Bullying is unfortunately something that is familiar to many.

Whitney Cummings, shown here at a 2018 event, shut down efforts to extort her over a photo. (CNN) - Whitney Cummings is taking a public approach to dealing with internet scum and making it clear she won't be bullied. "In April I accidentally posted an insta story that showed nipple," she said on Twitter. Cummings did not share the identities of any of the people she says were attempting to get money from her "because some of them might be dumb kids." More than 30 states and the District of Columbia have laws against nonconsensual disclosure of sexually explicit images and videos.
