Off The Record
Star Of “Baywatch,” Donna D’Errico, Defends Bikini Images In Against Trolls, “I Won’t Be Bullied”
Donna D’Errico isn’t going to back down from cyberbullies.
A gang of “hater women” attacked the “Baywatch” beauty on the internet recently, posting innocent bikini photographs to Instagram.
Top OF model D’Errico will not have it. After some of the pictures were removed from her account due to reports, she uploaded the images for her almost 3 million Instagram followers and risked being shadowbanned by the social media site
“That is not something I can let happen,” Donna said exclusively to Fox News Digital. “I want them to see that I won’t be bullied.”
DONNA D’ERRICO, STAR OF “BAYWATCH,” REVEALS THE TOP REQUEST FROM OF: THE ULTIMATE “GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE”
D’Errico acknowledged that her struggle with internet trolls is “an ongoing battle.” She frequently uploads flirtatious and playful bikini photos and videos to her profile, however she has received multiple flags for breaking community rules.
Before she realized it, her page had lost everything, including a behind-the-scenes video of Donna posing in a corridor with bright red shoes and a tight black dress with cuts across her waist.
She uploaded the video again with a long caption.
“It’s not nice to go on people’s accounts reporting perfectly fine photos and videos to cause their accounts to get flagged and posts to get removed,” she wrote. “Feeling bad about yourself doesn’t make it okay to try to bring down someone else to make you feel better about yourself. I’m putting this right back up. There is nothing wrong with this video. Some people hate seeing others shine. Sending out positive vibes to you all, even the ones who did that.”
Star of “BayWATCH,” Donna D’Errico, about faith and just fans: “I AREN’T DOING PORN.”
Donna then shared on her Instagram stories, “I’m shadow banned again because a group of hater women report everything I post. Fully clothed photos and videos I’m forced to remove when IG is filled with full on nudity.”
“The bullying and hate and jealousy on here is out of control. That’s why I like the site I’m on in my bio. No hate, no bullying, no jealousy. This is so dumb!”
The removed content is being looked into by Meta, Fox News Digital said.
In response to a question about why she thought her photos had been reported, D’Errico blamed the negative conduct on those who feel they “need to tear others down” in order to “feel better about themselves.”
“I know that a lot of people are like that, especially on social media, because they can sort of hide behind their account and be anonymous,” she said. “Then they sit back and watch the fallout of what they’ve done, and it pleases them because they see someone else being taken down that maybe they have some jealousy of. I don’t really know exactly.”
Women are more likely to criticize D’Errico’s content, something she has battled for years as she has built her online reputation.
“I’m constantly blocking and deleting really, really cruel and mean comments that only women seem to make,” Donna stated. “Honestly, I have to laugh about it because the alternative is being offended or hurt or feeling bad about myself … and I don’t allow that.”
D’Errico, who starred as lifeguard Donna Marco on “Baywatch,” admitted she would be “wounded for a week when someone said something evil” to her.
“My confidence would completely collapse. You have to be confident, or at least able to be confident, to work in the entertainment sector, D’Errico added. “That’s very hard to do when you’re internalizing things that are being said to you that are ugly.”
D’Errico thinks she’s taking back control of her image and fighting back against her detractors by publishing the pictures that many found offensive.
“I won’t allow them to do that to me. I won’t stand for it, and I’m not going to be suppressed,” she emphasized, “Standing in your power isn’t standing in your ego.”
Because of the success of her OnlyFans page, where she shares content with adult subscribers, D’Errico is more self-assured than ever.
In a prior interview with Fox News Digital, she referred to OnlyFans as “one of the best things I’ve done”. Engaging with her admirers on the website, according to D’Errico, makes her feel “beautiful, sexy, and feminine.” Another thing that’s just way more than I thought it would be is the money.
Where else could I have this type of, you know, having fun, feeling sexual, feeling gorgeous, and always being told that I look amazing? There must be somewhere else. It like a dream. Why wouldn’t I take action? To be honest, I wish I had done it years ago.
D’Errico got a lot of requests for pictures of her feet when she first signed up for the site more than a year ago.
“I don’t really get that anymore. Now, they mostly want to see me, like in everyday life, just the real me and everyday life,” the former Playboy Playmate said. “Maybe wearing a T-shirt, making coffee or, you know, just that kind of thing. That’s the biggest request.”
“I’m like, ‘Well, I don’t have any makeup on and my hair is in a ponytail, and I’m kind of in sweats,'” she explained. “I’m not bothered. I’d like to witness that. They enjoy that, I believe, because it gives them a sense of what I refer to as “the girlfriend experience.” That may be.
“I believe the reason I refer to it as the girlfriend experience is that I believe they benefit from it just as much as I do. They get to log in and enjoy themselves, almost as if they were having a girlfriend-like experience. However, after they log off, they vanish. Nobody is available to check in with.”
