Influencer Jesse Ridgway <\/b>has spoken out after allegedly receiving \u201cdeath threats\u201d over his wife Ashley Ridgway<\/b>\u2019s decision to terminate her pregnancy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision,\u201d Jesse, 33, wrote via his Instagram Stories on Thursday, June 4. \u201cThe last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called \u2018murderous pieces of s***, evil and compared to Hitler\u2019 and receiving nonstop death threats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashley, 31, announced in March that she was pregnant with the couple\u2019s first baby, one month before revealing that the fetus was diagnosed with Down syndrome. Jesse revealed on Wednesday, June 3,<\/span><\/a> that his wife recently \u201cmade the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy\u201d over future health concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing my 6-year-old dog with stage IV kidney disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying will regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity,\u201d Jesse alleged on Thursday, detailing the online comments he\u2019s received over the backlash. \u201cIf you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet, It\u2019s a s***show of epic proportions.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cWhat\u2019s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into hell \u2026 seems pretty hypocritical. So many saying they would\u2019ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a Down syndrome child, that\u2019s great! You can do all those things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jesse further noted that many critics \u201cthrowing stones\u201d don\u2019t have children of their own or \u201clikely will never do the things they say they\u2019re going to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been some heinous s*** said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts. It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings,\u201d he added. \u201cIf you can\u2019t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults, then just don\u2019t post.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jesse stressed that he and Ashley made their own decision, which might be different from other individuals in similar situations.<\/p>\n
