Sam Frost’s emotional plea to fans

"People are very angry at me." - by Maddison Hockey
  • 09 Jul 2020

Home And Away star Sam Frost shared an emotional plea on Instagram last night after volatile fans turned on the actress.

WATCH: Sam Frost says future Home and Away is uncertain amid crisis

The 31-year-old, who plays Summer Bay character Jasmine Delaney, took to Instagram in a series of emotional videos pleading with “angry” fans who had been sending the star abusive comments and messages online telling her ‘to kill herself’.

In the now-deleted videos Sam wrote: "My character on Home and Away is doing some weird things at the moment and people are angry."

In the show’s current storyline Sam’s character Jasmine is trying to win custody of her deceased husband Robbo’s (Jake Ryan) baby from her biological mother Tori (Penny McNamee) who is a long-standing favourite on the show.

In recent episodes Tori’s car was stolen with baby Grace inside, which has led Jasmine to claim negligence and file a report with police.

Sam had to remind fans that she is, in fact, not Jasmine and that it is just a character being portrayed on a TV show.

"I've just got a fresh batch of DMs, I think my recent post spiked it,” she said in the video.

“People are very angry at me at the moment but I think I just need to remind everyone it’s a TV show. It’s not real I don’t actually want to steal a baby."

She also captioned the video, in more lighthearted fashion: “Not an actual baby stealer”.

Trying to take a softer approach, Sam joked that while she would never steal a baby, perhaps she would steal a cute dog.

The actress revealed, however, the abusive comments she was receiving had become extremely dark and threatening.

“Telling me to kill my myself, that I should die things like that are probably unnecessary it’s just a TV show and I’m playing a character so relax."

While backlash online has become a concerningly prevalent part of fame it is absolutely never acceptable to send these kinds of messages.

Instagram fan page Best Of Summer Bay says it best in a recent post defending the star and the rest of the cast: "Shouting abuse at someone, or leaving nasty comments on their posts isn’t a healthy choice of lifestyle."
