Taylor Garron, a Black writer and comedian based in Brooklyn, New York, has accused the music trio Jonas Brothers of being "mean" to her in the past. In a thread of tweets, Garron informed her Twitter followers about her experience of allegedly "being bullied" by siblings Joe, Kevin, and Nick, together known by their stage name Jonas Brothers. Sharing an old image, Garron recalled the day she was aboard a mobile stage with the "lip syncing" brothers during the Macy's Day Parade, an annual Thanksgiving parade in the US.
Wishing her followers a "happy thanksgiving," Garron went on to narrate her past experience in two tweets. Neither of the three brothers has responded to the claim.

About The Jonas Brothers
The Jonas Brothers are an American pop band, comprising brothers Kevin (33), Joe (31), and Nick (28). Formed in 2005 when they were just teens, the trio shot to fame following their association with the Disney network. The Grammy-nominated band has a total of five music albums to their name, and several more individually. They have also made film appearances in documentaries, and the Disney franchise Camp Rock.
After a split in 2013, the three reunited in 2019 for a single titled Sucker, which also featured each of their partners. Kevin, Joe, and Nick are all married, to Danielle Deleasa, Sophie Turner, and Priyanka Chopra respectively. Turner, Game Of Thrones star, and Joe Jonas became parents to a baby girl this year in July.
Meanwhile, Chopra, 38, had married the third Jonas brother in a private ceremony in India in 2018 - a highly-publicised affair that was the subject of extreme scrutiny given the couple's difference in age and nationality. Read more on it here.
