An AFL WAG who has been the repeated target of online trolling say bullies have taken things to a whole new level.
Chloe Pink, who is married to North Melbourne AFL player Toby Pink, became the victim of trolling when her wedding photos were shared online in April 2025.
In the days after her wedding, Ms Pink wasn’t enjoying wedded bliss; she was at home crying and deleting and blocking messages from people calling her a “pig” and “fat”.
It led to consistent body shaming for more six months — until she decided to retake her wedding photos to reclaim the joy of the day.
She then auctioned off the dress with proceeds going to Dolly’s Dream, a leading anti-bullying charity dedicated to changing the culture of bullying.
However, in the months since she retook her wedding pictures, the bullying has reached a whole new level, Ms Pink said.
She took to Instagram to reveal she was now getting harassing phone calls.
“Calling me saying, ‘hi piggy, oink oink’ is harassment,” she said.
“It’s cruel, disgusting and cowardly. If you think this is funny, you need serious help.
“Hide behind No Caller ID all you want — rot in hell.”
Harassing phone calls can land offenders in prison for up to three years.
In a follow up post, Ms Pink confirmed that she had reported the calls to the police.
“I see all of your kind messaged and I’m so grateful for the support. I’m sorry I can’t respond to everyone individually,” she said.
“This matter has now been handed over to the police.
“Messaging me or commenting on my posts is one thing but finding my personal number and calling to harass me about my appearance crosses a serious line.
“This was a deliberate and deeply low act. Instead of breaking me, it has lit a fire in my belly. You will never make me feel less than who I am.
“Do better.”
Fans and friends were quick to rush to Ms Pink’s defence.
“I’ve been thinking of you – I hope you’re OK. You don’t deserve any of the awfulness,” one person said.
Another added: “There’s more of us that stand with you than against you, far and wide.”
“You are gorgeous inside and out, I stand with you Chloe,” another added.
One social media user said: “You’re gorgeous inside and out. They’ve got nothing. Literally nothing.”
