'I won't be bullied': 'Baywatch' Star Donna D'Errico claps back at online trolls over bikini photos

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Donna D'Errico, known for her role in 'Baywatch' and as a prominent OnlyFans model, is making headlines for her bold stance against online harassment.

Recently targeted by a group of online detractors, D'Errico faced backlash for sharing harmless bikini photos on Instagram. Despite being reported multiple times and having some of her content removed, D'Errico refused to be silenced.

"I can't allow that to happen," Donna asserted in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital. "I want them to see that I won't be bullied."

D'Errico described her ongoing battle against online critics, who repeatedly flagged her bikini pics and videos for allegedly violating community guidelines.

In response to the removal of her content, including a behind-the-scenes video from a photo shoot, D'Errico reposted the material with a defiant caption. She called out the individuals responsible for targeting her account and expressed resilience in the face of adversity.

Moreover, D'Errico took to her Instagram stories to address the situation saying, "It's not nice to go on people's accounts reporting perfectly fine photos and videos to cause their account to get flagged and posts to get removed," she wrote. "Feeling bad about yourself doesn't make it okay to try to bring down someone else to make you feel better about yourself. I'm putting this right back up. Nothing wrong with this video. Some people hate seeing others shine. Sending out positive vibes to you all, even the ones who did that." 

Donna then shared on her Instagram stories, "I'm shadow banned again because a group of hater women report everything I post. Fully clothed photos and videos I'm forced to remove when IG is filled with full on nudity. "The bullying and hate and jealousy on here is out of control. That's why I like the site I'm on in my bio. No hate, no bullying, no jealousy. This is so dumb!"

Donna D'Errico speaks out against online criticism

Reflecting on the nature of online harassment, D'Errico attributes much of it to individuals who seek to tear others down to elevate themselves. She acknowledges the anonymity afforded by social media platforms, allowing perpetrators to hide behind their accounts while inflicting harm on others.

"I know that a lot of people are like that, especially on social media, because they can sort of hide behind their account and be anonymous," she said. "Then they sit back and watch the fallout of what they've done, and it pleases them because they see someone else being taken down that maybe they have some jealousy of. I don't know exactly."

D'Errico notes that the majority of critical comments come from women.

"My self-confidence would plummet. In the entertainment industry, you've got to have confidence or at least be able to be confident," D'Errico said. "That's very hard to do when you're internalizing things that are being said to you that are ugly."

D'Errico believes she's fighting back against her haters and taking control of her image. "I won't allow them to do that to me. I won't stand for it, and I'm not going to be suppressed," she emphasized, "Standing in your power isn't standing in your ego."

D'Errico has found newfound confidence and empowerment through her OnlyFans platform. Engaging with her fans in a supportive environment has helped her feel feminine, beautiful, and sexy, while also providing unexpected financial success.

She credited OnlyFans as "one of the best things I've done" in a previous interview with Fox News Digital. D’Errico said engaging with her fans on the site makes her feel "feminine and beautiful and sexy. The money is another aspect that, it's just way more than I anticipated that it would be.
