An online troll faced a strong backlash on social media after making derogatory comments about Declan Rice's girlfriend. This incident was not the first time the couple had been targeted this season. In a previous occurrence in December, fans swiftly came to the defense of Rice and his partner, Lauren Fryer, against a distasteful post.
Similar to the previous incident, the recent incident involved the troll hiding behind an anonymous profile. The troll made disparaging remarks about Rice's girlfriend, suggesting that Rice had low standards for being with her. This prompted a wave of criticism from football fans who supported the couple and condemned the troll's behavior, labeling them a disgrace to the Arsenal fanbase.
One user highlighted Rice's success as a professional football player and his enduring relationship with his girlfriend, whom he has been with since they were both 17. The user emphasized that Rice and his girlfriend are happy and blessed, contrasting the troll's negative comments.
Another user expressed disbelief at the lack of understanding some people have regarding loyalty and love, emphasizing the strength of the couple's relationship.
Rice and his girlfriend began dating during their school days when they were 17 years old. Lauren has been a constant presence at Rice's games, showing her support over the years. The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Jude, in August 2022.
Instances like these serve as reminders of the importance of standing up against online harassment and supporting individuals who are unfairly targeted. The incident also sheds light on the positive aspects of Rice's personal life, showcasing his enduring relationship and the joy of becoming parents together.
