Hilda Baci Condemns Online Bullying of Her 15-Year-Old Brother

Celebrity chef Hilda Baci has spoken out against online trolls who mocked and bullied her 15-year-old brother, David, after a video of them together went viral on social media.

According to Hilda, the clip was originally shared on her Snapchat as a fun and harmless moment between siblings. However, it was reposted on other platforms, where some users turned it into an opportunity to ridicule the teenager.

She alleged that some people went as far as editing her brother’s photos to make him appear bigger, simply to generate jokes and attract attention online.

Expressing her disappointment, Hilda said it was disturbing that adults were targeting a child who had done nothing wrong except appear in a playful video with his sister.

In a post on her X account, she wrote:

“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. Some of you have left cruel comments. Others have gone as far as editing his photos to make him look bigger just to get a few laughs.”

She continued by condemning those responsible for the attacks, saying the behaviour reflected more on the trolls than on her brother.

“Adults are editing the image of a 15-year-old boy and publicly mocking him. My brother did nothing except exist in a funny video with his sister. If your idea of entertainment is tearing down a child, then that’s a reflection of your character, not his. He’s a child, stop the cruelty.”

Hilda also described her brother as a kind and loved young boy with a bright future ahead of him. She stressed that hateful comments and edited images would not define who he is.

She urged social media users to remember that there is a real teenager behind the screen who can read the hurtful comments directed at him.

“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.”
