After not paying close attention to her kid at the Cincinnati Zoo resulted in the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old gorilla, Michelle Gregg has become quite a controversial figure.
On Saturday, Gregg’s unsupervised 4-year-old son fell into the enclosure of Harambe the silverback gorilla, who was shot and killed by zoo officials over concern for the child’s safety.
While many understood this tragedy could have been prevented, some opinionated critics took it upon themselves to personally threaten the boy’s mother on Facebook.

But in the typical fashion of the vociferous online community, the angry accusers didn’t stop to make sure they were coming at the right mom with their pitchforks.
That’s right — a totally unrelated Michelle Gregg has been receiving angry messages from people who didn’t bother to check if they had the right person before firing off a string of hateful threats and ill-wishes.
While the real Gregg reportedly deleted her social media presence after defending her actions on Facebook, the other Gregg changed her profile picture to a photo of herself with her son, with large letters:
“This Michelle has never even been to the Cincinnati Zoo! Neither has my 5-year-old son!”
But even that didn’t stop her misinformed critics from DMing her nasty messages.
Ch-ch-check out some of Michelle’s meanest messages (below) and see how she handled it!
Some class, right?? We would NOT have that kind of patience!
