Hilda Baci Condemns Online Bullying of 15-Year-Old Brother Over Viral Video
Celebrity chef Hilda Baci has spoken out against online bullying targeted at her 15-year-old brother after a Snapchat video of the pair was reposted across platforms and used to mock him.
This was disclosed in a statement on X (formally twitter), stating that she never expected a lighthearted clip with her brother to be taken from her Snapchat, circulated widely, and turned into an excuse to bully a child.
She criticised adults who altered images of a minor and publicly ridiculed him, stressing that her brother did nothing except appear in a funny video with her.

Baci described her brother as kind and loved, adding that hateful remarks or edited photos would not change who he is.
She urged social media users to remember that a real teenager is reading their comments and called on people to do better.
“I never imagined that a lighthearted video with my 15-year-old brother would be taken from my Snapchat, reposted across different platforms, and turned into an excuse to bully a child,” Baci wrote.
“If your idea of entertainment is tearing down a child, then that’s a reflection of your character, not his,” she added.
“He’s kind. He’s loved. He’s growing, learning, and becoming the amazing young man I know he will be. No hateful comment or edited photo will ever change that.”
“I hope, before you type another insult or share another edited image, you remember that there is a real teenager on the other side of your screen reading what you write. Do better,” she said.
