Claps Back at Internet Drama

It seems the rumors about Murphy were greatly exaggerated. And Tori Roloff isn’t here for that. In another Instagram Stories slide, she chided people for spreading rumors. “It’s sometimes discouraging what the internet posts about our family.”

Furthermore, she said that it’s not always possible to include him in photos. The reality star doesn’t want to force the dog to get in on the photo if he’s otherwise occupied relaxing nearby.

She wants fans to know that Murphy is just as loved as her two-legged children, even if she doesn’t share his photos daily. Tori joked that the dog has to compete with her kids for “screen time” on her social media.
