Abbie Chatfield FINALLY admits to tipping off the paparazzi for cash - and setting up cringe pics of her packing on the PDA with a reality star in Noosa
Abbie Chatfield has finally confirmed a long-standing rumour, admitting she once accepted money in exchange for tipping off the paparazzi about her whereabouts. The 30-year-old made the bombshell confession on the latest episode of her It's A Lot podcast, revealing she pocketed $1,000 for setting up a staged photo opportunity shortly after appearing on The Bachelor in 2019. 'When I was fresh out of The Bachelor I was dating The Bachelorette's Todd [King] , and we set up with some paparazzi to take photos of us at the beach,' Abbie began. 'We were going anyway, and it was $1,000! We thought, "Yeah, that will pay for flights from Perth".' Abbie explained the photoshoot was coordinated through a journalist, who acted as a go-between and passed on the location details to a photographer in Queensland. 'It was done through a journalist, who told the paparazzi where we were going to be. I have done it once for money, because I still had a nine-to-five and $1,000 is a lot of money,' she added. 'We were going to go to the beach anyway, so if you are doing it for money, then go off, queen!' she continued. The staged photos were taken at Noosa Beach in October 2019 and captured Abbie in a skimpy two-piece, passionately kissing her then-rumoured love interest Todd King. The media personality has long faced speculation about tipping off paparazzi. Last year, Abbie rubbished suggestions she frequently 'tips off' the paparazzi about her whereabouts to ensure good photos. The influencer shared a blistering video to TikTok in which she admitted she had alerted the paparazzi to her whereabouts before - but clarified it was not a regular occurrence. 'I think it is funny that people are so angry about people who call the paps on themselves,' Abbie began. 'It's f**king weird to do it when you are going on a walk, like who gives a f**k? I would never call the paps for photos of me walking the dog!' However, she added that she believed it was okay for celebrities to alert press photographers about their whereabouts if the money from the snaps was split between them. 'I don't think it is an evil thing to do because people can have autonomy over the photos taken of them. The reason why paps are creepy is because it isn't consensual,' she said. 'If you can get paid for it, why not? The reason why I did it with my boyfriend at the time is the money. I wouldn't do it again unless it was for a lot of money.' Meanwhile, Ben McDonald, CEO of Matrix Media Group, told Daily Mail in 2024 that many celebrities had a working relationship with the paparazzi as a means of controlling their image. He said that throughout his career he had developed working relationships with all kinds of celebrities, including Hollywood A-Listers and reality stars.

Clementine Ford takes a subtle dig at Abbie Chatfield as their online feud continues
Clementine Ford appears to have taken a subtle dig at Abbie Chatfield as the pair's online feud continues. The feminist writer is currently locked in an ongoing social media war of words with the TV star, 29, after Clementine accused Abbie of profiting from the 'performance of being politically engaged'. In what appeared to be the latest salvo, Clementine took to her Instagram story on Tuesday to make quite a pointed reference to the stoush. She shared a screenshot of a text message conversation between two unnamed people. In it, the first writes: 'I heard you were taking s*** about me.' The second, purportedly Clementine in the scenario, replies with a defiant: 'Do you wanna hear it again or did you get everything?' Captioning the image, Clementine said that the 'energy' displayed by the second person in the conversation, was one she was keen to adopt. 'This is the energy I want to be coming into next year with,' the caption read. Clementine's post is the latest in the continuing clash, coming after Abbie hit back at Clementine for claiming she doesn't prepare the content for her podcast. 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. In what appeared to be the latest salvo, Clementine took to her Instagram story on Tuesday to make quite a pointed reference to the stoush with Abbie 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.' 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.
