Twitter ALLEGES Diana Jenkins PAID Bots To Attack Garcelle Beauvais’ Minor Son Online!
Diana Jenkins has been accused of funding the vicious online bot attack on Garcelle Beauvais’ 14-year-old son, Jax Nilon.
Diana Accuses Garcelle of Bullying
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars have been clashing all season on the show, but Diana took it up a notch when she moved her seemingly unreasonable beef with Garcelle to social media. Earlier this month, the Bravo rookie took to Twitter to reveal a screenshot of a text message exchange she shared with Garcelle. She accused her co-star of ridiculing her for misspelling her name after she miscarried her baby. Garcelle hit back on Twitter, denying the allegation.
Diana Called Out
Diana Jenkins, 49, was called out by fans and followers for overreacting but she only doubled down, accusing Garcelle of bullying her over her accent and her miscarriage.
“Really? You are all actually ok with her mocking my spelling publicly from that message?” she wrote in a comment. “Neither of them could find something else to bully me on but my spelling my accent and my miscarriage. I am not surprised.”
Garcelle’s Son Is Attacked
Soon thereafter, a flood of fake accounts ambushed Garcelle’s teenage son on Instagram. The 14-year-old was hammered relentlessly with discriminatory and racist messages, which prompted both Garcelle and her RHOBH co-star, Lisa Rinna, to release statements denouncing the brutal cyberbullying.
“We are doing a tv show. We try to entertain you-why can’t you treat it like wrestling for gods sakes love us-love to hate us, but leave the kids alone,” Lisa Rinna wrote. “What I was just sent about @garcelle son is disgusting and unacceptable.”
Jax spoke out in a statement posted on Instagram by his mother, writing in part, “Middle aged women spamming me with racist and crude comments about my family is not what I expected for my first week of high school.”
Diana Issues Statement
Diana issued a statement condemning the behavior, but not before directing viewers to an article she penned over a decade ago. Fans swiftly put the Bravo star on blast for promoting her own self-interest ahead of the well-being of a child.
Twitter Accuses Diana
It didn’t take long for astute social media users to recognize a pattern in the vitriol aimed at Jax. Viewers began sounding off and have been slamming Diana for allegedly financing the cyberbullying ambush on Jax.
One fan wrote over a screenshot that captured a series of nasty comments, “Diana Jenkins hired a bunch of Karen bots to spam Garcelle’s 14yo son. Look at these disgusting comments. Usually I’d cover their names but since they’re just bots, go after them.”
Another viewer wrote, “It’s disgusting Diana paid for these bot accounts to harass Garcelle‘s son. How would she feel if somebody did that to her kid?”
A third tweeted, “Garcelle’s son Jax is receiving hate comments on his Instagram. These are all bot accounts too. Looking at each profile none of these accounts are real people. Someone paid to have this done. Probably the social media warriors Lisa or Diana. Very SUS.”
One fan wrote,“I KNOW Diana Jenkins is behind that troll farm that came for Garcelle’s son. Those are not real accounts and only one housewife pays for bots… Madame Diane”
Another chimed in, “Most of those accounts under Garcelle’s son were created recently and all have like 10+ pics that were posted on the same day! Definitely bots by Diana.”
Interestingly, the manufactured bot storm immediately calmed after Bravo issued a statement, addressing the issue.
The network wrote, “We urge our viewers and social followers to refrain from targeting our cast and their families with harmful rhetoric.”
Bots Leave Favorable Comments For Diana
Fans have also pointed out that Diana has been enjoying a seemingly bot-fueled surge of support on her own Instagram account.
One user pointed out, “Someone is paying for bots to attack Garcelle‘s 14 year old son on instagram in support of Diana & Erika, while also calling Oliver a drug addict. Weird that we’re also seeing huge droves of support on Diana‘s page.. seemingly also from bots.. must be a coincidence..??”
A change.org petition has also been launched to push Bravo to investigate “a targeted bot attack towards Garcelle’s son.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 pm, ET, on Bravo.
