Influencer hits back at cruel troll who shames her postpartum body just seven weeks after giving birth

Daily Mail​2 days ago
Christie Swadling lashed out at a cruel troll online on Saturday after they attempted to body shame her following the birth of her first child.
The influencer, 28, welcomed a son named Rocco with her fiancé Joel Price in May, and has since been very open about her postpartum body on Instagram.
But one hater left a vile comment beneath one of her recent photos, telling the new mum to 'get a bit of respect' and not wear revealing clothing post-birth.
Christie took a screenshot of the nasty message and shared it to her Stories alongside the image the troll was criticising.
The picture saw Christie posing with her back to the camera while wearing a form-fitting hot pink dress.

'Everything is hanging out! Get a bit of respect, honey,' said the critic.
Christie quickly hit back at them, writing: 'God forbid a woman's body changes after giving birth (7 weeks postpartum, might I add).'
It comes after Christie shared a candid look at her postpartum figure, two days after giving birth to a healthy baby boy in May.
She shared a gallery of maternity content to social media at the time, confirming she had given birth to her first child.
A few days later, she filmed herself wearing a pair of nude underwear and a slip dress, which she held up over her belly as she examined it in her bathroom mirror.
'Women are so incredible! Entering motherhood with nothing but love for my body and what it can do, no rush to bounce back or change,' she captioned the post.
'Also humbling when I get home and Rocco's older brother asks why I still look pregnant.'
In a second photo of baby Rocco wrapped in his designer swaddle blanket, Christie shared the quote a second time.
But one hater left a vile comment beneath one of her recent photos, telling the new mum to 'get a bit of respect' and not wear revealing clothing post-birth
'Kaden this afternoon: "How come you still look kinda pregnant?" Love kids x,' she captioned the photo of her newborn.
In further baby updates, posted to her 122,000 Instagram followers, Christie wrote: 'My world is now complete and I'm so in love.
'Being a new mum can be so challenging and I'm really entering this with open arms and zero judgement towards myself, as him and I are both learning each other.
'But I'm so in love and truly this is the best achievement in the entire world.'
The fitness influencer said her first afternoon at home with Rocco was full of 'bonding time' with his brother and visiting family members, as well as 'a well-deserved glass of wine and takeaway food'.

Aussie influencer unleashes after being axed by popular fragrance brand Who Is Elijah - and then is hit with an ominous warning: 'Tread carefully'

A famous Aussie influencer and popular Sydney-based brand are embroiled in an online feud after a planned collaboration turned sour - with both sides going public with their different version of events. Sarah Stevenson - better known as Sarah's Day - took to Instagram on Saturday to reveal that her much-anticipated collaboration with fragrance company Who Is Elijah had come to an unexpected end. 'Two years ago they reached out to me to make a fragrance with them and, as you know, I have documented the entire process,' she said in the viral clip. 'You guys have come along on the journey and we were all really excited. 'Unfortunately it's no longer happening and I'm sure you're asking why, and honestly we are asking the same question. We don't have the answers for you,' she said. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Sarah's fans poured into the comments section to support the mum-of-three, while also questioning what happened behind the scenes and if there was a contract in place. In response, the influencer claimed: 'Unfortunately I just started making content in good faith because I was so committed and excited.... contract is only really useful once the product was launched.' However, the online rant backfired when Who Is Elijah's CEO Adam Bouris hit back, calling Sarah's claims 'absolutely rubbish'. Adam claimed that Who Is Elijah offered for Sarah to continue the fragrance with her own brand, which he claimed she declined. 'I would tread carefully here,' he wrote. In response, Sarah and her husband Kurt Tilse attempted to put out the fire, saying that, although they believed the situation being handled badly, the mumfluencer hadn't 'said a bad thing'. 'Put yourself in my shoes,' Sarah addressed the CEO. She added: 'I've been promoting this and working on it for over 24 months. 'I would have really appreciated a call or even an email to me. Not an email to one of my team members after being ghosted,' she said, adding: 'My own team had to call me and tell me the news.' Her partner Kurt added, 'Sarah hasn't said a single thing bad … She has simply let her community know that it's not going ahead.' Who Is Elijah founder Raquel Bouris then also joined the online conversation surrounding the failed deal to explain her side of the story, branding some of Sarah's claims 'untrue'. 'We ended a contract well within the agreed terms, there was no breach … The idea that two years of work went into this is simply untrue,' she said in an Instagram video posted on Sunday. Raquel went on to say that the project only started in May 2024 and involved a minimal amount of hours that she could count 'on one, maybe two hands'. 'There's no scandal here, no villain. Just a strategic decision for the future of my business, one I fully stand by,' she added. Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, Raquel said that she had seen a lot of online hate following Sarah's initial video. 'I received a lot of mean messages and negative comments across my socials and Who Is Elijah. 'This is not something we have experienced before,' she said, before adding that it 'hurt her soul'. 'It didn't need to be a scandal, it's sad the other party is fueling a negative story in the comments,' she said. 'I don't have an issue with the video she posted at all - but the comments we have seen from her on the post she did, plus old videos of her in our office to further fuel the negativity is not ok.' 'We are a growing business, and I made the decision to cease the collaboration as a business decision. No hate to Sarah, I wish her all the best.'

