Those were dark times, Whelan Browne recalls. She received death threats and rape threats. “That really shocked me,” she says. “I copped anger and hatred from the media and the public and I just wasn’t prepared for that.”
Whelan Browne is now a powerful vocal ally on Twitter for women who have experienced sexual assault. “I know what it meant to me when people were willing to put their face and voice to a supportive comment, when others shied away because they knew it would provoke the trolls,” she says. “But I’m not afraid any more. I would prefer to be someone who uses their voice. I am never going to be quiet any more.
“The young women I worked with on Muriel’s Wedding were amazing at calling out anything they didn’t like. They are far better at pointing it out and saying, ‘That needs to stop’, and that gives me so much hope for the future. They just don’t have that same fear that I definitely grew up with, and that makes me so happy.”Photograph: Blake Sharp-Wiggins/The Guardian
I dig you!
Christie_Whelan Christie what about all the lies and bullying you do on twitter? Maybe you attract it to yourself by your own actions?
Wonder why she never mentions that she was caught lying and exaggerating in court?
Lucky these guys aren’t famous or she would be claiming they were inappropriate too. Her most successful role has been playing the victim. Like AmberHeard, she is only hurting actual victims.
Amazing how she keeps going to the media for attention. It’s almost as if she knows the only reason anyone knows her name is because she destroyed a man’s life. She is going to play the victim as long as she possible can to stay relevant. She’s only hurt actual victims.
Christie_Whelan You are strong and a source of inspiration.
Christie_Whelan Go you good thing. I had similar threats from Greyhound racing participants because I spoke out against the cruelty. And it's a 'self-regulated' industry so they can practically get away with anything. It toughens you up though and you get attitude. Stay strong and happy.
More power to you Christie
Christie_Whelan Big support and respect to you.
