Phoebe Burgess Fights Online Hate

Phoebe Burgess has become a prominent voice in a new anti-bullying initiative, candidly sharing her struggles with relentless online criticism. The former WAG is collaborating with Snapchat and Project Rockit to raise awareness about cyberbullying.

Burgess confessed to a long-standing pattern of ignoring online abuse, admitting she altered her life to avoid being a 'target.' She details shrinking her world by disengaging from social media and avoiding work events to minimize visibility, a coping mechanism she finds heartbreaking when considering its impact on young people.

Now actively educating her children about online behavior, Burgess seeks to instill bravery and self-respect, ensuring they know they can confide in her. Her participation underscores a commitment to combatting passive acceptance of online harm and fostering a culture where individuals feel empowered to act against abuse.
