Sherri Shepherd has had her share of online bullies and haters, but The View co-host had finally taken legal action after being threatened with rape.
On Wednesday she received a tweet from some twat named “DaCloneKiller,” who wrote, “somebody should drag u in a back alley and rape you.”
Shepherd, not surprisingly, was shocked by the disturbing message, and responded, “THIS IS A THREAT & I’M PISSED.”
“You think I should be raped in a back alley? Let’s see if the police agree w you & I took a pic of your tweet,” she continued.
The actress and comic added, “I am going 2 file a police report 4U threatening me. And so help me God, when I find out where U live, charges will follow.”
Shepherd took the moment to talk about the unfortunate trend of pussy ass internet bullies hiding behind their computer to make idle threats most wouldn't have the balls to do in person.
“This type of bullying is one of the reasons children are killing themselves b/c there’s no consequences for the bully(s),” she wrote.
What was even more shocking is that after Sheohard expressed her outrage, she received another group of vile, expletive-laden messages from strangers, some of which she retweeted.
Sherry refused to back down and went to the police station to file a complaint.
“Just returned from filing a police report for this online harrassment nonsense,” she tweeted a few hours later. “I will be pursuing this legally.”
While I do find Sherry to be absolutely annoying on The View, no one deserves that kind of harrassment. I hope she addresses this on The View this morning and brings awareness to this ridiculous trend of internet bullying.
