Comment (by espellcaste):

 So, while testing this, the last suggestion is the better, and safer, one.
 Removing `stripslashes` all together was affecting non-serializable
 fields, like [https://github.com/buddypress/BP-REST/pull/497/files#diff-
 a8101ca7a57e9a331b6b201a69cdfaa5c65fc7d9750e1035b1255736bd13f96dR444 this
 example].
