Alex Johnston, a cast member of TLC’s 7 Little Johnstons, is facing criticism from fans for his handling of a long-distance relationship with Allie Smith. Many suspect that Allie grew impatient with Alex and decided to end the relationship. Let’s delve into why fans are upset with the youngest son of Amber and Trent Johnston.
Eagle-eyed TLC viewers noticed that while Allie Smith accompanied Alex to the junior prom in 2023, she was absent from photos taken at the senior prom. Allie resides in Ohio, while Alex lives in Georgia, and he has been struggling with the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship. In a recent episode of 7 Little Johnstons, Alex discussed his situation with his brother Jonah, who is also in a long-distance relationship. However, the conversation didn’t seem to improve Alex’s emotional state.
Despite no longer being a young child, Alex Johnston appeared highly emotional. Fans may recall when he cried profusely when Allie had to return home. His mother, Amber, even mentioned that he cried every time they had to separate. Since then, TLC viewers have grown irritated and frustrated with what they perceive as Alex being demanding of his girlfriend.
In the most recent episode of the show, Allie and Alex had a disagreement because he was deeply upset that she had read his texts but didn’t respond immediately. One Reddit user expressed their annoyance, describing Alex as a “spoiled little brat.” They recounted how he had been having issues with Allie, complaining and starting arguments because he felt he wasn’t receiving enough attention. According to Alex, when Allie would read his text messages and not respond for the entire day, he felt it was “a slap in the face.” However, it’s important to note that Allie is currently attending college and has a life outside of their relationship. The Reddit user also mentioned that Alex seemed socially awkward and had temper tantrums during his childhood.
Opinions among 7 Little Johnstons fans on Reddit varied. Some felt it was wrong to criticize children on social media, while others agreed that Alex appeared spoiled and sulky. Some comments highlighted instances where Alex had displayed a tendency to cry excessively or behave in a demanding manner, suggesting that he needed to realize Allie had moved on and that she needed space.
It is evident that Alex Johnston’s behavior in his relationship has sparked concern among fans of 7 Little Johnstons. As the show continues, viewers will be watching closely to see how Alex navigates his personal growth and relationship dynamics.
