Kerry Katona is sharing the same sentiment after Louis Tomlinson was forced to quit X after receiving hurtful comments. In her latest column for New!, kerry opened up about removing 'yourself from the situation' when it came to rumours of her being on drugs.
‌
'I saw that Louis Tomlinson decided to quit X after receiving some hurtful comments, which I think is awful,' she says. 'People can be so cruel for no reason and it's a real shame. I get abuse and negative comments all of the time on Instagram.'
‌
'Every time I have hayfever and sniff, people accuse me of being on drugs – it's exhausting. If I was Louis, I wouldn't have let the trolls win by coming off X – I think it makes more of a statement to show it doesn't bother you. But I do understand it's hard and, sometimes, removing yourself from the situation is the best thing you can do,' she continued.
‌
Former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson revealed why he's been absent from X/ Twitter as he slammed those prying into his life. The 33-year-old star has been dating Love Island's Zara McDermott for several months, with the two last spotted enjoying the sunshine at Glastonbury Festival.
According to a deflated Louis, many have been sharing 'conspiracy' theories about his romance with Zara - who previously dated former Made In Chelsea's Sam Thompson for five years. Taking to his X page, he wrote: "The last few months have made it impossible to be on here. "
‌
He went on to say there were offensive comments made about his son Freddie, eight, who he shares with ex Brianna Jungwirth. Some also posted opinions about his late mother Johanna Deakin, who died in 2016.
"All the conspiracy chat about my relationship, my son or even stretching sometimes to opinions on my Mum," Louis said. "It's just too much and too hurtful for me to see! Thank you to everyone who always has my back!"
Before the tweet, he last posted on July 8, writing: "So excited to be back on stage tomorrow. Feels like a while! Who's coming?!!" His most recent Instagram post was a slew of snaps from his time at Worthy Farm with pals and Zara.

In 2021, Kerry said that her cocaine addiction at its height came dangerously close to costing her life. The former Atomic Kitten singer spoke out on social media in order to help others when life is becoming difficult and has shown what happens if you don't reach out for help when needed.
Kerry has admitted that she has almost died twice due to the binges she would go on and she has spoken about her feelings when she experienced those near-death moments.
‌
Speaking to new! Magazine at the time, the reality star said: "The amount of coke I was once doing, I literally died.
"I remember coming back [from the brink of death] with these beautiful figures around me and I felt so much love - that happened to me twice.
'I'd stopped breathing. So I know I have angels looking out for me. You can knock me down but you can't keep me down.'
