AceShowbiz - Alec Baldwin, 66, and his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, 40, celebrated their eldest daughter's 11th birthday on social media. However, their posts were met with significant criticism due to Carmen's appearance.
Critics condemned the couple for allowing their preteen daughter to wear "inappropriate" amounts of makeup at such a young age. They questioned why Carmen's face had a beauty filter and "so much makeup" applied.
The Baldwins have faced similar scrutiny in the past for allowing Carmen to wear makeup since she turned 10. This time, fans voiced their concerns in the comments section, expressing concerns about the potential impact on the child's self-esteem and body image.
Some users accused the couple of sexualizing Carmen and setting her up for "a lifetime of pain." Others suggested that they should "let her be a little girl a bit longer."
Despite the criticism, some fans defended the Baldwins, arguing that they should be allowed to make parenting decisions without judgment. They emphasized that Carmen may have simply wanted to look pretty like her mother on her birthday.
The Baldwins have seven children, including Carmen, Rafael, Leonardo, Romeo, Eduardo, Maria and Ilaria. In addition to their daughter Ireland Baldwin, Alec shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger.
The family recently announced that they will be starring in a new reality series on TLC, titled "The Baldwins". The show will give viewers a glimpse into the ups and downs of their family life.
