She’s listening! Paris took action after fans shamed her for buckling Phoenix, 16 months, and 6-month-old London in car seats facing forward and haphazardly strapping them in. “Thanks for the mom advice,” the 43-year-old graciously responded. “I’m new to this!”

Don’t come for the 35-year-old! After haters shamed the mom to 1-year-old Louetta for sharing breastfeeding pics, she wasn’t fazed. “I’m feeding my kid,” she argued. “It’s not sexual unless you’re making it that way.”

In a recent interview with British Vogue, the 28-year-old said she faced harsh criticism in the wake of her split from husband Joe Jonas for attending a party after wrapping filming of Joan in England. (Her daughter Willa, 3, and her younger sis, nearly 2, were with their dad Stateside.) Being called a bad mom stung, she said. “Mum guilt is so real.”

Knowing that she’d gotten flak when she showed off her older daughter Banks’ newly pierced ears when the tot was 8 months old in 2018, the 36-year-old was ready when she had her second daughter Mae’s pierced two years later. “Yes! I pierced her ears today,” she posted. “Can’t wait for the internet to call me a child abuser… again. Lesss go.”

Not-so-sweet kisses! The backlash was strong when the Bring It On star shared a snap kissing her baby Kaavia, now 5, on the lips, with some accusing her of potentially introducing harmful bacteria via the mouth-to-mouth contact. The 51-year-old shut it down, saying that she hadn’t gone through the difficult surrogacy journey just to put her child in harm’s way.
