One tweeted: 'I hope you die painfully, remember what we did for you.' Another posted: 'Die, Judas.' The striker, who also played for Tottenham and Charlton Athletic is caught in the midst of a tapping up storm.
Bent reportedly wished to moved to the transfer list before completing his shocking move to Villa Park.
One fan warned about the reception Bent would get when he returns to the Stadium of Light: 'Look forward to seeing you return to the Stadium of Light next season, watch your back sunshine.'
Meanwhile, Aston Villa's Ashley Young welcomed the English striker and said he would help the bottom feeders rise up.
He said: 'Darren will bring a lot to Villa. He scores goals - that's number one in his game - but he brings other attributes too.
'But if you do look at his record in front of goal it's very, very impressive - he's the highest scorer behind only Wayne Rooney and Didier Drogba." he added.
'It's huge for us. He's a massive signing. Everyone is delighted that the club has been able to pull it off. I think he just wants to get his head down now - get into the training and into the games. Obviously I've come across him on international duty and know him really well. He's a top lad. I am sure he will add to what we've got here. He will fit in, no problem." Young said.
'It's easy for anyone to fit in at our place because we have a terrific team spirit and a real bond. He'll be comfortable straight away. He's looked sharp already - and he's only had one training session!' the Villa star concluded.
