Sacha proposes to pay for trolled couple’s honeymoon
PARKLIFE boss Sacha Lord is searching for a couple who are set to marry after an on-stage proposal at the festival – because he wants to pay for their honeymoon. Sacha was furious about social media trolls who targeted the couple – Milo and Indy – online.
They got on stage during a set by rapper and comedian Yung Filly on the main stage having won a contest to spend a day with the social media sensation.
Sacha told the M.E.N.: “Imagine a young couple like that, they’ve probably spent the last two years having a really rough time with lockdown. Imagine being in their shoes and you get engaged on the main stage at Parklife, in front of 80,000 people and it’s a moment you’re going to cherish for the rest of your life. Then you wake up and look at social media and a load of people who sit in their mum’s back bedroom and hide behind false profiles and they’re writing nasty comments.
“For those kids to read that, and their family, it would be heartbreaking. I think it’s disgusting and I think it’s vile. Sadly, some people have to put up with trolls and it’s a way of life. But I think we should be learning. I want them to cherish that moment. So first, let’s find them. They’ll never have to pay to come to any of our events again, whether it’s Parklife or the Warehouse Project, but I want to take a further step. “I want to pay for the honeymoon.
“And, when they go away, I want them to sit there in the sun posting pictures to social media, knowing that those people who had a go at them are bitter and they’re not there. So let’s find them, and let’s look after them.”
