UFC Fighter Who Went Viral For Interaction With 'The Rock' Stands Up To Internet Bullies: 'Lots Of Depression Has Been Caused By People Like You'

One of the best feel good stories of the year came from UFC fighter Themba Gorimbo who revealed that he had just $7 in his bank account after his first UFC win.

Donating his money to his village in Zimbabwe to help them build a well to get fresh water, Gorimbo’s story made it all the way to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

In a viral social media video, Johnson went to surprise the 32-year old fighter and revealed that he had bought him a new house with all expenses paid for after he had been sleeping on a couch in his gym.

Unfortunately, that level of attention comes with people who look to tear others down via social media. 

Gorimbo has now posted on his platforms, calling out the negative comments that he sees being sent to him and other people on social media.

“If you an internet bully and here to comment negative comment on my posts or even other people please hit the unfollow button . Lots of depression has been caused by people like you . Write things here and go on with your lives and leave other’s emotionally demaged . Screw u”

Themba Gorimbo Looks To Call Out People Spreading Negativity Online By Sharing His Own Experiences

Being a public figure on social media, there is always going to be negativity aimed at you but Gorimbo has had enough of it whether it’s directed at him personally or just something that he sees.

Elaborating on his initial post, he went on to speak about his own outlook on life and being positive about the accomplishments of others.

On top of that, he provided a simple solution for anyone that wants to post criticism on his social media handle or anyone else’s.

“I don’t find it hard to look at someone post and be happy for them . I’ve learnt this myself. It doesn’t hurt . — The alternative is however to just unfollow a person if you don’t have anything positive to write or say . Can’t imagine to press sent on someone post with hate .”
