Olivia recently posted a photo showing her son, Otis, giving her a peck on the lips during the boy’s bath time. But it brought out criticism from people who said they found the moment inappropriate. “It’s gross,” one person wrote, while another added: “Kissing your kid like your husband. It’s not good for him.”
After posting a similar pic on Instagram kissing her daughter Harper on the lips back in July 2016, Victoria was called out by followers who deemed the act inappropriate — but her loyal fans came out in full force with words of support.
The star was shamed for breastfeeding her daughter Wyatt in public, and she wasn’t having any of it. “If it’s not for you, don’t look,” she said, defending the rights of women who choose to breastfeed their children.
Chrissy’s been called out for choosing the gender of her child (she and husband John Legend opted for a female embryo while undergoing IVF treatment), the way she holds her daughter Luna, and even for going out for dinner shortly after giving birth.
Reese was ripped apart after posting a downright adorable photo of breakfast she made for her son back in March 2015, with commenters claiming that the cinnamon rolls weren’t a healthy option to feed her son.
When Pink shared a photo of herself cooking with her kids — 6-year-old daughter Willow and then 6-month-old son Jameson — she was mummy-shamed for holding her son in a carrier on her chest while near the stove.
Mariah Carey shared an adorable Instagram post cuddling with her then 4-year-old twins, Roc and Roe, during movie night in 2016. But people attacked her son’s use of a pacifier and called her lazy for failing to take the time to ween him off.
In July, Ciara was on a family vacation with husband Russel Wilson, their 3-month-old daughter Sienna, and her 3-year-old son Future Zahir. After sharing a video of the crew going down the Great Wall of China in a toboggan, she was called “irresponsible” and “dumb”.
When it comes to mummy-shaming, Kim has faced the most backlash. In June, she was called out for putting her 1-year-old son, Saint, in a front-facing car seat, when California law requires a rear-facing car seat for children under two years old.
After posting a photo of herself drinking a glass of wine, Beyoncé was mercilessly attacked online. The reason? People were debating whether or not she should have been drinking alcohol considering she may be breastfeeding her newborn twins, Rumi and Sir.
