Sam Frost is no stranger to cyber bullying.
Ever since her meteoric rise to fame from The Bachelor and then, of course, The Bachelorette, the 26-year-old has been harassed and abused online. And now she says, after years in the spotlight, the bullies “have won”.
The radio personality posted an eye-opening tweet last night to her 37,000 Twitter followers, telling “the fake accounts heavily trolling” her have left her “broken”.
Quick to jump to Frost’s defence was controversial Big Brother star, Tully Smyth, who too has experienced the corrosive impact of cyber bullying.
The 27-year-old blogger and model reminded Frost, who has recently returned from a Bali holiday with her partner Sasha Mielczarek, she is “strong, smart and beautiful”.
“Do not let faceless cowards get inside your head,” Smyth wrote. “Switch off for the night.”
This isn’t the first time Frost has broached the topic of bullying and the darker side of being a public persona. Earlier this year, on her 2DayFM breakfast radio program Rove & Sam, Frost penned an open letter to the trolls who have plagued her life for so long.
‘I don’t think people really understand the impact of it. Young kids and people, including myself get bullied on a daily basis,’ she said.
On a brighter note, here’s one of our favourite ‘Sam and Sasha’ moments. (Post continues after video…)
