LATED: Abbie’s I’m A Celeb sex confession
The threat terrified Abbie because she had recently been papped outside her home in Brisbane, so it would have been easy for the troll to figure out where she lived.When asked if she had gone to the police, Abbie replied: “Yeah, and they said they can’t do anything unless I’m physically hurt.”She continued: “The cops said, ‘Just block him’. And I said, ‘But then there’s no trail, there’s no paper trail. If I block them we can’t find them again, it’s a fake account.’ So I just keep them there … and they message me every so often saying how they want me to die.“But it’s all good, I’m moving,” she said.
Fitzy and Wippa with Abbie
TROLLED FOR YEARS
Abbie has previously spoken publicly about the vicious comments she’s received on social media in the past couple of years.In a lengthy post last year, she said she feared for her safety after receiving threats online.After sharing a number of threatening messages, Abbie wrote on Instagram: “F**k you if you’ve ever messaged anyone something even close to this. This is why people commit suicide after being catapulted into the spotlight by a TV show.“Am I grateful for The Bachelor? Yes! Does ANYTHING anyone does on these shows warrant this? F**K NO. These are just 10 of the messages I’ve saved over the last year. Threats of violence, name calling, threats to my safety and general snide comments still happen a year on.”
She continued: “At one point I was scared to be recognised in public, for fear of my safety. I still get worried when people ask for photos with me that they’re going to say something to hurt me or take a photo with me and joke about me with their friends.“This isn’t a joke. This isn’t f***ing funny and this isn’t fair. I shouldn’t be falling asleep worried someone will break into my apartment and strangle me!”
