‘Just do it': Abbie Chatfield sparks outrage over message to young American men
Controversial Australian influencer Abbie Chatfield has sparked outrage online after calling on young American men to 'just do it' while making a gun symbol with her hand.
The clip, which was shared last month, is being circulated online by furious Australians.
In the video, Chatfield appears to address American 'incels' — a term which refers to a subculture of young men who are hostile towards women because they consider themselves unable to attract women sexually.
'Americans, when are you going to do it? Why isn't it already done?' Chatfield says in the video.
'Every day there is another (gun symbol) happening. Awful for your country. Awful, right.
'Why don't you redirect this energy towards something else? There are all these incels going 'no one wants to f*** me' so they go and do (gun symbol).
'Do you know what would actually make people respect you and maybe actually want to f*** you? Is if you did it.
'You'd get heaps of fan mail. Oh my god.
'Just do it.
'Like you are all doing it every day anyway.' Abbie Chatfield has sparked outrage over the since-deleted video. Credit: TikTok/Instagram
Social media users have flocked online to share the clip, calling for punitive measures to be taken against Chatfield.
Victorian Senator Ralph Babet slammed Chatfield's behaviour, noting she recently interviewed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese ahead of the 2025 federal election.
'Prime Minister Albanese must immediately condemn Abbie Chatfield's vile rhetoric,' he wrote on X.
Another Australian said: 'Chatfield needs to be arrested for inciting violence.'
'This is the person who Albanese promotes.'
'What is going on in this world that people like Abbie Chatfield think this is acceptable?!' a third person wrote.
7NEWS.com.au has contacted Abbie Chatfield's management team for comment.
Chatfield, a left-wing commentator with over 1.225 million followers on Instagram and TikTok, is no stranger to controversy.
Last year, she was blasted online after calling Americans 'uneducated' in the wake of Donald Trump's presidential victory.
Earlier this year, Chatfield interviewed Labor PM Anthony Albanese on her podcast It's A Lot.
The sit-down sparked an Australian Electoral Commission investigation amid concerns it may have breached electoral laws by not including an authorisation message.
Authorisation statements are legally required on political content from someone communicating an electoral or political matter.
Chatfield was ultimately cleared of any wrong doing after the AEC department found her content 'does not need an authorisation statement'.

EU and US agree trade deal with 15% tariffs for European exports
Frankfurt: The European Union has ended months of dispute with US President Donald Trump by accepting a deal that imposes 15 per cent tariffs on billions of dollars in exports, submitting to the terms out of concern he might otherwise punish Europe with higher penalties. The outcome appears set to lift prices for American consumers and hurt sales for European exporters, in the latest example of global brinksmanship as Trump forces tariffs on major economies in the hope of raising huge sums of revenue for the US government. In a surprise addition to the deal, the EU agreed to buy energy worth $US750 billion from the US over the years ahead – part of the bloc's broader objective of reducing reliance on Russian gas. Trump said the EU would also invest $US600 billion more in the US economy, echoing a vague investment pledge in a trade deal with Japan last week. The deal was unveiled in Scotland on Sunday during Trump's visit to his golf estates, as hundreds of protesters gathered to object to his visit, while supporters chanted his name outside some of his events. 'I think this is the biggest deal ever made,' Trump told reporters after he emerged from talks with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. European industries were divided on the trade dispute over recent weeks, with German car makers anxious to gain a deal because of the threat to their sales from even higher tariffs, while French industry canvassed retaliation against US demands. Von der Leyen confirmed the 15 per cent tariff applied 'across the board' and framed the outcome as a win for stability. 'We have a trade deal between the two largest economies in the world, and it's a big deal,' she said.

Trump pressures Israel to make a decision on next steps in Gaza
US President Donald Trump says Israel needs to make a decision soon on their next steps in Gaza. Speaking at a meeting with the European Commission President, the American leader says he is still trying to get the hostages home but that Hamas will not make a deal. Mr Trump claims the militant group won't make a deal because they know it will have no bargaining chips once they are released.
