For reality TV participants

Overnight fame comes with overnight hate. Fendr handles it before it reaches you.

Fendr removes hate, abuse, and harassment from your Instagram comments in real time — before your audience sees them and before you have to.

Sign-up takes two minutes. No card needed.

From private to public in a matter of days — with no team around you.

Reality TV gives you a following overnight and takes you from private to public in days. It doesn't give you time to prepare for what comes with it — and there's no infrastructure, no team around you when it arrives.

The moment you appear on screen you become a target for people who feel entitled to an opinion on everything about you — how you look, how you speak, what you said in episode three, what you're wearing in your latest post. The volume can be staggering.

Across Love Island, Real Housewives, MAFS, The Traitors, Big Brother — every format, every network — the pattern is the same, and it can last for months after the final episode. Women face sexualised abuse; participants from ethnic minority backgrounds face racial abuse; LGBTQ+ participants face targeted homophobic and transphobic comments; and anyone edited into a villain role faces coordinated hatred that can be genuinely frightening. Turning comments off costs you the connection. Fendr is the line between the two.

The platforms aren't protecting you.

Reporting abuse to Instagram is the standard advice — and it rarely works. 70% of reported hate speech stays up. (Appeals Centre Europe, 2026) And when you're suddenly managing tens or hundreds of thousands of followers, manually reporting or deleting comments isn't realistic.

Fendr is proactive. It removes hate comments before they go live — before your audience sees them, before they spread, before they reach you.

Removing it changes more than you think.

A hate comment left visible on your post doesn't just affect you. It signals to everyone who visits your profile that this space is unmoderated — and that more hate is welcome. Research into online behaviour consistently shows that visible hate shapes the environment and produces more of it, not less.

Removing abusive comments in real time doesn't just protect you from one comment. It changes what your comment section communicates to the thousands of people who see it.
