'Constantly Observed'
Belmont Cameli said he was very 'protective' of the choices he makes.
"You feel constantly observed. .. I’ve been pretty good with handling that," the actor continued. "You can say whatever you want about me or people in my life, but it’s not going to affect me because I’m fully aware of what my reality looks like and feels like."
Cameli called the "mean things" that people had to say about him "just noise," adding, "I’m really protective of making sure that the choices I make, the things that I do and the people I surround myself with are things that serve me."
Raina Morris Called Out 'Off Campus Fans'
Raina Morris ripped 'Off Campus' fans for reaching out to her family in July.
Bright has only spoken positively of Cameli, calling him a brother in a July interview.
That same month, Morris, 28, addressed the Off Campus fanbase while calling out inappropriate behavior toward her family.
“If you are a fan of my boyfriend: Yay! Please stop messaging my family members," she wrote via her Instagram Stories on July 14. "They are so confused. Write in your diary and then go on a walk instead! Love u."
"I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at DMing my distant cousins," she added in a follow-up post.
