Father of autistic man demands apology from comedian Matt Rife for alleged cyberbullying

The father of an autistic man, who was allegedly cyberbullied by comedian Matt Rife, is demanding an apology from the popular entertainer. Kevin Mac stated that his son, Chris, was not acting with negative intent when he voiced concerns about a doll being displayed in an open area at the Warrens' Haunted Museum.

Mac expressed his family's disappointment with Rife's response to his son's comment, describing it as provocative. "My son is a 'special' person, and he felt hurt when he was publicly humiliated," Mac said. He added that his son was simply expressing concern about the doll's placement.

Previously, Matt Rife faced significant backlash from netizens after calling the autistic teenager "annoying" and suggesting he "end his life." This occurred after the teenager commented on Rife's post, prohibiting him from placing the Annabelle doll in an open area within the museum.

“

Sir, you are an annoying person who doesn't have a life. Please disappear from this earth. No one is reading your comments in this space and no one cares about you.

Rife's alleged response to the teenager was: "Sir, you are an annoying person who doesn't have a life. Please disappear from this earth. No one is reading your comments in this space and no one cares about you. We have sold thousands of tickets, now you watch as I block you from this platform."

Adding to the controversy, Rife has reportedly refused to apologize for his remarks. The incident occurred when Rife and his friend, Elton Castee, were charging admission to the Warren House of Horror, a move that had already drawn objections from the paranormal community in the United States.
