Garcelle Beauvais’ teenage son Jax has revealed racist messages Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans sent him on social media because of his mom’s clashes with her castmates on the Bravo series.
Jax is one of Beauvais’ 14-year-old twin sons featured on the series. He posted a video on his Instagram Story Tuesday showing vile comments from RHOBH viewers, including a death threat.
The hateful comments described Beauvais, 55, as “fame hungry” and “desperate,” according to screengrabs captured by the Daily Beast. The comments came in response to disputes Beauvais’ had with her co-stars Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne and Diana Jenkins on the reality show.
“Tell your mom to leave Erika, Lisa Rinna, and Diana alone,” one person wrote.

Another comment blamed Beauvais for the recent cancellation of her daytime talk show, The Real.
“Garcelle, The Real was cancelled because of you. Please don’t [sic] RHOBH be cancelled as well,” the comment said.
Someone else directed a vile message at Jax’s older brother Oliver, who previously struggled with addiction.
“Your mom calling Erika an alcoholic when your older brother was a drug addict. Pot calling the kettle black,” the comment said.
“Why is your mom obsessed with Erika’s alcohol intake, shouldn’t she be worried about your brother Oliver[‘s] drug intake instead?” another bitter fan wrote.
But there was one comment that Jax captioned went “too far at this point.” The racist post suggested the biracial teen should be treated the same way as George Floyd, who died in 2020 when a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck.
“You’d have your neck kneeled on if it weren’t for your white daddy, [Hollywood manager Michael Nilon]. Tell your mom to leave Diana alone or you’ll deal with us,” the comment read.

Garcelle responded to the comments with a post on Twitter.
“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!” she tweeted Tuesday.
“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,” she added.
Rinna also chimed in via her Instagram Stories, telling fans to “leave the kids alone!”
“We are doing a TV show,” she wrote. “We try to entertain you — why can’t you treat it like wrestling for gods sakes love us — love to hate us but leave the kids alone!”
On Wednesday night, Bravo issued a statement on Twitter condemning the attacks on Jax.
“We are shocked and appalled at the social comments directed at Garcelle’s son,” the statement read. “We urge our viewers and social followers alike to refrain from targeting our cast and their families with harmful rhetoric.”
