Brittany Hockley dramatically collapses at Sydney gym following marriage to Benjamin Siegrist: 'We have a woman down'
Newlywed Brittany Hockley gave fans a fright this week after collapsing at a gym in Sydney, after an intense workout session with her husband Benjamin Siegrist. The 37-year-old former Bachelor star was filmed lying slumped over a table at VRTUS gym in Bondi, appearing completely spent. Dressed in a white jumper and black exercise pants, Brittany appeared exhausted as she looked up at the camera and let out a cry of anguish: 'Can't'. She then slowly zipped her white jumper over her face in apparent defeat. The alarming clip was shared by her Swiss footballer husband, who cheekily captioned it: 'We have a woman down'.

'Still in vacay mode, to be honest,' Brittany added. He added two laughing emojis, confirming the moment was all in jest. It comes after Brittany was left broken-hearted after she shelled out $1,000 for a lavish wedding cake - only to be delivered a culinary disaster. The podcaster married Swiss footballer Ben Siegrist in a clifftop ceremony in Bali earlier this month. While Brittany's nuptials went off without a hitch, the genetically blessed couple were left red-faced at the reception when they came face to face with their 'Temu' sponge that looked like a 'four-stacked pizza'. Last week, Brittany shared an image of the ornate sponge she ordered, complete with piped dollops of rich white cream and a vibrant topping of fresh berries, and an image of what was delivered to illustrate her heartache. Instead of the berry-laden showstopper she hoped for, the final product resembled 'four burned pizzas slapped together' - dull, brown, and uninspired. The disappointing dessert left Brittany and her guests in shock. The couple's wedding took place last week at Pandawa Cliff Estate, which promises a 'dramatic and romantic clifftop setting overlooking the Indian Ocean' and stunning views of Bali's Bukit Peninsula. Brittany was ever the blushing bride on her big day, walking down the aisle in a strapless dress by Steven Khalil which featured a lace corset with dramatic long train. Brittany and Ben gave followers a glimpse into the nuptials, sharing a duo of loved-up snaps from the big day to Instagram. One showed Ben romantically embracing his new bride as he leaned in for a newlywed kiss. 'From the very first day, it was you,' Brittany captioned the images. 'Across any ocean, it is you. For the rest of our lives, it will always be you. Mr and Mrs Siegrist 4.6.2025,' she added, augmenting the sentiment with love heart emojis.

Abbie Chatfield mocked by cruel trolls for returning to social media in days after announcing a month long break following 'horrible year'
has returned to social media just days after breaking down in tears and announcing a month long break. The podcaster had resurfaced, posting a fun video in which she and boyfriend Adam Hyde were dancing together before attending a wedding. 'Wedding time!!!! With my angel' the 29-year-old podcaster captioned the energetic clip. Some of her followers were unimpressed to see Abbie back so quickly after her breakdown and shared their thoughts in her comments. 'Short break from socials. Crying in a car, nek minute uploading a video dancing in a hotel. The level of contradiction is sending me' one person wrote. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I thought you weren't posting for a month?' another person asked. 'The social media break didn't happen. Here you are again, just no tears this time' one more commented. 'What happened to leaving socials? Couldn't even last a day hahahaha' another said. 'So we not taking a break, another attention seeking move' commented yet one more. Others were very supportive, with several pointing out that Abbie specified her break would not start till later in the week. 'Love this! Glad you give zero f**ks about your daily jellly haters and still show up! No flies on you my babe' one said. Another wrote: 'You guys are stunning and your energy is beautiful'. Abbie post comes days after she revealed that she is taking a break from social media after what she says has been a 'horrible year.' The influencer shared an expansive and emotional video to TikTok in which she outlined the reasoning behind her decision. She said that 'endless trolling' from 'right-wing freaks' had finally reached breaking point and that she needs time away from social media to 'protect her brain.' Over the next four weeks, Abbie's social media feeds will only feature pre-recorded clips for her It's A Lot Podcast. 'For the next month, I'm not going to be posting on social media at all except for pre-scheduled content for the podcast,' she revealed. 'I really need time off from the internet - like desperately.' Giving followers an insight into the level of trolling, Abbie said that the amount of abuse she receives online was 'endless'. 'It's been really horrific this past six months with the amount of violent trolling that I have received,' she said. 'It's hundreds of messages a day. It's really traumatising and I don't like saying that because I know that trolls want to hurt me. 'Ever since the end of last year the trolling has become increasingly violent and aggressive from people that don't like me. It's day, every day.' Abbie continued: 'Just imagine if every single day you received a hundred texts saying that people were going to SA [sexually assault] you, people want to be violent towards you, people hate you. 'I cant even enjoy TikTok because my for you page is videos about me - people making fun of me.' She also claimed that the vitriol had gotten so bad over the past year that she has even experienced suicidal ideation. 'I haven't really gone a day in the past eight months without having thoughts of un-aliving myself so, I really need a break because, when I get to have a day off without my phone, I'm able to get back to being normal,' Abbie tearfully admitted. 'I'm sick of being lied about, I'm sick of being attacked by right wing freaks and losers.' Abbie also revealed that she was currently in the process of writing a book - a process made almost impossible when coupled with the emotional drain of dealing with internet trolls. 'I've decided to put in like a boundary for myself to protect my brain because it's been extraordinarily difficult this year and it's incredibly exhausting,' she said. 'I'm also writing a book right now and, in order to write the book I need to be mentally clear because the constant criticism I receive makes me paralysed to write or actually do anything because I believe I am what everyone says I am.' Abbie's emotional admission comes after her online rival Clementine Ford defended Abbie amid their ongoing internet stoush. The pair have been exchanging barbs for weeks after Clementine accused Abbie of profiting from the 'performance of being politically engaged'. However, the pair have appeared to have found some common ground, with Clementine defending Abbie in an explosive response to an online troll. She shared an image to her Instagram story on Thursday that showed a very off-colour remark by a troll account called 'Right Of Centre'. The comment read: 'Two ugly xx trolls. Men should not help them at all. 'If they're being mugged they're not worth it - too ugly - only good looking nice women deserve chivalry on any level.' Clementine responded swiftly, slamming the commenter as an 'incel creep'. 'Regardless of my views on AC [Abbie Chatfield], I'm pretty sure neither of us need or have ever needed nor have ever asked for men to help us - especially not weird little incel creeps who blame women for their basement position on the male hierarchy,' she said. 'F*** off, loser. We both know you would p*** your pants in fear if one of us even looked in your direction.' Abbie and Clementine's feud began when the latter wrote on her 'Dear Clementine' blog on Substack that some influencers, like Abbie, profit from the 'performance of being politically engaged' while criticising anyone who disagrees with them.

