Remember the post we did called A Story of Real Author Bullying? Remember the troll called Diebitch who led an attack against an innocent author on Wattpad? If not, here’s a screenshot from that post to give you an idea of what she did:
After receiving more information from the people she has attacked, we now know she uses other online monikers: Avery Duncan and .
Just recently, , who is an author in the US (not in Germany):
Went on a carpet-bombing spree on Goodreads, one-starring in one day all the books of another author she has been stalking for over two years:
We know that Diebitch/Avery/Daqri was reported to the US police for online stalking and received a friendly warning from them. We also know that she has published books on Smashwords under the legal age. She is, however, 18 now. We are publishing this post to warn others about her. We recommend avoiding her.
All of her online aliases known are: Veni, Daqri Combs, Jamie Saxton, Amethyst, DieBitch, , and catcul81. Her IP was traced by the police to all of them. We understand that this author is denying what she’s done, except for her “rage” two years ago. Like every bully we have come across, she is very good at playing the victim once she is called out. Not only that, she tried to send in her lynch mob in to attack us for bringing light to what she has done. This is the mark of an internet bully.
This author claims that ever since she had a “rage” two years ago and was “pissed at” two authors she knew, she has changed and “calmed down”. Yet her recent carpet-bombing spree shows us otherwise. That and the fact that she hasn’t tried to make amends or apologize to this author. The problem with her denying what we’ve said in this post is that we have evidence to prove it. We know the name and location of the officer and police department involved when she was given a warning. We have emails, links, and screenshots to prove what happened in 2012. Not only that, we know for sure that two years ago, she started “raging” against the author she just recently carpet-bombed and has been stalking and harassing her ever since. If you would like more information on all of this, contact Athena through our Contact Us page. We are not at liberty to publish the evidence we have as internal communication within the police department is not for public view, but you can contact Athena and she can share what we have with you privately.
Edit: We have it on good authority that Diebitch/Avery/Daqri has had her accounts closed before for bullying. We also learned that she is currently Dakwiii/iTooted on Wattpad:
« Nenia Campbell Enjoying the Publicity Carpet Bomber #11, Khanh Destroyer of Dreams »
She thinks writers can’t write because she’s an imbecile who can’t read? Okay.
Actually, she sounds like a very sick little girl. I hope she gets help.
She’s probably one of those teens who bully their peers into suicide.
I absolutely DETEST those people. People who bully people into suicide are just horrible… I lost a very close friend to one of these bullies. This should NOT stand! Thank you STGRB for spreading the word about how horrible some people can be
I find her sense of entitlement amazing. I also find that these bullies take so much for granted in so many ways…in the sense that they don’t think anyone will ever go right back after them and make wood chips out of them.
All I wanted to say is, STGRB, keep up the great work! Thank you for continuing to bring attention to this. It’s because of you that these issues have received so much publicity.
You’re welcome, mesays! We definitely will.
She’s just a kid? If she is publishing at such a young age, that’s a great accomplishment! It bother’s me that she is just a kid. I kind of want to reach out to her. She may just be lashing out.
No, Emma. She’s not that young. When she published her books on Smashwords, she was underage. She’s more like 18 or 19 now. I’ll have Johnny update this post to let people know.
Thanks Athena for letting me know.
I kinda don’t understand, is she bullying people on the internet.
yea she is, she bullied me for weeks when i was new on here and she didnt care i was so much younger than her so i blocked her
Emma, we’ve seen several GR bullies start this young, age 16 or younger, and they usually get worse with age unless they are called out on their actions. If they are, it usually helps guide them in the right direction. If they aren’t, they turn into fully grown, internet trolls like Mirangela, Tina, or Shelby.
This seems discouraging. :o(
That is discouraging. Vendors should be able to defend their integrity when libelous reviews are posted.
Another bully story. Suzanne Dome is being attacked for speaking out.
You know, we’ve heard mixed stories about her. We may not agree with her completely, but we do agree with her on one point — revenge reviews are wrong. However, we don’t agree with her stance on “casual reviews” and we definitely don’t think that stay-at-home moms are incapable of writing proper reviews.
Where are you getting this?
From here:
I think this is a great site to bring up the cyber bullying happening on writer social media sites like Goodreads, Wattpad, etc. I’m familiar with this author’s work on Wattpad.com and usually prefer to stay a silent reader just because I’m unsure of how she’d react to a comment/critique on her writing style, plot, characters etc.
I find that many authors (recently published/debut) get caught up in the popularity and the fact people are reading their work they forget these writing sites are meant to improve their writing. When someone critically analyzes their work and gives them advice on how to improve, there’s usually a negative response.
