He continued, “She’s maybe not doing a great job idk I don’t watch the show but I don’t like that I’m seeing so much negative s**t on my page or even clips of it about her…It’s not my job to police her or the people in my comments, but I will say what you guys do will affect her mental health and my daughter’s maybe in the future…“So I’m looking out for her in that aspect. Out of respect for our daughter.”
