I've name changed for this as some of my previous posts are potentially outing and I don't want it linked.
Someone I knew years back, who now is only a social media friend/acquaintance fancies herself as a bit of a social media influencer. She's big into fitness and posting pictures of herself mostly in the buff. She's recently had a baby and posts alot about that too. Her posts are sometimes a bit much in terms of oversharing and inflating her own ego, but I think that's part and parcel of being an "influencer" these days.
Anyway, I have recently found a thread about her on a gossip site. I came across it by accident and its absolutely brutal. Some of the stuff posted she possibly deserves, but alot of it is out and out bullying. Usually I'd say nothing, if she doesn't know it can't hurt her right? Except people have been screenshotting things of her Instagram and sharing them, quite often including pictures of her baby. Some people have scribbled the face out but some haven't. I get that it's a risk she takes posting photos of her child on her very public Instagram, but I just feel uneasy knowing they are there when she potentially doesn't.
My main reason for not telling her is that as much as she comes across as confident, she has had her share of severe body image issues and eating disorders in the past. She's clearly struggling now with a post partum body and I think the stuff on the thread would tare her down!
Wwyd? Tell her? Leave well alone?
