What did The Divergent Series: Insurgent actress do to be the target of such trolling? She expressed an opinion regarding a basketball game, saying "I think Arkansas is playing dirty" during a Arkansas Razorbacks and Kentucky Wildcats game which took place on Sunday.

Speaking on the Today Show, she said: "Everyone needs to take personal responsibility for what they write and not allowing this misinterpretation and shaming culture on social media to persist... And by the way, I’m pressing charges." 

Judd added: "The amount of gender violence I experience is online is extraordinary. A significant part of my day today will be spent filing police reports at home about gender violence that's directed at me on social media."

In response to the tweets, largely which involved sentiments of sodomy and other acts of sexual violence, Judd retaliated by retweeting the offending posts in a bid to highlight how insane the Internet can be. 

In response to the interview, Twitter released this statement saying they "now review five times as many user reports as [they] did previously” and have “tripled the size of the support team focused on handling abuse reports."

With more and more high profile names abandoning their Twitter accounts, CEO Dick Costello admitted in an internal memo that he was "embarrassed" and added that "we suck at dealing with abuse and trolls on the platform."
