"Over the weekend, Georgia Tennant posted a series of screenshots on her Instagram Stories, detailing some of the horrendous messages she has received on the platform. In one post, shared by Metro, a troll dubbed Tennant "sick" and told her to "die" and to "go back to the street". They also shared a false claim about her marriage to Good Omens actor David Tennant, branding her the "ex-wife" of the actor. Other messages called her "disgusting" and a "dirty w****" who deserved to "die for good", per the Daily Mail."
"Tennant didn't provide any additional comment on the grim messages, but did tag the official Metropolitan Police Instagram account in her post. She also tagged the handle for Instagram itself, which is owned by Meta. In a follow-up post on Sunday (9 November), Tennant called out the social media platform for removing her screenshots as they supposedly went "against community standards" while failing to remove the "hundreds" of abusive messages she receives which use "the same language"."
"The 40-year-old actress is best known for her roles in Merlin, The Bill and , but has also become known in recent years among the LGBTQ+ community for her staunch allyship. Tennant has become a particularly vocal ally for the transgender community, speaking out when the community has been targeted by politicians and policy-makers in recent years, including after the UK's Supreme Court decision in April to exclude trans women from the legal definition of a woman."
