Lauryn Goodmanhas become the victim of a hate campaign, which has seen trolls accuse the model of not feeding her children properly and mistreating Kairo and Kinara
Lauryn Goodman “felt sick” after discovering trolls had doctored a cute photograph of her children – pasting the NSPCC logo on it and plastering it online.
The slurs even accused Lauryn of failing to feed little Kairo and Kinara properly, allegations which left the model disgusted. The picture, complete with the NSPCC logo and the charity’s phone number, ended up on notorious gossip website Tattle Life.
It is one of the latest episodes amid a vile hate campaign Lauryn has faced since the story broke of her having had two children with married England footballer Kyle Walker. However, as Lauryn has been lauded for her work on social media, on which she helps other parents, and even styles herself as “a mumfluencer,” the decision to share this particular image hit the woman especially hard.
The mum of two said: “I couldn’t eat, I felt sick and I was filled with anxiety. I got heart palpitations. I felt like I was having a panic attack… They said that Kairo and Kinara were being neglected and treated badly. They even said that I wasn’t feeding my children properly and there were just no repercussions. It was disgusting and so horrible about them.”

The edited image appeared on Tattle Life alongside a giggling emoji. The anonymous troll, who Lauryn has described as a “keyboard warrior”, had written: “It’s one edit away from an NSPCC advert.”
Tattle Life has gripped more than 12 million unique users every month since it was founded eight years ago and became infamous for its savage attacks on influencers and celebrities. The site claims to allow “commentary and critiques” of people who “choose to monetise their personal life,” but members of the public are allowed to post anonymously about anyone they want – saying anything they like, no matter how damaging.
Victoria and David Beckham, TV presenter Stacey Solomon and Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague have also been victims of the keyboard warriors.
But this week, founder Sebastian Bond, who had remained anonymous since the launch of the site, was finally unmasked. He went to some lengths to hide his identity and connection to the site, using different names and disguising his operations behind businesses based in locations across the world.
It is reported tech entrepreneur Neil Sands and his wife Donna, who runs a popular clothing brand called Sylkie and is a fashion influencer with 26,000 Instagram followers, were awarded the damages for defamation and harassment after a court heard they were the target of a 45-page thread and were traumatised by the website for almost a decade.
And Lauryn says she formed an alliance with the couple, having met through an Instagram chat group called Tattle Unmasked, which tries to reveal the identity of anonymous posters. Hailing her success, the TV personality, who has had difficulty with the website since 2020, told Mail Online: “I feel like it has impacted me in quite a lot of ways… It has contributed to the circus and the narrative of the saga with Kyle.
“They are keyboard warriors, they feel so safe behind it and that they have anonymity. They take it too far and they say things that they would never, ever say to you if they saw you and they feel safe enough to go down this dark path without realising the repercussions on other people.”
