Ashley Judd Suing Twitter Trolls For Sexual Threats, Fox's Mark Fuhrman Scoffs: 'She Doesn't Have A Case'

"Insurgent" Star Ashley Judd received threats of sexual violence from Twitter “trolls” after she tweeted that the University of Arkansas basketball team was “playing dirty,” and now she is going to press charges against all of them. Former LAPD Detective Mark Fuhrman said her threats would not bear fruit, insinuating she was the one at fault for tweeting in the first place, knowing it is “March Madness” and everyone is crazy.

After an innocent tweet to show how much she is a fan of “University of Kentucky” basketball team, Judd said she did not expect she would subjected to a barrage of vile threats, including sexual violence. In her book, she could not just let something like that pass. "When I express a stout opinion during #MarchMadness I am called a whore, c---, threatened with sexual violence. Not okay," Judd tweeted.

She got even riled up when the Twitter users would not stop even though she already expressed her anger. Some made fun of her and said she was being mentally weak and oversensitive.

On the “Today Show” Judd said she would be pressing charges against the nasty Twitter users. She said that her tweet against the University of Arkansas might have been misinterpreted but no one deserves to be insulted and shamed like she was. "Everyone needs to take personal responsibility for what they write and not allowing this misinterpretation and shaming culture on social media to persist," she said. She added that the extent of gender violence she experienced in the hands of the “trolls” was extraordinary, so she would be filing police reports.

Fox News contributor Mark Fuhrman on Wednesday, however, scoffed at Judd’s threats to sue the Internet trolls. Fuhrman said that since it is the “March Madness,” all laws are inapplicable. When Fox News host Andrea Tantaros persisted and asked Fuhrman if it was okay then that Judd got threatened with sexual violence, Fuhrman said that it is his personal opinion that during this season when it is the playoffs in college basketball, those who cannot take the heat should just “shut up.” He said it is the period where people start to pick their top four so it is natural that everyone is crazy. Some are even losing money because of basketball.

Tantaros asked Fuhrman, since he was a former LAPD detective, whether Judd could possibly win a case against the trolls and he said he highly doubts if Judd would even make true with her threats. He also questions why some people would watch the game while “playing with their silly device,” or in Judd’s case, tweeting about her feelings.
