Shocking Survivor Leaked!!! Joe Hunter breaks his silence on online bullying as fans react fast
Survivor alum Joe Hunter has posted a pointed social media message that appears to speak directly to what he has been seeing online this season.
Joe first appeared on Survivor 48, where viewers remembered him for his genuine friendship with Eva Erickson.
That season ended with Kyle Fraser taking the win, Eva finishing as runner-up, and Joe placing third.
Joe later returned for Survivor 50. He reached the final seven, and fans will soon learn whether he managed to secure a seat at the final table.
On social media, Joe often shares messages about helping people through difficult life moments. This time, he posted again about how castaways — or anyone else — can deal with online “haters” and the kind of bullying that can come with them.
Survivor alum Joe Hunter shares advice for dealing with online or in-person ‘haters’
“This is for anyone that is dealing with negative people or those who speak poorly about you. From Former players on survivor, current or any human being struggling with negative people. You’re not alone and remember the loud voice of people who don’t know you does not reflect who you really are. Stay strong and remember you are an amazing person,” Joe Hunter captioned a new Instagram video.
Joe also spoke about his ongoing desire to help others navigate heavy issues, including depression, suicide, and domestic violence.
He then turned to the wave of negativity he says many people face as Survivor 50 moves toward its finale.
“Haters or people talking poorly about you. Remember, a lot of us go through that, and whether you’re a current player, former player, or just someone who’s never been in reality TV or anything, just know that we can all go through those co-workers, friends that can say horrible, heinous things and judge you. And truly don’t know you,” Joe stated.
“As I’ve said before, you’re not alone. Reach out to people. Reach out to friends. And don’t weigh your value on that opinion. Despite popular opposition, you’e still a great person, and sometimes we all just need to hear that. And I know this can be a difficult journey, but I want everyone to know like, okay, hard times come, but don’t let the people that don’t even know you judge you,” Joe added.
Joe’s full video is shared below, and it has already sparked plenty of reaction on social media.
“I really respect how solidly you stand your ground in the game and out of it. Truly just a good human being down to the core. Cheers 🍻,” wrote one follower.
“You are an amazing person and I respect how you stand your ground for what you believe is right! ❤️,” stated someone else.
“This is so beautiful Joe! Preach! 🙌🙌🙌 We had SUCH a blast at the watch party last night. Thanks soooo much for hosting!!!!” wrote another supporter.
