A Very Ultra Summer With... Abbie Chatfield

This week we're talking to Abbie Chatfield, the most iconic human to come out of the 'The Bachelor' Australia universe, who single-handedly took on the series' weird, conservative attitude toward sex and (as far we see it) won. We talk to Abbie about dating post-reality TV; the mental health tolls constant internet abuse takes on a person; the way reality TV sanctifies insecure women; the 'wifey' archetype; how insane it is that, as an Australian size 8, she is heralded as the face of body positivity in Australian media, and how Ex Boyfriend That I Love became Ex Boyfriend That I Despise. As Abbie would say, it's a lot.
