Awra Briguela Addresses “Bronny James” Comments
AWRA BRIGUELA – The TV personality has responded to online bashers who repeatedly call him “Bronny James,” referring to the American professional basketball player and son of LeBron James.
Through his Instagram broadcast channel, Awra expressed frustration over the nickname, saying that while he initially tried to ignore it, the constant teasing has become overwhelming. “As much as I want to ignore all the Bronny James comments—because honestly, I don’t really give a F. sometimes you guys go too far, spamming me with that comments. For what? To ruin my day or just to get noticed? Since you want attention, here you go,” he stated.
Awra made it clear that just because he chooses not to respond doesn’t mean he is unaffected. “This is a small reminder that everyone has their limits and boundaries. I always try to be kind and take the high road, but sometimes, some of you take things too far. If this happens again, especially from a student, I will not hesitate to report it, as I do not tolerate this kind of behavior,” he added.
In addition to calling out the behavior publicly, Awra directly messaged a netizen who had been mocking him. The individual later apologized and promised not to repeat their actions.
The comparisons stem from comments about Awra’s appearance, which he finds offensive. While he has tried to handle the situation with patience, he is now standing his ground against the ongoing mockery. By speaking out, Awra hopes to remind people to be more mindful of their words and to respect others’ personal boundaries.
