Ian heeft de tijd genomen om zijn vriendin op social media te verdedigen nadat ze vele negatieve reacties kreeg om haar relatie met hem, hij zette de onderstaande berichten op zijn twitteraccount:
“You HATE NIKKI REED? Really? Do you know her? Hmmmm, I’m not sure that you do. Look on her Instagram feed or twitter and all you will see is a compassionate and beautiful human being,” Ian recently wrote on Instagram to defend Nikki. “Please put your negative energy elsewhere. You don’t even know the person you’re talking about.”
“Do you care about me? Ask yourself that question. What’s the answer? Is it yes? If it is—then please be happy for me. Stop this nonsense—you’re spreading horrible energy into the world. Do some research of the person you say sucks or you HATE. You’ll find that she’s a magical person doing great things in the world.”
