On Kandi Burruss’ Daughter, Riley’s Media Experience
For some weeks now, several Housewives have written statements condemning the constant bullying of castmate’s children online. Kandi also shared her contempt for the online hate. During an exclusive interview with People, the 46-year-old mum revealed that her daughter, Riley, was also bullied by Bravo viewers. She stated:
“Everybody already knows that Riley dealt with her weight issues growing up in the public eye. People would make comments on her body and say things about her personal look and it really boils my blood.”
Kandi shared that just last week, “Somebody was posting [that] Riley was pregnant, and she was so upset about it.” The Old Lady Gang boss stated how she feels about the constant harassment “I despise it. It bothers me so much.” Kandi’s grievances were born of fellow housewife Garcelle Beauvais’ son’s recent experience. The mom-of-three also shared that she reached out to fellow castmate Garcelle Beauvais as one of her 14-year-old twins, Jax, has been facing constant online bullying.
What Has The Network Behind ‘RHOBH’ Done About The Constant Bullying?
In the heat of the overwhelming hateful comments trolls directed at Garcelle Beauvais’ son, Jax, the network behind the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills shared a statement last week on various social media channels. The statement read:
“We are shocked and appalled at the social comments directed at Garcelle’s son. We urge our viewers and social followers alike to refrain from targeting our cast and their families with hateful rhetoric.”
Before the network sent out its statement, Garcelle shared a response Jax wrote concerning the hateful comments directed at him. Jax wrote about how he was still a kid and wanted to be viewed as one.
He stated that his first week of high school had been about dealing with hateful online comments, unlike his mates. The 14-year-old pleaded, “I just want to be a normal kid” and concluded the message by showing his appreciation to supportive fans.
