AceShowbiz - In a lengthy Instagram statement, actress Bianca Wallace has revealed the devastating impact of online bullying after her Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis was made public. After going public with her romance with Ioan Gruffudd in 2021, Wallace faced a barrage of hate messages from trolls.
Wallace, who is from Brisbane, Australia, received hundreds of vicious comments wishing her physical harm and expressing shame towards her family. The diagnosis, which affects the brain and spinal cord, can cause a range of symptoms from mild to severe.
In her statement, Wallace emphasized the importance of empathy and the need to respect individuals' privacy. She urged people not to assume what others may be going through and condemned the spread of false information and rumors.
"We have to do better," Wallace wrote. "A chronic illness diagnosis is huge and it takes serious work to come to terms with."
The harassment Wallace experienced came after she was accused by Alice Evans of having affair with Alice's then-husband Gruffudd. "I received hundreds of messages of hate saying they hope the MS kills me, that I should kill myself, that my family should be ashamed to be linked to me…," she said.
Despite the negativity she has faced, Wallace remains optimistic. She emphasized the importance of self-acceptance and perseverance in the face of adversity.
