Garcelle Beauvais is speaking out after social media trolls crossed the line by sending her 14-year-old son inappropriate direct messages online. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) star took to both Instagram and Twitter with her grievances on Tuesday (Aug. 23).
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! 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 #RHOBH

“I’m usually a very strong woman,” Garcelle told her supporters and critics. “I’ve been raised to be strong my life has taught me to be strong but when it comes to my kids! It hurts. It’s not OK,” she added. “I’ve been in tears all night,” Garcelle told her fans and foes. “It’s just a TV show, people. Scream at your TV, throw something at your TV, but leave our kids alone.”
Garcelle Beauvais and her sons have been under the microscope this season on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH). It was just a few weeks ago that co-star Erika Jayne was filmed while cursing at Garcelle’s son, Jax. The teen was retrieving a vase when Erika spoke to him in such a harsh tone.
“What are you doing here,” Jayne asked Jax. The teen did not respond but rather continued to do as instructed. “Get the f–k out of here,” Jayne, who was intoxicated at the time, told Jax. “Get the f–k out of here before you get in trouble,” she exclaimed.
Garcelle Beauvais later praised all of her sons for being respectful young men. “This is an appreciation post for my sons Oliver, Jax, and Jaid,” Garcelle wrote to her sons. “You boys make me so proud,” the actress continued. “You are loving, kind, and respectful. You show respect to people even when they don’t deserve it. Respect is a reflection of your character, not theirs.”
Beauvais received support after expressing her feelings about adults crossing the line with her children on Tuesday. “It’s just funny how you’ve stated your boundaries numerous times and people who seem to love talking about what is ‘off-limits’ [to] test those boundaries so consistently,” one Twitter follower said.
“It’s very hard not to see this as targeted harassment … towards a CHILD who did nothing wrong,” another supporter shared. “It’s sad and heartbreaking.”
