An AFL WAG, Chloe Pink has been targeted by cruel online comments after trolls compared her appearance to children’s character Miss Piggy.

The high-profile wife of North Melbourne player Toby Pink says the remark comes just months after experiencing bullying over her wedding photos.

Ms Pink revealed that her stunning wedding day was the first time she had felt “truly beautiful”, until that joy came to an abrupt halt after internet trolls began body-shaming her early 2025.

Chloe married her childhood sweetheart and North Melbourne player Toby Pink in a private ceremony in early March last year before the news was made public.

In a radio interview with Will and Woody on KIIS FM, the influencer shared she had cried for days after receiving vile comments about her appearance until she made a deicison to reshoot her wedding photos after trolls slammed the bride.

Ms Pink decided to then auction of her wedding dress to leading bullying charity, Dolly’s Dream with the updated photo shoot intended to be a positive moment for the couple.

However after posting the updated images to social media, Ms Pink revealed this week on social media that she was receiving phone calls from a blocked number harassing her and calling her ‘Miss Piggy.’

‘Calling me saying, hi piggy, oink oink’ is harassment”.

“It’s cruel, disgusting and cowardly. If you think this is funny, you need serious help.”

The WAG did not shy away from addressing the bullying phone calls, calling out the unnecessary cruelty and highlighting the persistent scrutiny she faces.

After followers flooded to social media in disbelief at the Miss Piggy comparison, Ms Pink took to social media again to reveal that she had reported the calls to Victoria Police.

Phone calls that are found to be harassment can land offenders in prison.

“I see all your kind messages and I’m so grateful for the support.”

“i’m sorry I can’t respond to everyone individually,” she said.

“This was a deliberate and deeply low act. Instead of breaking me, it has lit a fire in my belly. You will never make me feel less than who I am.”

Supporters of the WAG flocked to social media to share support and encouragment to the couple.

One user commented “There’s more of us that stand with you than agains you, far and wide 💞💞”.

Another user commented “I know its hard but ignore them lovely! You’re gorgeous! 😍”.

It comes just months after the Melbourne newlyweds discussed what they feel needs to change online.

“Toby’s first point was we need to teach our children better,” Chloe said.

“We need to educate our sons and daughters that we need to stop talking about people’s bodies. Talk about what their bodies can do, not what they look like.”

The pair also noticed a large number of comments were coming from older generations of men who are generally excused because of their upbringing.

“Unfortunately, it was older men,” she said.

“It sucks. It’s an uncomfortable conversation.”

Chloe said her husband believes the solution is ultimately “up to us men to call it out”, while openly admitting himself that he needs to “do better”.

“These women are sticking up for me, but it’s not women making the comments,” she added.
