TheBacheloralum, 32, made headlines last week after sheblasted an Instagram userwho directed messaged her to tell her her daughter Emerson “Emmy” Avery, who turns 2 in August, seemed to be showing signs of autism.
“Somebody called out my daughter because she wasn’t speaking in these videos enough for them, and it really had nothing to do with whether she’s autistic or on the spectrum or not, or children who are, because I think all children are perfectly fine, whichever way they are,” she said.

“But it was just the etiquette. You would never say something that harsh that would hurt a person’s feelings or judge a child like that in public,” she continued. “So why would you come to somebody and put it in a DM where you know I could possibly read it? It does affect me as a parent.”
Husband Tanner chimed in to support his wife, tellingET, “If you won’t say something face to face to somebody, don’t say it online. That’s just a common rule of thumb.”

“I don’t know if I was just trying to make an example out of somebody, or I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning,” she joked.
Tolbert criticized the user on her Instagram Story Thursday, writing that she believed there should be “some sort of internet etiquette … you don’t get to go rogue because you’re behind a keyboard.”
