A wave of disturbing threats has forced actress Georgia Tennant to involve the police. The chilling messages, received on social media, represent a stark escalation of online harassment she’s been enduring.
Tennant, known for roles in popular series like *The Bill*, *Doctor Who*, and *Merlin*, has become a target alongside her husband, actor David Tennant. Their outspoken advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community, particularly trans rights, appears to be fueling the hateful attacks.
Screenshots shared by Tennant reveal the venomous nature of the abuse. Messages demanded she “go back to the street where you belong” and chillingly wished for her death, exposing a disturbing level of online vitriol.
The threats aren’t isolated incidents. In September, Tennant publicly challenged Facebook after a user posted a reward offer for anyone who would harm her. The platform initially deemed the post did not violate its community standards, a decision Tennant fiercely questioned.
Further investigation revealed a pattern of menacing comments from the same account. These included ominous predictions of her death and disturbing declarations about a supposed connection with David Tennant, revealing a deeply unsettling obsession.
The Tennants are parents to five children, including a child who identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. The couple has consistently demonstrated their support for their child and the wider trans community, both publicly and privately.
Their commitment to inclusivity is visible in their actions. From wearing rainbow colors for Pride to David Tennant’s powerful t-shirt statement – “Leave trans kids alone, you absolute freaks” – they’ve consistently used their platform to champion trans rights.
Georgia Tennant’s recent actions, tagging the Metropolitan Police and sharing evidence of the threats, underscore the seriousness of the situation. She is seeking accountability and protection from the escalating online harassment.
The case highlights the dark side of social media and the urgent need for platforms to address harmful content and protect individuals from targeted abuse. It’s a stark reminder of the real-world consequences of online hate.
