An Ohio mother named Michelle Gregg began receiving harassment from social media vigilantes after a 4-year-old boy fell into a gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo, prompting officials to shoot it.
However, they were going after the wrong Michelle Gregg. She shares the same name with the 4-year-old boy’s mother, and both are from Ohio.
She posted a picture that read: “This Michelle has never even been to the Cincinnati Zoo! ... Neither has my 5-year-old son!”
Gregg posted screenshots of some of the abuse she received.
“Ur scum u need ur kids taking off u sick [expletive] u should’ve been shot dirty selfish [expletive],” one woman told the wrong Gregg in Facebook private message. Another added: “U are a [expletive] killer!!!!”
She remained polite, telling at least one of them to have a “blessed day,” saying “I’m not ’that' Michelle,” reported the New York Daily News.
