7 Little Johnstons Fans Blast Poor Treatment Of Jonah Johnston
Recently, 7 Little Johnstons fan discussion turned to Jonah’s Delta-8 incident and how Amber Johnston and Trent Johnston handled the situation with their adult son. The way a lot of viewers see it, Amber and Trent dropped the ball, and ended up doing more harm than good in this situation.
- One commenter said: “I feel bad for Jonah. My mom has been watching the show for years now and I’ve only just started paying attention. Went and watched the infamous “delta-8” episode and felt so bad for the guy. They acted like he smoked crack under a bridge when all he did was get a little too high and have a panic attack. Poor guy gets treated like an elderly dog who can’t be left alone for more than 2 hours without dying.”
- Another commenter said: “I agree. They made a huge deal about Delta 8’s. You would have thought he was shooting up! Delta 8 is sold over the counter. They really went overboard with this. I think Johna should up and move out. He’s an adult and more than old enough to live on his own.”
