Influencers react to Indy Clinton’s private investigator reveal

One of Australia’s most well-known influencers has dropped a bombshell involving a private investigator and some of her most prolific alleged trolls.

One of Australia’s most well-known influencers says she has hired a private investigator to find her most prolific alleged trolls, sending her huge fan base into a tailspin.

Indy Clinton, 27, is an influencer known for documenting her life with her three children and is often trolled relentlessly.

However, Clinton was fed up with the alleged trolling and hired a private investigator to look into the biggest anonymous accounts, who she claims were giving her trouble in an attempt to uncover their identity and bring legal action.

Australians are able to sue online trolls when it comes to abusive messages and emails.

On Sunday, the mother-of-three posted a video of herself dancing in her kitchen after being handed a binder.

“How it feels receiving a 64 page report from my PI after an extensive three month investigation on all my ladies (mothers) who have continiously (sic) bullied, defamed and trolled me and my family for months and months and even years,” she said.

The internet lost their minds at the WAG-atha Christie-esque move, with several influencers praising the TikTok Creator of the Year 2023 winner.

Tarah Elizabeth, who documents her ADHD and pregnancy journey said a “huge thank you” to Clinton.”

“For so long, it’s felt like we just have to cop it. Like these people can say whatever they want, spread fake stories, push harmful narrative and fuel hate … all without consequences,” she said.

“But here the truth: you’re not above the law. You’re not protected from defamation. And you’re not truly anonymous behind your burner accounts (the ones they make after we block them).

“We block you, and you come back. It’s relentless. It’s damaging. And it’s enough.

“Thank you, Indy, for speaking up and starting this conversaton (sic). This culture of belittling, bullying and hiding behind your keyboads (sic) had gone way too far and it’s enough.”

Lucy Jackson called the move “iconic”, saying that the bullies were starting to get what was coming.

Brittney Saunders, a content creator and the woman behind FAYT the Label also congratulated Clinton. She claimed people like the accused are usually creator’s “number one fan”.

“This was always going to happen and I am glad she has come out and said, ‘Look out, I’ve got all of your information,” Saunders said.

“I’m all for influencers, content creators and celebrities being called out when they’re genuinely doing something wrong but people hiding behind faceless accounts or anonymous accounts and just relentlessly ripping on people that they don’t even know is just disgusting behaviour.”

She said relentlessly picking on how someone looks is not freedom of speech — it’s obsession.

Some people have questioned Clinton’s decision to hire the private investigator, with one person claiming she recently said she wasn’t bothered by trolls.

“Yeah, I actually do remember saying that — believe it or not — and I probably said it because I was collecting and collating all the information for my PI so I wanted to throw you off scent,” she said.

“Moving forward, online trolling and bullying is going to effect (sic) someone. We aren’t robots on here. We are actual human beings with emotions and real life families and hearts.”