I still use writing groups, love them! It’s true what you say. I think we all go through that starry-eyed phase. LOL! But you shouldn’t be afraid to critique someone’s work especially if it’s a critique designed to help.
I am a firm believer that every aspiring author should go to some sort of critique group like Critique Circle. The more you get your work critiqued and practice critiquing others, the better prepared you’ll be when it’s out there for public consumption. The more you go through this process, the better you’ll be able to distinguish actual helpful criticism from the scathing remarks and you’ll be a better writer for it.
Wow, I’m a believer now I’ve seen the proof. Thank you Athena and Johnny!
I’ve read her comments on Wattpad. It amazes me that people think she’s innocent. Just because she’s young doesn’t mean she’s innocent. It seems to me she’s managed to fool quite alot of people.
I am not sure about this, I have looked at some of her stuff and she doesn’t come across as a bully just very brutally honest. It seems to me like she made a few mistakes when she was younger (keep in mind that 18 and 19 is still young) everyone makes decisions that could be classed as bad. This just seems to be putting her down and making her fans leave her. I think that it is great that she is published. As for her reviews everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and accusing her of stalking seems a little harsh. This seems like a form of bullying to me.
We’re not accusing. We’re stating facts. We have evidence of it. She also hasn’t changed. She is still harassing this author and her recent carpet bombs of this author’s books, books she hasn’t read, proves it. Furthermore, if she had really “seen the light” and changed for the better, she would have made an attempt to make amends and apologize to this author. She hasn’t. So all of this and the discussion she recently had with Athena, tell us that she hasn’t changed at all. She has also sent in her thugs to attack our blog, which you can’t see because their nasty messages and comments are getting deleted. We have a comment policy on our blog. Whoever comments must remain respectful of the STGRB community and if comments don’t pass muster, they get moderated out. Our blog post here is made to warn others about Avery. It was made for our readers, not for Avery. If she is damaging her reputation, it is because of her behavior. She should refrain from stalking and harassing others online.
Sounds like she is whining over this because she was called out and doesn’t like it. If she can’t take the heat, she should get out of the kitchen because once you dish something out, it will eventually get back to you. She is learning what karma is.
Exactly. So instead of making amends with this author, apologizing to her, and removing her carpet bombs, she has gone to her friends to play the victim and sent them over here to attack us for holding her accountable. This is exactly what bullies do when they are called out. They play the victim. How many bullies have we seen do this in the past? A few prominent names come to mind.
It’s sad. Just appologize, or if you truly have changed then instead of lashing out with nasty blogs, go on the record and tell others in a positive way. Still I believe it takes strength of character to do the right thing, she may just be too young at the moment to understand that.
We still haven’t seen a public apology yet. What Avery really needs to do is write up an apology to this author on her blog, remove her carpet bombs, and then leave the author and her books alone. If Avery is really sincere, she will do this. But we haven’t seen it yet.
From seeing the kind of hate messages we’ve been getting from this author and her thugs, we can only imagine what it was like for the author they bullied for two years. She had to endure these kind of attacks on her social media for years. We may do a post showing people the nasty messages we’ve received from them. It’s unbelievable. Poor Airam!
Two Years! Good grief, Poor Airam is right. It really sounds like jealousy, Airam’s, books are getting great reviews.
its weird people say she’s young and lashing out and stuff, yet i am 15 and way younger than a lot of eople on here and i have been through more atrocites in my life than anyone should, i lost my mom and my brother, rebelled, failed school and you do not wanna know the rest. she should just apologize because no one can use thier age as an excuse
i completely agree, i think that people who stalk and harass other like did to me then really they should be kicked off
Yeah, brutally honest enough to carpet bomb a shit ton of books by the same author in January of this year. Note I said she did this in JANUARY of THIS year.
I smell a troll, and it’s not just Avery.
Still just the other day I was looking at something related to her. There was these nasty comments about her being lesbian and that her love interest must have been really ugly or stupid to want to go out with her. Some rather mean comments one directly related to this website said ‘Why are you such an ignorant b!h? YOU ARE IN THE F@$&*NG WRONG WITH THIS STGRB. Situation why can’t you face up to it you little troll?’ and ‘No man will ever love you , needy b!h’. These comments horrified me. Do you condone this? and if so is it any better than what you are accusing her of?
If this is true, and we haven’t seen any evidence of her being bullied, we can guarantee that whoever is doing it is not us or any of our followers. We’d still also like to know why she hasn’t issued a public apology to the author and why she hasn’t removed her carpet bombs. If she she’s changed so much and turned over a new leaf, she would have done that and she hasn’t.
