Reality star is threatened with physical assault in vile messages after posting an innocent video of her outfit
The Bachelor Bella Varelis has provoked a troll who threatened her in a vicious series of posts on Instagram.
The former reality star turned influencer shared a photo of the cruel message she received after posting a video showing off her outfit.
“I would kick her if I ever saw her,” the troll wrote.
Bella replied, “Why would you follow someone you want to kick? Sounds like a big contradiction, doesn’t it?
She also posted an image of the message exchange, saying, “Honestly, some people on the internet are horrible. This girl – who follows me – replied to my story instead of forwarding it to her friend.”
“I’m honestly disgusted that anyone would actually express a desire to cause physical harm to another human being. You have no idea what someone else is going through mentally and a small negative comment can make someone look viral.”
Bella explained that she decided to name the woman because “if you’re not happy with having your name associated with the words, they shouldn’t have come out of your mouth.”
The reality star also shared a video to her story and thanked her fans for their concern after her post.
The Bachelor Bella Varelis has named and shamed a troll who threatened her with physical abuse in mean messages on Instagram
‘I get a lot of messages asking if I am doing well. “I am doing well, but I am upset because it is a very unnerving feeling to think that someone wants to cause me physical harm,” she said.
“No one should ever feel like they could potentially leave their home and be physically harmed.”
“I will not tolerate that behavior and that is why I named and shamed her. Especially with everything that’s happening in this world and the abuse that’s happening in Australia, it’s sickening and disgusting.”
Bella said she tries to create a “happy and positive environment” on social media and wants to show women that it is “important to stand up for yourself.”

“I want to show you that if anyone is ever negative towards you or is emotionally or physically abusive, you should never tolerate it,” she continued.
Bella then broke down in tears as she added, “There’s a lot of other things going on outside of my life online.”
“I really try to keep my private life private, but I also want to be open about my mental health with you guys. I’m not doing well at the moment, so that’s bothering me a little bit right now.’
