Jelena Dokic

Jelena Dokic needed a moment to compose herself as she revealed details of her trolling torment in a powerful appearance on Q+A on Monday night.

“That’s scary and so sad and then people like this disgusting person and a few others out there make fun of it!? The most common comment being ‘what happened to her, she is so big’? People should be so ashamed. They should (be) ashamed of themselves.” “Coming from everywhere in the world and a special shout to so much of it coming from Serbia as the last picture confirms. “I will tell you what happened, I am finding a way and surviving and fighting. “The ‘body shaming’ and ‘fat shaming’ over the last 24 hours has been insane,” she posted in all capitalised letters. “A new low and this actually made me cry this morning when I woke up and read it,” she wrote. “You do get a bit of this hate and you get trolling and I’ve had it on everything, from a mental health perspective to body shaming to abuse as well. “I am the opposite, I am trying to do something good with my platform and create a safe space and a community as well. Dokic uploaded several images to her personal Instagram account showing off her outfit for the AIME (Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event), a trade event for the meetings and event industry in the region. “Then you read these comments and it was breaking my heart to actually hear this but I actually know that that’s how it works because there are so many people suffering.”
