Disgusting: Tamera Mowry-Housley Reacts To Troll Who Accuses Her Of ‘Cooning’ Following Niece’s Murder

"Don't you ever judge the death of my niece."

Tamera Mowry-Housley and her husband, Adam, recently learned that their niece Alaina Housley was among the victims in the Thousand Oaks shooting that saw 13 people lose their lives.

Recently, the television personality tearfully spoke on the tragic incident, and oddly received some backlash from a few trolls, one of who dubbed her a "coon" for not speaking on the "real issues" — whatever those may be. Failing to let the sly comment fly, the actress responded, scolding the commenter for her approach.

In a recent interview with CBS This Morning, an emotional Mowry shared a few words on her niece's passing, beside her husband and Alaina's father.

"Alaina was beautiful," she said. "She was my friend... Yes, there needs to be a change, but all the noise, nothing's been done... You start by imagining, 'What if that was my child, or my niece, or my cousin? It'll get you in a place of just having some sort of human decency."

Take a look at the clip, below:

While many may naturally empathize with the actress, a particular troll took to the comments section below a post by The Shade Room, where the video was reposted, to urge that she "stop cooning and speak on the real issues."

Clearly uneasy by the comment, Mowry-Housley responded, stressing to the commenter that she is "a part of the problem."

She ended her direct clapback with a warning: "Don't you ever judge the death of my niece."

Take a look at the exchange, below:
