The Valley's Janet Caperna flees the US and locks down her social media accounts after death threats from viewers
One of Bravo's most controversial stars has left the US and locked down her social media accounts after getting death threats from viewers.
Janet Caperna, who is the main antagonist on The Valley, fled to Switzerland with husband Jason and their 18-month-old son Cameron this week.
The 35-year-old also locked down her Instagram page due to relentless trolling and death threats towards both herself and her child from fans of the show.
In screenshots provided to DailyMail.com, online trolls are seen attacking Janet and her family in a series of vile messages.
'I hope you rot like you deserve,' wrote one. 'I hope your child grows up absolutely hating you.'
Another wrote, 'I know where you live. I've seen where your son goes when you're not with him.'
When contacted by DailyMail.com for comment, Janet said that she was speaking out about the abuse to highlight how serious online trolling has become.

'I'm sick of threats and slurs being normalized because "we signed up for this when we joined reality TV."
'That's sick and not normal and I'm not ever going to pretend it's normal or acceptable to message strangers threats and slurs,' she said.
'It's sad to me that people go this far, it's definitely the worst part about this "job,"' she continued.
'I'm learning how to put boundaries on social media in place and learning as I go. I support healthy dialogue around reality TV and think some of the best conversations about modern culture stem from shows like ours.
'I'm far from perfect, and people are seeing the best and worst of all of us when we put our lives in front of cameras. My hope is people can have fun conversations about reality TV without going as far as some have recently.'
The former celebrity assistant also went into detail about some of the vile threats she's received on the latest episode of her podcast, This Side of the Hill.
'I'm gonna read a couple and they're really just not nice,' her podcast co-host Jared Lipscomb said.

One troll claimed to know where Janet lives and where her young son goes
Another fan of the show wished death on Janet and told her to die and 'drown in a sewer'
Another Bravo fan hoped Janet and her son would be killed in an accident
'I hope you die a slow and painful death, you are so ugly. Are you actually a man? You are evil and I wish death upon you, you piece of s**t,' read one.
Another message said, 'It's a shame your son is still breathing you little [n-word] lover.'
Janet then explained that one of her most dedicated trolls had looked up the names of her family members online and then sent her hateful messages about them.
'This isn't constructive criticism,' Janet said. 'I understand that I put my life out there and I'm gonna get comments, good and bad, this isn't that,' she said.
Both Janet and Jared also said that they were shocked to see that the majority of the hateful comments were coming from seemingly 'normal and sweet' women.
One woman that threatened Janet was a successful family photographer, while another woman had photos of herself being a mom to her young son.
'It makes me wonder, how many people throughout my day am I interacting with that are like this behind closed doors?' she asked.
'Like, when I'm checking out at the grocery store, is that person messaging someone that they don't like hate like this?'
'That's sick and not normal and I'm not ever going to pretend it's normal or acceptable to message strangers threats and slurs,' Janet told DailyMail.com
Janet also alluded to one of her co-stars, who she referred to as a former friend, interacting with negative comments about her online.
'I had a former friend who responded to someone's comment questioning the safety of my child, questioning whether I had a drinking problem,' she said.
'This former friend decided to respond with a laughing, jokey emoji and I'm so disappointed in that,' she continued.
She appeared to be referring to Doute, who has been interacting with negative comments about Janet on Instagram and Threads.
Meanwhile, The Valley is nearing the end of its explosive second season and preparing to start filming season three soon.
On social media, there have been calls from viewers to fire both Janet and longtime villain Jax Taylor.
While Janet's ongoing feuds with Kristen Doute, Nia Sanchez and Danny Booko have rubbed viewers the wrong way, Jax has disturbed the fanbase through his actions towards estranged wife Brittany Cartwright.
In one episode, it was revealed that Jax had been spying on Brittany through security cameras in her home.
He also send her dozens of 'rage texts' from rehab where he was being treated for mental health issues and a cocaine addiction.
While no casting decisions have been made, DailyMail.com understands that production are looking to expand the cast rather than fire people.

'Fans on social media are always calling for controversial people to be fired and it's usually to the detriment of the show,' one insider revealed.
'The network is worried that if they get rid of all the villains then the show will suffer, so they're leaning towards expanding the cast rather than reducing it,' they continued.
'The current cast have all submitted their friends to production and interviews are well underway.
'A bigger friend group will be more dynamic and nobody is going to have to film with people that they don't want to be around,' they added.
The Valley is currently airing on Bravo and available to stream on Peacock.
