Trolls said I was so fat gravy would spill out if I cut myself says Gemma Collins as she reveals abuse over self-harming
GEMMA Collins has told of the sickening abuse she suffered at the hands of trolls after bravely revealing her secret self-harming past.
The reality TV star's documentary on her childhood trauma aired tonight - and Gemma read out the vicious trolling she got for speaking out. "So attention-seeking.
The only thing she cuts is food to shovel in her face," Gemma read out loud on her Channel 4 documentary, Gemma Collins: Self-Harm & Me.
She looked shocked as she said: "I heard she cut her arm and gravy came out." Another comment read: "You disgusting woman, this is all lies," "This silly cow will say anything to sell a story." Gemma continued to read: "Shut up piggy, nobody cares about you or your family so shut up and disappear." But brave Gemma insisted: "It doesn't bother me." The reason the 41-year-old hid her self-harming secret for so long is because she feared she'd be "locked up forever" in a "mental asylum".
