Hates Morning, Hope having a great Friday Afternoonwards, We've got
a very very special guest in Chloe Pink who joins
us in the studio right now. Chloe is married to
North Melbourne Football Club in the AFL's Toby Pink and
Chloe joins in the studio right now to talk about
something that she went through recently that we think categorically
sucks and so she's in need to try and make
(00:39):
things better for everybody else going forward.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Chloe, Welcome to Will and Woodie.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Thank you for having me. Guys. I appreciate the platform
to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Do you want to talk us through? So you had
a secret wedding to your now husband, Toby. Yeah, and
that was back in March. Yeah, first lead, congrats.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Thank you, look beautiful by the way, thank you. Where
was it? Where was it exactly?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
We went to the wedding registry, so just the office
right next to the Treasury Guarden.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
We're on the steps out the front there.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yeah, So we just went there and then we had
a long table. They're at Bosley Bar and restaurant, which
is beautiful, by the way, if you need a recommendation.
We had a long table dinner there, getting paid to say.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
That I got a wedding for free.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
And yeah, we kept it on the down low and
didn't tell anyone else. We've been together for over seven years.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
And then fast forward a few months. So fast forward
to a couple of days ago. There's a news article
written about the fact that you and Toby got married.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yes, yeah, so Jackie from Harold Son. She reached out
to me and said, are you okay we do an
article on your wedding. It was really beautiful and I said,
of course, like that sounds lovely. The article went live,
and from the back end of that article is when
I guess put it up in this situation. There was
a lot of viral comments coming hard and fast, all
(02:00):
about my appearance, all about my weight. There were comments
calling me a fridge, comments saying that Toby was a
AFL player by day, pick hunter by night. Yeah, there
was the comments that genuinely shocked me, not even just
calling me fat like that was really vile comments. And
they were not just one or two I think, Yeah
(02:23):
it was.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It was.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
It's been a hard, hard week, not just one or
two either. There were so many, and Harold Son did
what they could, like they were deleting the comments, and
eventually they had to turn off the comments. But it
was it was I'd never experienced anything like it, and
I guess I it was a bit naive and I
know that I'm going to get a hate comment. I
know that someone's going to call me fat, but it
(02:45):
didn't expect it to this extent.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Did you know that?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Sorry just to because he said I knew that I
was going to get a comment. Someone's good. So Jackie
calls you the Harald Sun. Probably a lot of people's dream. Yeah,
they want to put your your photo in the paper
of you marrying your beautiful man.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Of probably one of the best days of your life.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah, that was going to happen. And then at the
same time you're saying in the that in your mind
was also a thought where you were like, I know
someone's going to call me fat publicly in these photos.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
How did you know that?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Because I've been to another event where my photo has
been posted. I've also received one or two comments about
the way that I look. But I didn't expect it
to be to the extent that it was. I expected
one or two comments, and I can take that, which
I shouldn't have to. I know that someone out there
is going to say I look fat, but I did
(03:39):
not expect the vile comments and to the extent and
the nature of what was to come.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
And how did you think you looked on your wedding day?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I had a hard conversation actually with a close family member,
and I said, my wedding day was the first day
where I've actually felt truly beautiful and makes my mom my.
Mom's been crying all week. She said, She's like you,
you looked beautiful. She said, you felt beautiful, and I
truly did. Thank you. Even when I uploaded the photos,
(04:10):
I didn't question if I looked fat. I didn't question
if I looked ugly. I didn't question my appearance. I
felt so beautiful.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So when these comments start coming through, how did you
see them?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
So I read the comments and I just spent I
think three days straight crying home. Initially to Toby's like
no way, there's no way. And Toby just sat there
in silence for like a good day, and he's like,
I am so sorry, and it felt like he was
apologizing to me because I was saying, oh, it's just
like I was crying and it really hurt. But in
(04:42):
the back of my mind, I kept saying, it's just
part of his job. It's just part of his job.
It's fine, it's just part of his job. But the
more I reflect on that, it's not it's not. And
if I say that, I'm excusing your behavior.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So we want to get to how we can do
better about this. Yeah, all got a song and we've
got more with Chloe Pink right up next here on
will and what he By the way, I should mention
if any of this brought up any emotions of body image,
then reach out to the Butterfly Foundation. Way A one
