Jess Carter thanked England fans for their support after facing racial abuse on social media during Euro 2025. She decided to step away from social media due to the harmful online comments directed at her. Carter stated that speaking up against the abuse aimed at her is important, even if it doesn’t lead to immediate change. She confirmed that racism continues to be an issue while focusing on her and her team's performance. In solidarity, her teammates supported her during the match against Italy, and MPs urged social media companies to act against such abuse.
Carter said on Sunday that she was stepping away from social media, because of what her teammates labelled as online poison aimed at her throughout this tournament.
I totally understand everyone has got their own opinions on how we play. Trust me, no one is more disappointed in some of my performances than what I am, but the colour of my skin has got nothing to do with that.
Racism is still going on and we're just here to do our job to the best of our ability and hopefully bring success back to England.
91 members of parliament had added their names to his call for the major social media companies to take serious action to combat what they called the appalling racism and misogyny directed at Carter.
