Indy Clinton has revealed that she is seriously considering taking legal action against 15 individuals who targeted her on social media.
The Sydney-based influencer told this week’s issue of Stellar Magazine that she has suffered continuous online trolling from anonymous accounts, for posting images and video of her young children on social media.
The 28-year-old, who boasts 645,000 Instagram followers and 2.1 million TikTok followers, shares her children Navy, four, Bambi, two, and Soul, one, with her realtor husband Ben Azar.
‘They’d likened me to Ruby Franke. A convicted child abuser who tortured her children for years and years – didn’t feed them, tied them up with metal chains,’ Indy explained.
‘I was lost for words. My heart was racing, and my eyes just filled up with tears.’
Fed up by the abuse, which she says negatively impacted her parenting, Indy hired Cybertrace, a company which worked with her over 12 weeks to track down the identities of the faceless trolls who had left nasty comments on her social media.

Indy ended up with a list of the 15 worst offenders, and she was shocked to discover their true identities.
‘The craziest statistic that came out of doing this was the fact that the majority of these people are mothers with multiple children – and some had high-paying jobs,’ she said.
With the help of Cybertrace, which she paid $8000 for their private investigation skills, Indy collected enough information to track these women down.
‘I know what hospitals they gave birth at, their obstetrician’s name, their tattoo regrets, their ABNs, home addresses, their last home address before they moved, their current jobs, their previous jobs, which hairdresser they use,’ she said.
Indy has faced a barrage of criticism for footage she has posted of her children in the past.
In February, she was slammed online for letting her three young children create a mess at a cafe.
The Sydney-based influencer shared two posts to her Instagram story showing her spilling drinks and food on the floor at the establishment.
After she made the posts, online spaces were flooded with comments about Indy’s ‘lack of parenting skills.’

In January, she clapped back at a hurtful follower after they publicly accused her of letting her four-year-old son get sunburned during a beach trip.
The Aussie TikTok star posted a clip to Instagram which captured the highlights of the outing, and one troll asked her why she had allowed her son to get sunburned after noticing scrapes on his back.
‘Navy scraped his back on a rock, it’s not peeling. You’re all so concerned about my kids’ sun safety, but have you ever seen them sunburned?’ she said.
‘I’m born and raised at the beach, I know how to keep them safe. Get a hobby, get laid or go find God because you need something better to do than making up stories about me and my kids,’ she added.
Indy was also extensively trolled after she underwent rhinoplasty in March.
After revealing her updated nose, some compared her to Michael Jackson and said she has ‘ruined her face’.
