In the special show: “Malice, agitation, hate – the daily attack from the Internet”, women and men tell how they had to deal with hate in social networks. Insults and hate messages were the order of the day. On the show, they talk about this experience and what it triggered in them. But celebrities also have to deal with nasty hostility from users on a daily basis. Cathy Hummels is one of them. She also reports on what she has to be accused of every day.

RTL gave the moderator the chance to visit her hater personally and confront her – because they found out her address.

You are mentally ill. Put your cell phone down and let yourself be instructed, “it said. But the young mother continues, commenting again: “Let yourself be instructed, that’s no longer funny!”. To give the hatred a face, the 33-year-old travels to a city in Hesse with RTL reporter Pia Osterhaus.
