Tracy Grimshaw slams gossip magazine: “They treat women like morons”
A Current Affair presenter Tracy Grimshaw has called out a well known magazine for “lying” to their readers by allegedly making up information about her.
The 59-year-old slammed the publication on Monday, after they wrote she had requested a VIP lift as Nine’s new office to ensure she wouldn’t be see her without her hair and makeup done.
She chastised “weekly women’s magazines” for treating their readership like “morons”.
“Absolute crap in New Idea this week,” Tracy said in a post to Instagram.
“I wouldn't know anything about the lifts in the new building. Have had zero input, made zero requests.”
Grimshaw’s irritated words referred to the publication’s suggestion that the network’s female hosts and stars demanded a VIP life put into the office because they shared a building with other journalists from Fairfax and other entertainment writers.
“I come in every day with no makeup, go shopping with no makeup, get on planes with no makeup,” she went on to say.
“I once did ACA with no hair or makeup in Brisbane after wading through flood waters all day in 100 per cent humidity. A Sunday paper gossip columnist devoted her entire column to how poorly groomed I was.”
The A Current Affair star went on to address allegations that she has a “personal hairdresser”, instead of letting Nine’s hair and makeup department work with her.
“My hairdresser has been doing my hair for more than 20 years. She does other people's hair too. Lucky for all of us because mine needs all the help it can get,” she explained.
The television presenter also went on to address rumours she holds “wardrobe fittings in her private dressing room” every day “like clockwork” before they started production meetings.
“I don't have daily or even monthly wardrobe consultations.
“[I] have managed to dress myself since I was about four years old. And as for seeing myself as some big star? Spare me.”
