Georgia fans harassing Laura on social media

If you go to Laura's Twitter account you will find a couple in seconds. One mentioning Karma. They are comments by a Lee D and Aishah responding to Laura's tweet saying 'Thanks so much for your support...feeling down'...etc

'Karma is a bitch' was said to Laura. There's plenty in replies to different posts Laura made. Sad and pathetic. Poor Laura, hope she comes back and her and Goo blast the roof off.

The ones I saw were having a conversation about how Laura had been really unfair to Georgia and they didn't like how she'd treated her (not sure why).

As Chachaclo said, it seems silly to deny there are some Georgia fans who are abusing Laura on social media. Everyone probably has odd fans who send embarrassing stuff on social media. As long as no one is accusing you or people on this board of doing it I don't know why you're getting so defensive.

Exactly. It is beyond tedious.

Every celeb on social media gets abuse or some sort or other, there's just lots of idiots out there with time on their hands.

If you look there are tweets tagging Georgia stating that she should be sending Laura a get well message/good luck message for today. Neither woman can win!

To be honest I don't think that those tweeting Laura about Georgia and vice versa are fans of the person they are supposedly supporting at all. They just think they're hilarious, I think they're sad.

I should care. I don't. There're some miserable f*ckers out there. And here. And everywhere. At least they're being bitchy on twitter rather than bombing the already polluted water plant in Gaza or firing tear gas at refugees in Calais. Just for perspective...

There's one I saw the other day who sends abusive tweets to Georgia about Laura and abusive tweets to Laura about Georgia! Some people are just idiots!

Edit: Funnily enough one of these accounts sending a tweet about karma said this to a Georgia fan, https://twitter.com/Brittany_A993/st...54795736227840 - can't be one of the 11 then?!”

Brian, I have given you the reasons. Whether you believe it or not, doesn't bother me,
If you tell me Laura fans are sending nasty tweets to Georgia, I will say they are idiots and will not be asking for tweets, etc.

I don't follow celebs or like their stuff. This morning there was a confusion about Laura resuming training and that is the reason I went to see her tweets and saw Laura's reply to someone and followed on from there.

I don't deny that 'fans' of Georgia have been sending some 'abusive' messages to Laura - those as far as I'm aware there was never as many as 11, so where these 11 have come from since Saturday I've no idea.

But the reason this thread was brought up again today after a while was specifically because people who had been sending positive tweets to Georgia had then been sending 'abusive' tweets to Laura - so far I haven't seen any, let alone 11.


To bring some balance, as others have mentioned, here's some tweet Georgia's received in the past day:

But you specifically mention 11 people who had been sending positive tweets to Georgia like she was 'wonderful', had also been sending 'abusive' tweets to Laura such as 'hope you never dance again' - I have seen no evidence of that.

And as you're unwilling to provide any evidence at all, I can come no closer to believing you. Except to trust that you're being genuinely honest about these 11 people and wouldn't just make it up.

Aha but you're aware there were tweets about Laura's injury being Karma?

Agreed, I'm done now.

Can't be bothered to open any threads about Georgia henceforth. Will leave those who want to keep digging the knife in to have their fun.

I am indeed. But as far as I can see, these people have not been sending positive tweets to Georgia (Sarah suggested they were saying Georgia was 'beautiful' etc).

I'm not denying that Laura hasn't received negative tweets about her injury, clearly they are wholly unnecessary and uncalled for, but I have not found a single one of these 11 people who Sarah claims to have found who have been sending positive tweets to Georgia and then being 'abusive' to Laura since Saturday.

It's rather sad that Georgia has to constantly be part of negative discussion on the main forum, isn't it?!

Couldn't we just appreciate some of the wonderful dances she did during her time on Strictly?

Oh. I have no idea about that, I don't follow either of them on Twitter just went for a look at Laura's and really cba trawling through Georgia's.

I'm no Georgia fan but in fairness the negativity has been about her fans rather than her.

Thank you, you said it better than I ever could.

Also, I really cannot understand why this thread hasn't been closed yet since a similar one was closed earlier on during the day.

Naturally sending tweets to Laura of that sort of nature is wholly unnecessary and unacceptable. People are entitled to their opinions, but they should not then send these opinions so that Laura herself can see them.

Georgia herself has, in my opinion, gone above and beyond the call of duty, considering the circumstances, to attempt to stop this:
https://twitter.com/georgiafoote/sta...49851287068674
https://twitter.com/georgiafoote/sta...49920828628992”

Good for her and as for them what the eff is wrong with some people?

Directioners are infamous apparently. One mag had a bye-in under Harry Styles with 'he's out all night to get lucky' and they went nuts. How dare they accuse our prevous moppet of being a bit loose' especially funny because apparently he does have a bit of a rep and Taylor Swift apparently wrote 'Trouble' about him.

