In October 2021, Frost faced widespread public scrutiny for a video she produced detailing her refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine, and for comparing the public backlash she faced to "segregation".[11] After Channel Seven made vaccines mandatory for all of its staff, Frost stated that she would get vaccinated following a medical procedure in January.[12] On 17 December 2021, Channel 7 announced that Frost had decided to leave Home and Away permanently.[13]
