Heartbreak High star Chloe Hayden has announced she is quitting social media after receiving death threats online.
The 26-year-old Australian actress told her Instagram followers on Sunday that her management would now be monitoring her social accounts.
“Due to recent events, my team will be managing and monitoring all of my social accounts,” she began.
“Over the past year, I have been inundated every day with dozens of death threats, detailed incitements to suicide, and horrific and complex abuse.”
She continued: “It’s unavoidable and it profoundly affects my mental and physical well-being.”

Chloe went on to say that her “team will monitor and report all hate speech and threatening comments to federal authorities.”
“It is vital that you all know that this behavior is not tolerated. I know many of you have received similar messages and I invite you to do the same,” she added.
Chloe said her platform has always been “welcoming, safe and an open haven,” but that those “values are not on display at the moment.”
“My connection and communication with all of you is something that I have always found so special, and that I cherish and value so deeply; but it’s something we don’t have the privilege of doing right now,” she continued.
“I hope we can get back to that, but for now, in order to keep me and myself safe, it is vital for me to take these steps.”

Chloe has become one of Australia’s brightest rising stars after even watching her own podcast ‘Boldly Me’ on Nova.
She also published a book called “Different, Not Less” and worked tirelessly to promote inclusion and diversity.
The star made headlines in February after being denied access to the sensory room at Marvel Stadium during Harry Styles’ concert in February.
Taking to social media at the time, Chloe said: “I spoke with the CEO of Marvel Stadium and we discussed the next steps.
“A second sensory room is being built and they are committed to retraining their staff. I intend to hold them accountable for both.
“Never say that raising your voice is futile.”
