In April, Simone shared that the ongoing backlash against her husband had “broken her down” in the past. She said she shed tears because she couldn't “clap back,” but it seems like the recent comments have pushed our good sister over the edge!
Meanwhile, Jonathan backed up his wife's reaction by reposting it on his Instagram Story with a little sauce of his own.
