Louise Redknapp has been “devastated” by sick internet trolls branding her a bad mum.
The singer now refuses to respond to online taunts about her two children with former husband Jamie.
Louise, 44, split with the ex-footballer in 2017 after 19 years together.
But she has faced a barrage of abuse about her role as mum to Charles, 15, and 10-year-old Beau.
Louise explained: “I used to feel devastated. I went through a time when I was taking bullets every day of my life from people who have never met me.
“I get comments like, ‘Are you ever with your kids?’ And I want to say, ‘Well actually this morning I did four teenagers a bacon sandwich, and then I took one to golf’.
"You are being told that you’re a bad mum. It’s hard not to retaliate.
“It’s hard when you’ve always been judged nicely in the industry as you've been the quiet one – and then all of a sudden, everyone has a massive opinion of you.
“I do block any negative comments – I just don’t want to see it.”
The ex-star of girl group Eternal confessed on hypnotist Paul McKenna’s podcast that she has poured out emotions into her imminent fourth album, Heavy Love.
She said: “This was quite cathartic. I had pent-up feelings and they just all came out.”
And she added: “I wish that I had fought more to sing more. I wish I had believed that it was OK to be a mum and to have a career.
“I wish I had enjoyed some of the years where I was at the pinnacle.”
