'Little People, Big World's Zach and Tori Roloff Send a Bold Message About Critics of Viral Video
Little People, Big World stars Zach and Tori Roloff recently posted a fun video featuring themselves and their three kids. But recently, the TLC couple sent a bold message to critics after the clip went viral.
In the most recent episode of their Raising Heights podcast, Tori and Zach addressed the slew of negative comments they received from an Aug. 17 Instagram post. The video showed the reality stars dancing with their children—Jackson, 7, Lilah, 4, and Josiah, 2—who all have achondroplasia dwarfism like their father.
"Tori and me had a viral post recently," Zach said on their podcast. "Literally we're having a great family night...We're like let's go upstairs and make a Reel. We just throw it on social media, and the next thing you know it's like wild."
"But the comments on it, there's so many negative comments," Zach added.
Examples of nasty messages included, "Stop reproducing," "Why would she willingly keep having kids if they’re gonna look like this?" and "From 1 problem to 3 problems."
Zach explained that he neither responds to negative comments nor is he "necessarily affected by" them. The father of three also discouraged fans from defending them in the comments.
"If you go to those profiles they're zero profiles—they aren't real profiles," he said. "Also, people do stuff for attention. Those negative comments get the most likes, which is sad."
He also pointed out, "A lot of times, it's people bored, wanting attention, wanting a reaction. They have their own issues."
Similarly, Tori added, "You can't live your life by what people are saying about you online," describing the internet as a "cesspool of evil."
