You’d think by now that people would understand the importance of just saying something nice or not saying anything at all, yet here we are. The Young and the Restless alum Hunter King (ex-Summer Newman) recently had to fight back against her internet trolls after she shared a photo of herself on her Instagram account. It was a pic of her in a rather vulnerable state, yet many of her social media followers still couldn’t help but attack her because of her looks. Here’s what you need to know.
The Young and the Restless Alum Hunter King Forced To Fight Back Against Hurtful Internet Trolls
Hunter shared a photo of herself looking rather tired and captioned it with, “Tried the white eyeliner hack… still look tired.” Of course, it didn’t take very long for her fans and followers to comment on her photo. And while some people said that she still looked gorgeous with or without the beauty sleep, others accused her of plumping her lips.
Hunter made it no secret that all of the comments from the trolls sure did sting in a bad way. “Keep your negative comments to yourself,” she said. “I don’t know who raised people to think it’s okay to spew such negativity. It’s rude. And it’s hurtful.”
Thankfully, there were many fans that did come to her defense. Some commented with, “Lol relax internet trolls, I wake up next to her every morning and this is a common thing! She’s gorgeous even when her lips get swollen and spoiler alert to all the medical experts leaving comments about fillers – the swelling goes down an hour or so after waking up, calm down.”

Another fan wrote, “Why a grown man… or woman feels the need to go to out of their way to comment on a WOMAN’s body blows my mind. Who raised you and where is your decency? My parents taught me to be respectful of women and their bodies. I hope anyone who didn’t think twice before commenting on a personal IG page, can open their eyes and start to understand the damage these kinds of comments can have. Even if you are considered to be beautiful – it doesn’t mean it’s open season to make hurtful or judgmental comments about their image or physic. Imagine if you had a daughter – imagine for a second – another grown man or woman unsolicitedly negatively commenting on her body.”
