“Wh*re” & “Rude B*tch”: Leigh Sales Shares Horrifying Abuse She Received Following ScoMo Interview

7.30 host Leigh Sales has taken to Twitter to share the horrifying abuse she received online following her interview with Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday night.

Sales said it was just a “fraction” of the “non-stop” and “sexualised abuse” she receives whenever she interviews the prime minister.

She said: “As I sometimes do to keep a spotlight on this, I just spent a few minutes collecting a fraction of the sexualised abuse I get every time I interview a Prime Minister – female politicians, journalists, public figures get this non-stop.”

Sales was called a “rude bitch”, “whore” and “in desperate need of a vibrator” by online trolls.

She was attacked for being both too hard and too soft on Morrison, with another user suggesting Sales “sits on his lap whenever she ‘interviews’ him”.

Fellow journalists and other Twitter users backed Sales, including WPP chief customer officer Sunita Gloster.
