Jules Robinson has called for cyber-bullying to be recognised as a criminal offence after sharing a shocking example of the messages she receives from trolls daily.
The pregnant Married At First Sight star uploaded a screenshot of a cruel message she received which read: ‘Did your baby die yet? I have a feeling you just got fat again? I hope you have a painful miscarriage. Fat and ugly. Praying for your miscarriage.’
Discussing the severity of the message on Instagram Stories on Wednesday, the 36-year-old explained that it was past the point of ‘freedom of speech’ and was sent to purely ‘hurt her feelings.’

Explaining the regulations she wanted in place to combat cyber-bullying, Jules candidly explained in a video: ‘A while ago, I put up a [Instagram] Story saying how I’d like to make the changes to online bullying.
‘Certain things should be a criminal offence, and some people should be banned from social media for six months – and if they keep on doing, it’s a serious criminal rule that they are breaking!’
Going back to her case in point, Jules continued: ‘This message I got is just the kind of thing I’m talking about.
‘I’m not talking about freedom of speech and having an opinion because… I always have an opinion on things but what that person has done to me is purely just hurt me and my feelings.
‘It is completely wrong and disgusting, and this shouldn’t happen. I would like your support, and I would like you to report that page and get it shut down!’
