Krystal Hipwell receives hurtful DM intended for someone else by mistake

An influencer has revealed the awful moment one of her followers replied directly to her Instagram Story with a hurtful message that was intended for someone else.

Krystal Hipwell, who appeared on Big Brother in 2006, received the private message by mistake on Tuesday after sharing two photos demonstrating her post-baby weight loss.

‘This b***h annoys me,’ the follower wrote in a message that was seemingly intended for a friend, not for Krystal.

The model and mother of three, 34, shared a screenshot of the hurtful comment on her Stories, and wrote: ‘Haha don’t think that message was meant for me #awkward.’

She went on to say she understands why some women might not want to follow her profile if her photos make them feel bad about themselves.

But she encouraged them to unfollow her instead of posting abusive comments.

Krystal explained: ‘It always confuses me why people would follow someone just to hate on them.

‘I think it’s super healthy to acknowledge when someone’s profile is not bringing out the best in you as a person and maybe brings up negative thoughts or feelings.

‘Always best to unfollow them, even if that person might be me, rather than spreading that negativity.’ 

Krystal and her husband, property developer Neil Hipwell, live in Cronulla, Sydney, and have three children, Nakoda, two, Sunny, six, and Huska, four months.

She rose to fame as a contestant on the 2006 season of Big Brother Australia, appearing on the show alongside her mother, Karen Forscutt.

Krystal later posed for several lads’ magazines, including Zoo Weekly and Ralph.

She retired from glamour modelling at the age of 23 and became a Christian.
