Rose Matafeo, Matilda Rice and Hayley Holt all support Chrystal Chenery and Alex Casey's column.
A column defending Dancing With the Stars runner-up Chrystal Chenery has earned the support of some of the country's biggest stars.
The Spinoff writer Alex Casey wrote the piece "In defence of Chrystal Chenery" yesterday, praising the reality star for rejecting radio host Dom Harvey's apology and standingup for herself.
Chenery and Harvey became embroiled in a feud this week, after the radio presenter posted an unsavoury photo of the DWTS competitor across social media.
He later removed the post and apologised for his actions.
"The fact that Chrystal has not accepted Dom's apology feels like a watershed moment. For so long he has offended so many people, scooching by with a mild apology and so many bosses turning a blind eye that every suit at MediaWorks must need a seeing-eye dog by now," she wrote.
She says the incident has revealed something far bigger and more concerning than a spat between to public figures.
"This feud has become a deeply troubling representation of the hatred towards women who stand up for themselves, and wish to protect and defend their rights to their own bodies," she wrote.
Fellow MediaWorks employee Rose Matafeo also came out swinging in support, writing: "My friend Alex articulates exactly why Dom is a piece of s*** in the most intelligent and funny way possible".
