Jodie Marsh has blasted the nasty ‘troll’ who targeted her with animal abuse claims after her farm was raided by the RSPCA and trading standards.
The former model, 44, was confronted by officials at Fripps Farm on Thursday after pictures emerged of her at the pub with her meerkat to the pub.
It’s understood that Animal Health And Welfare attempted to view Jodie’s animals after receiving two separate welfare complaints, however, were not able to do so.
Jodie has since claimed that there is one person in particular who has it in for her and that their campaign is taking a toll on her mental health.
Opening up about the recent raid, Jodie said: ‘Everyone is very supportive but I have a troll who is out to cause trouble.

‘This campaign against me is taking its toll.’
She added to The Sun: ‘I have been forced to pull out of a vegan festival in Oxford this summer because of threats.’
Jodie explained that she brought the meerkat named Mabel, who needs feeding every hour, to the pub because she would ‘cry’ if she were to be left behind.
The ex-Celebrity Big Brother housemate insisted that nobody made a fuss or complained about the Meerkat being in the pub.

‘Meerkats cannot be left alone and do not do well alone, so in the first few weeks that I had her, I took her everywhere with me,’ she shared in an email posted to Instagram.
Jodie added that Mabel slept on her lap during their trip to the pub and stated that she was ‘never distressed’ there.
‘I used to wake her up to feed her and then she would snuggle up on my lap again. It is not illegal to take a meerkat in a pub and I did my best by her.’

The official website for the shelter claims that Jodie helped bring sick or injured animals ‘back from the brink of death’.
