Today was not a good day for Sam Frost.
You’d think a smart, funny, talented woman with a primo job and a bright future would have nothing but blissful days marked in her calendar. But today Sam Frost could be forgiven for heading straight home to snuggle under her doona.
The Bachelorette star-turned-radio-host has been forced – yet again – to address a slew of not-so-nice rumours that she and boyfriend Sasha Mielczarek are going through an ugly split.
In a scathing Instagram post, Sam took down New Idea and every other media outlet that continues to drag her relationship through the mud, while also insinuating her love life is really the only interesting thing about her.
“New Idea get a f–king life! For the one millionth time, Sash and I have not split. In fact we are stronger than ever,” she wrote on her Instagram account, which she has since shut down. Along with her public Facebook page.
What's worse is that this latest event comes hot on the heels of a broken Sam publicly admitting that heavy trolling and continued scrutiny had gotten the better of her, tweeting: “To the fake accounts heavily trolling me online & into my personal life. If you wanted to break me. Congratulations you have won. #broken.”
Sam followed this up with an emotional outpouring on her breakfast radio show, Rove and Sam, where she said:
"I don’t think people really understand the impact of it. Young kids and people, including myself get bullied on a daily basis.

Bullying is never acceptable, but I don't think Sam should be complaining about constant speculation that she and her boyfriend have broken up. She has traded publicising her love life for fame, money, and a radio job for which she is unqualified (unqualified as in, no one's FIRST radio gig is a breakfast show with Rove McManus). If it weren't for the public's interest in her romantic entanglements, she'd still be working at the Mornington Peninsula Gardens and Lifestyle Magazine. The question is, should the level of interest be on her terms, or the public's terms - if it's her terms that's fine, but she should be prepared for the public to lose interest. I'm sure there is 'more to her' than her love life, as she says, but only in the same way that every human being is interesting in their own way - and not everyone's earning $250,000 a year.
Perfectly said!!!!!
Shed be pissed off if the public lost all interest in her
Or, maybe we should all take Sam Frost's advice and "get a ... life".
Well said. Reading this did make me feel for Sam but there is definitely a "well, you asked for it!" in there as well, if I'm to be honest. It really is a perfect example of "be careful what you wish for"...especially if that wish is for celebrity status built on a scaffold of sheer vacuousness.
Seems like a pointless article, really.
