TWITTER IS A cruel, cruel place.

And Jimmy Kimmel utilised this fact for his viewers’ entertainment back in 2012 when he introduced the Celebrities Read Mean Tweets segment of his chatshow.

Over the course of the last six years, we have watched some of Hollywood’s biggest and brightest stars react to trolling at its most acute.

And there’s no denying, it makes for TV gold.

Here we take a look at just some of the most savage.

5. John Legend realising Chrissie had spilled even more tea than usual.
