Maria Walsh has spoken out in support of Niall Horan taking on his online bullies.
Niall Horan spoke out about his experience with online trolls earlier this week.
He tweeted, “For the last two weeks I’ve been receiving messages off a group of fans, they have drowned my phone in messages, keeping me awake at night but the worst part is they have been nothing but abusive.
“Saying things you wouldn’t even believe about me and my family. And saying the worst things ever about my little nephew.”
Maria Walsh showed her admiration for the One Direction star speaking out against his bullies in her weekly column.
Maria wrote in The Irish Sun, “And this week he continued his good deeds by fighting against online bullies.
“Horan is not usually one to share his annoyance online but because of his kick-back, thousands of fans have rallied with him.”
The former Rose of Tralee also said that she is a big fan of Niall because of the awareness he is raising for Irish Diaspora.
Maria wrote, “In terms of connecting and raising awareness for the Irish Diaspora, he (Niall) makes significant contributions.
“For example, he showcased his words and love around Ireland so effortlessly in the 2013 One Direction documentary, This Is Us.”
Hats off to the One Direction singer!
