It’s been nearly a year since actress Abby Greene lost her dad to COVID-19, and recently, she found herself defending her choice to wear a mask. During a New Year’s celebration in Las Vegas, Abby shared a fun photo on a roller coaster, where she was the only one sporting a mask. Of course, an online troll couldn’t resist the urge to criticize her, even calling her father “weak” for succumbing to the virus.
The user, going by @maskless_mike, commented, “Who’s the pathetic loser wearing a mask?” to which Abby fired back, “That pathetic loser is me—someone who lost their dad because someone didn’t wear a mask and gave him COVID. Please go away now.”
Sadly, this troll didn’t stop there. He continued to harass her, insisting that masks don’t save lives and implying her father’s fate was due to his own weakness. Abby decided to take a stand, sharing the comments on her Instagram and stating, “To say my dad died because he was ‘weak’ is something I will not tolerate.” She also encouraged her followers to report the harasser.
Beyond just the mask debate, it’s a painful reminder of Abby’s loss. In February 2021, she shared her heartbreak on social media, saying, “Hard to write this. Harder than I thought… I’m in shock and devastation. My sweet, perfect, amazing, heroic, wonderful dad passed away after my family and I said goodbye… It was COVID-19 that cut my sweet daddy’s life too short.”
