Calling out Australian gossip columnist Andrew Hornery for his “b****y” article, ‘Who will fall victim to the TV networks’ guillotine?,’ Sam, 44, quipped on Twitter, “How’s your newspaper going? Because last time I looked, it was about as thin as Victoria Beckham. Congratulations.”
Needless to say, not everyone was impressed with Sam’s words.
“Using another woman’s figure for a comeback, real classy,” one user replied.
“Body shaming Victoria Beckham. Stay classy Sam!” penned another.
Others, however, defended the Sunrise host for sticking to her guns.
“Keep being you Sam…you are smashing it, and keep that gorgeous laughter going,” one fan wrote.
“Well done Sam. Keep being strong and don’t put up with their bs!” another noted.
New Idea previously reported there’s talk Sam wants to step away from the spotlight.
There’s also whispers the 44-year-old journalist wants to get into local politics in country NSW, now that she’s marrying millionaire landowner Richard Lavender.
“Her hideous Sunrise hours will not work with the two-hour commute to his property. As always, it will be breakfast TV musical chairs during the non-ratings summer period.”
