Most of the celebrities get cyber bullied from photos taken by paparazzi and unauthorized personals. However, cyber bullied by video is usually different comparing with cyber bullied by photos. For example, the infamous Paris Hilton, who had a homemade sex video of she and her former boyfriend, was leaked and released on the Internet back in 2003. It was the hot news back then and without any shame or humiliation, Paris Hilton had later released her video in a DVD name 1 night in Paris instead of taking legal actions. She made a big amount of money through her infamous idea of releasing and selling it on DVD to the public.

Another case was the Kim Kardashian sex tape scandal. In 2007, a homemade sex video of she and her then boyfriend was leaked on the Internet. Kim made a law sued against Vivid Entertainment, an adult film production company for having in possession and ownership of the tape without any permission from Kim. However, Kim later on dropped the suit and settled with Vivid Entertainment for USD$5 million.

No matter how both celebrities had some how rewarded back with money after the incidents, but personally i am sure that nobody ever will have the intention to receive money in such a way and this has shown that cyber bullying can happen to anybody, anytime and anywhere.

What made Megan collapsed and committed suicide was the message from Josh, after assuming Josh had heard rumors bout Megan, he sent a message to Megan saying you are a bad person and everybody hates you. The world would be a better place without you. Surprisingly with a reply from Megan to Josh saying you're the kind of guy a girl would kill herself over. Because the impact of such message from Josh to Megan had really broken Megan's heart, thus she was already suffering from depression and low self-esteem disorder.
