Fearne Cotton has hit out at haters on social networking site Twitter, after being slammed by a barrage of critics slating her coverage of the Diamond Jubilee.
The presenter has described the haters as “bullies” and she feels as though she has been singled out after her role covering the Diamond Jubilee last weekend for the BBC. Fearne tweeted,
‘People who sit lazily and judge others will never grow. They'll never take a look at themselves or feel content. Shame so many do…Grown men who slag me off in articles/online are huge bullies. I love my job and wouldnt be doing it if i wasnt any good at it. (sic)’ She also added,
'Im a postive person who believes in treating people kindly. I dont understnad the mentality of others who think differently. Good vibes and happiness all round.'
Fearne has been working in the industry for the past 15 years, and the star felt attacked when one Twitter user said she was 'pretty rubbish on the Pageant day…find a new career'. To which the radio DJ replied,
'Right this is what im talking about. YOU=bully. Take a look at yourself. I have been working nonstop for 15 years thank you.'
Fearne had previously revealed that she was bullied as a child by fellow school kids for working in TV from a young age. The presenter says she is adamant that she won’t be defeated by bullies again, saying,
‘Thanks for your nice tweets guys! I was bullied at school so there's no way im having it again as a grown woman…Im from a working class family and have worked hard to get to where i am today. Others will just sit and do nothing but judge.’
Fearne has received criticism in the past for her presenting work, but she dismissed the criticism that she said came from “odd people” who were “bitter and angry…famous for slagging people off.”
We agree that people shouldn’t use social media as a platform to bully others. What did you Heatworldcitizens think of the Diamond Jubilee coverage?
