In recent times, online sexual harassment and abuse have become increasingly rampant. Celebrities, too, are frequent targets—especially due to their open social media handles and easy accessibility to strangers. Singer Jonita Gandhi recently shared a disturbing experience she faced on Instagram, where she became a victim of cyberflashing.

Jonita on facing cyberflashing

In a recent interview with Hauterfly, Jonita recalled being cyberflashed on Instagram. She described seeing a person post a picture of male genitals with her photo in the background. The person had tagged her in the post and shared it among their Close Friends.

"Some things are kind of traumatic. On Instagram, you can check your mentions, and I’d see that I’d been added to someone’s Close Friends stories. Then I’m seeing it’s a d**k pic. It has a watermark with their thing and my photo in the background. It’s disgusting. It’s harassment. But I keep ignoring such things,” she recalled.
