Clemmie Hooper’s perfect public image has been shattered. The Brit, known on Instagram as Mother Of Daughters, was last week exposed as a troll going by the name of AliceInWanderlust, who even attacked her own husband Simon online.
But the frenzy that followed this shock revelation claimed someone else as a victim: Kelechi Okafor.
Okafor, a writer and actor, called out Hooper for racist comments she’d made as AliceInWanderlust. Almost immediately, she found her Instagram account deleted.
Okafor posted on Twitter that Hooper had been “writing crap about Black female mummy bloggers because she felt threatened by their growing success”.
“I wouldn’t trust you to look after me,” another added.
As for Okafor, she wrote on Twitter yesterday that she’s “still vexed” and can’t pretend that she’s not.
“I don’t care about the platform as much as the principle that my anger was feared more than addressing racism.”

I'm changing the wifi password, because everyone needs a little time away from the internet.
From the initial report. it didn't sound like Hooper set uip this account so she could espouse what her real views were: it sounded like she was trying to do an undercover investigation type thing and was doing it to try and blend in. Unfortunately she seems to have gotten a bit caught up in it and lost sight of that original goal.
