Wow, that’s not even right!!!
Australia’s Next Top Model‘s Charlotte Dawson, is believed to have attempted suicide this week following an onslaught of nasty and vile tweets.
The cyber bullying came about after Dawson took a stand against “Twitter troll” Tanya Heti for attacking fan, Bernadette Casey, who defended her from a suicide taunt.
The Top Model hostess reported the abusive tweets to Heti’s employer at Monash University, and was ultimately suspended from her job.
Heti went on to start a Twitter campaign against Charlotte, and sadly others followed suit, using hashtags like #diecharlotte and #hangyourself.
Disgusting!
Before she was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday, Charlotte tweeted:

Thankfully, Charlotte is expected to make a full recovery and currently receiving medical help from the psychiatric emergency unit at St Vincent’s Hospital.
She’s also scheduled to make an appearance on 60 Minutes this weekend to speak out about the situation.
Thoughts???
