Georgia Tennant contacted police after receiving another wave of death threats on social media.
The 40-year-old actress shared screenshots of abusive messages in which she asked her to “die for good” and used vile insults.
Many publications also labeled her as the ex-wife of David Tennant and tried to expose her with harsh comments.
One message included a coffin and knife emoji alongside the line: “Die you dirty Georgia, you’re so sick.”
However, Tennant tagged the Metropolitan Police and Instagram in her posts as she sought help and answers.
She explained that she would not ignore the threats and wanted the platforms and the police to take the matter seriously.
This was not the first time Tennant had faced such abuse, as she revealed in September that a stalker had offered a reward for her murder in Facebook messages.
At the time, it posted a screenshot of the threat and publicly asked social networks to clarify what constituted a violation of their rules.
The Daily Mail found more disturbing posts targeting Tennant. One comment warned that an obituary would appear soon for a specific person.
Another letter claimed that the writer planned to do whatever it took to be with David Tennant and said Georgia should be killed.
A separate post urged others to vote to kill her.
For the unversed, Georgia married actor David Tennant in 2011 and the couple raised a blended family with Ty, Olive, Wilfred, Doris and Birdie.
Fans and colleagues expressed shock at the threats and called for quick action. Police confirmed they were examining the messages and said the case was under review as they examined the posts.
