‘There will be someone in the DMs being absolutely vile to every single person that’s in the public eye, saying horrible things, getting into their brains.
‘There should be something that’s done about it. Even something as simple as showing a form of ID before you get a profile.

‘Think this has a double chin… not the one above. But thanks so much for your concern. stay cute X.’
