‘I get constant abuse’: Irish blogger Rosie Connolly on internet hate
She may have seen success as a fashion, beauty and lifestyle blogger, but Rosie Connolly has revealed that success comes at a price.
As the creator of popular blog Hearts, Heels and Handbags and with over 85 thousand Instagram followers, the 24-year-old has revealed she is constantly subjected to abuse and body shaming from online trolls.
"The bigger following you have the more people you have giving you abuse. I’ve been told I’m too skinny and my makeup is awful," the mom-of-one told VIP Magazine.
"I can’t stand body shaming. I suppose the less you react, the quicker it goes away. I’m learning that the hard way.
"You’re still a person at the end of the day and you want to stick up for yourself."
Rosie revealed that she is forced to bloke and delete people on a regular basis if they are being cruel.
“You’re still a person at the end of the day and you want to stick up for yourself. It’s hard not to react. I just delete and block the person now if they’re not being nice.”
