Brandi Redmond‘s love for her 10-year-old daughterBrooklynis strong, especially in the face of online hate.
On Tuesday’s episode ofRHOD, Redmond revealed she was butting heads with Brooklyn, claiming her daughter had been “lashing out” and giving her “so much attitude.”
A mother-daughter shopping trip showed some of their conflict, leading commenters online to criticize Brooklyn — calling her “manipulative,” “disrespectful” and “a verbally abusive brat.” Others slammed Redmond for her parenting style,with one saying, “[Brandi] taught her zero manners. Lazy parenting 101.”

All of that led Redmond, who is also a mother to 7-year-old daughterBrinkley, to defend her firstborn.
“As I’m writing this I’m in tears,” Redmond added. “You can say anything you want to about me but not children. Who knew so many people could be so hurtful and judgmental.”
TheBrandi Land ownerwent on say, “I don’t always get the parenting thing right and children are not always perfect but my love for my children is undeniable. Those who truly know my family know Brooklyn. She’s a blessing.”
“Thank you for watching and to those of you who can relate, sending love,” Redmond said. “Those who’vegot this all figured out, whereis your NY Times Best Seller?”

On Tuesday’sRHODepisode, Redmond said that she was worried the attention she had been giving son Bruin —whom she adopted last year, after his birth on Dec. 31, 2017 — was upsetting Brooklyn.
“Bruin takes up a lot of my attention and time and I can see how that’s frustrating to Brooklyn,” said Redmond who, to deal with Brooklyn’s attitude, had been trying different things, like the shopping trip.
Although it took a while, Brooklyn did appear to warm up to Redmond at the clothing store. “I’m guilty of bribery,” the star said. “Maybe she’ll like me for at least 5 minutes. Maybe 10 if I’m lucky. Who said you can’t buy love?!”
