Eric added, “Barron is young. He’s not old enough to be a jerk and get away with it. He’s a little shy, but he’s smart as hell.”
‘Told Eric to shut his mouth’
Although Eric’s comments portrayed Barron in a positive light, insiders claim Melania was “furious” with her stepson after he publicly spoke about her son. According to Hollywood insider Rob Shuter, Melania argued that she “does not want Barron discussed. Ever.” “She’s deeply uncomfortable with Barron trending again,” the source said. “He’s in college. He wants a quiet life. Headlines and memes are the last thing she wants for him.”