“It was 2 years ago what hasn’t done bad things when you were that young?”
First thing’s first, sixteen was not that young, and second, she states she doesn’t want people to come here and defend her. But she’s manipulating every single one of her readers to do this. She’s posting links and even updating her story to tell people. Every single one of you who believes you are here to stick up for her knows it’s not true. She’s using all of you idiots!
Come on, she just cares about herself! Have you read what she posted about her grand mum? SICK!! That lady took her in and she ended up insulting her and bitching about a woman who only wanted to protect her! Let’s be honest, she only gave Ariam those bad review because she was jealous. It’s sick how she’s blackmailing people into voting or buying her story!!! You guys forgot to mention how she bullys her own fans and makes them do her dirty work! The way she treats them is like how a master treats slaves! She has no respect to anyone but herself!
We’re not surprised she did this. We’ve been blogging about the bullies for two years now and this is what they always do — instead of changing their behavior and trying to work things out, they send in their brute squad to attack. That’s when we know someone is truly a bully. That’s what they do. Whenever someone genuinely tries to contact us or the victims and work things out, which has happened before, then we know they’re sincere about making a change for the better and moving on. Avery, it appears, is not at that stage yet.
What exactly did she say about her granny? Just asking cause I recently saw another complain for it but I can’t find what she said about her. Did she say it in some of her chapters, I searched and didnt find it. Can you tell me?
Your next post should be how evil author makes fans bully anti-bullying site.
It just might be.
You cannot accuse a person for giving out reviews, whether they’re negative or not. Its freedom of speech she can give as many negative reviews as she wishes. I agree that what she did two years ago was bad, and should apologize to the person she stalked and insulted (I can’t really call it bullying cause its the people who let themselves be bullied on the web. Today it seems that once someone insutls someone else in the web, everyone is ready to call every human rights organization out there to defend the person against a supposed bullying, lol.), but I don’t think that calling her out for her reviews on books online is proving anything bad about her. If she hasn’t apologized to the person she insulted then stay to that and critisize that, not her review actions. We have freedom of speech, since when should someone be accused and critisized for disliking a book?
No, Emmy, her one-star ratings are false. They are not legitimate or honest reviews/ratings because she never read the books. She is merely one-starring this author’s books just to be malicious. That is what is called carpet bombing and yes, we can call her out on our blog for that. By doing this, she along with all of the other bullies who do this are destroying the integrity of the online reviewing community.
Yes you’re right, I read more about her, I hadn’t read all your articles so I judged by this one only. But you’re right, people who do that to authors are idiots. Nobody deserves this. I’m not very familiar with gr though so I dont know the effect of it. I hope the author won’t have any trouble cause of those 1 star ratings.
i think that authors who do this to others have no lives of their own and get their kicks out of making others feel like crap. Its disgusting behaviour, especially now that she is considered an ‘adult’ though she acts 5 is even worse.
Yeah, about that whole “freedom of speech” thing…
See, freedom of speech works in both directions. Your having freedom of speech doesn’t trump anybody else’s freedom of speech, so other people can “accuse and criticize” you for a review if, say, your review is harsh to the point of being inflammatory, ugly, or vile — or if you slam every single book by a particular author without reading any of them (or without reading more than 15% of one of them) — or if your review is part of a multi-year online harassment campaign against the author.
I also hate it when people discourage authors I really do. What I meant in my post was that you can’t ‘punish’ someone for giving negative reviews, sadly. I’d like to teach a lesson to every false ‘reviewer’ and those trolls who act like they give ‘critiques’, as well. I read more about Avery and came to realize the article is right, at least to most parts. I have seen for myself, how she..works her magic on her fans. I wouldn’t be surprised if she indeed hasn’t regretted what she did 2 years ago, but what gets on my nerves more, is how gullible her fans are. Once she whinned about it on her blog, her fans instantly started a whole high school drama fuss about how her accusers are @@@@@ blah blah, and many of them went as far as to actually come to the site and try to attack by comments. People dont even think nowdays.
i know right, avery’s fans are so stupid, all of these middle aged women would attack me because i was saying she was playing the victim. this girl who happens to be one of her followers attacked me and hurled every disgusting word at me because she thought was a good person. i call bullshit
“or if your review is part of a multi-year online harassment campaign against the author.”
I see what you did there…
The trolls are up to their usual tricks. They’ve given Avery a link to that ridiculous .net site. Their attempt to discredit STGRB is so transparent. It’s all a bunch of hearsay. There is a big difference between stopthegrbullies.net and STGRB and that’s integrity. You guys prove what you say. The troll site doesn’t.
