Alison Hammond Claps Back at Trolls During Her Break from ‘This Morning’
Alison Hammond, the beloved television personality, is taking a well-deserved one-month hiatus from her Friday appearances on ‘This Morning’. Her announcement, made on March 1 during her last show, has sparked an unnecessary and unkind backlash from some online trolls, to which Alison has firmly and gracefully responded, as reported by “Wales Online“.
On a recent Monday, Alison, 49, encountered negative comments on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Critics attempted to tarnish her day with unwarranted attacks, including one who insinuated that she had become “a real nasty piece of work,” succumbing to her own success. Alison, undeterred by the negativity, publicly addressed the troll, questioning the rationale behind their baseless accusations and advocating for kindness in online interactions.
Another detractor attempted to discredit her accomplishments, suggesting she only received opportunities because she “ticks the right boxes.” Alison’s sharp wit shone through as she retorted, signaling her refusal to let the comment slide and choosing instead to ‘block’ the negativity from her digital space.
The outpouring of support from Alison’s fans was immediate and overwhelming. Her followers rallied to her defense, praising her for the joy and positivity she consistently brings into their lives, and condemning the hateful comments. Many echoed the sentiment that those who spread negativity are often projecting their own dissatisfaction and advised Alison to rise above it.
During her break from ‘This Morning’, Alison is focusing on personal time, including moving into a new house and spending quality time with her son. She assured her audience that Josie Gibson would be stepping in alongside Dermot O’Leary during her absence. Despite her temporary departure, Alison’s influence remains palpable, with fans and colleagues alike eagerly anticipating her return.
Alison’s encounter with online trolls and her poised response highlights the ongoing struggle public figures face in the digital age, but also showcases the resilience and positivity that she embodies, serving as an inspiration to not let the negativity of others dim one’s light.