Abbie Chatfield addresses 'very demeaning' backlash from feud with Clementine Ford as she DEFENDS the fellow feminist: 'It's not her fault'
Abbie Chatfield has described the fallout from her very public feud with Clementine Ford as 'demeaning'. The podcaster says the right wing response to her 'cat fight' was disappointing and predictable - but she does not blame the fellow feminist for the backlash. 'It was really hurtful because after that, the right-wing comments came in saying, "Nothing better than a cat fight. Two feminists fighting. You can't even agree with each other." It's very demeaning' Abbie tells Stellar Magazine. 'And that isn't Clementine's fault, but it's something that she should have considered, and that I've considered when I haven't called her out for things that I'd say are deeply damaging.' The 29-year-old added that she's most troubled by comments - from Clementine and other detractors alike - that attack her perceived character and not her politics. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'This idea that because I'm not doing things perfectly, that I'm an idiotic narcissist, I don't know anything, I'm brain dead, I'm a deeply basic thinker – they're just insults. It's not actually critiquing my work' she said. Just last month Ford appeared to have taken another dig at Chatfield as the feminist rivals' online feud rumbled on. The pair have been exchanging barbs since Ford accused Chatfield of profiting from the 'performance of being politically engaged'. In the recent salvo, Ford took to her Instagram story to make a pointed reference to the stoush. She shared a screenshot of a text conversation between two unnamed people. The first writes: 'I heard you were taking s*** about me.' The second replies with a defiant: 'Do you wanna hear it again or did you get everything?' Above the exchange, Ford wrote: 'This is the energy I want to be coming into next year with'. Chatfield had made a tearful appeal to Ford to rein back her criticism, saying it was unfair and was a painful addition to the abuse she receives from those who criticise her left-wing politics. Speaking on her It's A Lot podcast, Chatfield admitted she had struggled as she reflected on 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 then invited questions from her followers, and used that for another shot at Ford. '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. The feud came about when Ford wrote on her Dear Clementine blog on Substack that some influencers like Chatfield profit from the 'performance of being politically engaged' while criticising anyone who disagrees with them. Chatfield responded with a video post on Instagram in which she called out Ford. 'She's literally writing a burn book about me and doing insults like "She thinks she's so hot"' Chatfield said. 'What a weirdo - oh my God.' Abbie finished off the clip with a plea to the writer. 'Clementine, take a step back from the internet. Take a step back from Reddit please.' Chatfield later returned to the platform in tears as the social media feud took a dark turn. She accused Ford of 'trolling' her, and said it was affecting her mental health and 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 - 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. 'It isn't working, you're discouraging others... Please, 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.' Chatfield 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'. '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 Chatfield an 'idiotic narcissist', 'completely shallow' and a 'deeply basic thinker'. 'See how this isn't criticism? It's just insults,' she captioned the screenshots.
