Vogue Williams has revealed that she has taken a no-nonsense approach to certain trolls after being compared to Donald Trump by a social media troll who continued to send the presenter increasingly abusive messages and comments. Vogue, who recently announced she is expecting her fourth child with husband Spencer Matthews, expressed disappointment about the toxic nature of some on social media.
Speaking on the Vogue and Amber podcast, Vogue told listeners that: “There’s a woman that has been trolling me since 2023 and I only noticed yesterday and I was like, Jesus Christ, that is a dirty message!”
The Mirror reports that the popular Irish presenter shared with fans and her co-host a particularly vicious example of the trolling. “She’s been sending me messages, here is, for instance, ‘You’re an image of Donald Trump, you must be related to him with that mouth of yours. Greed is a terrible thing’. No context on the message,” she explained.
After a post in which Vogue tagged beauty expert Triona McCarthy, the persistent troll escalated the attacks on her appearance.
“[She said] ‘Triona might give you some tips on improving your looks, werewolf eyebrows, a horn on your face and gums galore’. I was like ‘Jesus Christ’.”
Vogue looked at the person’s Instagram profile and, to her surprise, recognised the culprit as she planned a different course of action to take against the individual.
“I was going to blast her, because I have a new thing where if you’re really bad… like if you’re a real d**k head for no reason. Because fair enough, sometimes I can be annoying, I expect a little bit of abuse and I usually call people out on Instagram, but with her I thought I don’t think I’ll do that,” she continued.
Instead, Vogue revealed she’d taken a different approach by contacting some of their shared connections to alert them to what was happening.
“So then her family and friends will know she’s a complete f*****g lunatic who is spending her time trolling people on the internet, she’s in a picture with her grandchild, I’m like ‘come on’,” she added.
The model admitted that she wondered whether she had gone too far but landed on the conclusion that her response was justified.
Speaking to older sister Amber, the former wife of Brian McFadden continued: “I just think letting their family know… Imagine you found out by somebody that I had been sending these rotten messages to them, you’d be like, ‘Oh my God, I thought I [knew] you but I don’t’.”
She also implied the individual must be deeply “unhappy” to engage in such toxic behaviour online.
This isn’t the first time that the former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star has addressed online abuse.
Back in February, a social media user accused her of “leeching off men” for exposure and money.
Hitting back, Vogue said: “Well you’re certainly not doing well on the nice front! Go check MY company accounts and then come back and tell me I’m leeching off men. See you at the parade hun!
“I’m never sure of the motive or need for people to publicly scrutinise someone they know nothing about. It’s so s**t.”
She added: “I’m sick of seeing horrible cr** on the internet and people just abusing other people because they feel like it. This person should practise being a nice person a bit more.”
