Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed seem to have a problem with fans bashing the "Twilight" star on Instagram over the weekend.
Somerhalder apparently rescued his current girlfriend from harsh comments on Instagram.
E! News reported that two people used his profile on Instagram to comment against his girl Reed.
"You HATE NIKKI REED? Really? Do you know her? Hmmm, I'm not sure that you do. Look on her Instagram feed or twitter and all you will see is a compassionate and beautiful human being," Somerhalder wrote on his Instagram account.
He added: "Please put your negative energy elsewhere. You don't even know the person you're talking about."
The "Vampire Diaries" star also asked his fans not to talk trash about his new significant other, and just "be happy" for him.
"Do you care about me? Ask yourself that question," Somerhalder posted, according to E! News.
"What's the answer? Is it yes? If it is-then please be happy for me. Stop this nonsense-you're spreading horrible energy into the world ... Do some research of the person you say sucks or you HATE. You'll find that she's a magical person doing great things in the world."
After all what he had said, the actor wrapped it up: "I'm sickened and saddened by the fans' response to all this. Many fans have stood up people like you and tried to empower you with some compassion. If we all thought a little or [learned] a little about people before we spoke about them, the world wouldn't be so upside down and in the worst place in history. If you hate Nikki then you must hate me...That's sad. Have an amazing day!"
According to Daily News, these Reed-bashing anonymous users might be some fans holding grudge due to his past relationship with Nina Dobrev, his co-star in "Vampire Diaries".
Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed divulged their relationship status only in July. Reports said the two have moved in together.
The 26-year-old actress separated from Paul McDonald in May after two years of being married.
Somerhalder, 35, and Dobrev ended their relationship in May last year.
