Trolls Attacked Ashley Judd for Tweeting About Sports. Now She's Fighting Back.

Actress Ashley Judd, a well known University of Kentucky basketball fan and alumnus of the Division 1 school, is striking back at Twitter users who launched a tirade of sexually violent tweets aimed at her while she attended a Wildcats game over the weekend.

The explicit messages, which include being called a cunt and suggestions that she "suck a dick," were prompted by her Tweet saying the opposing team was "playing dirty." Now Judd indicates that she hopes to pursue charges against her trolls.

What the hell is wrong with being a fan of your alma mater's basketball team?

People are just too fucked up! I hope she can file charges.

Some members of Congress are asking the federal government to beef up enforcement of laws that already prohibit such threats of violence. From 2010-2013, federal prosecutors only investigated 10 cyber-stalking reports, despite 2.5 million cases of women being harassed online.

WTF!

Thank you for posting this Mosby, damn this makes me angry!
