Fans thank Emily Atack's 'incredibly brave' account in Asking For It? documentary

Fans have reacted to a tell all documentary where actress and comedian, Emily Atack, opens up about sexual harassment online. In the Asking For It? documentary, which aired on Tuesday night on BBC2, Emily explores why she is exposed to sexual harassment online on a daily basis, and searches for an explanation why the blame for unwanted sexual attention can be placed on the victim.

Emily bravely delves into her own story, revealing things that have happened to her as a result of attracting unwanted sexual attention from a young age. She opens up her life, and her social media private messages, to the public, as she attempts to understand why she and others are suffering this abuse and what can be done to stop this.

And soon after the show started airing, Emily's fans were quick to thank her on social media for raising awareness and applauded her bravery for speaking out.
