Chloe Ayling, a former glamour model, recently opened up about the ongoing trolling she still faces, even seven years after her traumatic kidnapping experience. In 2017, when she was just 20 years old, she flew to Italy for a photo shoot, only to be drugged with ketamine and taken to a remote farmhouse by her captors, Polish brothers Lukasz and Michal Herba. The brothers were arrested and charged immediately, but before their trial, their lawyers claimed that the entire ordeal was a publicity stunt by Chloe to gain attention.
Unfortunately, this story was believed by many, who questioned Chloe's claims and even made sexist comments about her. Despite the fact that her kidnappers were eventually sentenced to 16 years in prison, Chloe still faces backlash from those who doubt her story. She explained, "I wanted to be positive and move on, but it still goes on. I feel like there was no acknowledgment of what I went through. I was never praised for my bravery getting out of that situation. Instead, I always have to defend myself."
However, Chloe has chosen not to dwell on the negativity and has moved on with her life. She acknowledges that the ongoing trolling is a "drag," but she knows that there is nothing she can do to change people's minds. She said, "I know the truth, and so does everyone who's looked into my story." Her emotional mother, on the other hand, still struggles with the aftermath of her daughter's kidnapping and has even "fallen out with almost everyone in her neighborhood" while defending Chloe.
Interestingly, Chloe's kidnapping is now the subject of a new BBC drama, "Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story." The six-part series follows her terrifying experience, her bravery and resilience in captivity, and the subsequent court case that put her kidnappers behind bars. Nadia Parkes stars as Chloe in the drama, which also delves into the media storm that surrounded her story.
Chloe has expressed her relief about the series, as it will finally show the evidence without any bias. She said, "I just want it to do justice to what I went through." Even though she did not receive any counseling after her ordeal, Chloe believes that reliving the experience will not be traumatic for her, and she hopes that the show will help others understand the truth of her story.
After her kidnapping, Chloe wrote a book and even appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2018. She continues to share her story in hopes of raising awareness about the dangers of human trafficking. "Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story" will air on BBC Three starting this Wednesday at 9 pm.
