Stepping back: Brendan Fevola's stepdaughter Mia announced on Friday that she's taking a break from social media after copping backlash for heading to her family's 'beach house' during Victoria's lockdown Mia, who is dating rising AFL star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, said on her Instagram story that she had 'woken up to a mess'. 'I wanted to say I'm sorry to those I offended with my story yesterday,' she began. 'I didn't think before I posted and had no intention of portraying it the way it came across.' Apologetic: Mia, who is dating rising AFL star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, said on her Instagram story that she had 'woken up to a mess' Mia added that she wasn't 'complaining' about lockdown but simply 'frustrated'. 'I in no way meant to sound like I was complaining about going to our holiday house, I was merely frustrated going into a fifth lockdown.' 'I understand people are struggling financially, mentally, and haven't seen their families and it was insensitive of me.' She finished: 'I'm going to be quiet on here for a little while but I wanted to apologise before I do so.' 'I in no way meant to sound like I was complaining about going to our holiday house, I was merely frustrated going into a fifth lockdown,' she said Mia got roasted by followers earlier this week after posting about lockdown and her family's beach house. The comments by the stepdaughter of former AFL star and media personality Brendan Fevola were not well received, with one sarcastically commenting: 'Minute silence for Mia Fevola please. Thank you.' Another comment was far more savage: 'I hope it rains & floods your holiday house'. 'Poor Mia, must be hard trying to live your life when you’re so tone deaf,' wrote another.

Mia's original Instagram post reacted to the news of the lockdown with, 'Here we go again. This [one is] hitting hard for me, going to stay with my family at the holiday house.' 'Why can't people just do the right thing,' she concluded, presumably referring to people staying home as much as possible.

This [one is] hitting hard for me, going to stay with my family at the holiday house' One critic noted the irony, pointing out that Mia was 'presumably' leaving her own suburb to go to her holiday house. Mia responded to the online hate with an Instagram Story that clarified she and her family 'have been living at our holiday house for [the] majority of this year.' 'We haven't escaped down here, our home is being renovated so we are actually living here.' She continued, 'I was coming home from [boyfriend] Jamarra's [house] to be with my family again, so please don't attack me without knowing the full story'.
