Clementine Ford has announced a surprising new career move after her podcast was officially axed by Nova.
The feminist activist posted to Instagram on Saturday to reveal she has been granted funding to develop her new scripted TV series called ‘Smile B**ch’.
A synopsis on the show reads: ‘A high-profile media presenter develops an appetite for murder after one too many sexist microaggressions lead her to manifest the ancient goddess of rage.’
Announcing the project to her 250,000 followers, the 42-year-old wrote: ‘You can’t hold a tenacious woman down.’
She continued: ‘So thrilled to announce that [Aquarius Films] and I have received [Screen NSW] funding to develop our idea for #SmileB***h, a dark comedy about one woman executing her revenge against the men who have wronged her.’

She finished the post with an ominous message: ‘Watch out. Rage is coming’.
It comes after it was announced on Wednesday that Nova Entertainment had cancelled Clem’s ‘Dear Clementine’ podcast after two years with the network.
While she she didn’t explain why, Clementine suggested that her controversial views on the Israel-Gaza conflict may have forced Nova’s hand.
Clementine has come under heavy criticism in recent weeks for attacking supporters of Israel and supporting the people of Gaza.

She recently branded the Albanese government’s support for Israel as ‘pathetic’ and ‘gross’, writing online: ‘You’re pathetic, you disgust me and I pity you for being so f***ing basic and gross that you think others should cheer on the murder of thousands just to make you feel better.’
In her post on Wednesday, Clementine boasted about her achievements as a podcaster and described herself as a woman who has ‘strong opinions on genocide’.
‘During my two years with @novapodcastsofficial, we clocked a lot of wins. Not only did we recently celebrate one million downloads, but ‘Dear Clementine’ also won Best Podcast Series at the 2023 Mumbrella Publish Awards,’ she wrote.
‘But all good things must come to an end – especially award winning podcasts presented by women who have strong opinions on genocide.’

Clementine went on to announce her new podcast ‘Untethered’, which will be targeted to ‘the free thinking woman who knows who she is and isn’t afraid to say it’.
Untethered will begin streaming in January.
She ended her post with a defiant message to her critics: ‘A reminder… you can try your hardest to destroy me you, but you will never, ever win… I will always be ‘untethered”’.
When contacted for comment, a Nova spokesperson confirmed: ‘The Nova Podcasts team continuously review our stable of titles which can lead to the conclusion of some shows.’
‘I can confirm “Dear Clementine” is one of the podcasts that will not be renewed in 2024.’
