The 27-year-old reality star worries the "appalling" way some of the men on the show treat women is a bad influence on the young and impressionable people who tune in to watch the programme.
She said: "A lot of blokes on 'TOWIE' treat women appallingly. I would never date someone who treats me like some of those boys treat their girlfriends.
"It's unacceptable - young people watching the show will think it's normal to behave that way, but it's not."
Chloe - who is dating banker Danny Flasher - claims to have seen a rise in men "talking badly" to their girlfriends and she thinks their outlook on life is "disgusting".
She told Closer magazine: "In Essex, it seems it is cool to talk badly to your girlfriend.
"Obviously, not all men are like that, but in my experience, it's happening more and more. Danny says it's mad for boys to talk in that way.
"It's quite old-school - some believe women should stay at home, cook, clean and be silent, and that the men are in charge. It's disgusting."
Chloe - who has been on the show since 2015 and previously dated former co-star Jake Hall for six years - also admitted seeing the results of some of the surgery undertaken by women on 'TOWIE' has put her off having any work done herself, though she won't rule it out for the future.
She said: "I'm not anti-surgery but sometimes people do go overboard. The lip filler thing is too much for me and it's put me off ever wanting it.
"I don't get the trout pout craze - it's not attractive and you can see that you've had it done. But I can never say never - when I'm older, I'll probably have a facelift myself."
