Chloe Pink, the wife of North Melbourne AFL player Toby Pink, has put a “cowardly” troll on blast after they called her “piggy” and squealed over the phone using no-caller ID.
Chloe — who has been the target of relentless body-shaming from online bullies — opened up about an extremely distressing incident in which a troll managed to grab a hold of her personal phone number.
“Calling me saying, ‘Hi piggy, oink ink’ is harassment,” Chloe wrote in an Instagram Story.
“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.”

The 25-year-old went on to add that she’s contacted police over the phone call, and emphasised that the hater had crossed a major boundary, labelling it a “deliberate and deeply low act”.
“This matter has now been handed over to the police,” she continued.
“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.”

Chloe also thanked those who reached out with support and apologised for being unable to respond to everyone who had sent her sweet messages following the horrible ordeal.
Unfortunately for Chloe, this is not the first time she’s experienced bullying and body shaming. Last year, she became a major target for online trolls after she shared photos from her wedding day with Toby.
Speaking to KIISFM’s Will and Woody, Chloe admitted she spent “three days crying” over hate comments made under a Herald Sun article about their secret wedding.

“My wedding day was the first day where I’ve actually felt truly beautiful,” Chloe shared.
“Toby’s first point was we need to teach our children better, we need to educate our sons and daughters that we need to stop talking about people’s bodies, talk about what their bodies can do, not what they look like.”
During the interview, she also highlighted that a majority of the comments came from older men, urging that people should call them out for their hateful behaviour rather than blaming it on their “generation”.
“I can’t imagine calling out my grandparents, but we have to,” Chloe shared.
In an act of empowerment, as well as a way to reclaim her big day, Chloe auctioned off her dress and the proceeds going towards Dolly’s Dream, an anti-bullying charity aiming at spotlighting the devastating effects of bullying.
