‘I dreaded the Logies’: The red-carpet burn that left Myf Warhurst devastated

I presented an award. As I stood on that stage I was more nervous than I’d been when I first held hands with a boy at a Saturday afternoon screening of. I looked out into the crowd and saw local TV identities. Legends Bert and Patti Newton were on one side of the room, Molly Meldrum on the other. So many faces from my youth, which I’d previously only seen from a long way away in the corner of a tiny box or in a magazine. It was terrifying and exhilarating all at once.

Then, the bad year happened. This was the rough year when I had left Triple J to work at Triple M with Pete Helliar. I loved working with Pete and he had boundless energy and optimism for the job, but I don’t think I was quite as suited to the realities of commercial radio. The 4am wake-ups were torturous. I was exhausted and stressed. I had little energy or happiness to share, which is not a good place to be when you have three hours of breakfast radio to fill with energy and humour.

Look, there are way worse things that can happen, but at the time I genuinely thought I was being laughed at by the entire town. The worst thing is, I’d never cared too much about clothes but this front-page business left me feeling ashamed. My dad gave me the best advice at the time. He said, “Today’s news, tomorrow’s fish and chip wrapping.” I still use that wisdom to this day, but after that year the shine was definitely off going to the Logies.

Women everywhere are shamed over their politics, their outspokenness, weight , attractiveness, age, or just because they might refuse to play the performative game by being nice or appropriate and give a side eye instead. I kept the bad-dress narrative going by inviting the person from the newspaper who’d sunk their boot in the hardest onto the show, and I burnt the dress in front of her.

Reckon your Grouse Myf . We love ya

Maybe AnnaHeraldSun can respond?

What is she by heritage? Indigenous or non-indigenous? Welsh or Anglo or European?
