AustralianTV presenter Joh Griggs takes on 'rubbish' Woman's Day

Another week, another blistering Woman's Day take-down.

This time, the weekly Australian women's magazine, published by Bauer Media, has been taken to task on social media over its "rubbish" articles by Channel 7 television presenter and former Australian swimmer, Johanna Griggs.

Griggs' fury comes after the glossy published an article about her titled "Joh's rules for dropping 5kg FAST!"

The problem, she says, is that she hasn't lost 5kg, she never revealed any weight-loss secrets to Woman's Day, and she doesn't even follow the secrets they claim are hers in the article — and doesn't even know what they mean in some cases.

"Let's count how many random, completely inaccurate things you've come up with this week," she says in the post, alongside an image of the offending article, which shows a picture of Griggs, 44, in a casual, loose-fitting shirt as a "before" comparison and a picture of her in a form-fitting formal dress as an "after" comparison.

"I've lost 5 kilos. NOPE," she fumes.

"I've stopped eating after 8pm, NOPE (I'm often not even home before then) … I've embraced a 'Farmhand Workout', NOPE (What even is that?)"

She continues: "I eat porridge for breakfast (can't remember the last time I did that), NOPE … I eat light rye sandwiches and salads for lunch, NOPE … I pack fruit in my bag so I stop snacking on biscuits on set — again — that would be a NO."

She lists a whopping 14 made-up "rules" that Woman's Day claims she abides by.

@womansdayaus If there was an award for Creative Writing - you’d win. Alas, there’s not so I’m suggesting a people’s choice award... something like, ‘The Moronic Award for Made Up Shite’ Let’s count how many random, completely inaccurate things you’ve come up with this week. 1. I’ve lost 5 kilos NOPE. 2 I’ve adopted a healthier food plan NOPE (I always eat healthily) 3. I’ve stopped eating after 8pm. NOPE (I’m often not even home before then) 4. I’ve embraced a ‘Farmhand Workout’ NOPE (What even is that? 😂😂) 5. I’ve stopped snacking on the run NOPE 6. I cover all food groups at every meal NOPE. 7. I try to stick to darker coloured fruits and veggies NOPE 8. I now only stick to Whole Foods NOPE 9. I eat porridge for breakfast (can’t remember the last time I did that) NOPE 10. I eat light rye sandwiches and salads for lunch NOPE 11. I pack fruit in my bag so I stop snacking on biscuits on set - Again - that would be a NO. 12. I’ve adopted an unusual weightlifting regime which according to your story means I carry hay bales alongside my hubby (good little wifey that I am) Again NOPE - 13. I don’t lift weights. And haven’t since I stopped swimming... and 14. I don’t go to the gym. Funnily enough the last two things you say I don’t do - I actually do - so by my calculations you have managed to write an entire article that is 100% inaccurate. #womansday #makinguprubbishforyears #creativewriting #absolutebulldust #100%rubbish #stopbuyinggossipmags @channel7 @bhgaus @houseruleson7

But in fact, she wrote, the only weight-loss "rules" she does do in real life are the two the magazine claims she doesn't.

"Funnily enough the last two things you say I don't do — I actually do — so by my calculations you have managed to write an entire article that is 100% inaccurate."

This is the second time in a week the women's magazine has been publicly lambasted by a television presenter. Last week, Today show co-host Karl Stefanovic blasted the magazine for printing false stories and being "bullies".

"Another week another BS cover. Enough is enough," Stefanovic, 43, wrote on Instagram, alongside a picture of the latest cover, featuring him and fiance Jasmine Yarbrough, which suggested his bosses at Channel 9 banned Yarbrough from walking the Logies red carpet with him.
