Abbie Chatfield and her partner, Peking Duk star Adam Hyde, have sparked heated debate after launching a profanity-filled rant against anti-immigration protesters.
The controversy unfolded after demonstrations took place across Australia last weekend, including a violent clash at Camp Sovereignty in Melbourneβs Kingβs Domain. Members of the National Socialist Network stormed the site, triggering outrage among activists and public figures.
On Tuesday, Abbie Chatfield shared a joint video with Hyde, where the pair harshly criticized protest participants. Chatfield called them βf****** losers,β while Hyde escalated further, saying they should βdieβ and βbelong in jail.β He also accused them of racism and condemned Australia as a nation βupheld within racism.β
The coupleβs remarks quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions online. Critics accused them of spreading the same hate they condemned. One social media user wrote, βAccording to Abbie Chatfield and her boyfriend, if you protest immigration, you belong in jail or worse.β Others described their words as βvileβ and βincendiary.β
However, not all responses were negative. Many supporters praised Chatfield for taking a strong stance against racism and showing solidarity with Indigenous Australians. Some followers even called her a βpeopleβs heroβ for using her platform to highlight injustice.
The protests, which spread across multiple cities on Sunday, were marred by violence after around 30 men dressed in black stormed Camp Sovereignty. The clash intensified ongoing debates around immigration, racism, and the treatment of Indigenous communities in Australia.
Abbie Chatfield remains a polarizing figure in Australian media. While her blunt approach often attracts criticism, her willingness to speak out continues to resonate strongly with her supporters.
