Abstract
My research team and I recently set out to understand the forces behind celebrity Twitter abuse. Our experiments found that people victim-blame celebrities for the abuse they suffer on Twitter. This finding suggests that people struggle to empathise with abused celebrities, which may affect the level of harassment the rich and famous experience online.
