Mcnaughty Keen To Stress That She Doesn’t Like A Cockatoo

This latest McNaughty fuss is making our heads spin, and not because of the cheap wine and three-day growth – now she reckons she wasn’t consulted about the Cockatoo Ridge “She likes a cockatoo” (GEDDIT) campaign that is currently ruffling feathers amongst the advertising industry and beyond.

Says McNaught of the ads:

“I wasn’t thrilled with what that line was implying,” Erin said.

She said the company emailed the slogans to her for approval, but it was while she was moving to Melbourne to be in Neighbours and she didn’t see them in her inbox until later.

“When I saw the slogan, I tried to stop them using that one but they said it was too late and they were already being printed. It was pretty disappointing,” she said.

Other Cockatoo Ridge billboards display McNaught with slogans “Who’s a cheeky girl then” and “McNaughty but nice”.

“I didn’t have a problem with the other two because they are in good fun,” she said.

“But that one was a bit rude.”

We’re inclined to believe McNaught – there’s nothing Australia likes more than a bit of slut-shaming, even when – as in McNaught’s case – said “sluttiness” comes from little more than an ‘I was young and needed the money’ photoshoot pre-fame.

She has a steady boyfriend, after all – but then, “She likes a cock or… actually, just the one” probably didn’t wash with the blokes in marketing.
