Former Home and Away star Sam Frost has accused Abbie Chatfield of “relentlessly bullying” her in the past, after she shared a video encouraging “empathy” and “understanding” amid the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.

Earlier this month, Adelaide-based academic Clementine Ford – in her ‘Dear Clementine’ Substack blog – called out Aussie influencers such as Chatfield, who profit from being politically engaged but then criticise people who challenge them.

In response, Chatfield claimed that the accusations were tantamount to “bullying”, with footage showing the social media star breaking down in tears while begging Ford to stop.

Chatfield took aim at Frost after the TV star made a clip in 2021, saying she was “unvaccinated” and pleaded for “compassion” and “understanding” for people’s individual choice.

She continued: “There are a lot of different reasons people aren’t getting vaccinated – and it might be because of their medical history, their concerns they might have, they might have family history, it might be religious reasons, whatever.

“I want to tell those people that feel like they’re getting separated from society – well, I’m not vaccinated, and there’s a reason why I’m not, I’ve spoken to my doctor and my psychologist about it, and I’m going to keep it private.”

However, Chatfield repeatedly took aim at Frost.

Chatfield said on her podcast: “Why are they acting like she, I don’t know, stood up for a feminist issue that was seen extreme at the time but now everyone’s like, ‘Yes she was right?’

“The more time that goes on, the more proof there is that she was wrong. So why are we now giving her a Stellar cover?’

“Her publicist must be working overtime, like, how did she get that?”

Commenting on the Chatfield-Ford feud, Frost said: “I don’t wish this kind of pain or sadness on anyone. I truly wish her the best and hope she heals. I certainly don’t support anyone trolling or bullying others.”

She continued: “However, perhaps in this moment, she can reflect on the time when the shoe was on the other foot. When she was the one relentlessly bullying me when I shared a video saying my mental health was suffering.

“And she encouraged all of her followers to also bully and hate on me attacking me for months and months and months.”

Following Ford’s comments, Chatfield said the fight had become too much and shared a clip of herself weeping.

“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,” Chatfield said.

“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.”

Chatfield asked Ford to stop discouraging her from posting about the war in Gaza.

She went on to label Ford’s actions as “trolling”, saying it was affecting her mental health.

“I’m scared of her ... I am begging you to stop” Chatfield said.

“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.”
