Victoria's Secret Model Quits Twitter After Death Threats
Emma Ostilly is a Victoria's Secret model. As such she is used to a certain amount and kind of attention that can make you nervous. It is nothing compared to the attention she gets as the girlfriend of Harry Styles. He is in the band One Direction and ever since the pair were spotted kissing just a few days ago, Emma's Twitter account was subject to massive amounts of abuse from fans who wanted Harry all to themselves. Emma even got repeated death threats. All this over a boy bander? It got so bad that Emma just turned off her Twitter account for good. With no Twitter account to abuse, people have now started Facebook hate groups for the model. Isn't he like 12? The guy would have no chance with Emma if not for being in a band, but that is how it usually works.

Works both ways. I doubt Emma would have had a chance with him if she wasn't a Victoria's Secret model.
How old is she? This kid is either 17 or 18, and he keeps banging out grown women. He was dating an X Factor judge is her THIRTIES when he was underage.
I'm sorry, I don't get the appeal to that kind of youth.
I find him cute in a way, but that way would have me introducing him to my daughter.
Agree with Paisley.
I do feel bad for this girl, but it's most likely that she's a beard and Harry Styles will come out of the closet one day.
A lot of girls can be absolutely viscious creatures when it comes to a guy...or to a girl they are threatened by.
Pardon my age rant above, this girl is 18 too. Crazy how much older girls look at that age. I assumed she was early to mid twenties.
I might be smelling a publicity stunt here, folks.
The bigger picture perspective, it's one less twitter account. That's all I got from this post.
I'm surprised to hear he's straight.
ahhh little girls and their delusions.
ain't love grand.
@Sarah, ambiguous age is one of the most desirable qualities of a model (besides being extremely thin). The most successful models look like they are 25 from the time they are 14 until they are well into their 30s.
The first thing I though of when I read this was Jenna's storyline from "30 Rock" a couple of weeks ago where she was trying to Yoko Ono a Wiggles-style band.
I was reading Michael J Fox's autobiography last night & he was talking about the death threats Traci Pollan was getting from girls when they started dating. Hell hath no fury like a teenybopper.
Teenage girls are crazy.
^TRUE!!!!!
Why these girls think they would EVER have a chance is beyond me. I will tell you that their mothers will bring them to their concerts and totally let them groupie out. Sad.
Girls are cray cray!
I thought the one on the left was a girl.
Sorrry Harry whatsyourname.
Oh wow it looks like the Twilight gang has finally found a new obsession!
@Sue Ellen Mishkey, I thought it was a picture of two women, too, until I read the story. I thought it was going to be a story about a lesbian Victoria's Secret model.
I think he's the one covering up his gayness? Apparently there are two of them in the band which are together on the DL. Wouldn't surprise me if one picked up a VS model to cover up/for fan PR.
But yeah, bitches be crazy.
I'm totally echoing RJ. I saw the photo and the headline and before I even read the blurb I thought she was receiving death threats because she came out of the closet or something and that was a photo of her with her girlfriend.
I just don't get the appeal of these boy banders, I really don't. When I was a tween/teen I was into Duran Duran and Wham and Adam Ant (go ahead, laugh. But they were the shit back in the day) and groups like that. The guys may have worn makeup, but there was no mistaking the fact that they were grown-ass men. This generation of tweeners has absolutely no taste when it comes to men.
I do wish women would be kinder to one another. We've been stagnating if not regressing since the early 90s.
parents need to stop allowing their tween girls to act this way.
get a grip.
This kid is straight? No way, really? Is the VS model a lesbian?
I'm going to agree with Jax and Tara and combine them together. (stepping on to feminist soapbax for a moment) I really believe that part of the reason women are not taken seriously is because we cut each other down much more fiercely than any man ever could. This is a perfect example of that. This behavior is not okay, and all of these girls need to be taught that. They are the same one who will whine the loudest when it happens to them in their personal lives - they finally get a boyfriend and every girl in their class will hate on them. Pretty sad.
/off soapbox
Obviously twitter and facebook didn't exist 15 years ago, but I'm wondering did stuff like this happen to the girlfriends or loved ones of BSB or N Sync? Sometimes it seems to me that in my generation you listened to all these boybands and you had your monthly crushes but there were no plotting to kill anyones girlfriend.. Maybe you cursed Britney under your breath for stealing your man, but nothing like this. The internet has taken the edge of the actual seriousness of things like death threats. Jaded little snotfaces think they've seen it all..
Don't mean to sound cheesy, but kids today.. Get some manners! If you're gonna threaten someones life, have the balls to say it to their face..
Hey im still mad at britney for taking justin! Lol anyway that guy is gay. They need to stop frontin!
My first job was at a bookstore at a mall. I remember when girls would come in, usually in groups of 3 or more, and stand around the magazine wall looking at pictures of popular male celebs and their dates. No matter the male celeb, no matter the female, the reaction was ALWAYS the same: "she's so ugly, she's not good enough for him, she looks like a whore, he shouldn't be dating her" So yes, even before the internet made it so easy, girls have hated on the girlfriends. What scares me is the intensity of some of the comments, some of these girls are crying and saying things like 'you don't love Harry like I love Harry and you never will'. Ummmm, get some help. Screenshot that comment and look at it in a year or two, young lady.
One Direction is in New Zealand now, down in Wellington. I was there shopping on Sunday when they arrived at the hotel. The amount of screaming I heard was unbelievable. I walked by the hotel to see what was going on, and there were tons of teenage girls there screaming their heads off constantly. Earsplitting noise.
I'm just happy that there is a guy out there named Harry Styles!
@Sarah
He dated the presenter of the X Factor spin off show, not a judge.
Sorry I had an overwhelming urge to correct you.
And I don't think Harry is gay, I think the gay one of 1D is Louis. Harry is probably the one I think is least gay (after Zayn).
DISCLAIMER: I am not a One Direction fan, in fact I find the idea of being one embarrassing, hence this disclaimer, I just read a lot about them in the news.
I also hate X Factor... not at all relevant but just thought I'd let you know.
It's a strange dynamic, I saw them all just a week ago milling around hotels screaming. When the girls are together it's all solidarity can love the same guy etc, etc, but get them online and nice girls turn into raving meltdowns.
Tweens girls are NUTS! Volatile little sh*ts. I have the scars to prove it! Once most of them reach 17, though, they can start to look back at how silly (and homicidal) they were. But from 12-16, they are hormonally enslaved monsters.
And you know, I thought he was one of the pair of the gay boy banders per the blind item last week. Hmmmm. The blonde HAS to be one of the gay ones. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Drama, subterfuge, controversy, rage, threats, fear, narcissistic preoccupation, public pronouncements, posturing, and histrionics. What words to describe this in the life of an underwear model? "Highly appropriate," I think, best describes these things.
The angst of teenage girls is timeless. In his biography, Sir Paul McCartney talked about the abuse Linda had to put up with when they first got married, including "go home american bitch" spray painted on a wall near their home. This kinda of thing ain't gonna stop anytime soon. When I was a teen I died inside when I heard my teen crush was engaged. Thankfully, there was no twitter or facebook back then.
BTW, I'm humiliated to say I do know a thing or two about this band. Harry has a thing for older ladies so I don't think he's the gay one. If I remember correctly, the blind item said two are gay guys but one has a "girlfriend" - I believe these to be Louis and the one w/gf is Liam. Then two other are gay and "together". So only one, I believe Harry here, is the straight one. I wished I could find that blind....
Ugh, she's doing the "duck face." She deserves the death threats just for that.
