Gabrielle Union’s children had no idea she was ‘monitoring’ their social media accounts.
In an interview for “Glamour,” the “Bring It On” actress opened up about how she controls internet content consumption in her home. “For our minor children, they do not control their social networks. For our adult children, it’s a trial and error process, the 50-year-old star said. Trust is a tricky thing with 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 became adults.
The actress also revealed that she constantly supervises her children’s social media accounts. “As a family we had too much to lose, we had to make sure we had constant supervision. Now, did the older kids know that? No, they didn’t. They forgot that we created their accounts as a gift, she added. So they had no idea that we were monitoring their private messages and everything. We have to do what needs to be done.”
The ‘Bad Boys II’ actress added, “Social media is great for finding out what’s going on in my house.”
Gabrielle Union has four-year-old daughter Kaavia with husband Dwyane Wade. She is also the mother-in-law of her husband’s children, Zaire, 21, Zaya, 16 and Xavier, nine.
