Over the past week, people have started to notice that Rob Lowe’s official Instagram account has a pair of prominent, devastating trolls who manage to keep showing up in the comments. Unfortunately for Lowe, his online nemeses are his sons Johnny and Matthew and their unending barrage of ribbing is easily the most entertaining part of Lowe’s social media presence.
Recently, like most people over 50, Rob sent around that dumb pseudo-legalese Instagram privacy notification that crops up every few months. Usually the scam targets Facebook because that’s where most old people are, but when it migrated to Instagram, Lowe put down his Atkins bar long enough to protect his rights under the Rome Statute or whatever and post this nonsense. Johnny refused to let it go:
Matthew, for those who haven’t kept up on the Lowe family, earned his J.D. from Loyola. He most definitely knows this makes no sense, but he presumably was too shocked to reply before his brother.
