I never abused her , she was gone’ to come to me.’

Although the cause of their on-air disagreement is unknown, Newman accused Swan of taking a “ridiculous position” on the “current affairs” being discussed.

He then bizarrely labeled Swan an “untalented” person who is “clinging” to fame.

Swan’s interview with Newman took place while she was still co-hosting Nova FM Melbourne’s Chrissie, Sam and Browny show, which ran from 2016 to 2022.

Swan, who has interviewed hundreds of celebrities during her long TV and radio career, spoke about her meeting with Newman on her podcast on Monday, saying it was “hands down the worst experience” she has ever had working in media.

Swan’s co-host Jack Charles, who was producer on Chrissie, Sam and Browny, added: “I remember you walking out of the studio, out of the station, and I was like, ‘Where has Swanny gone?’ And we couldn’t even broadcast the audio.”

‘It was definitely the worst yet. It was a terrible, terrible situation and so unusual in my career that I felt so attacked. It was horrible,” Swan replied.
