The man unmasked as the creator of brutal gossip forum Tattle Life hails from a very comfortable background in the West Country, MailOnline can reveal.

Vegan influencer Sebastian Bond’s retired parents, former company director Henry Bond, 76, and his wife Sheila, 75, live in a £500,000 detached four-bedroomed house in Glastonbury, Somerset with no mortgage, official records show.

Their plush home was used in documents when their son set up one of his companies, Kumquat Tree Limited, in February 2024.

In a historic libel case against Bond, who was found to have run the 'toxic' Tattle Life platform where users could anonymously post nasty and defamatory comments about people in the public eye, a judge said that Kumquat Tree Limited had received money generated from the site.

Bond, 41, dubbed 'The King of Trolls', who is believed to be living somewhere in the Far East after losing a devastating libel case, in which damages of £300,000 were awarded against him, is the third of the Bonds’ four children.
