The sister of Lewis Capaldi has hit back at trolls who have criticised their parents following the release of the singer’s new Netflix documentary.
How I’m Feeling Now highlights the 26-year-old Someone You Loved hit-maker’s mental health issues and struggles with Tourette’s syndrome.
The Scottish star’s mum and dad, Mark and Carol, also featured in the film and some accused them of being “too harsh” in their treatment of him.
Now, Lewis’ older sister Danielle, 30, has leapt to their defence, insisting they are just “ordinary” parents from Scotland.
Taking to TikTok, she shared a snap with her and Lewis showing the middle finger to the haters.
Her caption read: “When reading negative comments on parents. Lewis’s documentary has had a lot of positive responses. But unfortunately there will always be people who have to look for problems where there aren’t any.
“If you don’t get Scottish patter or parents who are worried about their son, don’t comment.”
Fans rushed to the comments section to offer their support, writing: “Thought your mum & dad were amazing, so supportive of Lewis & everything he does!”
“I actually love the fact Lewis comes from a normal down to earth typical Scottish family that’s the first thing I said when I saw your parents! X,” said another.
While a third added: “Love this! Your parents came across as loving and supportive. Obviously a strong family who are there for each other.”
One person decided to play devil’s advocate however, writing: “Your dad does come off harsh at first though. I get it, like I have family like that too, old school and not really up on mental health. they learn tho.”
Not having any of it, Danielle replied: “We didn’t know he had Tourette’s at this point. He went through me having MH issues that looked nothing like Lewis’ tics. He wanted him to get help.
