usmagazine.com:

Enough is enough. After Garcelle Beauvais’ son Jax Nilon was harassed online with hateful messages, Bravo slammed viewers for their actions, encouraging better treatment of its stars.The backlash began when the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 55, took to social media on Tuesday, August 24, explaining via Twitter that she is “a very strong woman” but was “in tears all night” over the harassment her son Jax received online during season 12.“It’s just a TV show people scream at your TV throw something at your TV but leave our kids alone,” she concluded her message, also reposting a screenshot of the Instagram.Jax was featured on RHOBH last month when Erika Jayne yelled at him during his mother’s birthday party, telling him “get the f–k out.”“It’s an unfortunate that that had to happen,” the White House Down star told Us Weekly exclusively in July. “That’s really tough.

That’s definitely crossing the line for sure. No Doubt.”The hate directed toward Beauvais and her family comes amid the former Real cohost’s ongoing feud with Jayne, Lisa Rinna and Diana Jenkins.

Rinna, 59, however, was the first to speak out in defense of Jax, revealing she related to the post.The Melrose Place alum followed Beauvais’ statement on Tuesday by speaking out against the hate her two daughters — Delilah, 24, and Amelia, 21 — have received online.

The reality star told Bravo fans to “treat it like wrestling” and to “leave the kids alone,” continuing to name several instances when viewers made negative comments about other RHOBH children, including Jayne’s son, Tommy Zizzo, receiving “threats.”A day later, Beauvais shared an Instagram Story reposting a message from Jax — one of her 14-year-old twins whom she shares with ex Michael Nilon.
