Jade (Roper) Tolbertis calling out trolls sending her rude messages about her daughterEmerson Avery‘s development.
“You all, these are NOT okay messages to send to people,” the formerBachelorcontestant said in one of herInstagram Storieson Thursday over a screengrab of a troll who said her daughter, who turns 2 in August, seemed to be showing signs of autism.
“If you all mean well, it’s still not ok to say she has Autism or needs speech therapy or to comment any sort of thing like that to anyone about their child,” the mother of one (andsoon to be two) continued. “We are her parents, we have a great pediatrician, and we know her development.”
“Comments like this really throw me for a loop,” she added.
In another post shared on her Instagram Stories, Jade continued to say that she believes there should be some more “etiquette” on the internet.
“I’m saying people would never come up to someone in public and say these things,” she said over another rude comment. “You don’t get to go rogue because you’re behind a keyboard.”
Jade defended Emerson’s development, saying that the soon-to-be big sister “knows plenty of words,” and that she doesn’t post content of her child for the internet’s criticism.

“She is not a monkey to dance for you,” she said.
“I’m just going to assume the people commenting these things are NOT parents, because they clearly don’t have a clue,” she concluded.
This isn’t the first time Jade has spoken out against online haters.
