This Is Us star Lonnie Chavis has a message for trolls who have somethin' to say about his gap.
The 10-year-old posted an Instagram video to address people who have been commenting on the gap between his front teeth. But, instead of getting emotional or throwing insults, Chavis took them to task for being bullies.
"I could get my gap fixed," Chavis said. "Braces can fix this, but like, can you fix your heart, though? There are kids out there killing themselves just because of y’all hating and trolling and doing just crazy stuff. I mean, it’s stupid. Is it fun? No. It hurts people."
He said he could handle the jabs but worried about the kids who might not be as strong and gave them some encouraging advice.
"Fix your heart, though. For real," Chavis continued. "I’m happy that I can handle this. I can handle this. I’m not tripping. But there are kids out here — if y’all kids are watching this, don’t trip. Be who you want to be. Do what you want to do. Do you. Be you. Believe in yourself."
Well said, youngin.
