Celebrities rallied behind the call to stop any form of cyberbullying. Spearheaded by celebrity stylist Liz Uy, actors and actresses posted the #StopTheHate campaign.
Liz filed an P11 million lawsuit against FashionPulis blogger Michael Sy Lim.
On her Instagram account, Liz posted a photo message of #StopTheHate with the following caption:
“As a former fashion editor, I was trained to uphold FAIR and RESPONSIBLE journalism at all times. When I transitioned into celebrity styling and accidentally became a public figure myself, I learned to embrace that being scrutinized by the public is part and parcel of that position.
However, sometimes things can be taken too far and place me in a bad light, discrediting my hard work, my team, and my styling company. I am not the first victim—many others have chosen to remain silent. I could have done the same, but in the end, I realized that if we always let him get away with cyber bullying, then he will continue to propagate untruthful claims and malicious gossip on his blog and social media accounts.
Thank you to everyone who has expressed their support. I am fighting this battle not just for myself, but for every single person—celebrity and otherwise—who has been bashed relentlessly and unfairly. #StopTheHate”
