OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA: In a recent turn of events, the internet was left in dismay and disbelief after 'The Real Housewives of Orange County' star Briana Culberson reshared a post suggesting that essential oils could cure autism.
This revelation sparked outrage and bewilderment, as Briana herself is a mother of an autistic child as well as a nurse.
Many found it deeply troubling that she would endorse such a treatment, given her firsthand experience. The controversial post stirred intense reactions across the internet, with users expressing their strong disapproval and labeling it "beyond offensive."
On Reddit, users were quick to call out Briana for reposting the image, stating that it was rather "dumb" of her to promote something like this, as a person made a thread titled, "Not Briana Culberson resharing a post that insinuates that autism can be cured w essential oils," along with the caption, "This is f**king sick."
The image, picturing Briana and three others, was a repost of a story shared by @thewarriorcenter, someone who describes themself to be a "Dr Mum" for "autism/allergy/adhd healing" and is a "naturopathic practitioner."
After seeing the post, an enraged person wrote, "How do you go from being a nurse from a practical - albeit crazy parent situation - married to someone in the military…to THIS???" "As a nurse, who’s a mom of an autistic son, I find this beyond offensive," wrote another.
"As someone with a child that has low functioning autism…f**k her and her dumba** friends. Idiots," commented a third.
"As a mom of a little guy with autism i don't even find the words to express how angry i am to read something like that," quipped another.
One more person also took a brutal jibe at her, stating, "Somehow essential oils never cure being an ignorant dumb a** though briana."
Yet another said, "I know an ICU nurse who threw herself a huge 40th birthday party during the peak of OG Covid. Dumb nurses are a thing, unfortunately."
