Internet trolls drive former model and TV personality Charlotte Dawson to suicide

[The Hammer]

Good Morning Australia TV personality Charlotte Dawson has committed suicide after being harassed by internet trolls.

Celebrities and friends pay tribute to Charlotte Dawson, dead at 47

The New Zealand-born Dawson was pushed to edge of suicide when a barrage of personal tweets and attacks were aimed at her, taunting her to kill herself.

Dawson stayed up until 2.07 AM, defending herself against her trolls who "kept going, and going and going".

Dawson sent out her final tweet for the night, writing "you win x" along with a picture of her hand holding tablets, adding "Hope this ends the misery".

"When you work in a public environment like the media, you do have to have a thick skin," Dawson said.

"And no matter what you do, people are still going to hate you just because they think you're ugly or because they don't like the sound of your voice."

Those quotes are from 2012 when she attempted suicide and lived to talk about it:

WTF!!!


I don't even pay attention to my wife's *****ing and bickering whenever she does it.

Taking internet trolls seriously , enough to push you to commit suicide??? I mean she had already attempted it but still.

This is disturbing........

If you're going to kill yourself just go and do it ****ing quietly. No need to make a song and dance about it. I don't care what anyone says, killing yourself is such a ridiculously selfish thing to do.

Damn, that's harsh man. The woman is dead.

She may have suffered from depression to begin with, but the internet trolls pushed her over the edge.

We should be careful with our words, we never know how fragile another person's self-esteem might be.

Some people really must feel like shit after these news.

Yeah she is. And most likely her family are in a living hell.

I'm sorry, I have to believe there was something seriously wrong with her if she stayed up all night arguing with internet trolls, let alone killed herself because of them.
