Armytage was accused of bigotry in an on-air interview in March 2015 after congratulating a woman for appearing whiter than her twin sister. After an online petition was signed by over 2,000 people demanding that she apologise, she did so.
Kristen Davis, an actor, revived the Armytage skit on Sunrise in February 2016. Davis had been on the show to discuss her work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, but later on Twitter, she expressed her dissatisfaction with Sunrise's focusing on her Sex and The City. Armytage, who was supposed to MC and conduct a consultation with Davis at a UN summit in Sydney, was asked not to host or attend the function.
"Post-Stolen Generation, there's been a massive step to leave Aboriginal children where they are," Armytage's narrator said in March 2018. In reaction to the segment, protests were held outside the Sunrise studio in Martin Place. The Australian Communications and Media Authority found that the segment had violated the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice because it contained inaccurate information and "strong negative generalizations of Indigenous people as a group" in September 2018. Armytage was sued for racial profiling over the segment in June 2020.
