Influencer and media personality Abbie Chatfield has come out swinging on social media after claiming a group of "boomers" audibly "slut-shamed" her choice of ensemble while dining at a restaurant.

The Australian TV host and former The Bachelor star, 28, proudly modelled her daring cut-out bodice in a video that issued a scathing response to the diners who allegedly criticised the outfit while she was in earshot.

Sharing the clap-back with her 457,000 Instagram followers on Saturday, Chatfield revealed that the "slut-shaming" was committed by an older man and his wife, who were seated at the table next to her and her friends.

According to Chatfield, the man told his wife he'd be "ashamed" if their daughter wore the same top in public, with the couple and their group continuing to "loudly bitch" about her attire.

"Sorry you have nothing left to talk about in ur crusty relationships [sic]," Chatfield hit back in the caption of her video.   

"Ur kids probably would be the ones ashamed if they heard what you were saying! Me wearing a hot top doesn't compare to you spending your night focusing on my tits and making it the main topic of conversation [sic]."  

In her Instagram Story, Chatfield also revealed how she had responded to the situation at the time, noting that her friends had "loudly" alerted her to the man's comments.  

"I called him a sexist pig loud enough so he [could] hear," she added. "Sorry, John."

Chatfield's fierce clap-back has since been flooded with messages of support, with many women applauding her self-confidence and ability to stand up for herself.

"I'd be more upset if my daughter was this hot and didn't wear this top out," joked one, with another adding: "Thanks for being so positive about this. My 14-year-old daughter got screamed at by a woman for wearing her bikini up to the shops at the beach - meanwhile boys with no shirts on. I hate the hypocrisy."  

"Hopefully their daughters would be ashamed that their mothers are out here shaming younger women for just existing in their body," a third weighed in, with a fourth adding: "My daughter can wear whatever she wants - it's her way of expressing herself. And I'm proud of her! Abbie, you look gorgeous."  

Chatfield competed for Matt Agnew's heart on The Bachelor Australia in 2019.  

In 2020, she shared a horrifyingly violent death-threat that had been sent to her via an audio clip, revealing that the voice note was just one of the hundreds of abusive messages she'd received after appearing on the reality TV show.   

It's far from the first time a public figure has been publicly shamed for their choice of attire. Early last year, Vanesita Medina - a model and lawyer who previously won a Miss Fitness contest in Bolivia - was widely shamed online for wearing a revealing outfit while taking her son to school.   

Medina and her figure-hugging playsuit went viral after a disgruntled parent covertly filmed the mum during a morning school run in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. In the footage, the peeved parent can be heard muttering that Medina's attire is "inappropriate" in front of young children.  

Earlier this year, OnlyFans creator Elle Brooke was praised for her "perfect" response to controversial broadcaster Piers Morgan's "very misogynistic question" after he asked what her future children might think of her career.  

"Are you going to be proud that you have your little ones and they look at you and go: 'Didn't you want to be a lawyer?' and you go, 'Yeah, but look at all my stuff'," the 58-year-old asked her, to which Brooke hit back: "They can cry in a Ferrari."
