'Avengers: Endgame' actress asks for bullying to stop in touching video: 'I'm just 7'

USA TODAY

Lexi Rabe shared a video asking that the bullying of herself and family stop

Lexi Rabe, who played the daughter of Tony Stark in "Avengers: Endgame" said in a video that she's a kid and like other kids, "I mess up sometimes."

The 7-year-old actress said on her Instagram page that she receives "tons of talking tos" and "timeouts."

"Believe me," she added. "And If I go anywhere and I'm acting a little silly or a little messed up or anything like that, I'm just 7 years old."

Then she made a personal appeal: "Please don't bully my family. Or me."

Her mother Jessica Rabe wrote in the comments section of the video that "yet again Lexi's getting bullied."

"Please keep your opinions to yourself so Lexi can grow up in the free world," she wrote. "She's a normal human being and she's a child. We give her a talking and we give her time outs but we don't do that in public."

'I'm just a normal kid'

Lexi's mother added that "sometimes we're rushing from place to place stressed like everyone else."

In an interview with Good Morning America, Jessica Rabe said the post stems from when the family was at Los Angeles Mall and a fan didn't get to speak with Lexi and got mad, criticizing the family on social media.

"Somebody recognizes me and I was just like, playing with my brother, and they said, 'You need to train your girl how to like…' " Lexi recalled.

"'...act in public,' " Jessica Rabe said.

Lexi added: "You expect me to be a robot? Because I’m not a robot. I’m not all fancy at all. I’m just a normal kid!"

Jessica Rabe said she didn't understand why the fan got so mad. The video, she said, was about empowering her daughter.

"You know, we’re normal people, we have busy lives like everybody else,” she told the morning show. “I’m just trying to have her understand that the power that she has. She has a voice and it can be used for good."

On Lexi's social page on the same day she posted the video, she shared a post of on-screen dad Robert Downey Jr. holding up his hand with the words, "Say No to Bullying" and "Protect a Child,"

Jessica Rabe said the family is considering starting an anti-bullying program.
