In a since-deleted tweet, according to The Sun, DeJesus wrote on Twitter: “Taking anti-depressants once u realized u can’t always use the court room/color of ur skin to shut people up. High light of my life = having a loving family which un don’t have so I’ll always be winning.”
While the post has been deleted, Reddit users weighed in on the post. One person commended DeJesus, and wrote, “D*** briana is roasting kail’s a** and I f***ing love it.”
Another expressed being fed up with the feud: “Idk about anyone else but I’m sick and tired of the constant fighting between these two. It’s been the same damn argument for the past 3 or 4 years now. I’m bored with it. One of them (or both of them) needs to be the bigger person and just not engage with the drama.”
Others pointed out that DeJesus’ took a dig at Lowry’s family situation. “Ew @ Bri for trying to clown on kail for not having a loving family. You’re lucky bri. Lots of people don’t have that. It’s actually very sad and hard to deal with.”
