"I mean, obviously when there is FBI investigations going on with what people are saying to you online, it's very serious," she said."Obviously it's been something that I have dealt with my whole career," she said."I think that, like I said, it's only continued to get worse, and people online have the free rein to say and do whatever they want behind fake pages, which is obviously very troublesome.
