OHMYGOSSIP — Camilla Thurlow admits trolling made her feel “vulnerable”.
The ‘Love Island’ star – who has five-month-old baby Nell with Jamie Jewitt – revealed her first few weeks as a mum were “difficult” as she faced a backlash after sharing her struggles of night feeding.
Speaking on the ‘Sweat, Snot & Tears’ podcast, the 31-year-old star said: “In those early weeks I found it so difficult when I was sharing some of the reality when I got nasty messages – I really struggled with it. It’s probably among the most vulnerable times in my life, I would say – I just would take it so much to heart.
“The ones I found hardest was when I was sharing those night feed stories that were getting this positive response but in amongst that there were responses from people who would say things like ‘you’re attention seeking’, ‘we don’t need to see this’ and ‘I don’t want to see this’.”
Camilla – who fell in love with Jamie on the ITV2 dating show in 2017 – initially wanted to stop sharing her journey into motherhood with her followers because of the abuse.
However, she decided to keep going to support those who she can help.
She explained: “It’s that horrible thing where it stops you wanting to share what the reality is or what you’re actually thinking and feeling but you know that that does ongoing damage as well.
“Also, you’re responding to someone who has chosen to go down that route. You’re not responding to the 10 messages from women being like ‘thank you so much for doing this’ or ‘gosh you’ve just made me feel really so much better about the fact that my baby didn’t sleep last night either’.”
