A woman dubbed TikTok's 'Banter Queen' threw paint at a reality TV star's house as a feud escalated between the pair, a court heard.
Elsa Frost, who had thousands of views on the video app, has been jailed after sending a series of abusive messages to Chelsey Harwood, the Liverpool Echo reports.
She also posted a series of offensive videos on her TikTok account under her 'Banter Queen' handle about Ms Harwood last year, who first rose to fame on TV show Desperate Scousewives.
Sefton Magistrates' Court heard how the pair had been involved in an escalating feud over an extended period, with both posting videos criticising each other.
Ms Harwood is transgender and in a number of the videos, which have now been removed, 39-year-old Frost used transphobic language towards her.
The court heard she also went round to an address where Harwood lived and threw paint at the door.
Frost’s original account has been deleted from TikTok but her most recent account has more than 20,000 followers, while Ms Harwood’s has close to 45,000.
By sending the abusive messages to Ms Harwood and damaging her door, Frost was also in breach of a suspended sentence order handed down to her in 2019 for battery.
Frost, of Whitefield Close in Woodchurch, Wirral, was set to face a trial this morning after originally denying the offences at an earlier appearance last year.
However, she changed her plea and was sentenced in Bootle on Thursday.
She was sentenced to a total of 18 weeks in prison.
She received a 10 week jail term after pleading guilty to four counts of sending abusive communications.
The offences were between January 1 and February 23 last year.
That sentence was uplifted due to Frost’s targeting of Ms Harwood’s gender identity.
The other eight weeks are from her previous suspended sentence which magistrates activated upon her conviction this morning.
She pleaded guilty to criminal damage but faced no separate penalty.
She is also barred from contacting Ms Harwood or referring to her on social media for 12 months.
Frost also has to pay a total of £650 in compensation as well as the victim surcharge.
