JUDY HAS SUFFERED ONE OF THE WORST CAMPAIGNS OF SOCIAL MEDIA BULLYING
If I were to assess the treatment of Judy Austin against the history of social media harassment, I would have little hesitation in describing what she has endured as one of the most vicious and sustained campaigns of online bullying I have ever witnessed.
And I must say this again: May Yul-Edochie bears a significant moral responsibility for what has happened to Judy.
As the attached screenshot shows, some of those engaging in these attacks openly identify themselves as members of May Nation, a movement publicly associated with May and her supporters.
For nearly five years, Judy has been subjected to relentless insults, humiliation, damaging allegations, and attacks on her personal life, family, and business. Those perceived as supporting Judy have also become targets.
There seems to be no limit to the stories circulated against Judy. The latest allegation is that she had a child with someone identified as Chike. I consider this allegation false and malicious. Those circulating it should be challenged to produce credible evidence rather than using unverified claims to sustain public hostility.
At what point does this cruelty end? And who has the influence to stop it?
I believe May has a unique responsibility to speak out against harassment carried out in her name. She may not personally direct every action of her supporters, but she cannot reasonably ignore the conduct of those who openly claim to be defending her.
A clear, unequivocal public condemnation from May could go a long way toward ending this hostility. Her continued silence raises legitimate suspicion that she is actively discouraging it.
But one thing is certain: You may deceive some people for some time, but you cannot deceive everyone forever.
I believe more people are beginning to question the narratives that have fueled hostility toward Judy. As additional facts emerge, public opinion may change significantly.
Those who once condemned Judy without hearing her side may eventually recognize the injustice of their actions.
And that is where May should be concerned. Public sympathy is not permanent. A movement built around hostility toward another woman risks eventually damaging the reputation of the very person it claims to defend.
I do not wish to see May subjected to the same cruelty Judy has endured.
The objective should be to end the bullying, not to reverse its direction.
If May is wise, she will use her influence now to discourage further attacks, insist on truth and civility, and help bring this destructive hostility to an end.
The longer this continues, the greater the damage to everyone involved, especially May.
