Rachel Riley reveals how trolls affected her unborn child negatively

The Countdown star said:

“But when I got pregnant, you have like some chocolate and within minutes the baby is wriggling and the baby is kicking.
“And the day I was going for my scan my baby was kicking and I was excited. It was excited.”

Referring to the trolls and their impact on her baby, she revealed:

“They were exposed as anti-Semites. The Labour leadership were exposed as liars. Their followers took it personally and attacked anyone going anywhere near.
“I was very stressed and upset and my baby stopped wriggling for a couple of days. At that point you think, ‘Nah’.
“I realised that however mentally strong I am, there’s adrenalin, there’s hormones that go through your body and now I’m sharing them, I absolutely don’t need to give that to my baby.”

Rachel Riley blocks trolls on social media

The TV star Rachel has now decided to stop the trolls. She has joined a campaign that asks celebrities to not engage in trolls but to block them. It is The Don’t Feed The Trolls initiative which states, that celebrities are deliberately targeted by trollers to spread insults.

The Centre for Countering Digital Hale’s research showed that the US neo-Nazi groups have urged their supporters to target celebrities to widen their exposure.

She also hired security after getting physical threats from the anti-Semitic group. Rachel stated that some of the trolls make her laugh. One female troller had written that she is boycotting BBC. Rachel said:

“I don’t work for the BBC. You have to laugh at these people. When you see people tweeting that, that shows how well-researched they really are.
“Someone said they have this theory that a man must be running my Twitter account.
“Their evidence for it was, ‘How can she be on television and be tweeting at the same time’.”
