Social media reacts to Rem’s statement
In more than 2,300 comments, Roomies weighed in on Remy’s words.
One user sympathized with the ‘Wake Me Up’ rapper. “I can’t imagine what she’s feeling,” @mamacita_nina wrote.
@darker_than_the_paperbag_ said, “I have my own problems. I’ll mind my own business.
A roommate shared her thoughts from a mother’s perspective. @adore.jvee said, “As a mother, you wouldn’t know what to do in this situation, honestly, especially if she really doesn’t know if he did it or not, but that maternal instinct is gone, always stand aside and protect your child no matter what.”
@_suckfreesi wrote, “And you already know that Papoose will still hold them like the rock he always was. It’s in moments like these that you realize who loves you versus who wants you.”
Although this was a very serious matter, some roommates came in with the jokes.
@asongcalledlifepodcast wrote, “The judge is going to read Jason spelled ‘JaySon’ and hit that gavel so hard it breaks the sound barrier.”
