Responding to the comment from a fan, Brielle simply penned: “Thank you.”
When another fan asked why the star chose to sit on Kroy’s lap, Brielle wrote back: “Honestly because I had no where else to sit we were making jokes the whole time about him being Santa it was comedy.”
“Tell me they haven’t hooked up,” inquired another commenter, to which the star replied, “Do you hook up with your dad?”
Speaking to TMZ, Brielle said: ““I think it’s disgusting that it’s a problem.
“He is an incredible man and an incredible father and that’s that. That’s all I have to say about it.”
Meanwhile, Kroy declared he’s unfazed by the negative remarks.
“It doesn’t bother me. It’s ignorant, uneducated people making comments to get reactions,” he told the US publication.
