Blake says he at first hit back at his online critics but now he just ignores them: “At first it was fun for me to get on there – I don’t know that anybody has as many haters out there as I do, at least in the country music world – I think that’s what was fun about Twitter for me, to get down there and be like ‘oh, really,’ and just fire back at ’em. Next thing I know, that became a popular thing for people to look at on my Twitter page, just me firing back at the booger-eaters out there. After a while … I just decided, man, I can’t get worked up over this stuff anymore.”

After reading horrible comments about herself online, Bryce learned not to read what people say: “People are so vicious. I now know to stay away from stuff that I used to see on the Internet. I don’t go online and read stories about myself anymore. People were picking on me when I did the Spiderman 3 press tour literally just 14 days after I gave birth. I can’t be in that headspace. I just don’t look myself up. I had a baby, that isn’t going to change, so I ignore things so I can be in my own little bubble.”

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth had to let go and no longer cares about people’s opinions: “I don’t hold on to fear as much as I used to, because I’ve learned a lot about genuinely not caring what strangers think about me. It’s very liberating. It’s very empowering, and I’ve learned a lot of that from Jay – Shawn Carter – Z, because his approach to life is very internal. It’s a very good lesson to learn.”

Kendall Jenner

Kendall doesn’t focus on her critics because she’s knows it’s not healthy: “I don’t feel the need, you know what I mean? Let them do what they want to do. Let them sit behind a computer and write stupid things about a young girl and make her feel bad about herself. I think it’s cruel and it’s evil.”

Little Mix

Girl band Little Mix say they’ve learned how to shut out their haters: “We’ve learned to ignore hate and stuff now. But that is so hard to deal with, and I think that’s changed you a little bit. But if anything it’s made me stronger.”
