Following the backlash, Paige Price defended the deleted video in a comment under Muniz’s new post. “Frankie, I am so sorry that you felt the need to delete an old fun video of our family because people are so cruel to you,” she wrote.

Price added, “This world is so f—ed… divorce is bad, sure — it’s not like we’re excited about it… but we’re two adults who know how to be on the same team,” she continued. “I can’t believe people could scrutinize that.”

In a reply to the comment, one user asked why Price shared the remark publicly. Price responded, “I did say it to his face. 1000 times.” She added, “And I’ll say it through text just as much because I genuinely care. That’s the point.”
