It turns out Lexi Rabe, who plays a young Morgan Stark in Avengers: Endgame, has been the recipient of bullying and this is why we can’t have nice things.

The seven-year-old has issued a plea to her followers and fans of the Marvel franchise to give her a little slack, seeing as, after all, she’s a child.

While no specific instances were mentioned in the video posted to Instagram, her mother Jessica shared a message that implored people to understand it’s not her fault if she sometimes can’t stop for autographs or pictures with fans.

In the video, Lexi said to the camera: ‘I mess up sometimes, so my mum and dad give me tonnes of talking tos and time outs. Believe me.




‘If I go anywhere and acting a little silly or messed up or anything like that, im just seven years old.

‘Please don’t bully my family. Or me.

‘Bye, love you 3000.’

It appeared this wasn’t the first time the young star has been targeted, as her mother said ‘yet again Lexi’s getting bullied’.

Going some way to explain the situation, Jessica wrote: ‘And this kind of thing makes it celebrities never want to leave the house never want to meet people.

‘Please keep your opinions to yourself so Lexi can grow up in the free world. She’s a normal human being and she’s a child.

‘Sometimes were rushing from place to place stressed like everyone else to get to set on time or work or whatever and we seem a little grumpy. I’m sorry if you see us this way but that’s life! If you ask us for an autograph we always almost say yes. If we happen to be having a bad day that might put us right on the right! We are not perfect!

‘These perfect children are not being given the freedoms and the rights that they should. If your child is so scared to be themselves in public and mess up a little then you’re over parenting. We give our children plenty of rules and boundaries But then give them the freedoms to mess up and learn from their own mistakes.

‘They would not be on set an on movies if they weren’t well behaved. Trust me they have no desire to hire kids like that! And there were plenty of children that productions can work with.’

She continued: ‘So if you see us in public and think you have the right to judge. Wait. Number one until you have children of your own, and Number two realise that we’re not perfect and we’re not claiming to be! [sic]’

Fans immediately jumped to Lexi’s defence, as they encouraged the Avengers to assemble to avenge the girl’s right to be a seven-year-old.

‘Lexi sweet girl this entire fandom will protect you,’ one fan wrote. ‘We’re the real life Avengers. Stay strong little one. Don’t listen to any of the negativity.’



Among shouts of ‘love you 3000’ another added: ‘Bruh who ever is bullying a tony stark’s daughter their facing all of us [sic].’
