Olivia Attwood SLAMS influencers who post ‘be kind’ quote to avoid accountability of their actions

Olivia Attwood has hit out at influencers who have posted the quote ‘in a world where you can be anything, be kind’ to avoid accountability of their actions.

The Love Island star, 29, said she can understand how followers can get frustrated as she took to Instagram on Sunday.  

During a Q and A, one follower asked: ‘How do you feel about influencers just using ‘be kind’ to avoid accountability?’  

In recent months, influencers have come under fire for jetting abroad during the pandemic, and when their faced with the backlash of flaunting their sun-soaked trip during lockdown on Instagram, have churned out the ‘be kind’ saying.  

Olivia said: ‘It’s a really interesting and I don’t disagree why people think they see influencers doing that. I have grown actually tired of that whole saying now.’

She added in the caption: ‘It’s a really interesting conversation, I’m so brain dead today I can’t even go there. But deffo one I’ll come back to another day. 

‘There is a line isn’t there between ‘questioning someone’s actions’ and ‘abusing someone online’ (sic).

Last month, Olivia criticised her reality star and influencer pals, who remain in Dubai, for claiming they are ‘working abroad’ amid the coronavirus crisis.   

Addressing the furore over her comments later in the week, Olivia insisted that she doesn’t want to encourage any ‘hurtful behaviour’. 

In an interview with Grazia, the reality TV star said that the one way fuming fans can hit back the hardest is by unfollowing the offending parties. 

She said: ‘The way to hurt people is silence because actually, when you are commenting on someone’s photo, even if it’s a bad negative comment, you’re still drumming up interaction on that post.

”[I}f you’re going to send out to a brand that 5000 people have unfollowed you this week, it doesn’t look good, does it? So yeah, it makes a big difference.’  

Olivia also spoke about the last time she saw Caroline Flack, as she reflected one year on from the Love Island host’s tragic date.  

She said: ‘I don’t remember the date but we had gone for drinks and we were laughing and dancing.’

The television personality was also quizzed on if she thought social media had improved following Caroline’s death. 

Olivia said: ‘ If you’re talking in regard to trolling,  ‘be kind’, cancel culture if anything it’s worse than it was.

‘I think people online giving their unsolicited advice and opinions are at an all time high.’
