Abbie Chatfield has fired back at assumptions that she was fired from her Hot Nights With Abbie Chatfield radio show.
The 28-year-old revealed on August 17 that she had stepped down from her nighttime radio show in order to focus on projects that “energise” her.
It comes after she revealed she was suffering from burnout as she juggled radio, her podcast and several TV gigs.
Now, Abbie has taken to her primary focus, It’s A Lot, to address a particular comment she repeatedly saw on social media after quitting her radio show.
“I quit my job last week, so thought we’d start off talking about it,” Abbie said. “I thought there’d be a lot of negative press coverage because there usually is…
“I only saw one negative comment of people being like ‘I bet she got fired’.”
Abbie continued: “So, for those of you listening, you may not know this, but the podcast is under the same network as the radio station.”
Abbie Chatfield reveals why she quit her radio show
The FBOY Island Australia host said there were “many reasons” why she decided to pull the plug on her radio gig,
“A huge one was I felt like my life was being drained of content, like every single thing,” Abbie shared.
“I would find myself doing things for content and hoping things would go wrong so I had something to talk about because I had 12 hours a week to fill of content about my life.”
Sounds like a pretty stressful way to live!
It comes as So Dramatic! reported that insiders confessed Abbie’s move would be “better in the long run”.
“Radio was too much work,” they said. “It was five nights a week. She never saw her friends, couldn’t attend events and couldn’t go away whenever she wanted.
“She missed out on a lot of opportunities that will now open up for her.”
