Katie Piper hits back at trolls over cruel comments after NTAs appearance

ca.news.yahoo.com —

Katie Piper, 42, revealed she received cruel online abuse after her National Television Awards appearance, saying trolls criticized her face and appearance in comments she shared on Instagram Thursday. Piper, an acid attack survivor, said she initially felt positive after Tuesday's event but woke to a barrage of hateful remarks following a red carpet interview. She admitted replying to the commenters, all women, questioning why they attacked another woman's looks. The comments, she argued, damage all women by reinforcing unrealistic beauty standards. Piper survived an acid attack in 2008, founded the Katie Piper Foundation for burn survivors, and received an OBE in 2021.
