Jonathan Scott posted an inspiring message on Saturday to support the estimated half-million women who participated in the Women’s March on Washington, with the post appearing on his various social media accounts.
While many of the “Property Brothers” star’s fans chimed in with their support, others used the opportunity to hurl nasty remarks at those commenters during this polarizing political time.
Scott, however, is not having it. To shut down the negativity, he posted a video on social media, writing: “For those of you incessantly cyber bullying…”
“Think back to when you were a child and your parents taught you that if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it at all. I have no idea what happened to that,” says Scott in the video.
“Because I read all of your posts. And fortunately, most of our fans are incredible and they have insightful comments, and I love sharing their stories and that’s great. But we also have people who are cruel and angry and no matter what, they just have something negative to say. This is not the place for that. Not to mention that we have a lot of kids who read these posts actively,” he adds.

“When your parents were teaching you that message they were not suggesting that you have to always conform,” Scott continues. “There’s a big difference between having a different opinion and always trying to pick a fight.”
He concludes: “My social media is a place for all of us to inspire each other and build each other up, and there’s no need to try to tear us apart and always attack other fans.” Watch:
