Little did Gabrielle Union’s kids know she was “monitoring” their social media accounts.
In an interview for Glamor, the Bring It On actress opened up about how she controls the consumption of internet content in her home. “For our underage children, they have no control over their social networks. For our adult kids, it’s a trial-and-error process, the 50-year-old star said. Trust is a difficult thing in this generation, you will quickly find out who you can trust and who you can’t. They found out quickly because neither of them had complete control over their social media until they were adults.
The actress also revealed that she constantly monitors her children’s social media accounts. “As a family we had too much to lose, we needed to make sure we were supervised at all times. Did the older kids know that? No, they haven’t. “They forgot we created their accounts as a gift,” she added. So they had no idea we were monitoring their private messages and everything. We must do what must be done.”
The Bad Boys II actress added, “Social media is a great way to find out what’s going on in my house.”
Gabrielle Union has daughter Kaavia, four, with husband Dwyane Wade. She is also the mother-in-law of her husband’s children, Zaire (21), Zaya (16) and Xavier (9).
