Katherine receives dozens of lewd messages every day from men using the site
Ms Macpherson told Alex West of The Sun people need to ‘control themselves’, and claimed one man repeatedly sent her naked images, while another said he stumbled across her page as he tried to buy a tractor.She said she had also been targeted by groups of men who use the site to find women.
Ms Macpherson, who two sons aged four and eight months, told The Sun: ‘There is sexual harassment that is being ignored and virtually condoned.‘I sell dresses and other clothing which I think is better marketed by being pictured worn.‘The eBay community’s answer to this is that because I use myself as my model that ‘I’m asking for it’ and ‘what do you expect’.’
