EXCLUSIVE: Big Brother's Casey reveals HORRIFYING threats

This is not okay. - by Maddison Hockey
  • 08 Jul 2020

Reality stars receiving horrendous and hateful comments online is a story we’re sadly all too familiar with.

While it’s absolutely never acceptable or warranted for someone to receive these kinds of comments, for Big Brother’s Casey Mazzucchelli, they began for no apparent reason and came suddenly by the hundreds.

The 25-year-old account assistant recently took to Instagram to warn followers she wouldn’t tolerate racist or insensitive comments on her accounts.

But, talking to New Idea Casey reveals she had been receiving more hate online than fans could know or see.

“I was receiving quite intense messages on my Instagram,” Casey tells.

“I had probably close to 400 messages telling me to kill myself. It was really, really quite traumatic.”

Casey explains that she had no idea what she had done to spark so much hate and outrage.

“It was coming from a place that I didn’t really understand. I didn’t see what I’d done to warrant that and I didn’t see where the hate was coming from. It was confusing.

Before that I’d received dribs and drabs of hate so I was fine with letting that roll off my shoulder but that mass of it was quite intense.”

Casey rarely caused drama or controversy in the house.

Despite the horrific ordeal, Casey has tried to push past the hate and use the experience for good by speaking out.

“If I can shed light on that, I'm more than happy to.

I’m not going to roll over and let people speak to other people that way, because at the end of the day, I'm sorry but it's just a TV show.”

The recently evicted housemate admits she let the barrage of threats get to her for a moment, and rightly so, but she’s now moving on.

“I had a little cry about it and that was that. The hate has stopped for now which is nice.

It’s just what happens with reality TV, people latch on to things that they don’t necessarily need to.”
