We’ve seen several installments now of Jimmy Kimmel‘s Celebrities Read Mean Tweets, and we laugh our butts off every time.
But have you ever stopped to think about how the segment affects the Mean Tweeters?
[ Video: Jimmy Kimmel Forces Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow, And MORE To Read Mean Tweets! He’s A Monster! LOLz! ]
@trickyfoxski (who wishes to remain an anonymous Twitter handle for obvious reasons) was the one who in this most recent video called Britney Spears a “tired hag.”
And she says that ever since the episode aired, her account has been hit non-stop by fans who want to defend Britney’s honor by saying awful things to her hater. @trickyfoxski said:
“The reactions have been entertaining. One lovely person suggested that I kill myself. Another charming person said I should rot in hell. The one that made me laugh though accused my family of inbreeding. I guess they saw where I was from and fired off that gem.”
Unfortunately, it went farther than just “mean tweets.”
One fan sent this NSFW message:
And another crossed the line with this full-on death threat:
Ugh.
Come on guys, we all love Britney, but that doesn’t give you the right to be horrible! This is a real person!
This has moved from trolling the troll to breaking the law.
