'RHOBH’ Star Diana Jenkins Sues Bots For Cyberbullying Garcelle Beauvais’ Son

Rumors allege that Jenkins is the person behind the online bots.

Real Housewives of Beverly HillsDiana Jenkins filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles with the hopes to expose the reckless bots who cyberbullied co-star Garcelle Beauvais’ 14-year-old son Jax.

According to Page Six, Jenkins, who is being accused of being behind the cyber attacks, filed the suit on Thursday (Sept. 8).

“Dozens, if not hundreds, of people have posted messages attacking Ms. Jenkins for an act that she never took,” Jenkins’ lawyers said in an official lawsuit. “This action is the only way Ms. Jenkins has to fight back against the anonymous coward who decided to put her reputation, livelihood and life in jeopardy.”

BET.com previously reported Beauvais shared a message from one of her twin sons after he received several racist comments from RHOBH viewers online.

On Wednesday (Aug. 24), Beauvais posted a note from one of her 14-year-old twins who responded to the harsh comments he has been receiving since the airing of the 12th season of the reality tv show franchise.

“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. 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,” he wrote.

“I just want to be a normal kid,” he added, “not for publicity nor the public's gaze.”

Bravo also issued a statement amid the controversy.

“We are shocked and appalled at the social comments directed at Garcelle’s son,” the network wrote. “We urge our viewers and social followers alike to refrain from targeting our cast and their families with harmful rhetoric.”
