Billionaire’s wife slammed for bullying woman with same name on Instagram, deletes her handle after backlash
Katherine Asplundh, maiden name Driscoll, allegedly bullied a woman and tried to buy her Instagram handle as she has the same moniker as her married name.
A woman is accused of bullying another person with the same name as her own on Instagram. Reportedly, Katherine Asplundh, formally Driscoll, who married a billionaire heir, pressured another woman with the same moniker as her married name and asked her to sell her Instagram handle - a move that violates the platform’s terms of service. When refused, Asplundh reportedly bombarded the other woman's Instagram DM with a flurry of texts. Soon, the incident came to light, and she received severe backlash from social media users. Following this, she deleted her Instagram account.
Dailymail shared an Instagram video showing the text exchanges between the two women. “Katherine Asplundh, formerly Driscoll, has since deleted her Instagram account, after hundreds of fans stole other versions of her newlywed name,” wrote the outlet.

“Something that low-key bothers me is when girls get married, and it’s not even like 10 minutes after they do their vows, and they’re like ‘Oh! Going on my Instagram! Let me change my last name already’,” Asplundh said in a video, according to the Daily Mail, cited the New York Post.
