In the post, Alanna revealed the horrific threats that had come her way because she posted a photo of herself in a bikini.

Alanna also revealed that the troll was a mother, whose daughter was just a little younger than Alanna herself. She then wondered how someone with a child could wish such things upon someone else's child. Alanna shockingly added that the woman was either a doctor or a nurse. The model ended the post by calling out "educated women" in the country who still talk/think like this. Further, Alanna added screenshots of other women who left behind hateful and body-shaming comments on her posts.
Even Alanna Panday's mother joined the conversation and called out the woman who sent her daughter rape threats. Deanne Panday, Alanna's mother, wrote that this woman was the same person who shamed her, telling her that she was bringing up her daughter in the wrong way. The model/actor also called out body-shaming a while ago by posting a selfie of herself in her underwear.
