Julia Roberts shattered by internet trolls
Actress Julia Roberts is devastated when she receives criticism about her appearance on the internet from her.
Like many people, Julia Roberts is not a fan of internet trolls. The cruel comments, the humiliating criticisms, the little personal attacks, it's never fun when you're relentlessly attacked. Especially from strangers typing behind a keyboard or on their phones. It might seem that Hollywood stars are above that. But they are flesh and blood people. So they also suffer like everyone else. Although if we review the publication there are also many supportive comments and they tell her to forget about Internet trolls.
Julia Roberts suffered a strong campaign against her when she received many attacks on Instagram from her niece, also an actress Emma Roberts. She explains it this way: “One weekend morning, Emma fell asleep, we got up and had tea, played cards and spent this beautiful morning. A couple of days later she posted a photo of us. And the number of people who absolutely felt compelled to speak about how terrible I looked in the photo. They said: I'm not aging well. That I see myself as a man. Why would she even post a picture like this when I look so terrible? And she surprised me how she made me feel that ».
Julia Roberts commented on how offended she felt on a TV show.
On The Oprah Winfrey Show she interviewed Julia Roberts about her upcoming series Homecoming and her new movie, Ben is Back. But the subject of the Instagram controversy also arose:
“I am a 50-year-old woman and I know who I am, and yet my feelings have been hurt. It made me sad that people couldn't see the point of it, the sweetness, the sheer joy of that photo. I thought: What if I was 15?
As Emma Roberts' Instagram photo shows, it was a pretty innocent and bona fide photo between an aunt and her niece. But that was criticized quite ruthlessly by online commentators. These users seemed to believe that they had the right to comment on the appearance of Julia Roberts. Since she is a rich and famous person. Roberts wonders how younger people feel when they receive demeaning or even abusive comments of this variety when on social media.
