Emily Atack reveals she is bombarded with sexually 'aggressive' messages from men daily
Among the more sinister messages were frequent threats of rape and murder.
The comedian, who relies on social media as a platform for her job, said being told to turn it off was like being told to not walk home at night to avoid harassment. She admitted she still felt shame and sometimes blamed herself, saying “Is it because I posed in a bikini? Is it because I get my cleavage out on Instagram and talk about my sex life on stage? Am I part of the problem?”
"It’s men wanting to silence a powerful, outspoken woman who is, in their head, trying to spoil their fun and kill the party for them."
