Well said Josie " your on their mind, their not on yours " so true.. need to remember this quote...

I don't agree with body shaming but since when is your outfit your body?

[miguelb]

Watching just because I love her and think she is always so eloquent

[agneag]

She is in a wrong, if you talk about women and objectification please dress as un provocatively for people to pay attention to what you say. This is what we all do when we WORK. Self expression keep for other occasions

[fd]

Are we "shaming men here?" 'cause I don't think a wide range of us couldn't care one iota what or not is the latest fashion trends for a woman to wear. I "dare" to say that there are far more women out there who are ... well .. jealous ... or commenting on other female's dress clothes and "sizes" than there are men who do the same.

[rebelraccoon]

'Abuse'. She should travel a bit out side her safe bubble where women are actually abused. Someone didn’t like her outfit. Get over yourself for goodness sake.

[Tosca]

Getting death threats because of her weight…appalling! These people need to be found and held accountable!

[CatsandJP]

Ashley is taking this too far……that’s not body shaming……that is out of context….that is shaming “how you dress” and there is a lot more offensive dressing than showing a bit cleavage….but she obviously has an agenda she want people to take notice of and peruse….she just needs to get over herself and lighten up.

[christinamurray]

Is it body-shaming to criticise somebody’s clothing? I don’t think that’s shaming their body personally- and I think in including that as body shaming, we trivialise the victims of real body shaming (which are both women *and* men)

[kurt]

No one's shaming her body. It's just an awful suit and she's looking for something to say so she can stay on television

[sasquatchwithinternetacces]

Not shaming her body, but the jacket is horrible

[agneag]

I generally think news people and jounalists wearing colourful stuff is appalling

[avatr]

Wait
she's an Airhead.

Criticising dressing sense isnt body shaming

[maryheeney]

It's a suit what is wrong with it who ever is giving out is jealous your beautiful

[turquoiseturtle]

It was too much for a morning TV program with the cleavage (which you can’t not look at, really) and also the sticking out bits on the arms are too much & not cool.

[saimazia]

Rochelle also needs to wear appropriate clothes, she always wears revealing clothes

[julietbryden]

No affence lve seen interesting fashion over the last 40years. Majority of women wearing 80s with shoulder pads. Etc. 1970s punk era, (l personal opinion Ashley was wearing was quite different. I live on the east coast of Australia. 😮😊
