Adele targeted by sick internet trolls following birth of son



Adele has been targeted by a slew of sick internet trolls following the birth of her son.

The Rolling In The Deep singer found herself targeted by several Twitter uses who posted disgusting and hurtful messages about her baby boy just minutes after news of the birth was revealed.

The most disturbing message came from a user called name Vanessa Bieber, who wrote: 'Aw Adele gave birth to a baby. Is it fat and handicapped lol? Just murder it already lol.'

Another Twitter user wrote: 'I’ll go see her in the UK and kill her', while another retweeted the message, adding: 'And kill her baby.'

Many other users wrote that Adele would have more material to write about if she suffered from post-natal depression, or if her son died, while others said they hadn't realised Adele was pregnant because she is overweight.


Adele, 24, is not the first star to be targeted by trolls on social networking sites such as Twitter.

Champion swimmer Tom Daley was forced to involve the police after a Twitter user suggested his late father would have been disappointed by his performance at the London 2012 Olympics.

And Gary Barlow found himself the target of trolls following the tragic death of his baby daughter, who taunted him after the devastating news was announced.

sweet_honesty 22nd-Oct-2012 02:27 am (UTC)
Why would you want to kill her or her baby? And even if they aren't serious, I feel like they should be investigated.

Idk how it works in other countries but the one that stands out to me is, "I'll go see her in the UK and kill her." For sure they are all sick, terrible things to say but that one comment is a direct threat.
ladysilverangel 22nd-Oct-2012 04:20 am (UTC)
What's brilliant is that this tweet alone may be enough to prevent them for ever entering the UK, like that tourist who wasn't allowed to enter the US cause he made one joke on twitter ;)
kidfromurmemory 22nd-Oct-2012 02:27 am (UTC)
damn, they're mad that Adele giving birth is even slaying their faves

lol these are not sociopaths

they're just internet dicks
muzicnem 22nd-Oct-2012 05:43 am (UTC)
Maybe, maybe not. I feel like you have to kind of fit the definition of a sociopath to be okay with doing something like this.
