SOCIAL MEDIA BULLYING

have 75,000 followers on Facebook, 123,000 on Instagram and 38,000 on Twitter but, for me, social media has never been about the number of followers or likes. Instead, I view it as a way for me to connect to real people, hear their stories and help in any small way I can. When I first started off in TV [on in 2014], I had some anxiety about what people would say about me on social media. I remember my husband, Ben [Gillies, of Silverchair], sat me down and told me, “You’re going to have people who love you and people who hate you. Some people are absolute garbage on Twitter and you need to be prepared for them to write shit about you. Do not read it. Do not take it on.”
