Lauryn Goodman's 'feels sick' as her kids are dragged into trolls' hate campaign
Lauryn Goodmanhas become the victim of a hate campaign, which has seen trolls accuse the model of not feeding her children properly and mistreating Kairo and Kinara
Lauryn Goodman"felt sick" after discovering trolls had doctored a cute photograph of her children - pasting the NSPCC logo on it and plastering it online.
The slurs even accused Lauryn of failing to feed little Kairo and Kinara properly, allegations which left the model disgusted. The picture, complete with the NSPCC logo and the charity's phone number, ended up on notorious gossip website Tattle Life.
It is one of the latest episodes amid a vile hate campaign Lauryn has faced since the story broke of her having had two children with married England footballer Kyle Walker. However, as Lauryn has been lauded for her work on social media, on which she helps other parents, and even styles herself as "a mumfluencer," the decision to share this particular image hit the woman especially hard.
The mum of two said: "I couldn't eat, I felt sick and I was filled with anxiety. I got heart palpitations. I felt like I was having a panic attack... They said that Kairo and Kinara were being neglected and treated badly. They even said that I wasn't feeding my children properly and there were just no repercussions. It was disgusting and so horrible about them."
The edited image appeared on Tattle Life alongside a giggling emoji. The anonymous troll, who Lauryn has described as a "keyboard warrior", had written: "It's one edit away from an NSPCC advert."
Tattle Life has gripped more than 12 million unique users every month since it was founded eight years ago and became infamous for its savage attacks on influencers and celebrities. The site claims to allow "commentary and critiques" of people who "choose to monetise their personal life," but members of the public are allowed to post anonymously about anyone they want – saying anything they like, no matter how damaging.
Victoria and David Beckham, TV presenter Stacey Solomon and Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague have also been victims of the keyboard warriors.
But this week, founder Sebastian Bond, who had remained anonymous since the launch of the site, was finally unmasked. He went to some lengths to hide his identity and connection to the site, using different names and disguising his operations behind businesses based in locations across the world.
It is reported tech entrepreneur Neil Sands and his wife Donna, who runs a popular clothing brand called Sylkie and is a fashion influencer with 26,000 Instagram followers, were awarded the damages for defamation and harassment after a court heard they were the target of a 45-page thread and were traumatised by the website for almost a decade.
And Lauryn says she formed an alliance with the couple, having met through an Instagram chat group called Tattle Unmasked, which tries to reveal the identity of anonymous posters. Hailing her success, the TV personality, who has had difficulty with the website since 2020, told Mail Online: "I feel like it has impacted me in quite a lot of ways... It has contributed to the circus and the narrative of the saga with Kyle.
"They are keyboard warriors, they feel so safe behind it and that they have anonymity. They take it too far and they say things that they would never, ever say to you if they saw you and they feel safe enough to go down this dark path without realising the repercussions on other people."

Meghan's As Ever jam is actually made in factory 2,000 miles from Montecito
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, had claimed the first batches of her latest As Ever products, including her jam and £21-a-jar honey, had sold out within hours of release A jam Meghan Markle has released under her new brand As Ever is actually made 2,000 miles from her mansion. The pricey preserve is said to be "inspired by the recipe Meghan crafted in her home kitchen" and an Instagram video shows a fruity mixture bubbling in a pot at the duchess' Californian property. However, it has now been revealed the jam - which Meghan sells for £6.50 per jar - is produced in a factory in Illinois, some 2,000 miles from Montecito. It is actually manufactured by the same US giant which sells Meghan's £9 packs of herbal tea. It also makes her sold-out orange blossom honey, priced at £21-a-jar – although it is not known whether it manufactures her newly released apricot preserve. Meghan, 43, had claimed last week the first batches of the apricot preserve and other new treats had sold out within hours of release online. But one tough food critic told the media she felt the jam was "a real disappointment" upon reviewing the fruity spread. Donna Collins blasted the jam, describing it as "too runny" to work. And mother-of-two Meghan faces more scrutiny today after it has emerged The Republic of Tea, which produces the jam, is based 2,000 miles from Montecito, quite the contrast to the homely image the duchess has presented in marketing for the preserve. A source close to the duchess said in order to formulate the commercial product, As Ever started with the spread Meghan makes at home "and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale". Meghan's website, though, describes her "signature" raspberry jam as "inspired by the recipe she made in her home kitchen" – and says it was deliberately crafted with a fluid texture". On her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, she described harvesting berries and making small batches of jars in her kitchen, adding: "I did save one of 50 for my mom." However, a source close to Meghan has confirmed to the Daily Mail that The Republic of Tea makes her As Ever raspberry spread, but a new supplier would soon be used. The Republic of Tea's headquarters is in Larkspur, California, 350 miles from Meghan's mansion - but the factory in which the jam is said to be made is in Illinois, which is in the Midwestern United States. In a statement given to the Mail, Netflix said: "Netflix and As Ever take pride in working with best-in-class vendors that meet our high standards for exceptional products. It's been exciting to see how much fans have embraced the As Ever product line, with the first two launches selling out so quickly We're looking forward to continued success as we expand and release more As Ever product throughout the year and beyond."

