California Resident Identified For Racist BOT Attack On Garcelle Beauvais’ Son
California Resident Identified For Racist BOT Attack On Garcelle Beauvais’ Son
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Diana Jenkins’ investigators have uncovered the identities of those responsible for the online racist attacks of her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star, Garcelle Beauvais’ 14-year-old son, Jax Nilon.
RadarOnline.com reports that Diana Jenkins’ attorneys have pinpoint the IP address and phone number of a Northern California resident as the culprit behind the Instagram account “queenofthetea_,” which posted racist comments on Jax’s Instagram account in August.
“You’d have your neck kneeled on if it weren’t for your white daddy,” said a message linked to the account “queenofthetea_.” “Tell your mom to leave Diana alone or you’ll deal with us.”
Back in September, the Room 23 author and her legal team filed a motion with the court for permission to issue subpoenas to Instagram (META), to obtain personal data of specific Instagram accounts.
Some of the records obtained from META were connected to foreign IP addresses, a sign that whoever sent them took steps to mask their identity. But the “queenofthetea_” account was linked to an IP address and telephone number in California.
“Diana is absolutely thrilled by this news,” the source tells the outlet. “She cannot wait to get concrete proof so that the person behind the attack can be identified publicly and held accountable for their despicable conduct.”
Next steps, Diana’s lawyers will subpoenas the internet provider and telephone company for information of the person whose name is associated with those accounts to confirm the individual responsible for the BOT attack on Garcelle’s minor son.
Diana launched the investigation after many RHOBH fans and Garcelle Beauvais herself accused the RHOBH newbie of being responsible for the attacks.
Diana Jenkins revealed a screenshot of a text message exchange she shared with Garcelle, accusing her co-star of ridiculing her for misspelling her name after she miscarried her baby. Garcelle hit back on Twitter, denying the allegation. The Bravo newbie 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.
Soon thereafter, a flood of fake accounts (BOTS) ambushed Garcelle’s son on Instagram, and hammered the teen relentlessly with discriminatory and racist messages.
Diana issued a statement condemning the behavior, but not before directing viewers to an article she penned over a decade ago. Fans immediately put the Bravo star on blast for promoting her own self-interest and accused her of allegedly financing the cyberbullying ambush on Jax.
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 filed a civil lawsuit to clear her name and unmask those responsible for the bot attack on the teenager.
Diana said, “It is wrong to send racist and bullying messages to a fourteen-year-old boy. It is wrong to deceive the public into believing an innocent woman is responsible for sending these messages. And it is wrong to mastermind this hateful campaign in anonymity.”
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is currently on hiatus.
