Fox FM star Brendan Fevola came to the defence of his co-host Fifi Box on Thursday, after a cruel troll slammed her for being a working single mother.
Over the weekend, Box, 47, appeared in a photoshoot for Stellar Magazine in which she was photographed with her children Beatrix, 10, and Daisy, four, to mark Mother’s Day.
Box later shared the photos to social media, prompting one troll to criticise her for dating as a single mother,
‘We should encourage marriage before children. If the parents break up instead of looking for another partner focus on raising children,’ they began.
‘People should not be encouraged to start a family without a partner. Family is the fabric of society.’

The comment quickly caught the attention of Fevola, 43, who leapt to his co-star’s defence on the Fifi, Fev & Nick breakfast show – and brutally slammed the troll.
‘I think that is the biggest load of s**t I’ve ever heard. If women want to be a single parent, they can be. You can still be successful,’ Fevola began.
‘I don’t normally read comments, but I came across this one and it got me a bit angry. You are a single parent, and you do a wonderful job.
‘This bloke thinks that you can’t have children and be successful because you are not worrying about your kids. What is that drivel?

‘Your children are great. They love you, you love them. You’ve got great family support around you. You’ve got your Mum and your Dad, and everyone helps out, a wonderful life,’ he added.
An appreciative Fifi thanked Fevola for speaking out against the outdated views the troll expressed.
‘I do appreciate you standing up for me, that is lovely. I honestly ignore trolls, he’s got a very conservative, old-fashioned opinion,’ she said.
Fifi welcomed her first daughter in 2013 with former Australian Ironman Grant Kenny, and her second daughter via IVF in 2019.
In August, Box went public with her romance with her ‘hot dad’ partner Rocky Mangano, and the two are still going strong.
