Yasmien Kurdi took to social media to air out alleged bullying towards her daughter, Ayesha.
On Instagram, the actress claimed Ayesha was “targeted” by her classmates “because she was unable to keep up with group messages” regarding their Christmas party while they were on vacation.
Yasmien said Ayesha was surrounded by seven to nine kids from her class and “was blocked from leaving the classroom and was denied her food and recess.”
“In other words, she was ganged up on,” she said.
Yasmien said their family took a vacation to relieve Ayesha’s stress caused by alleged harassment by another student who took her video without her consent, causing her “paranoia and anxiety.”
“She has been enduring this type of bullying since Grade 2, alarmingly this has led to the creation of an online ‘Ayesha Hate Club’ targeting her,” she said.
“I know that bullies are everywhere. The question is, will the school do something about this?” she said.
In a separate post, Yasmien apologized to her daughter for going “through all of this because I am your mom.”
“But I will always be here for you. I will protect you with all my life,” she said.
Yasmien’s husband and Ayesha’s father, Rey Soldevilla Jr., expressed his support in the comment section.
“Brave girl, Ayesha! Papa loves you so much!” he commented.
Ayesha is Yasmien and Rey’s first child. In April, they welcomed the newest member to their family, Raya Layla.
