Pia Wurtzbach on Threads: 'Hopefully Meta can keep this app troll-free'

Pia Wurtzbach is among the many celebrities who are currently enjoying the newest social media app, Threads.

On Thursday, the Miss Universe 2015 hopped on the Threads hype and wrote her first-ever post.

"Finally[,] a place where we can write down our thoughts and not get death threats for having an opinion," she wrote with rolling eyes emoji.

"Hopefully Meta can keep this app troll-free!" she added.

Pia then continued to share her worst experience with using Twitter, which is said to be Thread's rival app.

"[Getting] hate tweets literally every 30 seconds in 2020 when I voiced out my opinion on the Anti-Terror Bill," Pia wrote.

"I remember not even shading the [government] or the [President]. I just tweeted a hashtag and got so much hate," she added.

Pia said she had to uninstall the app for a week to avoid all the hate messages.

The beauty queen also shared how she was "stalked and ridiculed" by an anonymous account for years on Twitter.

"This person was reading into every single post, comment, video I was doing on every platform, including all my family [and] close friends," she said.

"They would also message the endorsements [and] brands I work with to destroy me with made up narratives," she added. "It was wild."

Pia said she reported the account to Twitter many times, but the app did nothing.

"It was clearly slander [and] abusive behavior," she said. "I had to sit there [and] take it for years."

On Thursday, Threads broke the internet when it officially launched for the public.

Threads is an Instagram-powered text-based app that lets you post texts up to 500 characters long. You may also post links, photos, and videos up to five minutes in length.
