It comes as no surprise that most of our top celebrities get trolled on social media almost every day. However, not often do we hear them come out and talk about their personal experiences regarding the issue. Today, Sunny Leone has decided to give back to all the naysayers and we say, "you go girl". The actress has been a victim of cyber-bullying and stalking for the longest time now and so has decided to join hands with an NGO to fight the harassment and abuse.
She said, "Someone threatened me, telling me he’d come to my house to cause harm. Daniel (Weber, her husband) was not in the country, and I was frightened because I was living alone. I would hear noises outside my house and walk towards the door with a knife in my hand". She also recalled that one of her social media followers had taken the cyber harassment to a whole new level by actually turning up at her doorstep. "He started banging on my door. That his Twitter followers had also bullied me, made me fear that a mob would turn up and break into my house", she said. Post which, the actress has installed cameras outside her house.
That particular incident seems to still affect the actress big-time. "We changed our house later, but this incident still affects me", she added. When asked about the issue and advice regarding the matter, Sunny stated that it is important for us to stay aware as also take necessary precautions and we so agree!
