Now, it seems The Real Housewives of Orange County daughter and son-in-law have become targets as a result of Ryan's high-profile Keto-related Instagram sharing.

Ryan took to his Instagram Stories to share screengrabs from a site that uses the couple's likeness as shared on Instagram, and claims their affiliation with a brand of Keto products — but it's false, he said. "This is 100% a scam if you don't see it here don't believe these people trying to make $ off you!"
