Essex Mum Faces Backlash Over Funeral Photos of Daughter Princess

Sophie-May Dickson, 32, from Essex, has sparked outrage after sharing emotional photos and videos from the funeral of her 16-year-old daughter Princess. The teenager tragically took her own life after two years of relentless bullying on Tattle Life – a ruthless online gossip forum known for tormenting influencers.

Social Media Slams ‘Glam’ Funeral Outfit

<pCritics flooded in, attacking Sophie-May’s chic funeral look. Her white high heels and stylish outfit were branded “more party than mourning.” Many slammed the intimate photos of her resting her head on the coffin as “contrived” and “inappropriate” for such a somber occasion.

But Sophie-May hit back hard, insisting grief is personal. She posted a heartfelt caption alongside the images:

“The day I tucked my baby to sleep for the very last time. The hardest goodbye. How do you ever accept kissing your baby for the very last time? I love you Princess. You are loved beyond belief. I’ll see you next in heaven girl. Please be at the gates to greet me when it’s my time and show me all around. Miss you so much – this missing piece will never ever be filled. You took a piece of me when you left.”

From Troll Target to Heartbroken Mother

Sophie-May, who previously appeared on Channel 5’s Blingin’ Up Baby, was once the victim of online trolling herself. After deleting her account, the abuse cruelly shifted to her daughter Princess. The cruelty the teen endured is heartbreaking.

Despite the savage backlash, Sophie-May stands firm, defending her right to grieve openly and her way. Her story underscores one brutal truth: grief comes in many forms, and no one should judge a mother saying goodbye to her child.
