The Internet reacts to Karl’s post-split life

Celebs can’t do anything these days without the Internet's troll population putting in its two cents. They don’t call these people "keyboard warriors" for nothing!

The latest public figure to cop a cheeky belting is the Today Show’s Karl Stefanovic, 42, who was spotted at a yacht party with his rumoured new girlfriend Jasmine Yarbrough over the weekend.

The TV host split with 44-year-old Cassandra Thorburn, his wife of 21 years, in late 2016 and has been under major public scrutiny ever since.

“Does Karl have a red sports car too?” laughed another Tweeter.

With trolls like this around, it's little wonder Karl hasn’t gone near his own Twitter account since November last year!
