Cheryl, 32, has repeatedly hit out at body shamers this year – but one Twitter user seriously crossed the line at the weekend when they tweeted US reality star Hulk Hogan a picture of The X Factor judge.
Alongside a screen grab of Cheryl, the post to 62-year-old Hulk read: “Hi @HulkHogan my sister is HIV positive can she have a RT please [sic].”
Clearly unaware of the horrible truth, Hulk reposted the message and added: “Tons of love and positive prayers for your sis, Gods got her, everything will be good Only love HH [sic].”
Hulk’s followers quickly pointed out that the woman in the picture was actually Cheryl, and he tweeted his frustration over the troll’s actions.
He wrote: “Why do so many people on Twitter get so wack, it’s really sad, I just don’t know who to respond to anymore, I’m out HH [sic].”
Another cruel picture of Cheryl from the Text Santa campaign appeared online at the weekend, with the message: “Please donate £2 to feed Cheryl this Christmas [sic].”
This isn’t the first time Hulk has fallen victim to sick online trolls. He was once tricked into sharing a picture of Madeline McCann with the message: ‘Hide and seek champion’.
Cheryl has yet to respond to the disgusting taunts.
