Abbie Chatfield has been slammed as ‘toxic’ after she went on an expletive-laden rant about International Men’s Day last week.
The FBoy Island star, 29, took to Instagram to criticise men who complain they are ‘not recognised enough’.
‘Isn’t it good that International Men’s Day was, like, two or three days ago now and haven’t heard a peep from them,’ Abbie said sarcastically in the clip.
‘I’ve seen some men go “no one does anything for us.” Who organises International Women’s Day? It isn’t the f***ing men.’
Abbie said that International Women’s Day was in the public eye because it is women who organise events to recognise it.
‘Who’s making all the cupcakes, b***h? The women. Who’s organising all the morning teas? The women.

‘Sorry that you guys can’t f***ing organise one day. Sorry that you can’t make a f***ing Betty Croker Packet mix. Figure it out.’
Abbie then went on to mock men’s mental health and social isolation issues.
‘Weaponised incompetence continues through to their own day that all year they go, “when it International Men’s Day?”
‘We’re isolated. Our mental health is draining. We have no community. Nothing fun is ever for us. Even though everything is for them,’ she said sarcastically.
‘But they finally have a day allocated to them and they can’t even organise bloody Paul in the office to make a nice Betty Croker packet mix Brownie and they complain to women about it.’
Abbie’s post was met with a spirited debate in the comments, with many fans calling the reality star as ‘toxic’.
‘How toxic is this?’ one follower asked, while another chimed in with a similar: ‘Wow this is beyond distasteful and disrespectful, why so much hate?
‘No wonder men find it difficult coming forward in conveying and expressing their feelings.’

One continued the sentiment, suggesting that Abbie harboured ill-will towards men.
‘Regardless of the context in your post. The fact you posted it showcases your hate for men,’ they wrote.
It wasn’t all negative however, with many fans taking the time to throw their support behind Abbie’s controversial statements.
‘I had this exact thought the other day. Never heard a peep about it, but come March 8 [International Women’s Day], it’s all they’ll be saying,’ one follower commented.
Another chimed in with: ‘Favourite thing is that it [International Men’s Day] falls on the same day as national toilet day.’
Abbie’s comments come after she broke her promise to stay off the internet for two days in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election victory, taking to social media to rant repeatedly against the president-elect.
The reality star, who told fans she was so upset over the Republican candidate’s victory she would be taking a break from social media, took to Instagram a day later to rant against Trump’s policies.
Abbie posted a photo of her weeping and captioned it: ‘Seriously, just been sobbing.’
She then promised to take an active stand against those who discriminated against women.
‘If you think I was a misandrist before, just wait,’ she said.
‘Men now have permission to be outwardly sexist. I never want to hear folks act like women are overstating how much the world hates them.’
