- Online trolls said Salmin has emasculated Collingwood star
- She called cohabiting ‘hetero-dynamic learnt behaviour’
Triple J host Dee Salmin has made an eye-opening statement on social media in the wake of being slammed over the very woke reason she doesn’t live with her AFL star boyfriend Darcy Moore.
In July, Darcy and Dee’s living arrangements became the talk of the AFL, with fans labelling the Collingwood skipper ‘woke‘ and blaming his unorthodox relationship for a form slump.
Salmin raised eyebrows when she revealed on a podcast why they don’t live together.
‘I don’t live with my partner at the moment. We have such different, independent, busy lives,’ Salmin said.
‘We get to have so much of what we had when we were still single in our relationship.
‘But I wonder how much you can actually upkeep that when you do end up living together. So much of it is hetero-dynamic learnt behaviours that you might fall into.’
Her line about ‘hetero-dynamic learnt behaviours’ caused a firestorm on social media.
Many fans said Salmin’s long-winded explanation for why they live apart – complete with feminist buzzwords and therapy-speak – made their eyes roll.

In October, the Sunday Hook Up host shared a photo to Instagram of her and Darcy attending the Brownlow Medal ceremony in Melbourne, along with a comment she had received from a troll.
‘Darcy has money, fame and elite football skills, yet traded his gonads to a feminist witch,’ the troll wrote.
Salmin played a cover of the 1972 Eagles classic Witchy Woman over her post and captioned it with some classy words – saying she was ‘immortalising’ the ‘gonads’ remark as ‘the highest compliment I’ve ever received’.
It seems Salmin really did get a thrill out of the remark as she has now edited her Instagram bio to call herself ‘a gonad stealing feminist witch’.

Collingwood loyalists had mixed reactions, with some even linking Salmin’s comments to Moore’s struggles to find form on the field.
Others simply found Salmin’s interview confusing due to her use of progressive terminology.
Moore and Salmin first sparked rumours they were dating when they were pictured holding hands at the opening night of Moulin Rouge in Melbourne in October 2023.
They later confirmed their romance by hitting the red carpet together at several exclusive A-List events.
