Bec Judd spotted in Prahan after sparking outrage over ‘insensitive’ shirt
Bec Judd was spotted in Prahan on Tuesday getting her hair done after receiving a firestorm of criticism for her “Free Melbourne” stance.
Bec Judd has been spotted in Melbourne after sparking a firestorm of outrage over her “Free Melbourne” T-shirt.
The businesswoman and WAG was spotted leaving Uva Salon in the up-market Melbourne suburb of Prahan with freshly tended-to tresses.
Judd sported a face mask and a jacket from her activewear line Jaggad, which she paired with black skinny jeans and a neoprene handbag.
The 37-year-old has been among the first Melburnians to get their hair cut after Premier Daniel Andrews lifted restrictions allowing hairdressers to open on Monday.

Yesterday Judd was labelled “insensitive” after wearing a “Free Melbourne” T-shirt in a series of Instagram story posts.
The 3pm Pick-Up host wore the T-shirt, which costs $40 and supports Beyond Blue, in videos of her doing her hair and makeup routine.
Screenshots of the clips and Judd’s hashtag #FreeMelbourne were shared to Twitter where she was mocked for the anti-lockdown stance.
People labelled Judd’s posts “embarrassing” given her lockdown circumstances had been far more favourable than others in Melbourne.
The businesswoman lives in a $7.3 million mansion in Brighton with her husband, former AFL player Chris Judd, and their four children.
“Bec Judd is genuinely so embarrassing. Imagine post like 8 insta stories of sponsored content a couple days after dropping another line of $200 leggings and then wearing a ‘Free Melbourne’ tshirt as if she’s imprisoned in her f***ing mansion,” one person tweeted.
But not everyone agreed with the harsh criticism of Judd, arguing that she had a right to her opinion and was a Melbourne business owner herself.
Judd has previously expressed support for Melbourne’s harsh lockdown and in July slammed a rule that allowed people who don’t have a garden but had tested positive for coronavirus to leave their homes to exercise.
She also called for parts of Melbourne with coronavirus outbreaks to be locked down in the early days of the state’s second wave.
“As a Victorian, I would like to see Melbourne hot spot suburbs put into lockdown as well,” Judd wrote on Instagram in July.
“Not sure what @danielandrewsmp is waiting for? Hundreds more cases? The whole of Victoria to become reinfected? Short term pain, long term gain.”
But last month Judd slammed “Dictator Dan” over the ongoing stage four lockdown in an Instagram story promoting a pair of children’s cubby houses from novelty store The Little Cardboard Co.
“Perfect for iso and upcoming school holidays as it seems Dictator Dan will be locking Victorians in our homes even longer,” she wrote, with a rolling eyes emoji.
