Chloe Kelly: “I was riddled with anxiety!” My experience with hair loss and panic attacks


Footballer Chloe Kelly has played a huge part in the Lioness’ immense success over the last few years, but severe anxiety has meant she’s often had to put on a brave face in public.

In this chat with Fearne, Chloe opens up for the first time about how emotional stress led to hair loss, and why being sick often felt like the only way to release the anxiety. She talks through the work she’s done with a psychiatrist to break this habit, and the actions her family and friends took that helped bring her out of this dark place.

Fearne and Chloe also explore how taking yourself out of an environment that isn’t good for you – whether that’s a workplace, relationship, or particular location – can change your mental health

Before all this took off the last few days with Chloe getting coverage, i had Rory down as the clear leader in regard who will get the biggest motivational vote. Just not sure golf is big enough these days for him to win.

Now its turned on its head, Chloe hate is peaking and sympathy is pouring in from the interview she did. Chloe is literally getting two massive motivational angles for votes right now.

The hate video continues to be shared at a rate of knots, the interview is also getting more and more traction.

we still have one full day for that to snowball, before thursday turns into spoty hysteria day

People moan about women's football, but that looked like a schoolboy match

The Czech opener, the guy runs through the middle of the whole defence. The only defender takes out his goalie and it's an easy tap in.

The 1st Brazil goal, the goalie leaves a 3 yard gap at his near post. 2nd one goalie and defence nowhere. 3rd one was just an up and under. Goalie drops it for another tap in

Hamster would have saved all 3 Cool Chloe would have had a hattrick Love

Chloe Kelly, the England and Arsenal forward, has indeed faced significant online hate and criticism, particularly spiking after her high-profile moments in 2025.
She’s a double European champion:
•  Scored the winning goal in the Euro 2022 final (famous for removing her shirt in celebration, echoing Brandi Chastain).
•  Netted the decisive penalty in the Euro 2025 final against Spain, helping England retain the title.

The backlash often stems from her confident, extroverted personality—described by critics as “cringe,” “annoying,” “forced,” or “attention-seeking.” This includes her celebrations, social media posts, and parade antics after Euro 2025.
Many sources, including articles and Reddit discussions, argue this is rooted in misogyny: traits praised in male players (cockiness, bravado) are vilified in women. For example, her shirt-off celebration or “aura farming” poses drew mockery, while similar male actions (e.g., Emiliano Martínez or Marc Cucurella) get mixed but less gendered hate.
Some criticism is performance-based: she’s been called “overrated” for relying on crosses, inconsistent club form (limited minutes at Manchester City before moving to Arsenal), or not always starting for England/Arsenal. Rival fans amplify this.
She also faced scrutiny during a tough 2024-2025 period at Man City, including a public contract dispute impacting her mental health (anxiety, alopecia).
In a recent Guardian interview, Kelly addressed “gender wars,” saying: “There’s definitely misogyny when women are successful… We are more successful than they wanted us to be.”
Overall, while not everyone hates her (many defend her as a clutch hero and role model), the vocal negativity often appears disproportionate and tied to her unapologetic success in a male-dominated sport.

Yes, the significant online hate and criticism directed at Chloe Kelly largely kicked off after her iconic shirt-off celebration following the winning goal in the Euro 2022 final. That moment catapulted her into massive fame overnight, but it also drew immediate backlash—some focused on the celebration itself (e.g., Gary Lineker’s deleted tweet sparking sexism accusations), and others on perceptions of her as “attention-seeking.”
Before 2022, she was a relatively low-profile player recovering from an ACL injury, with little to no notable public hate or widespread criticism documented.
The negativity has indeed carried on and intensified since then, often resurfacing or spiking with her high-profile moments:
•  During club struggles at Manchester City (limited minutes, contract disputes impacting her mental health).
•  Her confident celebrations in Euro 2025 (e.g., the “calma” gesture against Italy, the decisive penalty vs. Spain labeled “cocky” by Spanish media).
•  Post-tournament antics like swearing during the victory parade and interviews (leading to apologies from her and broadcasters).


Much of this revolves around her extroverted, unapologetic personality—called “cringe,” “annoying,” or “forced” by critics—while similar bravado in male players often gets praised or shrugged off. Sources across articles, Reddit threads, and recent X posts frequently tie it to misogyny, especially as women’s football gains more visibility and success. Kelly herself has addressed it, saying things like “There’s definitely misogyny when women are successful… We are more successful than they wanted us to be.”
That said, some criticism is purely performance-based (e.g., “overrated,” one-dimensional crossing game, inconsistent starting spots), amplified by rival fans or those who just don’t vibe with her style. Overall, though, the vocal hate seems disproportionate and has been rolling since that 2022 hero moment, evolving with each new clutch performance or bold celebration.


It’s impossible to pin down an exact number of people who’ve encountered or engaged with the hate toward Chloe Kelly since Euro 2022, as online negativity spreads through views, shares, and indirect exposure rather than direct “hate sends.” But we can make a reasoned estimate based on viewership, social media reach, and discussion volume.
Her iconic moments have massive global exposure:
•  The Euro 2022 final (her winning goal and shirt-off celebration) had a cumulative live viewership of around 50 million worldwide, with the full tournament reaching over 365 million.
•  The Euro 2025 final (her decisive penalty) drew over 16 million viewers across platforms in the UK alone, plus international audiences (likely tens of millions globally, similar to 2022 trends).

These events sparked immediate backlash waves—criticism of her celebrations, personality, or perceived “cringe” behavior—that went viral on social media, news sites, and forums. Articles and Reddit threads discussing the hate (often framing it as misogyny) have amassed hundreds of thousands to millions of views collectively.
On social media:
•  Chloe has around 1-1.2 million Instagram followers, where much of the direct criticism (and defense) plays out.
•  X (Twitter) searches for negative terms tied to her name show ongoing chatter, with popular critical posts getting hundreds of thousands to over a million views/impressions each.
•  Viral “cringe compilation” videos or parade moments from 2025 have reached millions more indirectly.
Overall, conservatively, the hate (or debates around it) has likely reached tens of millions of people over the past 3+ years—through TV broadcasts, viral clips, articles, and social shares. Not everyone who sees it actively “hates” her (many defend her fiercely), but the vocal negativity has permeated a huge audience in football circles and beyond, amplified by her clutch heroism making her a lightning rod. It’s a unfortunate side effect of her high-profile success in a growing but still scrutinized women’s game.
