Brandi Rhodes Forced Into Major Family Decision

Brandi Rhodes takes a big step to protect her family.

Recently, Brandi Rhodes shared a promotional video for her “Mama and Mini Galentine’s” event through her Pinkerton’s brand (her baby & kids boutique), featuring herself and her youngest daughter, Leilani, together. In the clip, she invited fans to attend the February event.

However, instead of focusing on the event details, many fans flooded the comments with remarks about Leilani’s appearance.

Brandi Rhodes Hits Back At Creepy Social Media Fans

In response, Brandi shared a tweet explaining that she felt uncomfortable when fans took a post she had shared for her business and repurposed the video to debate and argue about her newborn baby.

She said it creeped her out to see strangers using her business content to dissect and argue over her child, and that this experience made her understand why many public figures choose not to show their children online.​

Because of this, she has now decided that she will no longer post pictures or videos of her kids on the internet to protect their privacy and keep them out of the online spotlight.

She tweeted, “It really weirds me out when people use a post for my business and repurpose the video to debate over my tiny baby but that’s the internet I guess. And people wonder why some public folks refuse to show their children. I get it now and I think I’m on that train going forward.”

Brandi Rhodes has two children with Cody Rhodes. They welcomed their first daughter, Liberty Iris Runnels, in June 2021, and their second daughter, Leilani Ella Runnels, was born on August 29, 2025.
