My Daughter's 15 minutes of fame - devastated

[BigBessie]

I have a daughter in her late 20's. She has set up really successful business and is not only earning a good salary but she mentors and supports younger women to become entrepreneurs.
She was on tv this weekend being interviewed about her lifestyle and how she got there.
It has been shared all over on social media and the comments are horrific. From slating her looks to sexual assault threats.
I have stopped reading the comments but am devastated to read such vitriol regarding my child

I was thinking the same thing. At least some of the twats posting this tedious shit will be bosses, husbands, fathers.

And as noted some will be actual children.

Op I also experienced 15 mins of fame for a swimwear company I founded and I knew to NEVER read the comments. advice I took from Beyoncé 😂😭

i remember that I did get a few nasty emails, with women (I presume?) indignant and outraged that I didn’t carry suits for larger bodies but they didn’t attack me as a person.

Sounds like your daughter is doing an amazing job. It’s tough to not take it personally but it’s best not to feed the trolls.

It's because she's a successful female. Sadly many men can't grasp she got there on her own talent and merit so make nasty comments to try to drag her down. Tell her to hold her head up and ignore the idiots.

Are there also positive comments? It's hard but try to focus on the positive encouraging comments. Haters will always hate unfortunately you'll never change them. Unless you were face to face with them & then they'd probably be nice as pie

Some will be bored jealous women too sadly

Best thing you can both do, is not read the comments. People love to hate but as others have said, they are a minority (believe it or not).
Tell your DD to just carry on doing what she’s doing because clearly, she’s great at it and focus only on her clients and herself.
The results will speak for themselves and she will get the right feedback from those who matter, rather than reading awful trolled comments from strangers who mean nothing to her/you.
I had to learn that what others think of me is not my business.
Don’t read the comments.
Sending love and light ✨🫶🏻❤️

We live in a world where the Taliban gets enough support to be able to govern a country of roughly 40million. People aren’t that different so there is bound to be quite a a lot of people in this country who want to crush women. People like your daughter are great for society unlike the angry losers online.

That's horrible! I hope your DD and you will realise that thisreaction is sadly normal and to be expected and not personal at all. It doesn't seem to matter who the person is, looks like, their politics, views, age etc, etc, they will get trolled. Ignore unless particularly threatening.

Most women with a public profile are picked on by trolls. Much of it jealousy, misogyny or just bored people with no life entertaining themselves by being nasty. Even if you're gorgeous you'll be called ugly, fat even if you're slim, slut etc...any female get landed with that one. She shouldn't have to put up with it but she should also rest assured they're just trolls who target all women with insults no matter who they are.

I'm happy that your daughter is successful and is passionate about her life. She has also chosen to give back already.
Unfortunately, there are many men who sit online getting in " women's business" trying to police us. If one of us is a "flop" , these types of men are ready with the bitter , victim blaming. If one of us is successful, especially if the presence of a man cannot be discerned as being the key to the success, these same losers are out for blood.
One even sees the phenomenon on this site in a lower key way.
Your daughter has the temerity to not have a tree growing out of her face, doesn't use this genetic blessing in to sell sex, isn't indolent, has nous, is a dreamer who does, pays it forward and has had legitimate media attention whilst not being a " clout seeker".
All this will grip the balls of loser men who cannot put your daughter in a box in order to make her more compatible with their toxic inadequacy. Hence the conspiracy theory that she must be selling herself on Only Fans, etc.
Very few portals of social media escape the tentacles of misogyny or " badmind". Big up to people like your daughter who use it in order to be constructive and to facilitate her earning a living that she won't have to hide from people.
I always wonder if people who indulge in toxicity online realise that there is really no true anonymity online?
OP, harden yourself a little bit and hug yourself for being a loving and concerned parent. It's shit that even as we get older and think that we have seen and heard it all, the fact is that the bottom of the barrel is forever resistant .

Awww.. Absolute arseholes... Try not to read the comments.. Always going to be nasty jealous people!!.. Focus on the positive!!.. She's not only smashing It in life, she's helping and encouraging others to.. That's beautiful xxx

I was bullied by one of these twats online. He met me in real life and never dared do it there. Pathetic pathetic pathetic men. I wish the police treated these as the hate crimes they are rather than Pershing people for misgendering blokes pretending to be ladies.
well done to your daughter.