Sam Kerr's fiancée Kristie Mewis looks strained as she steps out with Matildas superstar in Perth after getting some awful news

Football star Kristie Mewis wore a strained expression while stepping out in Perth with fiancée Sam Kerr and new son Jagger, just days after confirming her shock departure from West Ham. The new family of three, who recently returned from a beachside holiday in Spain, made a rare public appearance together in Kerr's home town on Sunday morning. The sporting power couple, dressed casually with their two-month-old son in a carrier, enjoyed brunch with Kerr's parents before later catching up with Matildas star Emily van Egmond. Kerr is back in Perth for the Matildas' matches in Western Australia, with their last outing against Panama coming on Tuesday. The Matildas skipper is not part of the Aussie squad for the four friendlies as she continues to recover from the serious knee injury she sustained in January last year. Last week, West Ham announced that Mewis's time with the club has come to an end. The 34-year-old joined the Hammers in 2023, but only managed four appearances during her spell with the Women's Super League club. She had just got back into training in preparation for a return to the field before the sad news about her career became public. Club manager Rehanne Skinner said: 'On behalf of everyone at the Club, I would like to thank Kristie for her contributions to West Ham United during her time in east London. 'Kristie has been unlucky with injuries since she joined us so probably hasn't played in the famous Claret and Blue as many times as she would have liked, but it's still been a total pleasure having someone of her calibre and experience within our team environment. 'As Kristie starts to navigate her new norm of motherhood, we fully appreciate that her priorities have changed and so, whatever the future has in store for her and her family, I would like to wish them all the very best.' Mewis confirmed the news later with a heartfelt message on Instagram, expressing gratitude to the Hammers for the support they provided. 'Even though my time at West Ham was not what I envisioned, I still learned so much and met so many amazing people,' she said. 'Everyone, but especially my teammates were incredibly supportive through my injury and pregnancy and I can't thank them enough for it. Nothing has been more important to me than football… but having my son has changed that. Mewis (pictured left with Kerr and van Egmond) revealed her shock at her exit from West Ham, writing that her time with the club was 'not what I envisioned' 'Thank you @westhamwomen and thank you for helping me become a mom.' Kerr and Mewis' relationship began around 2020, gaining public attention during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 when they shared a heartfelt moment on the field. They officially confirmed their relationship in August 2021 through an Instagram post. In September 2023, they got engaged, announcing it publicly in November of the same year. Their engagement was followed by the news in November 2024 that they were expecting their first child. They are expected to marry in December this year.

He talked about his childhood in an interview with the Herald Sun in 2018 as he said: 'My Dad... was born in 1908. That's a very different time to what it was when he was raising me. 'He must have gone through a strange misunderstanding of how you were parented in 1908 versus how you parent in 1972; it would have been so conflicting. Also how you be a husband in that period of time would have been different. ' His final role was a bit of a full circle moment as he portrayed the Australian Prime Minister in Netflix murder mystery series The Residence.
