Newman’s latest showdown with ‘woke’ celeb

OSTN Staff

Chatfield took aim at Newman on her hit podcast, It’s a Lot, over recent comments he made about woke society getting hold of The Footy Show.“I don’t think being racist and homophobic is being edgy,’’ Chatfield said. “If you can’t be funny without being racist, homophobic, or sexist, you aren’t funny.”Newman said Chatfield should stop using others to gain notoriety.“I’ve honestly never heard of her,’’ he said. “Someone sent it to me and I thought this is throwaway, salacious bullshit about stuff I speak about.“I’m not homophobic, racist or any of the things she’s saying I am. If you talk about those subjects, suddenly you get branded as that. She should worry about her own podcast and getting notoriety on her own, rather than off the back of others. She’s simply mentioning me in the hope of getting noticed.”Newman has often spoken on his own podcast, You Cannot Be Serious, about “woke” society.Chatfield has been making headlines this week over speculation she’s split with her boyfriend Konrad Bien-Stephen.She has skyrocketed in popularity after her stint as a loved-hated Bachelor personality, gathering multiple commercial deals, as well as a nightly radio spot, podcast, hosting Love Island Australia Afterparty and recently The Masked Singer, which she called “pure fun,” with “no villains”.
