Vogue Williams has revealed she tracked down an internet troll who sent her “awful stuff”. Vogue is likely no stranger to the downsides of celebrity life, boasting 1.2 million Instagram followers, hosting three podcasts and having appeared in everything from Bear Grylls: Mission Survive to I’m A Celeb.
One modern showbiz hazard comes in the form of online trolling, and Vogue seems to have had her share of hurtful comments. In February, she recalled a “bizarre” online encounter where someone made a rude remark about her face.
She told the Vogue and Amber podcast that the individual had asked her when she was “going to get rid of that wart on your face”, referring to her mole, so Vogue opted to tag them in a post.
Vogue, who is married to Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews, has now recalled a separate incident where a woman would send her “awful stuff” — and she decided to track her down and tell her family.
She told The Mail’s Harriet Kean: “She would mail me this awful stuff, so I found her second name because she was using her own account, and emailed some of her family, and said, ‘This is what she has been sending me’.”
Regarding the earlier incident, Vogue said it was “an artist who mailed me on Instagram” who made the remark about her face, leaving the podcaster thinking: “F*** you.”
Vogue said: “And I was like, ‘Anyone who p****s me off now, if you’re brave enough and bold enough to send a message to somebody like that, I’m going to put it out there’.
“And so I put it up on my page and I tagged the person and I said, ‘Oh, I’d love to see what this person looks like. They must be so perfect’. And then in comes everybody sending me pictures of her, all this kind of stuff.”
She replied to the person, saying something along the lines of that she would remove the mole when they started “making decent art”.
Vogue added: “And I was just like, ‘God, like it’s just so bizarre that you’d go out of your way to just insult somebody’. Anyway, she started mailing me and she’s like, ‘Oh, I didn’t mean to insult you. I didn’t realise you’d be upset by that’.”
Vogue responded that they did it “specifically to insult” her, but they apologised, saying they “just wanted to know”, and noted that people had been messaging them “being horrible”, so Vogue removed the post.
Summing things up, the Fade Street star explained that she didn’t want the person being trolled “any more than she had”.
She added that you have to teach a “little bit of a lesson”.
