Sam Newman has eviscerated media personality Chrissie Swan after she claimed\u00a0interviewing him was the ‘worst experience’ of her broadcasting career.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Swan, 49, sparked a war of words with the ex-AFL star, 77, on Monday during her podcast The Chrissie Swan Show, after she recalled clashing with Newman while interviewing him for Nova FM’s breakfast show a few years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The interview was ‘terrible’ so she left the studio in tears and they couldn’t air it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Newman has since hit back in an interview with News Corp, accusing Swan of acting ‘unprofessionally’ by inviting him onto her show, only to storm out over a disagreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘What a coward to ask someone to come in, then walk out of the studio about an opinion over a topic we were talking about,’ he told the publication on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I just gave my opinion and she walked out, how unprofessional. What a coward.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ex-Footy Show host then challenged Swan’s version of events, saying: ‘I have no doubt they [Nova FM] didn’t put it to air because they didn’t want to embarrass her, I never abused her, she was out to get to me.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the cause of their on-air disagreement is unknown, Newman did accuse Swan of having a ‘preposterous position’ on the ‘topical affairs’ that were being discussed.<\/p>\n

He then bizarrely branded Swan as an ‘untalented’ person who is ‘clinging’ to fame.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Swan’s interview with Newman took place while she was still co-hosting Nova FM Melbourne’s\u00a0Chrissie, Sam and Browny show, which ran from 2016 to 2022.<\/p>\n
Swan, who\u00a0has interviewed hundreds of celebrities throughout her long TV and radio career, spoke of her run-in with Newman during her podcast on Monday, saying it was ‘hands down the worst experience’ she’s ever had working in media.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Swan’s co-host Jack Charles, who was a producer on Chrissie, Sam and Browny, added: ‘I remember you walking out of the studio, out of the station, and I was like, ‘Where’s Swanny gone?’ And we couldn’t even air the audio.’<\/p>\n
‘It was absolutely the worst by far. It was a terrible, terrible situation and so unusual in my career to feel so attacked. It was terrible,’ Swan replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
