AFL WAG slams online troll for leaving slur on family photo
Mikayla Fantasia, wife of Carlton's Orazio, took to TikTok to expose the man after he commented 'spastic' on an Instagram picture of the couple with their baby daughter Sofia.
She went a step further to get back at the man by zooming in on the man's profile and exposing the name of his workplace.
'POV: Your husband kicks 2.2 and some guy still comments 'spastic' on our family photo. Found his business on Instagram too. Stay classy, mate!' the video was captioned.
The troll's offensive remark came after Orazio kicked two goals in Carlton's shocking loss to Port Adelaide on Thursday night last week.
Paris Tier, partner of GWS Giants Conor Stone, applauded Fantasia for the public comeback.

'I think you need to stay humble and not overreact. Your husband is in the spotlight and people can have an opinion. Learn to deal with it!' one person commented. Orazio and Mikayla Fantasia with their daughter Sofia. Credit: Instagram @mikayla.fantasia
Fantasia didn't hold back.
'Of course people are allowed to have opinions. But calling someone a 'spastic' isn't an opinion, it's just offensive. I didn't know football discussion needed slurs to make a point. Nice try,' she replied.

Debbie Harry describes cosmetic surgery as necessary for her career
Debbie Harry has described cosmetic surgery as necessary for her career. The Blondie singer, 80, spoke candidly to Vanity Fair about her decision to undergo plastic surgery, saying it helped her feel more confident and better about herself. She revealed: 'As far as me having cosmetic surgery, it made me feel better about myself. Maybe it made me feel happy, or more confident.' Debbie added the procedures were something she felt she needed at the time. She said: 'I wanted to work, and so much of women being attractive, and being a selling point, is clearly showbiz. 'If you're going to be in the business, be in it.' Debbie also reflected on the pressure entertainers face regarding their appearance, noting cosmetic surgery now starts at much younger ages. 'It's not like I started having cosmetic surgery as a kid in school — I think nowadays a lot of girls are getting cosmetic surgery when they're 10, 11 years old,' she said. Debbie added: 'God bless if it improves their lives and they feel happy.' Her openness follows a recent wave of celebrities discussing their own cosmetic procedures. Khloe Kardashian, 41, recently responded in the comments of a reel by Dr Jonathan Betteridge, detailing her nose job and what she described as 'salmon sperm facials'. Kylie Jenner, 27, has also revealed the specifics of her breast augmentation after a TikTok user asked about her 'most perfect, natural boob job ever'. Jenner wrote online: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!!' Meanwhile, Kris Jenner, 69, praised her surgeon Dr Garth Fisher in an Instagram comment, recalling her first facelift in 2011. 'You made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid,' Kris said. Fans have compared Kris' refreshed look to her supermodel daughter Kendall, 29. A representative confirmed Dr Steven Levine of New York is responsible for Kris' youthful appearance. Kristin Cavallari, 38, recently shared details of her breast augmentation on Instagram Stories, saying: 'I was 300 cc before and now I'm 340. 'Everyone thinks I went a lot bigger but I've just pushed them up a couple of times since getting them done.'

Channel Ten sacked ‘blindsided' Australian Survivor host Jonathan La Paglia through 'clinical and cold' email, sources reveal
Sources have revealed the shocking truth about how Channel Ten really sacked "blindsided" Australian Survivor host Jonathan La Paglia. A Ten spokesperson on Monday confirmed the upcoming season of Survivor: Australia V The World will be the last series hosted by La Paglia, who already filmed the show before its premiere in the coming months. 'JLP has brought a unique blend of authority, intelligence and empathy to his role as host of Australian Survivor over the last 10 years," the spokesperson told in a statement. "Acting as a referee and managing the intense pressure of the game while also acknowledging the human drama unfolding, JLP has been a compelling and memorable figure in the world of Survivor." Despite no apparent signs of animosity between the network and La Paglia amid his sudden axing on Monday, the TV host appeared to suggest otherwise in a statement addressing his departure on Instagram. "Australian Survivor has seen some of the most epic blindsides over the last 10 years, but this one might just be the craziest of them all…because it happened to me," the 55-year-old wrote in a caption on Monday. "Whoever said a blindside is the most humane way to put someone down is an idiot. It hurts like a bitch!" La Paglia said he found out about his sacking through a phone call from Ten informing him Survivor was "going in a different direction" next season. However, production first told the TV veteran he was out of a job via a "clinical" and "cold" email, Daily Mail Australia reported on Wednesday. Before Ten had a chance to break the news to La Paglia, the host received an email from Survivor's production company, Endemol Shine Australia. "He got an email first. That was the initial comms from EndemolShine,' a source told the publication. "Then a call came from Ten, but by then it was already done. "It's really not how you treat someone who's been part of the show for almost a decade." La Paglia reportedly received the sudden email before he had finished filming Survivor: Australia vs. The World, set to air mid-to-late this year. And the decision to let him go was made well before the season began filming last year but was kept a secret to avoid overshadowing the show. One source said the move was "locked in" for months, but production wanted to "avoid backlash during the show's filming and post-promotion." Former model and Australian Survivor: All-Stars champion David Genant is reportedly tipped to replace La Paglia as host of the game show. Genant recently won $8.7 million on the US TV game show Deal or No Deal Island and is set to compete in Survivor: Australia V The World. The new season will mark the TV star's third time on the series, and he has previously hosted popular travel shows Rush and Getaway. Neverthelss, a production insider told Daily Mail Australia not everyone is convinced he's La Paglia's best replacement. "He doesn't fit the brief," the insider said. "He's charismatic, sure - but Survivor needs someone with gravitas. David is not Jonathan, and viewers will notice that." The massive shakeup at 10 comes as Australian Survivor struggles with a rating slump. The last season, Brains vs. Brawn II, saw viewership dip to 486,000 total overnight viewers, a far cry from the many millions it attracted in its prime. Survivor features a group of contestants known as "castaways" living in an isolated outdoor location in Samoa. There, they must provide for themselves by gathering food, water, fire, and shelter while competing in challenges for awards and immunity. The castaways are progressively eliminated by their peers, with the last member crowned Sole Survivor and awarded the grand prize of $500,000.

'It's not like I started having cosmetic surgery as a kid in school — I think nowadays a lot of girls are getting cosmetic surgery when they're 10, 11 years old,' she said. 'God bless if it improves their lives and they feel happy.' The golden-haired singer's candid confession comes amid a spate of celebrity plastic surgery tell-alls.
