'They laughed and made fun of my weight': Ajay Rochester reveals how she overheard people mocking her bigger size at Hollywood auditions
Former Biggest Loser Australia host Ajay Rochester is hitting out at internet trolls.
The 46-year-old has published an impassioned entry on her blog, Finding My Mojo, on Friday apologising to fans for fat shaming people, including herself.
Currently living in Los Angeles and at her biggest size to-date, the blonde media personality says she's happy embracing her curves, as she details the struggles of living large in Hollywood.

'Though I’m currently bigger than I would ever have previously allowed myself to be without feeling a large dose of guilt and shame, I also feel the sexiest I have ever felt,' Ajay wrote.
'I’ve been at auditions where girls , not knowing I was in the bathroom stall while they stood at the mirrors redoing their make up, have laughed and made fun of my weight,' she added.
In the piece, titled Curve Appeal, the TV presenter also claims to have lost friends recently, after she refused to photoshop her figure slimmer.
'For the past few years I have had a group of Hollywood friends who eat next to nothing, are close to a size zero and still photo-shop themselves, even in selfies,' Ajay began.

Admitting that, at first, she got on board with the idea, the Aussie then decided to stop the practice when she realised she was developing a fear of being photographed as a result.
'Eventually it became really sad and to be honest, if I was as skinny as some of those women, photo shop is the last thing I would waste my time and energy on,' Ajay confessed.
'I mean, on a scale of 1-10, what good will it do the planet erasing a tiny dimple on an already tiny thigh?' she questioned.
Now the larger lady, who recently admitted to being back over the 90 kilogram mark, says she's not looking at her cellulite or imperfections when surveying photos - especially those from a recent lingerie shoot in her local Beverly Hills park.

The photo shoot was done with a bunch of Ajay's friends, to promote her 'drop the plus' hash-tag campaign.
Earlier this year the model mum began campaigning for the fashion industry and media to stop calling curvier women 'plus size models'.
The Drop The Plus website questioned why the fashion industry can't just refer to all models as simply models.
'"Plus" implies bigger than "normal." In the fashion/modelling industry, any model above US size 4 is considered a “plus sized” model.
'The average American woman is US size 14. So the fashion industry is implying that most women are "plus sized", above "normal."
'Mixed with all the other body image pressures facing women, this implication is very dangerous to women and society.'
