💨 Abstract

Kirsty Paterson, who played an Oompa Loompa at the failed Willy Wonka Chocolate Experience in Glasgow, has faced relentless trolling since a photo of her went viral. Despite gaining global publicity and acting opportunities, she receives hateful comments about her appearance, including comparisons to an old woman and meth addict. The constant criticism has made dating difficult and affected her mental health. Paterson highlights the global scale of cyberbullying experienced by those who become viral memes.
