Bachelor in Paradise star Abbie Chatfield reveals the hurtful comment her ex-boyfriend made after she had an abortion
Abbie Chatfield has revealed the hurtful comment her ex-boyfriend made just hours after she had an abortion in March 2018.
Speaking on her It’s A Lot podcast this week, the reality star, 25, said that her former partner was not very supportive and made a cruel comment hours after she returned home.
‘When I had my abortion, my ex-boyfriend who I loved was not supportive at all… He yelled at me in the car and when we got to my mum’s house, I was really upset and in physical and emotional pain,’ she said.

‘It was awful, it was horrendous and I was obviously crying and he gave me cuddles and then he said “I’ve got to go babe, I’m going to go out with the boys”,’ she added.
Abbie said she begged him to stay with her and she was ‘grabbing on to his shirt and crying’ but he pulled her hand away and made an extremely hurtful comment.
She said: ‘I remember I was grabbing on to his shirt crying as he was trying to walk away and he pulled my hand away from his shirt and just said “you’re pathetic”.’
Abbie explained this made her feel extremely upset and she was already feeling ‘sad about the guilt, the physical pain, the emotional pain, the confusion and the fact that she’d paid a decent amount of money.’

The former Bachelor star revealed she had an abortion several months before filming the show in October last year.
Abbie told the Shameless podcast that the discussions about pregnancy and babies on set were upsetting in light of her experience.
‘At that time, I felt very guilty for saying that I wanted kids because I had aborted one in March last year,’ she said.

Abbie went on to say that producers didn’t know about her abortion before the show.
It didn’t become common knowledge until she ‘whispered’ her secret to Matt Agnew one day during filming. A crew member overhead her and said, ‘Abbie, you’re going to have to say it out loud.’
‘Then I turned around, looked dead in the camera and said, “I had a f**king abortion last year!”‘ she revealed.
