Heartbreak High star Chloe Hayden reveals ‘devastating reason’ for quitting social media
Heartbreak High star Chloe Hayden has announced she is quitting social media after receiving death threats online.
The Australian actress, 26, told her Instagram followers on Sunday that her management will now monitor her social accounts.
“Due to recent events, my team will be managing and monitoring all of my social accounts going forward,” she began.
‘Every day for the past year I have been inundated with dozens of death threats, detailed suicide instructions and horrific, elaborate abuse.’
She continued: ‘It is inescapable and has a major impact on my mental and physical well-being.’

Chloe went on to say, “Her team will monitor and report all hate speech and threatening language to federal authorities.”
“It is vital that you all know that this behavior will not be tolerated. “I am aware that several of you have received similar messages, and I urge you to do the same,” she added.
Chloe said her platform has always been “welcoming, safe and an open haven,” but these “values are not currently on display.”
“My connection and communication with all of you is something that I have always found so special, and that I so deeply cherish and value; but it’s something we don’t have the privilege of doing right now,” she continued.
“I hope we can get back to that, but for now it’s critical that I take these steps to keep my community and myself safe.”

Chloe has become one of Australia’s brightest rising stars and has even started her own podcast ‘Boldly Me’ on Nova.
She also has a book titled ‘Different, Not Less’ and has worked tirelessly to promote inclusivity and diversity.
The star made headlines in February after she was denied access to the sensory room at Marvel Stadium during the Harry Styles concert in February.
Chloe said on social media at the time: “I have spoken to the CEO of Marvel Stadium and we have discussed ways forward.
‘A second sensory room is being built and they have committed to retraining their staff. I intend to hold them accountable for both.
“Never say that raising your voice is pointless.”
