Hughes then explains how the trolls posted links to her family and friend’s profiles – including a friend who has died - on their own social media accounts. They also criticised her career and accused Hughes of lying about advertising and sponsorships (which she “has the receipts” for to disprove the claims).

The backlash that Hughes received after taking action on the trolls just further proves that they have no remorse for their actions. Although the beauty expert handled this privately for months, she now feels compelled to expose the trolling and continue legal action. She ends the video by referring to the “deep trauma” caused by everything that has happened.

After sharing the video on Instagram and Twitter, there has been a huge amount of support – because we have all absolutely had enough of accepting such abusive trolling.

Here are just some of the messages of support Hughes has received in her fight against the trolls:
