SASHA Attwood has hit back at trolls who bombarded her with death threats during the Euros.
Here’s what we know about her.
Who is Sasha Attwood?
Sasha Attwood, 25, is a fashion model and influencer. She’s got more than 27,000 followers on Instagram and she’s also a YouTuber.
She and Jack Grealish have been together since they were 16 and met at school.
Who has Sasha Attwood modelled for?
While boyfriend Jack has been working hard on the pitch, Sasha seems to have been busy too, as she posted an Instagram story showing a fashion shoot set up and tagged retail giant House of Fraser in the video.
She was scouted by a modelling agent at just 13 while out on a shopping trip with her mum in Birmingham.
The blonde model is represented by Industry Model Management and has modelled for Boohoo and many others.
What did Sasha Attwood say about death threats during Euro 2020?
Sasha found herself bombarded with hate during the Euros while she was cheering on Jack, 25, and his Three Lions teammates.
Speaking on her YouTube channel, she said: “I was receiving 200 death threats a day. I’m not exaggerating when I say that.
“I had so many messages every single day. I still get them now, all day every day.”
Sasha — who was targeted by trolls on TikTok and Instagram — joined the debate around the accountability of social media firms as she labelled the platforms “toxic”.
She said: “Things have obviously blown up over the Euros, but I never thought in a million years it would ever be this bad.
“It just kind of blows my mind how nasty people can be for no reason whatsoever.
“I’ve always been quite a strong person, I’ve always been very good at blocking out people’s opinions. But it’s on a whole other level.”
She added: “It’s just crazy. It’s the nasty messages about my appearance, people’s opinions. What are you all doing? It’s embarrassing.
‘TOXIC’ PLATFORMS
“You hear people talking about trolling, but I never realised how bad it actually was. The scary thing is, it’s young girls.
“I’d go on these girls’ accounts who have sent me stuff and they’re 13 or 14. It’s so sad. I try to put it down to age but then I think when I was that age I never sent a message like that.
“I think it’s so toxic, social media, and it’s really sad these generations have grown up thinking that it’s OK to say things like that.
“Why are you doing it? Please ask yourself why.

“If you’re one of those people who goes out of your way to make a fake account or to send a horrible message, wishing someone was dead or talking about their appearance, or talking about their personal life, why, what are you getting out of it?”
Sasha said: “It was a real s*** time, it was actually horrible, and I was feeling so anxious . . . it was not nice at all.
“I didn’t ask for any of that, didn’t ask for anything to be put out there, but it’s out there, isn’t it, and I’m just going to continue to carry on as normal.”
