Enough is enough.
Garcelle Beauvais’ son Jax is speaking out after he received “racist” comments from “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” fans amid his mom’s feud with Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne and Diana Jenkins.
Beauvais shared her 14-year-old’s statement on her Instagram Story Wednesday after he made his account private.
“From Jax … Well I’d like to start off by saying I am still a kid and wish to not be viewed as a fully matured adult, because I am not one,” his statement began. “It is currently my first week of high school and, instead of enjoying it like most kids at my school, I have to deal with being attacked on social media.”
The teenager went on to note that he “did not sign for this show, nor do I have anything to do with the show’s drama.”
“I just want to be a normal kid,” he pleaded, before adding that his Instagram account is not for “publicity or the public’s gaze but to be seen” by his peers as a regular kid.
Despite not wanting to set his Instagram page private, he was forced to after “middle aged women” spammed him with “racist and crude comments” about his family.
“Thank you for all the positive comments. It truly means a lot to me,” he concluded.
Bravo was also forced to release a statement on Wednesday, which read, “We are shocked and appalled at the social comments directed at Garcelle’s son.
“We urge our viewers and social media followers to refrain from targeting our cast and their families with harmful rhetoric.”
Just yesterday, Jax shared a few of the comments he received on his most recent post, which ranged from calling his family “immigrants” to accusing Beauvais of “using race for everything.”
Many of the comments focused on his 31-year-old brother, Oliver, who previously struggled with addiction.
“Your mom calling Erika [an] alcoholic when your older brother was a drug addict. Pot calling the kettle black,” read one message.
“Why is your mom obsessed with Erika’s alcohol intake, shouldn’t she be worried about your brother Oliver[‘s] drug intake instead?” another user wrote.
However, one particular comment took things too far as the person wrote, “You’d have your neck kneeled on if it weren’t for your white daddy, [Michael Nilon]. Tell your mom to leave Diana alone or you’ll deal with us.”
Earlier that same day, Beauvais slammed social media users for their cruel comments.
“I’m usually a very strong woman I’ve been raised to be strong my life has taught me to be strong but when it comes to my kids!” the reality star tweeted. “It hurts it’s not OK.
“I’ve been in tears all night it’s just a TV show people scream at your TV throw something at your TV but leave our kids alone,” she continued.
Rinna also spoke out via Instagram Stories, telling fans to “leave the kids alone!”
The former model wrote, “What I was just sent about @garcelle son is disgusting and unacceptable. … They didn’t sign up for this. What are [you] doing?! The kids – all of our kids should be off limits so stop it now. Enough is enough.”
Despite their feud, the two women managed to come together to get their message across.
