Indy Clinton has revealed she has hired a private investigator to get the private details of those people leaving hurtful or “troll” comments on her popular social media accounts.

The mother-of-three, who has 650,000 Instagram followers, confirmed the move via a video.

“How it feels receiving a 64-page report from my PI after an extensive three-month investigation on all my ladies (mothers) who have continuously bullied, defamed and trolled me and my family for months n months and even years,” she wrote.

Clinton looked pleased with herself as she danced around in the clip, including completing a number of jubilant twirls.

Clinton, who received divided opinion with the move, was praised by some of Australia’s biggest names.

“Think I might do this too. You are not anonymous trolls,” AFL WAG Rebecca Judd wrote.

“Queen sh*t,” Perth influencer, Em Davies, added.

“This. I found out who my troll was too - it was one of my clients. Blew my mind that most “trolls” are people we know,” Felicity Morgan wrote.

Trolling remains a grey area when it comes to the law. However, if the harassment passes the legal threshold for adult abuse, it can be reported to the eSafety commissioner.

The harassment could also contravene existing defamation or harassment laws.

Other followers were less sympathetic.

“So, you got a PI because people troll you. Yet, you’re the one that puts up all the ridiculous things you do. Exploiting your children and husband then you complain because people make harsh comments. Yet, it’s never affected you enough to stop posting. You just found a new angle to get attention,” one person wrote.

“Have fun with that. Trolling isn’t illegal,” another wrote.

“Your weird,” another added.

Clinton spoke to The Daily Telegraph about her decision to hire a private investigator.

“Some of the defamatory things which have been said about me in recent years are extremely distressing,” Clinton began.

“I will use my platform and my voice to not only spread awareness but to make an impact.”

Clinton then spoke about the toll trolling has taken on her.

“Lives are being taken,” she said.

“For me - a few months ago - what I endured was life or death.”
