Abbie Chatfield has backtracked on her previous claim that she would enter politics.
The 29-year-old Masked Singer star is known for her outspoken and progressive views, but told her fans this week that she will not be running for parliament for the time being.
“Apparently I said in some context that I was going to go into politics,” she said on Instagram Stories on Friday.
“But I’ll be honest, this ADHD chick; I’m just babbling. I don’t know in what context I said that. I don’t know if it was a joke.
“I want to let you know that I am not considering entering politics.”
Abbie added: ‘These are the trials and tribulations you face when you have ADHD in the media.’
Earlier this month, Abbie said she would consider becoming a politician if her career in reality tv fell through ….
‘I recently thought, ‘Maybe I should go into politics’ but I’m tired. Maybe if FBoy Island Australia Season Three doesn’t happen!’ Abbie said The Sydney Morning Herald.
Abbie Chatfield (pictured) has backtracked on her previous claim that she would give politics a go. The Masked Singer star, 29, is known for her outspoken and progressive views, but told fans this week that she will not be running for parliament for the time being.
Chatfield added that she got her strong liberal values from being raised in a single-parent household by her mother.
‘It shocks me that people still live as if it were 1954, the women cleaning and the men cutting the meat. My mother is a very intelligent, talkative, progressive woman.
“When I was growing up with her, we would watch the news and she would say, ‘Isn’t it horrible how these women are treated?’ There was constant conversation. It helped me hone my debate skills.”
The brunette beauty then revealed the hilarious words she wanted engraved on her gravestone: “A QR code that says ‘Stream FBoy Island Season 2 Right Now.’”
“Apparently, in some context, I said I was going to run for politics,” she said on Instagram Stories on Friday. “But I’ll be honest, this ADHD chick; I’m just babbling. I don’t know in what context I said that. I don’t know if it was a joke.”
Chatfield previously revealed her huge paycheck for presenting season two of binge dating series FBoy Island Australia, and how it compares to her other jobs.
The Bachelor star explained in a series of TikTok videos that while hosting reality TV shows can be lucrative, the money earned from it is “not as much as you would think.”
“It’s a lot of money. Seriously, it’s a lot of f**king money, especially for a slut from Brisbane who didn’t have a car to learn to drive when I was in high school,” she said.
In another video, Abbie explains that while her TV and radio jobs can be quite rewarding, it may not be worth the effort, especially considering the potential income from social media.
“When you compare the money you get offered to do a TV appearance to the time and energy it takes to make the same amount of money through social media, it’s not really worth it,” she added.
“To host a whole season, which is months and months of work – there’s still pre-production and post-production. And the hectic period before that, the weeks leading up to it [filming]with fittings and talking about casting and dates and having conversations with producers.’
