Abbie Chatfield’s Tearful Moment Over Creepy Fan Encounter

 broke down in tears on her It's A Lot podcast this week as she detailed a very creepy interaction with a fan. 

Abbie, 30, said she was considering leaving after what she described as an increasing rate of uncomfortable run-ins with fans.

'I feel this disgusting invasion of privacy and invasion of my space and I feel this really gross inequality in the level of parasocial relationship when people are fans of mine and they come up to me and they don't tell me they know who I am,' she explained.

She was quick to point out that '95 per cent' of interactions she has with fans, where people excitedly ask for a photo, are 'fine'.    

'What I would love is for the other 5 percent is, first of all, don't omit that you know me in an attempt to seem like you are cool about meeting me,' she said. 

'What you are doing there is you're lying about the level at which you know me and that's creepy as f***.'

Abbie went on to explain that she and her boyfriend Adam Hyde were at an industry event on Friday night when a fan '.

She added that, with awkward encounters with fans becoming more frequent, nights out are becoming increasingly rare.

'Adam and I were at an event which was supposed to be an industry event. I already have a really hard time geeing myself up to go anywhere,' she said.

'In the past few years, it's become too draining, too exhausting and too stressful because I'm constantly in fear that someone's going to do something like this and ruin my entire f***ing night.'

She continued: 'Adam and I were at this event. We were literally kissing and she pokes her head around and is like: "God, I'd love a relationship like that. [I] love this relationship, you guys are so cute".' 

Abbie added that she would've been fine if it was a one-off comment from a fan or a 'stranger having a chat at the bar.'

However, the interaction was far from over. 

'She then latched onto us all night, she came and sat with my friends, she came outside to the smokers' areas, she followed us around all night,' Abbie said.
