AceShowbiz - Kenya Moore is joining the list of celebrities being mom-shamed for showing off her affection to her baby. On Sunday, December 16, the cast member of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" posted on Instagram a photo of herself nearly kissing her 6-month-old daughter, and faultfinders were quick to point their fingers at her.
One follower scolded the 47-year-old TV personality, "Girl, stop kissing that baby in the Mouth. You know you done had d**ks dated back from the 90's on the mouth... Smh." Another Instagram user sounded off similar complaint that read, "Stop kissing a baby in the mouth given a baby grown folks at germs. That’s where the baby gets thrush in the mouth And nowadays it can get bad and deadly."
While many criticized the former Miss USA for kissing her baby on the mouth, one in particular found fault at how she held her infant child. "Kenya dont hold her underneath her armpits," the fan wrote in the comment section. "She's just a bundle of soft tissue and can become QUITE sore from all the manipulation of being constantly picked up and held/dangled in the air by her armpits."
In the picture Kenya uploaded on her social media account, the "Waiting To Exhale" actress was captured holding up her daughter in the air to kiss her. Along with it, she wrote, "May God bless you and may all your heart's desires come true. I never gave up, kept praying and believing in God's plan for my life. Stay prayerful He has your back."
Kenya wasn't the only celebrity mother criticized online. In early December, Gabrielle Union was also put in the same situation. After she posted a video of her kissing baby Kaavia on her lips multiple times, her Instagram account was flooded with people telling her that she shouldn't have done that.
The wife of Dwyane Wade didn’t stay quiet though. She fired back with a video of Kaavia being checked by a doctor. "Here's a guide for happily enjoying my posts of our family," she wrote in the caption. "Trust that she is surrounded by medical and child care specialists. Know she is safe and watched closely at all times. Trust that I won't post anything that puts my child in danger or opens me up to unsolicited online medical or parenting opinions."
