Lily Allen has taken a break from Twitter following a barrage of abuse from online trolls over the weekend. 
 
 The singer was attacked after revealing she has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after her son was stillborn at six months in 2010. 
 
 Allen's friend Dennis has since taken over her account and is blocking trolls in an effort to stop the abuse. 
 
 Hi , I'm Dennis,I'll be looking after lily's twitter for a while.I can only communicate in gif form,and I'm going on a hate blocking spree. — Lily (@lilyallen) February 25, 2017 
 
 The trolls claimed Allen was to blame for the death of her son. "Maybe if you didn’t pump your body full of drugs you wouldn’t have miscarried," read one of the tweets aimed at Allen, which has since been deleted. 
 
 
 
 Allen responded to the remarks with a frank description of the circumstances of her son's death, revealing that she suffers from PTSD following the ordeal. 
 
 .@Ged_2345 I DO have mental health issues.Bi-polar,post natal depression, and PTSD, does that make my opinion void. — Lily (@lilyallen) February 25, 2017 
 
 @Lumix_Trident @Sophobsessed that's why PTSD.i can go and dig out the medical report if you really https://t.co/QL669FCmqk'll look like an asshole though — Lily (@lilyallen) February 25, 2017 
 
 The trolling began after Allen replied to a fan who had asked her when her mental health issues began. 
 
 
 
 Allen decided to take a break from Twitter on Saturday. 
 
 
 
 "My timeline is full of the most disgusting, sexist, misogynistic, racist shit. Really, new levels. I'm no masochist so I'll be back x," wrote the singer before signing off.
– "My timeline is full of the most disgusting, sexist, misogynist, racist sh--. Really new levels. I'm no masochist so I'll be back x." Singer Lily Allen exited Twitter thusly after a particularly ugly exchange in which trolls blamed her for the 2010 stillbirth of her son. Her admission that the death brought mental health issues including post traumatic stress disorder was met with a barrage of abuse over the weekend. (Sample: "Maybe if you didn’t pump your body full of drugs you wouldn’t have miscarried.") Allen also said she suffers from post-natal depression and bipolar disorder, Mashable reports. Her account apparently isn't totally on ice: A friend has taken it over and announced he's "going on a hate-blocking spree" in an attempt to rid it of the trolls.
