Haters are going to hate and troll, but there is a thin line that one should not cross. Online bullying and threatening are not cool, and it is high time people must stop doing it. And we have strong persons such as Whitney Cummings who knows extremely well on how to shut trolls online. In April this year, the American stand-up comedian posted her photo on her Instagram story, which “accidentally” showed her bare nipple. However, some people who took screenshots began to threaten and extort money over her nip-slip. But the fearless 36-year-old hit them back, by posting a screenshot of the topless photo of herself. Her bold move is winning hearts online, and Twitterati joins in support. But sadly, with "hairy balls," that the comedian is tired of getting.

“In April I accidentally posted an insta story that showed nipple. Once I realized, I deleted. The people who took screen grabs are trying to get money from me, some said they have offers to sell them, some are asking for money to not post the photo,” Cummings tweeted.
Here's the Tweet:

The comedian further said that if she wanted, she could have easily revealed the identities of those attempting to extort money from her. But she chose not to do it.
Here's What She Has to Say
I'm not posting the names of the people trying to extort me because some of them might be dumb kids. I wouldn't want the stupid ideas I had when I was a teenager to follow me around forever or else every time someone Googled me, they'd see me shoplifting a NO FEAR t-shirt. .

Cummings had an important message to share.
When a woman in the public eye is extorted, we have to spend time, money and energy dealing with it, hiring lawyers and security experts, and living with a pit in our stomach about when and how we will be humiliated. Y’all can have my nipple, but not my time or money anymore.

Sadly, online harassment has not stopped.
Now I'm getting threatened with "we have access to your iCloud." I'll be honest, I stand by most of my nudes. Frankly I'm way more embarrassed by all the inspirational quotes I've screen grabbed.

And some began to share pictures of their "hairy balls" which worsens the matter.
Thank you everyone who sent me embarrassing pictures of yourselves to make me feel better about my embarrassing photo. It means the world to me, but I wouldn't freak out if you stopped sending me photos of your hairy balls.

As her series of tweets went viral, her followers on Twitter showed immense support. Twitterati even began to use the hashtag #IStandWithWhitney by posting their own ‘embarrassing’ photos.
