Skye Wheatley rose to fame after appearing on the 2014 season of Big Brother.
She's since gone on tobecome a successful influencer and YouTuber, with more than a million followers across her social media platforms.
Skye also shares two sons, Forest and Bear, with her longtime boyfriend Lachlan Waugh.
Earlier this week Skye took part in a question-and-answer session on her Instagram which saw her respond to a follower who asked: "What is more dominant in bed?"
In response Skye wrote: "Hahahahahahhahahahhahahaa me โฆ but only when he mad and says he doesn't wonna have sex (sic.)"

She added that "ain't no body telling me no โฆ I won't take no for an answer if I want sessi time (sic)."
Skye also added a poll asking her followers if they "can relate", with the choice of response "100 per cent" or "I feel rejected".
Skye's response was soon screenshot and circulated online, with feminist and author Clementine Ford among those to call out her "harmful" comments.
"One of the terrible legacies of the patriarchy is the belief that men can't be subjected to sexual assault or coercion when the perpetrator is a woman," Ford wrote on Instagram.
Others labelled Skye's comments "disgusting" and "f**ked" on Twitter.
