Jeremy Clarkson's daughter hired investigator to save family from online trolls
After being subject to vile abuse online, Emily Clarkson did all she could to protect her family from the online trolls and managed to track them down with thanks to a personal investigator Jeremy Clarkson's daughter Emily has taken drastic measures to protect her family as online trolls attacked her personal life online. In recent weeks influencers and celebrities have opened up about the toll online gossip site Tattle Life has taken on their lives, with personal lives, cruel comments and addresses being shared on the platform. Since Tattle Life's anonymous owner was outed in a Northern Irish court last month, victims of the vicious forum openly spoken out about the impact it's had on them. Jeremy Clarkson's eldest daughter is among those speaking out after she resorted to hiring a private investigator to help uncover the trolls targeting her and her family. Speaking on her podcast Should I Delete That? with co-host Alex Light, Emily said the gossip site had left her "broken" and the cyberbullying got to bad she needed help stopping the abuse. Emily said: "Tattle has been the biggest thorn in our sides. You and I, Al, have genuinely been heartbroken by this; it's affected me to the point where I've had to block it on all devices." Tattle, which attracted 12 million visitors a month has been around for nearly a decade, and was originally created as an open platform for discussion, but has been known as a "troll site" attacking celebrities and internet personalities. Emily, who is an author, is just one of thousands of people being trolled by anonymous Tattle users and the 30-year-old said her pregnancy with her second child, Xanthe was ruined by trolls on the site who leaked details of her pregnancy. "I was so broken by it, I haven't been able to check it since Arlo was born, if they say anything bad about my kids I'm gonna die," Emily further detailed.

"It felt really nice to know they could be found, and if you push me too far, I know who you are," she said. "If I read my thread, I'd think I'm the worst person in the world. Emily said: "I'm incredibly good at finding people on the internet," and her investigation skills led her to find one Tattle Life user who referred to Emily as 'thrush' as she was 'annoying', but on Instagram, the user would message Emily being as nice as pie. To show her she knew who she was, Emily decided to send her a picture of thrush medication on Instagram and was swiftly left alone by the troll. "She saw it and never replied," Emily laughed. However she said the comments not only "broke her" but could also have a detrimental effect on her career including work partnerships and relationships as those targeted never get a chance to defend themselves.

Katie Price slams claims she's being ‘pimped out' by friend in Dubai
Katie Price has laughed off claims she's being 'pimped out' by an untrustworthy pal while in Dubai. The former glamour model turned OnlyFans creator, 47, took to her Instagram Stories on Sunday to set the record straight following spurious online rumours. Talking to camera from the back of a car, wearing giant square-framed black sunglasses, Katie began: 'I'm only addressing this because it is a topic at the moment – the site Tattle. 'I've been told that they're saying I'm out in Dubai with Louisa and she's pimping me out and she's not even my friend.' Mum-of-five Katie then went on to argue that users of the online gossip forum 'don't actually know me very well'. 'I've known Louisa nearly 20 years,' she continued. 'We used to ride together, and you can google it, we did everything together – she even had her horse at mine. And so she's moved to Dubai so I've come to see her. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'And no, you won't find Louisa 'cos she's very private, not on social media. She doesn't need to be on social media, like a lot of people on social media just for no reason really.' The reality TV star then added, 'She actually is a Monaco princess. So, there you go!' and laughs could be heard in the background before a woman's voice said: 'Thanks Kate.' Katie has been sharing her time in Dubai on Snapchat too, revealing that she jetted out on Wednesday to take part in a photoshoot and spend time with Louisa who she 'hasn't seen for years' after they previously used to go horse riding together 'all the time'. Later on Sunday, she posted pictures from dinner out at a pan Asian restaurant at the Dubai Marina for which she wore a white cut-out dress and diamante earrings. Dubai has recently been at the heart of some dark claims around so-called Porta Potty parties, events where female social influencers are taken to and then paid huge sums to be subjected to extreme and degrading abuse. Meanwhile, Tattle Life – which first appeared on the internet in 2018 as a website for people to 'fairly' criticise celebrities – has been in the news recently after its creator was unmasked as plant-based recipe influencer Sebastian Bond, known as Bastian Durward of Nest & Glow. Irish couple Neil and Donna Sands discovered the 43-year-old's identity after suing the website for hosting defamatory commentary about them. Last week Katie took to Instagram with a post to celebrate her daughter Princess as she turned 18, although she jumped the gun slightly by going two days early – a mistake she then acknowledged after replacing the post. The TV personality is also the mother of Harvey, 23, Junior, 20, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10. More Trending Princess – who Katie shares with ex-husband Peter Andre after they met while appearing on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here – has indicated her intention of following in her mother's footsteps, previously sharing her ambition of becoming a millionaire before she turns 20. She's already scored brand deals with the likes of Superdrug and PrettyLittleThing, and is also launching her own jewellery line. It was announced earlier this year that she will be headlining her own ITV show, which follows her journey into the public eye. While Katie is not expected to appear in the show, dad Peter and brother Junior will cameo, along with Peter's wife, Emily. Got a story?
