Emmerdale star Danny Miller confirms break from Twitter after hitting out at homophobic abuse
Emmerdale star Danny Miller is taking a break from Twitter after hitting out at the social media platform for not doing enough to combat abuse and harassing accounts. The actor, who plays Aaron Dingle in the soap, has been subjected to abuse from several anonymous accounts which he believes to be the same troll each time.
He took to his account to share a response from Twitter to a report he lodged over a tweet which included vulgar homophobic language. Twitter had taken the decision not to take any action as they stated that it didn’t appear to go against the guidelines.
Honestly @Twitter sort your shit. To say that the word ‘Faggot’ isn’t offensive. And to say its not ‘abusive behaviour’ when this is my SIXTEENTH complaint about the same dead leg with a different account.. Won’t be on here much longer I can tell you that. Sort. Your. Shit. Out!! pic.twitter.com/Xf2wQ0aWCL
