Nat Bass slams "vicious" comments about new relationship
Natalie Bassingthwaighte has hit back at trolls just days after publicly debuting her new girlfriend, Pip Loth.
The singer, 48, took to Instagram on Thursday to reveal that while most supported her new relationship, other trolls had shared "vicious" and "horrific" comments.
The Rouge Traders star shared an emotional plea about wanting the hate to stop and said that she will be blocking trolls.
"I felt like it was really important to say thank you for the love and support I've received in the last little while... on the flip side, with love comes hate and I'm not a hater," she began.
"I don't understand how people have time to go on somebody's page and comment so viciously and horrifically and intentionally make people feel awful, it's not accepted on my page and I won't have it."
"My team will be looking at the comments and blocking anyone who says anyone negative towards anyone I love, that includes my family, Cam, my kids and my girlfriend. We all deserve respect and love as we're all human, we all bleed, cry and all suffer."
She then urged the trolls and paparazzi to stop: "It's a load of crap, it's not acceptable and I want it to stop!
"Be kind, you don't know what people are going through and it's a dangerous slippery slope," she added.
Fans shared support for the singer, and applauded her for standing up for herself and her loved ones.
"I’m so happy to hear you are getting rid of all the negativity. I don’t get it either. I guess happy people don’t do that to others. These trolls have sad, miserable lives. I support you 100%" one wrote.
"Sending you and your beautiful family so much love 💜💫 well said keep shining that beautiful light of yours," added another.
"You go Girl!! ❤️💯 Block and delete," commented a third.
