Experiencing harassment as an influencer?

Whiterose Blackmans is a specialist civil litigation firm with significant experience in harassment and injunction work. We regularly act for influencers, content creators, public figures and high-profile individuals seeking swift and effective legal protection.
Specialist legal protection for public figures
Harassment affecting individuals in the public eye is rarely straightforward. These cases often involve:
- Anonymous or pseudonymous perpetrators
- Multiple platforms and accounts
- Rapid escalation and reputational risk
- Threats to safety or privacy
- The need for urgent court action
Our solicitors understand the pressures and sensitivities involved. We provide clear, decisive advice and act quickly where protection is required.
Our harassment and injunction services
We advise and act on a wide range of harassment matters involving influencers and public figures, including:
Cease and Desist Notices
We prepare robust cease and desist notices designed to bring harassment to an immediate stop. These letters clearly set out the legal position and the consequences of continued behaviour and are often effective at an early stage.
Injunctions under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997
Where harassment is persistent or serious, we can apply to the court for an injunction ordering the offender to cease their behaviour. Injunctions can include wide-ranging restrictions and provide powerful legal protection.
Urgent and interim injunctions
In cases involving threats, stalking or escalating conduct, urgent interim injunctions can be sought at short notice. These applications are often made without notice to the perpetrator and prioritised by the court.
Identifying anonymous harassers
Where harassment is carried out anonymously, we can advise on disclosure orders requiring social media platforms, websites or service providers to release identifying information.
Online harassment and social media abuse
We regularly act in cases involving Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok, YouTube and other platforms, advising on evidence, platform reporting and court remedies.
Evidence preparation and strategy
Successful harassment applications depend on careful evidential preparation. We advise clients on:
- Preserving online evidence correctly
- Structuring timelines and logs of incidents
- Preparing witness statements
- Collating documentary and digital material
Our approach ensures that applications are properly supported and positioned for success.
Costs and funding
The cost of harassment and injunction proceedings depends on the urgency and complexity of the case. We will always discuss your options first, along with costs, in a transparent way before any work is undertaken.
Why instruct Whiterose Blackmans?

- Clear, practical advice
- Discreet handling of sensitive matters
These cases require precision, speed and expertise. We are regularly instructed where immediate legal action is required.
Is online harassment legally recognised in the UK?
Yes. Harassment can occur entirely online. Repeated abusive messages, threats, impersonation or coordinated campaigns on social media may amount to harassment under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, even where there is no physical contact.
Do I need to be a celebrity to take legal action?
No. The law does not require you to be famous. However, influencers, content creators and public figures often face unique risks due to their public profile, which the courts recognise when assessing harassment and the need for protection.
Can I take action if the harasser is anonymous?
Yes. Where harassment is carried out anonymously, it may be possible to apply to the court for disclosure orders requiring platforms or service providers to release identifying information. This can allow legal action to be taken against the individual responsible.
How many incidents are required for harassment?
Harassment usually requires a course of conduct occurring on two or more occasions. However, the seriousness, escalation and impact of the behaviour are also relevant. We can advise whether the legal threshold is likely to be met in your case.
How quickly can an injunction be obtained?
In urgent cases, an interim injunction can sometimes be obtained within days. The timeframe depends on the urgency of the situation, the quality of the evidence and court availability. Immediate advice is recommended where harassment is escalating.
What happens if an injunction is breached?
Breaching an injunction is a serious matter and may amount to contempt of court. The court has the power to impose penalties including imprisonment, fines or seizure of assets.
Will taking legal action make the harassment worse?
Every case is different. In many cases, formal legal action causes harassment to stop. Where there is a risk of escalation, we will advise on strategy and protective steps before proceeding.
Do I need to report harassment to the police first?
Not necessarily. Civil harassment remedies can be pursued independently of the police. In some cases, both civil and criminal routes may be appropriate, and we can advise on the best approach.
What evidence do I need?
Evidence may include screenshots, messages, emails, call logs, social media posts, URLs and timelines of incidents. We will advise you on what evidence is required and how to preserve it correctly.
Is my case handled confidentially?
Yes. Harassment cases involving public figures are handled with discretion and sensitivity. We understand the importance of privacy and reputational protection.
