Natasha Lyonne’s Cheeky Take on Hollywood’s Ageism in New Film Role
Natasha Lyonne took an epic swipe at Hollywood’s view of women ageing as she revealed film bosses compared her to her latest character.…
Sylvia Jeffreys and Lisa Wilkinson have for years been an the centre of rumours there was a ‘feud’ between the two former Today show co-stars.
Both women have repeatedly denied the claims over the years, with Sylvia this week insisting she has no idea where the stories came from and she closed the chapter on the chatter once and for all.
‘It’s wild to me, but if anyone understands why it happens, then give us a holler. Because we would love to know’ the A Current Affair host told Stellar Magazine.
The 39-year-old says she’s a big believer in women holding each other up in the television industry.
‘I’d love all women to support women, but I think we’re being too optimistic to expect it, right? Is that a realistic thing? Because you can’t just say all women will support all women’ she said.

‘But I’ve been the beneficiary of women who’ve supported [me] and I’ve been so fortunate to have that experience.
‘Most of them are among my closest friends as well, right across the media landscape.’
Lisa has also previously slammed reports she was feuding with Sylvia.
The former The Project star took to social media to address the allegations published by the Sydney Morning Herald back in 2016, which suggested the pair ‘barely speak off camera’.
‘As you all know @sylviajeffreys and I are great mates and love working together,’ Wilkinson posted to Instagram alongside an image of herself and the blonde beauty.
Her statement continued: ‘But for some bizarre reason, a journalist at the Sydney Morning Herald decided to report on supposed ‘rumours of a rift’ between us…
‘So let me tell you here what I told him – and I quote – ‘complete bull***t!’
‘And when I suggested that the source that contacted him with this ‘rumour’ could be someone not happy with @thetodayshow now being the Number One breakfast show in the country, he agreed. But it was printed anyway.’

The posted continued: ‘Sylvia and I couldn’t enjoy working together, be more supportive, or respect each other more.
‘THAT, in fact, should be the headline! But obviously that sort of good news – or the crazy idea of women supporting women – doesn’t sell newspapers these days. #girlpower.’
Jeffreys quickly shared the words published by her co-host to X, previously known as Twitter, adding: ‘And that is why I love working with @lisa_wilkinson.
‘Nailed it. See you bright and early’.
At the time the Sydney Morning Herald’s Saturday Private Sydney column reported that there had been ‘rumours that their relationship had cooled off dramatically, to the point where the women barely spoke off camera’, though Channel Nine was quick to deny that was the case.
A Channel Nine spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia ‘they were rumours and based on no truth’.
A source close to Wilkinson and Jeffreys also denied such a ‘professional rift’ exists between the show’s main co-host and newsreader.
Explaining they are ‘good friends’, one source told The Sydney Morning Herald that ‘Sylvia sees Lisa as a great supporter and mentor, and Sylvia has nothing but the upmost (sic) respect for Lisa’.
A representative told the publication there are definitely no issues between the pair and ‘they really like each other’.
