Actress Rebecca Gibney was “really disturbed” by criticism Melissa George faced for speaking out about her abusive former partner and has thrown her support behind the mum-of-two.
The 52-year-old revealed in an emotional Instagram post that she too had been affected by family violence while defending her fellow Australian actor.
Posting a black and white “happy snap” of herself with sister Stella as children, Gibney told her followers she was “appalled” by comments the 40-year-old had been met with.
“No one would know that we were being raised in a family of domestic violence,” Gibney wrote next to the image.

Good on Rebecca Gibney for speaking up in Mellisa George's defense. Bullying is not OK, but seems particularly horrible when aimed at someone who is already traumatized and dealing with being assaulted.
