Briana DeJesus on Dealing With Negativity Online: ‘It’s Bad Sometimes’
DeJesus’s March Instagram Story is not the first time the Florida native has opened up about the challenges of showing her life of reality TV.
In an October 2020 interview with the Associated Press, DeJesus spoke candidly about dealing with negativity on social media after appearing on “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom 2.”
“I try to look on the bright side not so much the negative side but it’s bad sometimes,” she told the outlet. “The stuff that you read on Reddit, and Instagram comments, and Twitter…it’s really messed up.”
Briana said she protects her mental health by staying away from negativity online.
“The moment I see something negative on Twitter, I will block that person,” she said. “I don’t Google myself…I try to stay away from all the negative blogs that are out there.”
“It has helped me tremendously,” she told the outlet.
