Here's what happened to Princess Dickson.

Princess Dickson died on Feb. 7, 2026, by suicide after being bullied on social media for years. Sophie was reportedly targeted first on the social media platform Tattle Life, which is a gossip website that critiques people making money by sharing their personal lives on social media. After Sophie deleted several of her social media pages, Princess became the focus of several online trolls from the age of 14 until she took her life over the online bullying.

According to her mother, the trolling did not stop after her death.

"My beautiful daughter, who loved dancing and gymnastics, is no longer here because of the actions of horrific bullies, and the website that enabled and encouraged them," she said. "They enjoyed the abuse that killed my daughter — it was entertainment for them. ... Even following her death, the trolling continues. Comments are online right now, with users degrading my daughter's memory and mocking my family's grief."

"This activity amounts to persistent online stalking and harassment of a child by adults," it continued. "Princess was aware of the content being posted about her and became increasingly distressed by the daily bullying and false allegations made on the site."

Sophie was criticized on the website for giving her two daughters beauty treatments when they were young children.

Tattle Life has 12 million visitors every month and is notorious for being a space where bullying and doxxing are rampant. According to The Guardian, the owner of the website was revealed to be Sebastian Bond after he was sued in court by an Irish couple. The couple had been targeted online with vile and vicious comments, and eventually, several users stalked them in person.
