Television presenter and model Rebecca Judd has joined the throng of female media personalities coming to the defense of Sunrise host Sam Armytage following photos of her “visible panty line” being released over the weekend by The Daily Mail.
Posting to Instagram on Monday night, the mum-of-four shared a section of an article by The Herald Sun’s Wendy Tuohy, which read, “When I met Sam Armytage at a Christmas event held by Crown’s Ann Peacock last week I told the Sunrise host how much I admire the grit of the TV women who cope with an endless stream of sewage flung by trash mags and other media.”
Alongside the image, the 33-year-old wrote, "Thanks Wendy Tuohy and the Herald Sun for calling out the worst excuse for "journalism" I have ever seen. You expect these rubbish stories from tabloid magazines but not from a business which peddles itself as "news". How the Daily Mail's behaviour is even legal beggars belief (I could go on with this point). And isn't it unfortunate that most of these stories are written by young women. So much for supporting the sisterhood... pffft. It's a sad state of affairs when the Daily Mail "journalists" have become the biggest trolls of all."
The post was accompanied by the hashtags #imwithher #dontclickonthatshit and #loveyousam before being shared with her 590,000 followers.

I'm sick of Rebecca Judd taking any opportunity to give herself publicity. I don't really care what she thinks. She is not a woman whose contribution to society I hold in high regard. (Is that trashing or fair opinion?)
I too am totally disgusted with reporting based on any woman's underwear... it's completely debasing, invasive and pervy ... but I can't help but cynically wonder if The Daily Mail both expected and welcomed our outrage. I think at this juncture we are best served by voting with our feet and refusing to click on any gossip mongering by this ridiculous news(?) source. Let's stand together women and pledge to be no part of tearing each other down #buildherup
