Lydia and Shannon Go Head to Head

Lydia McLaughlin's older brother Jesse Stirling isn't just one of the hottest siblings around; he's also one of the most supportive. The Real Housewives of Orange County bro has taken to Twitter to come to his sister's defense following Monday night's drama-filled episode. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on  Peacock and the Bravo App.

Jesse defended Lydia's actions as things got heated with Shannon Beador in the episode, pointing to their first explosive meeting.

Anyone accusing Lydia of being a "mean girl" is just plain wrong, according to Jesse. "Lydia is one of the sweetest people I know," he tweeted. "She is religious, that's true. But this 'mean girl' accusation is ridiculous."

And don't you dare come for Lydia's rainbow...

... or her Nobleman Magazine.

Jesse wasn't afraid to slay Internet trolls, be it by pointing out their grammatical errors or using sarcasm

Of course, Lydia was so happy to see that her brother has her back. "I love how my brother @stirling_jesse is so up on #rhoc twitter comments and the first to defend me!" she tweeted. "Love you big bro."
