Indy Clinton has turned to a private investigator to identify the internet trolls that bully her online.
The TikTok star, 27, who recently copped severe backlash following her rhinoplasty surgery, has hired professionals to look into who has been 'trolling', 'harassing' and 'defaming' her over the years.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the mum-of-three revealed that the cyberbullies had been identified and she was ready to take action to hold them accountable.
'Some of the defamatory things which have been said about me in recent years are extremely distressing,' she began.
She went on to express her frustration over the issue, saying that if the social media platforms couldn't make a change, she would.

'I will use my platform and my voice to not only spread awareness but to make an impact,' she shared.
The social media star then made a harrowing confession about the toll cyberbullying had on people including herself.
'Lives are being taken,' she said, adding: 'For me - a few months ago - what I endured was life or death.'
In May, Indy revealed that she was taking serious measures to bring some of the hurtful trolls who have bullied her to account.
The influencer hosted a Question and Answer session with fans on social media and was asked by one, 'Are you doing better? The hate you get online is so unnecessary.'
Indy answered that she was working hard to make some of the hurtful trolls who have bullied her responsible for their actions.
'The anonymous accounts and the faceless people hiding behind them need to be held accountable,' she said.
It comes after Indy hit back at trolls that likened her to Michael Jackson following a cosmetic procedure on her nose.
The social media star had been criticised for covering her face, like the late pop star, and not showing the aftermath of the surgery in April.
'I have a lot of swelling obviously on the outside, but also internally which is making my nostrils look uneven,' she said.
'It's going down everyday,' she said of the swelling, adding it was 'so much worse' and she's been sleeping with little splints in her nostrils to help the healing.
Speaking of her time in the cast, she said it was the 'longest twelve days of her life' but she was happy with her 'super natural' results.
Indy posted a video of herself wearing a bandage on her nose as she sat drinking a smoothie in her garden and responded to a comment which read: 'Ok weird - MJ vibes now.'
She finished by saying her followers could either support her or leave because she had no time for haters.
'I am changing in real time and you have an insight into my life. You can either stay on the ride or get the f**k away. I don't want to hear from you if you don't like it, because I do. I am growing,' she said.
Indy, who is known for her real-life content and raw portrayal of motherhood on social media, clapped back in the post.
'Just because I'm transparent doesn't mean I need to show myself with bruised eyes, a swollen face, blood crusted stitches and my greasy hair,' she said.
