The Internet trolls are back at it again in criticizing celebrity mothers. This time they targeted Victoria Beckham.
The fashion designer posted an innocent photo of herself with youngest child, Harper. In the photo, they are in the water and she was giving her daughter a kiss on the lips. She took the photo to celebrate her daughter’s birthday.
Unfortunately, she faced backlash for the photo from commentors, but others came to her defense. They pointed out their parents kissed them on the lips in childhood and still gave them pecks on the lips.
One person in the comments said, “Quite disturbing you’d find anything wrong with a mother kissing her 5-year-old daughter.”
To show solidarity, other mothers posted photos of themselves giving their children kisses on the lips.
Beckham is not the only one to face criticism for parenting in the entertainment world. Model Chrissy Teigen was slammed throughout her pregnancy and afterwards when she dared to go on a date with husband John Legend a week after giving birth. He then came to his wife’s defense, telling people they might as well shame him too.
Just recently, Kristin Cavallari was given a hard time over her sons supposedly being too skinny in an Instagram post. Jenni "JWoww" Farley was forced to defend herself when Instagram commentators accused her of not putting sunscreen on her 2-month-old baby when he was briefly in the pool with his dad.
Thankfully among the trolls, there are the levelheaded followers who know these celebrities are responsible mothers.
