Oscars 2023: Abbie Chatfield is called out for her ‘inappropriate’ remarks about Margot Robbie

Abbie Chatfield has defended herself after being accused of making ‘inappropriate’ remarks about Margot Robbie‘s dress at the Oscars.

The radio host, 27, shared a series of videos on Instagram addressing the backlash.

She had angered her followers by posting a photo of the Hollywood actress, 32, presenting an award on stage with Morgan Freeman, alongside the caption: ‘Best she has ever looked. I am done!’

Some of her fans felt this remark was a backhanded compliment implying Margot’s previous red carpet looks weren’t up to scratch.

A fired-up Abbie told her critics to ‘take a f**king breather’ because she hadn’t meant to throw shade at Margot.

‘Take a moment to look at this DM I got. I need everyone to take a f**king breather and assess what we need to call out,’ Abbie began. 

‘She is one of the most beautiful women in the world. I have met her in real life. I’m obsessed with Margot Robbie.

‘She looks f**king amazing. What do you think I’m commenting on?

‘She looks amazing in black, her hair is straight, she’s not wearing Chanel – Chanel wasn’t the most slay.’

She added: ‘The projection of this person. Her circumstances are… she’s at the Oscars in a hot dress! And she’s Margot f**king Robbie!’

Abbie told her critics to put their energy towards worthwhile causes, instead of trying to find fault with her Instagram posts.

‘Put that energy into climate change or any other kind of activism. The internet, I can’t!’ she despaired.

The message that sparked Abbie’s tirade had urged her to refrain from commenting on other people’s physical appearance – even if it’s a compliment.

‘Girl, this is not appropriate language when talking about someone else… you’re all about not commenting on people’s appearances when you do not know the circumstances and this comes off really badly,’ the DM read. 

‘You could say “my favourite look of hers” but “best she has ever looked” has all sorts of weird and negative associations and you really need to address that and change it.’

Another troll replied to Abbie’s IG Stories: ‘I was all for you but it’s actually true because if someone commented negatively on her appearance you would have come for them!’

Abbie responded: ‘You as a human should be able to deduce I’m not comparing her looks [or] commenting on her body. It’s using your common sense and context clues.’

Abbie concluded: ‘At tonight’s Oscars, my opinion is that Margot Robbie looks the best that I have ever personally seen her on any red carpet event.

‘She looks beautiful always, but this is the best she’s looked. This is due to her hair and makeup and her wearing a black dress which is rare to see Margot in.’

The I, Tonya actress looked incredible on Oscars night in a sequined Armani Privé gown featuring an off-the-shoulder design and a small plunging neckline.

Despite presenting on stage, she had skipped the red carpet after being snubbed in Best Actress category.
