London
(ANI):
Brit
girl
group
Sugababes
have
revealed
that
after
their
recent
line-up
change
they
have
been
suffering
all
sorts
of
verbal
abuse
from
fans.
After
founding
member
Keisha
Buchanan
was
booted
out
of
the
group
in
September
this
year,
following
months
of
turmoil
within
the
band,
she
was
replaced
by
Eurovision
star
Jade
Ewen.
But
the
changes
left
fans
fuming,
and
the
band's
page
on
information
website
Wikipedia
was
hacked
into,
with
supporters
changing
the
entry
to
describe
the
band
as
'a
hollow,
machine-like
representation
of
the
music
industry's
deconstruction
of
music
as
an
art
form'.
Following
Buchanan's
exit,
Amelle
Berrabah
suffered
from
nervous
exhaustion
and
now
Heidi
Range,
who
had
joined
the
band
in
2001,
admits
she's
scared
to
log
onto
the
group's
Twitter.com
site
because
of
all
the
sick
comments
they
have
been
receiving
recently.
"The
abuse
on
Twitter
from
some
people...
I
had
one
person
saying
'Burn
in
Hell
you
c**t.'
I
had
other
people
saying,
'Why
don't
you
get
an
eating
disorder
because
you
look
fat.'
Really
vicious
things," the
Daily
Star
quoted
her
as
saying.
Even
new
member
Ewen
was
targeted,
with
fans
yelling
obscenities
at
her
in
the
street.
"I
went
into
a
shop
in
Stratford
(east
London).
I
had
someone
shouting
abuse
at
me.
Really
rude,
nasty
things.
What
did
they
say?
That
I
was
a
backstabbing
b**ch.
She
was
obviously
a
fan
of
Keisha,"
she
added.
