I agree, it’s a bit extreme, but to be fair, these people should just walk away from social media when it gets too much and too overwhelming.Something about a Reddit or subreddit thread starting after a gofundme (GFM) was set up by a friend of hers after her dog was ran over and needed surgery. Turns out it was her ex who ran over the dog. She came clean and offered to refund any money to anyone. And out of like hundred’s of donations only a handful wanted refunds.
Then she got trolled by people who didn’t donate wanting refunds. People made loads of fake account and accounts about her, contacted her sponsors with lies. She lost sponsors which she relied on as an influencer.
She makes comments about people thinking she was still living off the GFM money raised.
She met a random woman in a tattoo shop (I think) and they became close friends. But the woman was on the thread and shared personal things.
She checked into an Airbnb & people found out where and sent the owners messages saying she was partying and drug taking.
Her ex husband and his family joined the thread saying what a witch etc she was, and I think sharing personal things.
She had a book out and people claimed to get advanced copies, put 1 star reviews and contacted a book shop on her tour claiming she was racists so that book shop stop was cancelled.
It does seem that these people were going to extreme lengths to interfere in her life, and her influencer business and book sales
All this lead her to consider suicide which she talked about but that seemed to add more fuel to the fire. She said in the 38 min video she left social media for a while and even bought a gun and considered doing a live story where she shot herself.
She was very upset that her ex husband & his family were on this thread. And in the end got some sort of private investigator to find out who some of the people were and named them. She is still willing to post more names of people who are saying untrue things about her and risk their own careers.
There was a lot more she talked about. But I guess the bottom line was don’t online bully social media influencers. It made her think about suicide (there was a term she used which I think the thread made fun of). And she got really close to suicide.
Far too much is shared on SM these days, someone still can be an “influencer” but remain private.
