Woman commits suicide after cruel comment

https://amp.independent.ie/irish-news/an-amazing-mother-and-beautiful-woman-tributes-paid-to-irish-model-alli-macdonnell-37781543.html

Before she died she posted a Facebook status saying that a man had called her a “fat ugly ****” and had pushed her to the edge. Nothing has been confirmed yet with regards to how she passed away, but it’s seeming pretty obvious.

I’m sure she had other issues going on too, but what an absolute tragedy that someone’s cruel comments drove a beautiful young woman to take her own life. Not to mention that whoever said that to her must now live with the consequences of those words for the rest of his life.

I've received many horrible comments on boards.ie after people disagreed with me and called me a waste of space and other passive aggressive insults (to get around rules) to make me feel bad and kill myself. Just see my threads in my profile. Creating a thread makes people wish death on you. So no it's not surprising. Psychological bullying is worse than physical.

I'm confident you can produce evidence to back this assertion.

Crazy thing to do, I feel for her kids and her sisters and family. Why kill yourself over some dickhead and his words.

It’s not bullying if you anonymously start a discussion. On an anonymous discussion forum. Inviting discussion on the topic you want discussed. Anonymously.

Your nonsense opinions and attitudes are what invite the responses you get. I doubt anybody wishes ‘death’ on you. I’ve no doubt plenty if people do wish ‘go away and stop posting shyte’ on you though.

Well done though. Now this thread is all about you.

I like to bully the bully both online and in real life.
Bullies are a huge problem on the internet. You see it on every site, social media can be so cruel. You even get groups of them these days who go on the attack against one person at the same time.
Its a pity you don't have to give out your address when you act that way online. I think if you did you wouldn't see so much of it.

When it comes down to it, psychological abuse can be a lot worse than physical abuse for a number of reasons.

The effects are often more prolonged, lasting years
The duration of the abuse is often a lot longer as the victim(s) are often being abused over an extended period of time before they recognise what is happening to them
It’s a lot easier to evidence physical abuse than psychological abuse.

Unfortunately psychological abuse is extremely common, in real life and online

I can’t stand the term bullying. It seems to demean what is actually happening
Call it what it actually is

The law needs to tighten up on abuse and make all forms of abuse a criminal matter

Does a singular remark warrant being labelled a bully or is it only applicable when an extremely terrible thing like this happens? The internet allows for any tool to type something so flippant and common but to the some receivers it can have a lasting effect like it has on this woman. Yes, such an utterly childish thing to do, but if it wasn't on-going and a persistent case of bullying, to call the individual all the names under the sun and bully them in return for a isolated comment, is a bit much. There has to be more to this. Were there underlying issues that she was dealing with in her life that were contributing factors? Personally, I dont understand how a person of that age can take a comment posted online personally. People born way until the mid 90's didnt have the internet growing up in our teens and from what I understand people from these generations dont take heed from these type of abusive comments. I understand how kids born into this age of social media would feel and respond to getting comments like this online.

Fuck him if he's being called all the names under the sun. It might be an isolated incident of insulting this woman but I'm sure it's not the first time he's been a dickhead online.

I can genuinely say I've never felt the need to say anything like this to someone online. Fuck the coward if he gets some of his own medicine.

There were likely other factors in this womans suicide but this asshole probably spends hours online doing this shite. God knows how many people he makes feel like shit for his own entertainment. It wouldn't have this effect on most of them, but he still makes them feel bad enough.

Handy thing about being born in the 70's is a healthy scepticism about all things online, I coped for 30 years with no internets and regard social media as a load of old toss.

No mention of bullying in that piece.

It sounds like maybe she was struggling with other issues in her life.

May she RIP. What a loss for her family.

Mod Note I'm closing this for the moment. Mainly because from my understanding it's total speculation regarding how this woman passed away.
