Erica Jane denies hiring bots to “attack” Garcel Beauve’s son Jax

Jax, meanwhile, addressed the hate being sent his way in a note Garcel shared on her social media on August 24.

“It’s my first week of high school and instead of enjoying it like most of the kids at my school, I’m having to deal with being attacked on social media,” the post read. “I did not sign up for this show and I have nothing to do with the drama of the show. I just want to be a normal kid.”

And like a lot of normal kids, he has an Instagram — one that’s “not for the publicity or the public eye,” Jax continued, “but for my peers to see him as just another kid.” However, now that he’s being bombarded with cruel comments, Jax said he’s making the account private even though he “really wanted to avoid it.”

“The constant support from everyone makes it much more bearable,” he added. “However, middle-aged women spamming me with racist and rude comments about my family is not something I expected in my first week of high school. Thanks for all the positive comments. It really means a lot to me.”
