The Daily Telegraph’s Annette Sharp reporting on Friday that the Sunrise star was finding Seven’s decision “hard to accept”

Taking to Instagram, Sam, 43, slammed Sharp’s report as “mean”.

“There’s a very odd woman who works for one of the Sunday papers. Her name is Annette Sharp and she’s been obsessed with me for 8+ years in a kind of creepy, nasty, menacing, mean way,” Sam began her lengthy post.

“I don’t know her from a bar of soap, but she seems a dreadful bit of gear. She is certainly no friend to women and most worrying for someone in her position, she simply makes stuff up.

“Today she wrote some more crap about me and @soniakruger who I like a lot, admire immensely, welcome back to 7 with open arms and who does a FAR better job covering a red carpet than me!

‘I usually rise above her rubbish (as I was raised to do with bullies) but this year I’ve decided to call out her bulls**t. Weekly, if necessary.’

The TV star went on: “I ask her to refrain from calling me Sammy. That’s only for my friends. If you don’t like my peaches Annette, don’t shake my tree.

“I write this for all the girls (and boys!) out there, to stand up to bullies and bull***t artists in 2020.”

Last week, Sharp’s report stated that “Sammy” was “absolutely miffed network execs are now putting their promo power into their new prime-time investment Kruger, possibly at Armytage’s expense.”

Sonia has recently relocated to Seven after quitting the Nine Network last November.

Last week it was confirmed that the 54-year-old TV star will be the host of the all-new Big Brother 2020.

The news was announced on Big Brother’s official Instagram.
In a short video that opened with the words ‘I spy with my little eye’, pictures of Sonia were shown with the word ‘HOST’ across them.

“Big Brother has spoken and Sonia Kruger will helm the new game.

Channel Seven is very excited to have Sonia on board for a thrilling new era of Big Brother,” a Channel 7 spokesperson said.
