Thousands of Constance Hall’s loyal followers expressed their support for the popular blogger on Friday following a bizarre interview on Channel Seven.
Hall, who has earned a social media fan-base of over 1.1 million people, appeared on The Morning Show to discuss her popularity, her book and – as host Kylie Gillies described it – her “brutally candid and often controversial musings on everyday life”.
But it was the interview itself that provided the controversy.
It began with host Kylie Gillies referring to the 32-year-old as ‘Candice’ and ended with her accusing Hall of hypocrisy.
The exchange went as follows:

She almost always looks very unwashed to me, like she needs a good scrub.
Wow! So someone who isn't 'eloquently' spoken andwho doesn't dress how we would assume she should, (for an interview), doesn't deserve to be spoken to respectfully? I'm not a fan nor a non-fan, (is that term acceptable?), but I do respect what she's doing for women. FFS, if you don't like her, don't watch her, listen to her, or read her.
I don't believe she wants anyone to aspire to be like her, she just wants women to be kind to each other. I wouldn't suggest, not through lack of trying, the message isn't getting through.
She shouldn't expect anyone to fawn all over her, or to not be critical of what she says, just because she preaches about women supporting each other. That doesn't give her a free pass from scrutiny or negative feedback. I'm a woman, she doesn't represent me, and in my opinion, some of her behaviour online has been manipulative, self-interested and cruel - totally in defiance to her brand's motto.
