Adele targeted by internet taunts over birth of son Adele is the latest celebrity to become the victim of cruel internet taunts following the birth of her son this weekend. Vile comments were posted on Twitter and Facebook about the singer's weight, and some speculated over the health of the child and made cruel jokes about the singer having plenty of material for her new album if her baby died or if she was to suffer post-natal depression. One tweeted: 'Aw Adele gave birth to a baby. Is it fat and handicapped lol? Just murder it already lol. Adele has since deleted her account. Other celebrities to have been victims of internet abuse include X Factor judge Gary Barlow, who found himself the target of cruel messages after the death of his baby daughter. And Olympic diver Tom Daley was taunted over his father's death during the Games after it was claimed that his father would have been disappointed by his performance. Meanwhile, to be with her son, Adele will reportedly skip the premiere of the new James Bond film Skyfall - for which she sung the official theme song - tomorrow evening at London's Royal Albert Hall.
