This! Why anyone would say untrue, nasty things about a celebrity (non-celebrity) is beyond me. It changes nothing and only makes the person who writes that seems bitter.
Yes, and bitter doesn't even begin to cover it, there are some very disturbed places on the Internet with people churning out hateful untrue things about Alicia (and Michael) on a daily basis. Some of them contribute here too as you may have noticed.
I agree, it's hard to understand why they do it. People who see Alicia and Michael together see a normal happy couple, they describe them as a lovely couple and how affectionate and loved up they are together. It's also clear they try to spend as much time together as they can, making time for each other and their relationship between work commitments. They've been together nearly a year now so must have worked it out right!
I think there is a very thin/light line, of course call someone ugly or bland is not what I mean.
IMO it´s wrong to say that saying anything bad about anyone online NEVER is cyberbullying:
to bully online by sending or posting mean messages, usually anonymously:
I assume that you mean IF the messages are posted on open forums and not directly to the person it is not cyberbullying.
We don´t need to agree about this and we don´t need to call it cyberbullying, IMO it´s enough to say that the comments about AV have gone wild.
That she is cold, ugly bland and a whore are the kind things, I don´t want to repeat the other things.
I have followed AVs career a few years and I was happy for her when she got roles abroad but I never thought that if she meet a known person and start a relationsship this should happen.
If you think we in her thread are the absolute worst I suggest you look around MF stans, they that say they like him and call themselves his fans but IF he continues with AV he is out.......
It may be mean, but it's not DEFAMATORY nor is it CYBERBULLYING. These words have serious legal ramifications, they are not synonyms for "mean".
And adding the actual definition of cyberbullying:
Cyberbullying is an action of harming or harassing via information technology networks in a repeated and deliberate manner. According to U.S. Legal Definitions, "cyber-bullying could be limited to posting rumors or gossips about a person in the internet bringing about hatred in others minds; or it may go to the extent of personally identifying victims and publishing materials severely defaming and humiliating them".
The key is the bolded. To go from free speech (because yeah, that's still a thing, and criticism, gossip, etc falls under it) to bullying, it must be intentionally done to harm. Nothing posted on Purseforum Celebrity News & Gossip is harming this chick, and anyone who tries to equate that it is just sounds hysterical and out of touch with reality. Sorry.

"Defamation
Any intentional false communication, either written or spoken, that harms a person's reputation; decreases the respect, regard, or confidence in which a person is held; or induces disparaging, hostile, or disagreeable opinions or feelings against a person.
Defamation may be a criminal or civil charge. It encompasses both written statements, known as libel, and spoken statements, called slander."
Notwithstanding the fact that the poison being written about Alicia and Michael is untrue, cruel and frankly, in many cases, disturbed and alarming. And from so-called fans of his too. Very sad.
I think her stans that I've seen all over the Internet are the absolute worst, right up there with Hiddleston's.
But just to point out, this isn't a "fan" thread! This isn't a "fan" forum, it's a place for news & gossip. Lol.
I think you dismiss the kind of power these kinds of forums have. If it were just some small gossip forum no one pays attention to none of the big tabloids would care enough to go and claim their picture rights. But they do!
And furthermore do other people involved with the film industry read here such as publicists, producers (to determine possible bankability and demographics) and marketing people. So to continuously claim she gets jobs through other than her talent IS harming.
And go away with your freedom of speech argument. If that were truly working you guys in the US could swear on television without getting beeped (same goes for this forum).

Totally agree! I'd like to see how the haters defended their hateful lies about her in a court of law - maybe they'd try citing "freedom of speech", like to see where that would get them! And to have the gall to claim the lies are not defamatory!
And yes, the stuff written in fan forums and gossip blogs is not exclusively for the members of these sites to read either. Apart from the groups you mentioned who may actively run searches on either Michael or Alicia, Google alerts on Michael return entries from this and other forums practically every day.
Once someone chooses to be a public figure and sell their art/body of work, they open themselves up to praise and criticism. Therefore the public has a right to hold, voice their opinion of her and/or choose to not pay to see her films (Man from Uncle box office flop). To do otherwise is censorship. It's like telling someone they can't write bad reviews about poor service or products online. Maybe AV and her team need to take into account their actions and make some adjustments moving forward.
No one says you can't do this. I too choose not to watch Tom Cruise's movie. It's a personal choice. One can criticise and speak their opinion as much as they like. It's a different thing when you produce statements that are for sure false as long as there's no evidence. Maybe it's not always her team's fault but the attitude of the people looking on.

But there is a world of difference between praising or criticising a public person's body of work and defaming their character! You must realise this. To publicly state lies about a person's life and character is defamation, no two ways about it!
Alicia choose to work as an actress, therefore the rest of us have the right to call her a whore and make up stories about her sleeping with people for parts. Can't argue with that logic.
Fans of Michael's don't have enough fate in him to surround himself with decent people, calls his girlfriend a whore and hopes for his movies to flop to "teach him a lesson" and Alicia's fans are the worst.. Ok. [emoji106]
Keep on fighting for your rights to spread vicious lies and insult other women.

Lmaooo i know some of his stans are deranged but this is a brand new level
if his movies flop, then what lesson will he learn that has anything to do with her? Oh man, wishing bad things to your favorite just because you dissaprove of his girlfriend.. 
Whatever though, it's hilarious 
I also saw some people cheering over the fact that he kept his hand in his pocket while she linked her hand through his arm (apparently it means he's not into her, he wants to get away from her, they're having major problems and they're gonna break up reaaally soon) , seriously though, it's like they've never seen a couple walking arm in arm before 😂

Haha, the haters are SO desperate for them to break up, they are clutching at straws, twisting every photo and scenario. Must be miserable being one of them, half conning yourself it's all a showmance, deluding yourself they have split and just when you start to relax....bang! More evidence they are still very much together and a real couple.
As for their "analysis" of Michael having his hand in his pocket - just pathetic and laughable! Here are a few more well known couples walking together
Miserable faces, men with hands in pockets etc etc; yet they are all known to be happy couples! So much for the so called body language analysis, LOL!
