Lonnie Chavis is the 10-year-old actor that has probably graced your screen if you've ever watched the talked about show, This Is Us. Being as he's launched in celebrity status it, unfortunately, means that all the love he gets will undoubtedly come with some hate due to the number of online trolls that simply have no mercy. 

Haters had the audacity to make fun of Lonnie for the gap in his teeth and although he's handling the hate pretty well and not taking it personally, he's responded appropriately with a video explaining how he can easily get his gap fixed but questions if these trolls can "fix" their heart. “There are kids out here killing themselves just because of y’all hating and trolling and doing just crazy stuff … I mean, it’s stupid. Is it fun? No. It hurts people," he says in the clip. "People kill themselves, and you’re the one who’s making them do it. Fix your heart, though. For real.”

He adds: “I’m happy that I can handle this. I can handle this. I’m not tripping. But there are kids out here. If y’all kids are watching this, don’t trip. Be who you want to be. Do what you want to do. Do you. Be you. Believe in yourself.”
