Raini Rodriguez Speaks Out Against Bullying With New 'Austin & Ally' Episode & Blog - Read Here!

Trish (Raini Rodriguez) gives a warm smile to Dez (Calum Worthy) in this new still from a touching new Austin & Ally.

In “Beauties & Bullies”, when Trish gets the lead role in the school play, she drops out when she learns someone is making fun of her online.

“I hope when you watch ‘Beauties and Bullies’ it touches your heart and you can relate to it — whether you’re Trish, Austin, Dez or Ally. As you will see in the episode, they stick up for Trish, which I hope inspires you to stand up for your friends or even a stranger if you see them being bullied,” Raini wrote in a blog for Huffington Post.

She adds, “You can always talk to a parent or a teacher, trust me, someone will always be there to listen. Bullying is never fun, it’s a cruel and terrible thing to do to someone. If you are being bullied, it is NOT your fault. No one deserves to be bullied EVER. You are amazing and you should never let anyone make you feel any less. Remember if Trish and Raini can get past it, so can you.”
