A teeny tiny glimpse into the craziest, not-so-nice parts of being famous. Lucky these women have senses of humour.
We’ve been secretly filming with some of our favourite Australian celebrities. In the backs of their cars. Just outside live TV studios. On leather sofas right in the middle of busy reception areas. Wherever we could grab these crazy-busy women for a very fast, very brutal video series.
Women are subjected to a particularly vicious, gendered abuse online.
Today, we want to say: That’s not OK. It’s never OK.
Share this video if you too have had enough. And let’s talk about it – join the conversation using the #tweetsaboutwomen hashtag. Let’s take this global.
COMING SOON: The second instalment of Famous Women Reading Tweets About Themselves, starring a whole new group of Australian celebrities.

I can't, I just can't that was just horrible. I will never ever understand people. All those women are wonderful and shouldn't be subjected to that kind of abuse. Rosie Waterland is beautiful, she should know it.
What I don't understand is how Facebook can seemingly manage on-line trolls so easily but twitter can't? Aren't there more FB users than Twitter users? Death threats and threats of violence are illegal. Why are Governments not cracking down on YouTube and Twitter to ensure the users are protected?
Facebook can't/don't manage online trolls easily, there are numerous pages out there spewing hatred, bullying and belittling people, and advocating violence, but when reported, come back with "They weren't violating our T&C's"...it really is ridiculous.
The people who do this are immature, cowardly, and know that the likelihood of them being caught is minimal, hence why they do it.
