On Sunday, Oct. 20, the singer and songwriter declared his thoughts about X in a post on the social media platform. This is for sure the most toxic negative app to exist ever — PERIOD. lol,” he wrote. This place is different man, I always heard it was the Wild West on here but man it’s insane. It’s a safe place for everyone to say mean shit to each other with no consequences. I’m out lol.”

“My husband got off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his f–king weight,” she stated on her Dumb Blonde podcast. “And, like, that makes me want to cry because he is the sweetest angel baby. My husband doesn’t show it to you guys, but I’m gonna have a very vulnerable moment here — it hurts him. The internet can say whatever the f–k they want about you, and they say, ‘Well, you’re a celebrity, you’re supposed to be able to handle it.’ No the f–k we’re not.”
She continued to discuss her husband’s social media woes by pointing out the consequences of cyberbullying. “Do you know how many people kill themselves from being bullied a year?” she asked. “Like, enough is enough. Don’t bully people because you never know where they are mentally.”
