“Beyond this statement, we will not be speaking about this matter publicly, and we would request privacy at this time.”
She added: “Our sole focus now is our beautiful daughter. We shall continue to co-parent with nothing but love.”

She wrote: “Thank you all so much for your BEYOND lovely messages about the show! I love that so many of you are saying you find it funny and relatable.”
