The hugely popular blogger sat down with 60 Minutes on Sunday night to talk about what it’s like being one of Australia’s most divisive personalities.

“As soon as you become a mum, you just get typecast as just a mum, and it really takes over your whole life. And that’s what I’m trying to change, you can be a mum and be a legend,” she told the current affairs program.

“You can be a mum and you can travel. You can do this, because your husband should be doing 50 per cent of the child rearing too...(Men) need to step up.

“I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t believe it to be true. I’m not trying to p*ss off the white Australian man, but I don’t care if I do.”

The mum-of-five, who is married to her second husband, Denim and also has two step children, joked that she was “probably going to get snipered tomorrow” after her controversial comments.

“I really think women should rule the world and we should be the bosses of everything, and it should be a matriarchal country,” she said.

She may have more than two million followers across her social media channels, but Constance revealed she hates being labelled a “mummy blogger.”

“I think people like me because life’s just not perfect. You know? It’s not happily ever after. It’s not meant to be,” she said.

“That’s what I do. I make people feel better about their lives because mine’s so crap. So everyone goes, I love hanging out with Con, I feel like I can handle this now.”

But with her success came Australia’s “tall poppy syndrome” which Hall believes she is a victim of. The trolling became so bad, Hall considered suicide.

“I think it’s probably one of the main reasons that everyone hates me, because the following got so big,” she said.

“I felt like there was no getting away from (the suicidal thoughts). They were really creeping in,” she said.

“And there was definitely a time where I was just like, it would just be easier to not even be here.

“It was something that sort of swirled around in my head. I’d never felt like that before. I’d never even considered, I was, like that’s terrifying. How could anyone do that you know?”
