A Fox News contributor for the comedy show "Red Eye" is the subject of Internet aggression this week after mocking "Star Wars" fans during a taping of the show last month.

Katherine Timpf, self-proclaimed as uninterested in the series, has been receiving numerous emails and tweets threatening her with physical harm and an "onslaught."

"I have never had any interest in watching space nerds poke each other with their little space nerd sticks, and I'm not going to start now. You people are crazy. You Star Wars people are crazy," she said on the show. "Yesterday I tweeted something, and all I said was that I wasn't familiar with Star Wars because I've been too busy liking cool things and being attractive — people threatened my life."

Following the aggressive responses, Timpf wrote a piece for the National Review chronicling the harassing emails and tweets directed at her.

Telling me you hope I die of the disease that killed my mom while I'm missing her over the holidays is so kind pic.twitter.com/SXxrhOb673 — Katherine Timpf (@KatTimpf) November 25, 2015

But despite the attacks, Timpf is sticking to her guns.

"I'm sick of oversensitive mobs in our overly sensitive society bullying people into saying that they're sorry over jokes — even if the subject of the joke is something as serious as Star Wars," she wrote. So, for that reason, I will not apologize."
