Father of axed Channel Seven reporter Inga Neilsen is accused of trolling her former female colleagues on social media including a nasty 'too much Botox and fillers' jibe

The father of recently axed  reporter Inga Neilsen has become embroiled in his own controversy after allegedly posting a series of scathing comments about several of his daughter's former colleagues on social media.

Neilsen accepted a voluntary redundancy last month during the broadcaster's latest round of job cuts.

According to The Australian, her father Peter Neilsen has spent recent weeks leaving remarks underneath Channel Seven's  and Instagram posts, allegedly singling out the network's female journalists and taking aim at their appearance and professionalism. 

Among those reportedly targeted were Seven reporters Clementine Cuneo, Taylor Aiken and Emily Francis.

Mr Neilsen allegedly described one journalist as having 'too much and ', claimed another 'would turn milk sour', and referred to a third as 'the work experience girl'.

Veteran Seven reporter Patrick Burns also reportedly came under fire, with Mr Neilsen allegedly branding him 'a dreadful reporter'.

In contrast, Seven journalist Andrew Denney was reportedly praised by Mr Neilsen, who allegedly described him as 'a good reporter'. 

The alleged comments have raised eyebrows because they were made while Mr Neilsen was simultaneously criticising Seven's workplace culture following his daughter's departure from the network.

In posts cited by The Australian, he reportedly claimed the broadcaster remained 'a men's club' and suggested female employees had been expected to 'put up or shut up' when it came to workplace bullying and sexual harassment.

He also reportedly called for Four Corners to investigate the broadcaster, writing that staff who had recently left would eventually feel relieved to have escaped what he described as a 'very toxic workplace'.

According to The Australian, Seven insiders have questioned the apparent contradiction between those claims and Mr Neilsen's own alleged comments directed towards female journalists.

One newsroom source told the publication it was difficult to reconcile his criticism of alleged bullying at Seven with what they described as repeated online trolling of women working at the network.

The insider said executives should consider blocking his account and taking action over the posts.

The publication reports Seven management is aware of the situation and has been monitoring the comments.

Mr Neilsen is understood to be the principal of Peak Hill Central School in regional New South Wales. 

The school's values promote respect, responsibility and a zero-tolerance approach to bullying.
