Jeremy Kyle guest who sells her body to feed her heroin addiction cruelly attacked by viewers
Jezza guest Tara has been using drugs since she was eight-years-old
A GUEST on today’s episode of Jeremy Kyle has felt the full wrath of online trolls… who claim she is too much of a "state" to be a prostitute.
The worrying segment featured drug user Tara, 35, who claimed she started selling her body to pay for heroin at just 15-years-old.
Concerned mum Mary had brought her struggling daughter onto the Jeremy Kyle show in the hopes of getting her clean.
Desperate Mary admitted that she was so worried about her daughter’s health that she’d already picked out her coffin and gravestone in preparation for her death.
The mum also revealed that her daughter had been begging her for cash, as well as robbing jewellery and money from her house.
Tara’s drug abuse began when she was just eight-years-old, when she used to sniff gas.
Tragically, the 35-year-old's addiction escalated, and she soon turned to cocaine and heroin.
In order to fund her addiction, Tara began selling herself for cash.
Confiding to Jezza, Tara admitted that some of her sexual encounters were so horrific that she’d been beaten up and gang raped.
Insisting that “enough is enough”, mum Mary and Jeremy sent Tara off to rehab for 12 weeks in hopes that the treatment would help her get her life back on track.
Despite the emotional nature of the segment, viewers were quick to mock Tara because of her appearance.
One Twitter user asked: “OMG who would pay for sex with that? You’d have to have a Zombie fetish.”
Another commented: “If I had to pay for sex off that I’d ask for my money back.”

One Twitter user said: "Please help that girl Jezza, I find it really sad."
Another agreed: “As someone who has lost family members to drugs, today’s #jeremykyle show is heartbreaking.”
After the segment aired, the official Jeremy Kyle Twitter page revealed that Tara hadn’t completed the rehabilitation program.
A tweet read: “Despite leaving rehab after three weeks, Tara says she is now living a drug free life. We wish her all the best for her future.”