Lordy!

Given the amount of nutters out there who have no problem at all with dolling out online abuse, I think it's a measure of Laura's popularity that the cries of "fake" have been smaller in their numbers than other celebrities have received in a similar situation. I put this down to the fact that she has not in any way attempted to gain sympathy and has just been matter of fact and honest. Of course she must be utterly gutted (as was Giovanni on Saturday) but mucho respect to her for keeping the cameras away from visits to doctors and not doing the "ill voice" when she was interviewed with Giovanni. Get well soon Laura and ignore the plonkers is my advice

Thank you for so eloquently putting into words what I was describing yesterday. Irony is not lost on the fact that its coming from the same people complaining about Laura being judged and criticised by people for her injury- and yet you continue to come out with comments like this a year later about someone elses sickness - when shes not even in the competition ! Laura has received some negative comments from a very small handful of the same people. The majority on twitter and on this board all feel the same about that and have said so many times - its out of order as is the horrible tweets and comments sent to other people (as they are sent to them, they're just not mentioned on here as much). Luckily the majority of her tweets are all supportive, and the same goes for the other celebs too. When I look through this forum, I see the vast majority of comments about Laura are nothing but sympathetic and supportive too with only one or two comments to the contrary which is GOOD to see. She may not be my favourite this year, but an injury is horrible to have in the competition and I wish her well in her recovery.

Your comments above are a milder and far nicer representation of the many similar ones Georgia got last year when she wasn't well and yet you STILL continue on a year later! Can you not see the irony of posting this when you're on here at the very same time posting about not wanting Laura to be criticised about her injury and time out of SCD? Wouldn't it be nice if BOTH Laura and Georgia could be afforded the same courtesy? I'm still wondering why someone would wish to fake an illness,when it resulted in them having 2 days training time instead of 5 - right before a semi-final. Its not like she avoided dancing that week, so the illogical position of believing she faked a scenario which worked only to strongly disadvatage her is a bizarre one to take, though understandable going from everything else I've seen thrown at her. l apologise to the posters on here for listening to this nonsense AGAIN, I tell myself I won't reply and yet its so hard not to when people continue on in their pursuit with these pointless, negative criticisms of someone who's not even in the competition - less than a day after another thread has been closed that was trying to do exactly the same thing! I promise this will be the LAST time I reply (as I really don't want to be talking about this either!) ......but hopefully the above posts are enough to illustrate my frustration with continual nature of this - with someone who's not even in the competition this year. Georgia has her supporters, but none of them wish to discuss her on here. The unecessary digs are now firmly on my ignore button from now on, promise!

Why on earth would a bad ankle affect the way Laura speaks?????

Agree wholeheartedly with Humpty's post above!!

Couldn't agree more!

We all know that when doctor's VTs etc. are mentioned that it is yet another extremely thinly veiled dig at Georgia. Whenever it's Laura mentioned it's everybody should have sympathy (I quite agree) and how dare people accuse her of faking / exaggerating it (I quite agree). Yet the exact same people who say they have sympathy for Laura are those who spend their time accusing Georgia of faking / exaggerating her illness, and are STILL taking digs at her over it today. It's beyond belief!

As a point of clarity with regards to an earlier post, it was said that she has kept the cameras away from any doctors etc. that's true, but she's certainly kept us up to date with trips to the physio she's had over Twitter, and I see this morning she's once again posted a picture of her damaged leg on Twitter. I have no problem with that, she can do what she likes, but it's not the case that she's been silent about her injury.

Why was this thread even brought back up again? Supposedly because there are 11 people who are praising Georgia, saying she's wonderful, and at the same time 'abusing' Laura saying that they hope she never dances again. Why then, have we not got a single shred of evidence to prove that these accounts actually exist?

I genuinely question why, out of all the celebs last year, Georgia comes in for criticism most frequently. The bias of some people on here was exposed so completely in that thread yesterday, in a thread entitled 'Georgia didn't wish Laura well' she was immediately criticized for the tweet which she sent during the launch show which DID wish Laura well! I appreciate that Georgia's very beautiful, most probably very rich, clearly extremely talented, and to top it off, in my opinion, a kind, genuine, down to earth person - it's enough to make people extremely jealous seemingly.

I agree with you that both Laura and Georgia have received criticism when neither should have, but I really hate the argument people use that if you don't like someone you must be 'jealous' because they're so beautiful or whatever. A lot of the people on this thread who aren't Georgia fans are clearly fans of Laura, who is hardly a destitute loser hit by the ugly stick herself. I don't particularly like either of them, but I did like Kara, Alesha and Rachel Stevens, all of whom I would say are beautiful and successful. Sometimes you just don't like people for all sorts of reasons other people won't see, but it doesn't make you jealous.
