I should never have been so cavalier in revealing details about my interview with Roxane Gay that should have remained private. 'The last 24 hours have been an extraordinarily searing lesson. Mia Freedman also released a personal apology to Roxane on Wednesday morning: Mamamia have since issued a statement saying that it in no way intended to make Roxane feel 'disrespected and we apologise unequivocally'. 'Whatever, Just what the f*** ever,' she wrote in a following tweet. '"Can she fit into the lift?" Shame on you she continued in another tweet. I can walk a f***ing mile,' the author of several books including the bestseller, Bad Feminist, said.

Roxane later took a swipe at the women's website on Twitter, labelling the article as 'cruel and humiliating'. 'I'd estimate there were more than a dozen exchanges back and forth between my producer and her people and the details of them both broke my heart and opened my eyes.'

Is there a comfortable chair that will accommodate her six-foot-three, "super-morbidly-obese" frame?,' the site tweeted. Roxane had been due to speak on the podcast about her latest book, Hunger (pictured)
