Pimblett replied:
“Mark Zuckerberg. I’m sick of you. You know what I mean, I’m sick of you. Show my Instagram. For all I do is help charities, and help people with mental health problems. You are the biggest bully in the world.”

Paddy Pimblett discusses his battle with Instagram.
During the UFC London pre-fight press conference, Pimblett was questioned why his Instagram account was blocked.
‘The Baddy’ replied by criticising social media networks such as Instagram and Facebook for their hypocrisy. Instagram’s efforts to curb bullies and online trolls, according to Pimblett, were ineffectual.
Pimblett explained the events that led to his Instagram account being suspended:
“The lad had never been to a football match before and his dad just died so I wanted to do something nice for him. So, people started commenting disgusting things about him. So, I had back and forths with them and then the last one was for little baby Lee… He’s got brain tumor, cancer. He’s got all sorts of things wrong with him and he’s three years old. He’s got no hair because of all the chemotherapy and some absolute disgusting piece of sh*t commented something horrible about him. I’ve got morals… I reported the comment and I got it with a notification back twenty minutes later, ‘This comment does not go against our community guidelines so we will not remove it’. So, then I called him a piece of s**t. I said ‘You dirty piece of s**t. You are a piece of vermin on my shoe’ and the next day my account was disabled.”