On her wattpad account itooted she is telling people that these are lies. Telling her fans to check this site out that it is a good laugh. I have read Airam books and they are awesome. I have read itooted books and they just drag on. I think she bullies out of jealously.
She did say that and that the bloggers wouldn’t let her comment trying to explain herself which she says “That is a sign, to me, that they know what they’re doing is wrong.” and that she doesn’t care about this blog that you put up about her stating that it’s “immature and ridiculous.” She also said something very rude by saying “I’m too busy to care about the insecurities of an old woman who has nothing but time on her hands to stalk a teen.” which is disrespectful and a disgrace from how she is saying she never ‘stalked’ the author but is claiming now that the author herself is stalking her which is pretty childish. Another thing she said was that “I feel sorry for her. and hope that she realizes that what she is doing now, is just as bad as what i was doing when i was younger.”
Yes, we saw that. First off, if you look at our sidebar, it states that the trolls and bullies are not allowed here which is why we are blocking Avery’s friends. They came here with one purpose — to attack. We’re not even going to engage them. We’re just going to remove their comments and block them. Secondly, we never looked her up online. All the information we have on her, we received from people she stalked and attacked. All we did was post it on our blog and call her out for her bullying. We feel it’s the right thing to do to warn other people about her. She claims that her “rage” happened two years ago and is over now, but instead of publicly apologizing to the person she attacked, she carpet bombed her books on Goodreads. It’s clear this girl is a bully who hasn’t yet changed her ways. What she needs to do to show everyone she’s changed is issue a public apology, remove her carpet bombs and leave this author alone. And she hasn’t done that yet. Very telling, wouldn’t you say?
i have had the worst experience with one of these girls and i agree iwth all of the above comments. when i was knew on here say… 4 months ago. /DK Combs / Dakerpee and her other aliases have been used to continuously harass and abuse me. only because she didn’t like my fanfic based on the hunger games. then she sicked all of her nasty little followers onto me because ‘she was the victim’ which was crap. this nasty girl hates people so much she thinks she can do this to people and not get away with it. she called me every name under the sun and called me a ‘fat, pathetic, feral whore of a girl who cant write a story for my life’ i also noticed that everyone hates her yet she thinks because she has loads of followers and reads she’d better than everyone else. i hate that!.i heard about her rage 2 years ago and i think a girl like this, no matter how popular should be taken off the site, she is nothing but a menace to this community. i can’t believe the nerve of this girl i have never met the others but i am sure they are just as bad.
i have had 3 main bullies in the past, dakerpee, d and , these two girls and boys literally call people out on their, weight, height, appearance, intelligence and their ability to write i can’t believe people like this are on that site. its horrible
That’s horrible, Sabrina. I hope that they’re leaving you alone now. There are some very nasty people out there who get a thrill out of trying to degrade and put down others. It makes them feel better about themselves. Stay strong and know that you’re not alone, and that you’re so much better than they are. These people who strike out as bullies do really lead pathetic and sad lives in the real world. When they’re not hiding behind their computers. They are insecure, angry-at-life kind of individuals who probably need therapy, and are obviously not getting it. Stay away from their blogs and twitter accounts. What you don’t know won’t stress you out. Karma will find them all on the end.
yea thanks for your support, i know in my school but she doesnt say a word to me when i see her. she says she has had, self harm issues etc. yet she still says this crap to others and is a total *****. they can’t contact me anymore . i posted a pic on a anti bullying discussion and it said ‘revenge, nah. i am just gonna sit here and let karma **** you up’ i thought i was the only one bullied on this scale, and especially from she seems to have a rather long history
She thinks she’s so profound now. I’m not gonna bitch about her too much because that’s what she did to others. People know NOT to bully and NOT to troll. She was old enough to know that and when she got caught she made her excuses.
Now, I’ve read bits and bobs of her work and yeah… it’s okay, I guess. But she’s fallen into the cliche’s which I’m sure she would have picked up on.
Ohmygod! When I saw this I could only do two things, shake my head and laugh! I had a run in with Daqri a few months back after Nano was over. She was on my friends list and her and some other judgmental little girls were just being completely rude about single mothers and just being plain nasty. I left a little comment on her status just asking why she felt that way and the next thing you know, she lost it! She started calling me names, getting her groupies to attack and I just sat back, laughed and then blocked her. She is a HORRIBLE little girl with a nasty, viscous attitude. I will NEVER give her the satisfaction of reading even ONE of her horrible stories.
