Charley Webb EXC: Emmerdale star won't give into trolls after those nasty comments about her kids – Daily Mail, Daily Mail


She welcomed her third child, a son, with husband Matthew Wolfenden a mere 9 weeks ago and as she puts it, is enjoying ‘being mum for a while’ during her maternity leave from Emmerdale.

Although reveling in life as a mum to her three boys; Buster, 9, Bowie, 3, and newborn Ace Gene, soap star Charley Webb recently had to endure nasty commentary from online trolls, who targeted her two eldest sons for their long hair.

Like any mother would, the 31 – year-old actress, who is fronting McDonald’s new Happy Readers campaign, rightly fired back and urged social media users to ‘keep your opinions to yourselves’ in a bid to silence the negative commentary.

Speaking up: Emmerdale star Charley Webb hit back at cruel trolls who target her children and insisted that she ‘doesn’t have time’ for the negativity

Now speaking to MailOnline, Charley says that she ‘doesn’t have time’ for the negativity and warns that people need to learn to treat others with kindness, most of all online.

Speaking of the unwarranted commentary, in which tasteless trolls claimed her older boys’ looked like girls’ due to their choice to have long hair, she said: ‘I just don’t have time for anyone like that.

‘I always find it so bizarre that anyone who is negative towards someone they don’t know, especially someone’s children that’s bizarre.

‘ I sort of think that people should think more about what they’re saying on social media, ‘she lamented. ‘I mean, kids are growing up with social media being apart of their lives and it terrifies me that people are taking their own lives just from someone sat behind a computer they never met.

‘I can’t ever imagine writing to somebody and being negative saying. “I don’t like the way you look”. It’s just not normal. ‘

Standing strong against online negativity, the soap star doesn’t want to give the topic too much heed and admitted she doesn’t’ care what they [the trolls] think ‘.

She continued: ‘I don’t tend to speak out much about it because part of me thinks when you do, you’re sort giving them what they want, giving them some sort of reaction. I’d rather not react.

‘However, some times things need to be said, “This isn’t OK” or whatever but I would say 90% of the time I just ignore it and think, “I’m not going to give you a reaction” because it’s so boring.

‘I’m definitely the strict one, ‘she admitted. ‘He’s the more laidback, the fun one. He’s very hands on as a dad and so involved with the kids. ‘
