40 Times Celebrities Shared a Glimpse of the Horrible DMs They Get

While the internet has definitely made the world better, it’s not all rosy. Sadly, lots of people experience harassment, threats, and online shaming. And that doesn’t exclude celebs. Social media means that people have much more access to celebrities than ever before. We can literally strike up a chat with our biggest heroes! However, that also leaves our favorite stars open to all sorts of online abuse. Check out these horrible DMs, tweets, private messages, and snaps that celebrities have received.

“Honestly, Wow, Thank You”

Let’s kick things off with TV personality and former model Chrissy Teigen. The star is pretty vocal on social media, and has gotten into some problems of her own. Let’s not forget that Chrissy admitted to trolling Courtney Stodden when the star was just a teen.

Anyway, on this occasion, Chrissy was the victim of some nasty online messages. Underneath this picture of the star with Andy Cohen and Kelly Dodd, someone decided to leave an unsolicited critique of Chrissy’s hair.

What Is Wrong With You?

This online interaction is totally typical of social media. English model and activist Munroe Bergdorf was subjected to this ridiculous string of messages. The trans star received these DMs from someone who strongly disagreed with Munroe’s beliefs.

Interestingly, as soon as the star replies to this person, they back off. As we’ll see throughout this list, most online trolls never expect anyone to reply. It should go without saying but this is not the ideal way to communicate over complex ideas!

“The Very, Very Worst”

During much of lockdown, English actress Kate Beckinsale shared pictures and videos with her beloved cats. The star has two feline pets — one named Clive, and one named Willow. Despite this rather wholesome content, Kate still received very nasty DMs about her furry children.

This very angry person wished that Kate and Clive drove off a cliff and died. Who would wish such a thing?! The star posted the nasty comment on her social media to mock the troll’s typo.

To Someone I Don’t Know

Look, we know that reality star Janelle Evans is a controversial character. We watched her deal with teen pregnancy and motherhood, along with a host of other issues. But, despite what people may think of Janelle, she definitely doesn’t deserve to be harassed or bullied.

The star shared this screenshot of some of the abuse she regularly receives. This particular message insulted her, her mom, her kids, and her partner. Janelle rightly asked her followers, “What makes you think this is ok?”
