'RHOC': Braunwyn Windham-Burke supports son Jacob's plan for big drag debut, fans call it 'heartwarming'

'Jacob honestly seems so happy and to have supportive parents and family like this is a blessing,' a fan commented

Braunwyn Windham-Burke may not be a favorite of the housewives but 'RHOC' fans are loving her approach and the new direction in life. As she struggles to stay on the path of sobriety, her son, Jacob, is planning on his big drag debut. 

Even though he has always loved wearing heels and makeup since he was a kid, it is only recently that he thought of doing it at a bigger scale. He's happy and feels empowered in his new drag outfit but that somewhere also stems from the fact that his parents, Braunwyn and Sean, are supportive of his decision. Drag is therapeutic for Jacob and helps him manage his depression, which took up a whole year of his life. Interestingly, though there have been no other reason for him to take that route. When Braunwyn enquired why he was opting for drag, hinting if he was transgender or gay, he had no answer for it. 

Even though that bothers Braunwyn, she is more than confident that if Jacob holds on to his truth then he will grow to become a role model for so many. 

Meanwhile, fans cannot stop praising for how Braunwyn and Sean are supporting him. "@braunwyn being an AMAZING mother and person allowing her son Jacob to figure out who he is, while he feels safe and happy in drag is actually emotional and beautiful. #RHOC," a user expressed, while another shared: "@braunwyn
omg your scene with Jacob was so beautiful. To see such an open-minded family creating such a safe space for their child to experiment is so heartwarming to see. Love!"

"Jacob honestly seems so happy and to have supportive parents and family like this is a blessing. And the fact that they’re showing it on tv? How could you not stan Braunwyn. #RHOC," a fan tweeted. "Jacob trying on dresses and his family being right there loving every moment and supporting him is so heartwarming and what we all need to mirror in this world. #RHOC."
