Vegemite hits back at Taylor Fritz's glamorous influencer girlfriend Morgan Riddle after she went ahead with a bizarre Australian Open bet
- Tennis WAG Morgan Riddle is not a fan of Vegemite
- She tried the iconic Australian spread after losing a bet
- Tennis star Taylor Fritz's girlfriend couldn't bear it
Vegemite has playfully exposed the questionable eating habits of American tennis star Taylor Fritz's influencer girlfriend after she devoured a whole bite of the iconic Aussie spread on Instagram.
Morgan Riddle was a standout at Melbourne Park and kept many fans entertained with her eye-catching courtside outfits.
Last week she attracted attention after betting her boyfriend that she would eat a 'jar of Vegemite' if he won his match against seventh seed Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Fritz did his part by beating the 2023 Australian Open finalist in four sets.
A hilarious video uploaded to Instagram followed, showing Riddle struggling to eat a spoonful of Vegemite – with no bread or butter in sight.

Vegemite 'called out' Morgan Riddle on Instagram, pointing out that the spread should never be eaten straight from the jar
Seconds later, Riddle gagged on the unique taste and ran off-screen to spit it out.
“That was disgusting,” she said after coming back on camera to sip kombucha.
“If someone had to eat a whole jar of that, no.”
In a lighthearted message, the iconic Aussie spread has hit back at the American influencer, questioning why Riddle is making the rookie mistake of eating Vegemite alone.
'If you're going to do it, at least do it right. Australia, thoughts?' their social media team posted Tuesday evening.
She quickly responded, posting: “Sourdough bread with mounds of buttah?”
Riddle got the ball rolling last weekend after she shared the bet with her more than 220,000 Instagram followers.
“If @taylor_fritz wins again I'll eat a jar of Vegemite [Instagram] live,” she captioned a post in which she posed outside Rod Laver Arena with a red Chanel bag.
Hours later, Fritz – whose tournament ended after he lost to Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals on Tuesday – was awarded a big pot from the national spread courtside.
Riddle showed she's a good sport when she was filmed in the stands with a grin on her face, clearly accepting defeat.
