Former Gogglebox star Tom Malone Jr has shared the horrific abuse experienced by his girlfriend after trolls threatened to throw acid in her face. The 26 year old star, who first shot to fame alongside his family on the popular Channel 4 show in 2016, took to social media to highlight the vile and racist abuse experienced by his partner Bryony Briscoe.
Sharing examples of some of the messages she had received, in one message the troll said “she looks like a man” while referring to Bryony, while another took things once step further and wrote: “Would you still like her, with acid in her face? Let’s see how that goes.” Rather than remain silent on the matter, Tom addressed the situation to draw attention to the fact it was unacceptable behaviour - but also to highlight how the current algorithm to detect dangerous and abusive content clearly didn’t work. He wrote: “Trigger warning: Racism.
So during the pandemic any content that mentioned covid was flagged immediately and a warning could be put on it but @instagram can’t track racial slurs and prevent them from being used,” he questioned. Bryony herself also took to social media as she addressed the abuse she was being subjected to, after one fan asked her, “How do you deal with racial abuse?” She said: “I’ve never received racial abuse from someone more intelligent or successful than me which I find humour in.
“It doesn’t bother me much anymore because it’s not a reflection of me it’s a reflection of how much hatred that person has in their heart and that their issue not mine. “Life is too to be affected by other peoples internal wars.” Tom and Bryony's relationship has gone from strength to strength and they have even spoken about tying the knot one day.
