Abbie Chatfield fires up over Sonia Kruger's Gold Logie win

Abbie Chatfield has slammed Sonia Kruger's recent Gold Logie win after accusing the TV presenter of discrimination.

The Masked Singer judge expressed her disapproval of Kruger's Gold Logie win on her It's A Lot podcast, where she criticised the "disgusting" comments Kruger made about Muslim immigration in 2016.

"It's very easy for white feminists to be like, "A woman won. Aren't you happy a woman won?" Yeah, no Sonia," she said.

"I'm not happy that someone who made discriminatory comments on the Today show about Muslim people in 2016 won," she added.

Chatfield echoed the voices of the viewers at home who also took issue with Kruger's "discriminatory" comments and believed that she did not deserve to win the Most Popular Personality award at the Logies.

In 2016, Kruger called for Australia to stop Muslim immigration because she wanted to "feel safe".

"Personally, I would like to see it stop now for Australia because I want to feel safe as all of our citizens do when we go out to celebrate Australia Day," she said during a heated panel discussion at the time.

At the time, she also argued that there was a correlation between the number of Muslims in a country and the number of terrorist attacks.

Chatfield also expressed her disappointment in Kruger for not using her platform to help those in need.

"How about you use the privilege you have as a white woman to not discriminate against people of colour or people who have a different minority than you?" she said.
