Pamela Anderson went on a tear about our culture of online bullying — and called out Donald Trump as a large part of the problem.

The Baywatch alum, animal activist and Julian Assange supporter called social media “a playground for shamers” in a 10-tweet rant on Thursday morning. She wrote that it takes “no thought or time to hurt people” as they post their stinging comments from their basements, bathrooms, desks or train cars. What was once bullying on the playground is now “multiplied by thousands.”

Anderson’s comments were generic in nature about unnamed bullies until three tweets in when she mentioned Trump. She wrote that the president has “definitely set a horrible example of self restraint.” She suggested Trump, whose wife’s platform is to end online bullying (“Be Best”), try “thinking before reacting.”

When it comes to her own trolls, Anderson wrote, “I prefer not to look” or fight back because it’s a “waste of energy to engage.”

“We all have imperfect lives, pasts, things were embarrassed of or want to remain private,” she wrote. And it’s “really nobody’s business what we do personally.” Just because some people are “public figures because of our work on Television and Film — art or activism” it doesn’t mean that there should be “a sick invasion of privacy.”

And the constant criticism of someone’s appearance “hurts,” the Playboy cover star wrote, adding, “Nobody can look good all the time.”

To conclude, Anderson mentioned Ariel Winter, the Modern Family actress whose new look at the ABC Upfronts on Wednesday generated a lot of buzz. Online commenters seemingly liked her new hair color, but thought she had work done on her face.

Anderson wrote, “We all try to do the best we can. Beauty is on the inside. And the only thing that is not beautiful is to be caddy, rude, jealous, knee jerk or bully someone.” It ended with, “Stay strong @arielwinter1.”

Here is Anderson’s full Twitter thread:

This social media world is a playground for shamers.

It takes no thought

or time

to hurt people.

People are “un-evolving” and less and less mature

to think about

or consider their swift and damaging remarks. — Pamela Anderson (@pamfoundation) May 16, 2019

The damage

is done in a typed message

in a private space - a bedroom, bathroom basement, desk or train- who knows?

and

It takes only seconds

- the bully on the playground is multiplied by thousands-

There is little privacy -

no parenting-

no teaching in this area. — Pamela Anderson (@pamfoundation) May 16, 2019

let’s find solutions.



It goes as far as the President of the United States.

He’s definitely set a horrible example of self restraint -

counting to 10 -

taking a breath.

Thinking before reacting. ? — Pamela Anderson (@pamfoundation) May 16, 2019

Usually when someone reacts strongly -you’ve struck a nerve.-

and our relationships and projections

are mirrors of each other.

It’s self hatred.

Not to take personally.

But it’s hard -

I know. — Pamela Anderson (@pamfoundation) May 16, 2019

While we all read our comments and are happy when we receive praise and devastated when someone is mean. And we want to defend ourselves.

It’s a waste of energy to engage - it would be a full time job - — Pamela Anderson (@pamfoundation) May 16, 2019

Unfortunately

when you are in public eye

you are going to have people judge

your every move...

it’s quite a science to stay

out of this

and usually involves expensive publicists. — Pamela Anderson (@pamfoundation) May 16, 2019

I prefer not to look. But I’ve learned that then (even back then)

- your image

can get away from you.

It can negatively effect your career. Nobody is a cartoon character.

We all have imperfect lives, pasts,

things were embarrassed of

or want to remain private. — Pamela Anderson (@pamfoundation) May 16, 2019

Even a bad photo -

can be manipulated

and commented on -

this hurts.