Maya Jama puts on a very busty display in figure-hugging zebra print dress as she shows off her incredible curves on Love Island: Aftersun
Love Island's Maya Jama put on a very busty display as she hosted Sunday's edition of the spin-off Aftersun. The brunette bombshell, 30, turned heads in a figure-hugging dress as she presented the live show following the dramatic episode - which saw couples take part in the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge. The Bristolian TV presenter - who is dating Portugese Man City player Ruben Dias - showed off her incredible curves in the bodycon dress, which featured a striking black-and-white animal print. Maya, who is known for her bold style, added a pair of white heeled sandals to complete the look, wearing her waist-length brunette hair in loose waves. She was joined by co-hosts Indiyah Polack, Joe Baggs and Sam Thompson in the segment. The panel were chatting to dumped Islanders Megan Forte Clark and Remell Mullins, who have been booted off the show recently. Poppy Harrison and Caprice Alexandra also made an appearance, with Poppy and Remell having an awkward run-in. She admitted she had been blindsided by Remell as she thought he 'really liked her' after the Truth or Dare game. However Remell insisted he told her his decision was 'shuffling' and he had changed his mind. The conversation ended with Remell asking to 'roll the tapes' to which Poppy agreed the producers should do. Former Islanders Olivia and Alex Bowen were in the hot seat tonight as they made a guest appearance. It comes after Maya insisted that there are 'a lot of frauds' working in television, who are only friendly when the cameras are rolling. She appeared on her pal Chunkz's podcast, The Chunkz Show, where she opened up on career and how she secured the coveted Love Island hosting role. As Chunkz praised her for being so down-to-earth and nothing like the preconceived ideas people had about celebrities, Maya insisted: 'There are a lot of frauds.' Caprice Alexandra looked stunning as she made her debut on Aftersun Remell looked smart casual in a pair of jeans and tank, which he paired with trainers Fellow TV personality Laurence McKenna chimed in to say: 'But also it's okay to be a presenter who is very friendly on camera and a bit reserved off camera.' But Maya was quick to cut in: 'Reserved yes, but b***h? There's some people who are evil off camera!' Keeping tight-lipped on who she was referring to, she added that she'd worked with people who acted differently after the cameras cut. She explained: 'A lot of people have been exposed like that. I won't say any names but on big telly, people have been caught on their mics being like mean.' Elsewhere, Maya also reflected on her role as the host of Love Island, revealing that she had got the job after previously being rejected for being 'younger than the Islanders'. 'I was actually living in America at the time when they wanted to meet about me potentially hosting. They called when I was in America and they were like "Would Maya be interested in hosting?"

Starmer demands BBC explanation for broadcasting Bob Vylan's 'appalling' chant
Chanting on a stage at Glastonbury, Bob Vylan called for the death of Israeli soldiers, footage which was available on BBC iPlayer until the corporation took it down Keir Starmer has demanded BBC bosses "explain" how a punk duo calling for the death of Israeli soldiers was broadcast from Glastonbury. Pro-Palestine act Bob Vylan chanted "death, death to the IDF" in a sickening rant on stage at the festival. Bobby Vylan, singer and guitarist of the duo, has since posted a defiant message on Instagram, despite police confirming officers are looking into his tirade. And the Prime Minister, who also said Glastonbury Festival organisers should not have let controversial rappers Kneecap appear on stage, has described Bob Bylan's words as "appalling hate speech". Mr Starmer, 62, said: "There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech. I said that Kneecap should not be given a platform and that goes for any other performers making threats or inciting violence. The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast." The BBC, which did not stream Kneecap live, conceded comments made by Bob Vylan were "deeply offensive". The duo's performance is no longer available to watch on BBC iPlayer. Event chiefs said they were "appalled" after the music double act led the crowd in "death to the IDF" chants during their performance. Glastonbury had previously said all are welcome at the festival but added it "does not condone hate speech or incitement to violence of any kind from its performers". Referring to Bob Vylan, Glastonbury organisers said on Sunday: "Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence." Israeli politicians, including the country's deputy foreign minister, Sharren Haskel, blasted the BBC and Glastonbury for failing to cut off the performance during the live broadcast. The singer from the pro-Palestine punk act, who keeps his identity secret, also shouted "from the river to the sea Palestine... will be free" - regarded by Jews as a call for Israel 's elimination. IDF stands for Israel Defence Forces, the national military of the State of Israel, which is currently involved with the war in Gaza, one of two remaining Palestinian territories. Avon and Somerset Police are now examining video evidence and investigating if any offence had been committed. However, Bobby Vylan has since said on Instagram: "I said what I said." The dad shared a lengthy statement to follow up, in which he stated: "Tomorrow it is a change in foreign policy." A BBC spokesperson said: "We have made an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on iPlayer, as part of our online collection of more than 90 other sets. "We have edited it to ensure the content falls within the limits of artistic expression in line with our editorial guidelines and reflects the performance from Glastonbury's West Holts stage. "As with all content which includes strong language, this is signposted with appropriate warnings. As we have said before, acts are booked by the festival, and the BBC doesn't ban artists. We didn't stream Kneecap live. "Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand."
