Fans react to Garcelle Beauvais implying on her WWHL appearance that Diana Jerkins was responsible for the online attacks against her son

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais recently joined Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live (WWHL), where one of the things that they spoke about was one of the biggest topics of reality TV universe last year.

During season 12 of the Bravo's RHOBH, Garcelle’s son (who is a minor), was subjected to racially motivated attacks online. While the cast of the show took a firm stand against the attacks and publicly condemned the people behind them, Garcelle believed that the attacks were started by someone within the show.

During her WWHL appearance, Andy Cohen asked Garcelle if she heard from Diana Jerkins, who had stated at the time that she was going to launch an investigation to find out who was responsible during the RHOBH season 12 reunion. Garcelle denied, stating that Jerkins never got in touch with her. Andy further enquired whether they made any progress in the investigation, to which the RHOBH star replied with:

"No, we came close but in the end, no. But in my heart of hearts, I know who’s behind it, but I will never say it publicly," she said.

When Andy Cohen asked whether she thought it was Diana, she initially said “no” and then added that she thinks multiple people were behind it. Garcelle further added that at the season 12 reunion, she accused other people but it was never shown:

"It only showed Diana so therefore — ooh, I said her name, said the RHOBH cast member," Garcelle continued.

Fans took to social media to slam Garcelle for her WWHL comments and wrote that “she’s a liar and a fraud.”

Jax Nilon issued a statement in light of the attacks

Last year, following the hateful attacks against Jax Nilon, who was only 14 years old at the time, Garcelle Beauvais took to social media to share a message on behalf of her son. The message read that he is still a kid and that he didn’t wish to be viewed as a “fully matured adult” since he wasn’t one.

It continued:

"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."
