“I did not sign up for this show, nor do I have anything to do with the show’s drama,” he wrote. “I just want to be a normal kid.”

He went on to say he was going private on Instagram and that, “…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."

On Tuesday, Beauvais tweeted, "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.”

RHOBH cast member Lisa Rinna posted her own statement on her Instagram story demanding that the cast member’s children be left alone.

“We are doing a TV. We try to entertain you—why can’t you treat it like wrestling for gods sakes love us —love to hate us,” Rinna wrote. “But leave the kids alone!”

Rinna went on to add that she’s heard about harassment regarding her own kids, Amelia and Delilah, as well as Kyle Richards’ daughter Portia and Erika Giaradi’s son Tommy.

“They didn’t sign up for this,” Rinna said, adding the kids should be off-limits.
