Abbie’s post from $15k-a-night hotel sparks backlash

Abbie Chatfield has shared a post from her $15k-a-night hotel in Italy, with her comment about the luxe venue’s food sparking backlash.

Podcaster Abbie Chatfield has been slammed for her “tone deaf” post while holidaying through Europe.

The former Bachelor contestant and her boyfriend, Konrad Bien-Stephens, headed to Scotland last week where they attended a friend’s wedding.

The 26-year-old shared several posts from the getaway including her very racy wedding guest outfit — a very thigh-high slit dress — and also snaps from their business class flight.

One video showed the pair sipping on champagne and enjoying the perks of their upgrade.

But fans had a lot to say when Abbie revealed she ditched the business lounge — where food and drinks are free — in favour of a mainstream airport bar.

She said the “vibes” were better there.

However, the comment rubbed some followers the wrong way who noted that opting for pricey drinks at an airport bar over free options in the business lounge was “privileged” behaviour.

But it wasn’t until Abbie and Konrad headed to Venice, Italy - where they are currently — when the backlash really began.

The 26-year-old shared snaps showing off their upgraded hotel suite, which according to Abbie, cost $15,000 per night.

When they dined at the hotel’s fancy restaurant for dinner, the pair appeared unimpressed by the expensive menu.

“Lesson learnt from this trip: Rich people and ‘rich’ experiences are boring. Just FYI. Get me to a gelato shop stat,” she wrote in a selfie.

Some followers took to Twitter claiming that the radio host was trying too hard to appear “relatable” — and it wasn’t working.

“Please just appreciate these things because there are so many of us who will never get the chance,” one user wrote.

“I like Abbie but this isn’t cool. Stop complaining about your super expensive trip! Just own it! This is not a ‘haha I’m so relatable’ thing,” another added.

Others agreed the It’s A Lot podcast host should just “own her wealth”.

“I have no issue with flexing your wealth but if you’re gonna do it, own it, don’t then complain about your super expensive luxury travel not being as vibey as the way poor people travel? Especially when MOST people haven’t travelled in years and won’t for another few years.”
