Bec Judd fires back at ‘eat a burger’ comments
Bec Judd has hit back at online haters, revealing the comment she gets the most actually doesn’t bother her the way it’s intended to.
Speaking on the podcast Darling, Shine! the model and mum-of-four said her long and slender figure leaves many people commenting about her weight but she gives “zero f—-“.
“I always got ‘eat a burger’, ‘eat a steak’,” the Channel 9 personality told host Ellidy Pullin.
Pullin said she was shocked about how many people wrote in asking them to ask Judd about her diet and figure.
”It’s something that I always get targeted about,” the TV personality admitted
“A lot of people don’t understand, even when they look at my sister, she’s exactly the same as me that you look at my mum, she’s 62 and she’s exactly like me, and she’s tall and lean – we are tall and we are really, really lean and we eat whatever we want and we are super healthy.”
Judd, who is married to and shares four children with former AFL star Chris Judd, says she’s been “really lucky, touch wood, in life, I’ve always been super fertile, I don’t get sick often”.

She credits this to her “super fast metabolism through genetics” and appreciates a lot of people don’t understand that when they try all the dieting and exercise they like and struggle to look the same.
The 42-year-old said she’s always had comments about her body, ever since stepping out into the public eye alongside Chris at the Brownlow Medal in 2004 in that plunging red dress.
“I’ve got a lot related to how I look so skinny or anorexic,” Judd said.
Over the years, the media personality has learned how to harness social media controls to reduce the impact on her mental health along with that of other fans.

“Because I don’t want those comments on there, because then there’s a huge fight from my fans and it ends up just being a place of negativity, I don’t want my page to be that,” Judd said.
“So I’ve got really tight comment controls, and it’s a way … that you can manage it with comment controls, and it doesn’t stop everything coming in. So I started doing that, and then I just got to the point where now I just give zero f—-.
“So if there’s some troll stuff that sneaks through, I don’t even care. Usually I just go block, delete, not even think about it, and I don’t go back to them. I don’t try and engage. I just move on.”
During the wide-ranging chat, the pair also discussed beauty hacks, the family juggle and Instagram versus reality.
