Abbie Chatfield has hit back at Clementine Ford for claiming she doesn’t prepare the content for her podcast.
The TV personality, 29, and the feminist writer are currently locked in an ongoing war of words on social media after Clementine accused Abbie of profiting from the ‘performance of being politically engaged’.
Speaking on her It’s A Lot podcast on Tuesday, Abbie admitted she was struggling over the weekend amid the feud.
‘Been a bit of a rough weekend. Go to my TikTok if you want to know what’s going on. I don’t want to rehash it, but all I want to say is it’s incredibly counterproductive to criticise someone for doing the thing you want them to do,’ Abbie began.
‘It makes no sense and it gives a certain energy that I think we all know.’
She went on to say she would be answering questions sent in by listeners before calling out some of Clementine’s comments.

‘We are doing an ask me anything as I didn’t prep, because contrary to what Clementine Ford says, I do prep for my own podcasts but I didn’t have time to do that, Abbie said.
It comes after Abbie accused Clementine for ‘writing a burn book’ about her.
She took to Instagram on Sunday to slam the writer for mentioning her in her recent Dear Clementine Substack blog.
In the post, Clementine called out Australian influencers like Abbie whom she claims profit from the ‘performance of being politically engaged’ while criticising anyone who challenges them.
Abbie, who has 564K followers on Instagram, shared a video on the platform in which she called the columnist a ‘weirdo’ for having a bone to pick with her.
‘She’s literally writing a burn book about me and doing insults like “She thinks she’s so hot”,’ she said.
‘What a weirdo – oh my god.’
Abbie finished off the clip with a request for the writer.
‘Clementine, take a step back from the internet. Take a step back from Reddit please.’

Abbie later returned to the platform in tears as the social media feud took a dark turn.
In the clip, she asked Clementine to stop ‘trolling’ her personality online, revealing it was not only affecting her mental health but also made her feel unsafe.
‘I get it enough from people on the right and trolls and men that hate me and want to threaten me and want me dead. Please stop dehumanising me,’ she wept.
‘Please, you can criticise my content you can criticise my work just I’m begging you to stop lying about my intentions.
‘Stop saying that I have a personality disorder. You don’t know me. This is so f****ing triggering I just want her to stop.’
‘Please stop discouraging me from posting about Gaza,’ Abbie went on.
‘It isn’t working, you’re discouraging others… Please, like, I’m just trying to do what I can to help.
‘I just don’t understand why she’s so adamant on proving that I’m awful. I don’t get it. This is so incredibly stressful and awful what she is doing.’
It comes after Abbie called out Clementine on social media for ‘writing a burn book’ about her. She posted screenshots of comments made by the writer, calling Abbie an ‘idiotic narcissist’, ‘completely shallow’ and a ‘deeply basic thinker’

Abbie said she was now aware of ‘someone spreading malicious lies about me again and again … because she claims to know my intentions on f***ing everything’.
‘I’m scared of her. Please stop, Clementine. I am begging you to stop,’ she sobbed.
‘You don’t know me at all, you’re a stranger. I deal with so much, every single day. I deal with insults every single day, I do not need it from you because you know that when you say it you validate it for people on the left.
‘You are f**ing my mental health. Please f***ing stop.’
She then posted screenshots of comments made by the writer, calling Abbie an ‘idiotic narcissist’, ‘completely shallow’ and a ‘deeply basic thinker’.
‘See how this isn’t criticism? It’s just insults,’ she captioned the screenshots.
