Reality star Christina El Moussa is now in hot water following her Instagram post this week.
The Flip or Flop reality star came under fire after posting a photo of herself and her young daughter Taylor in bikinis on Tuesday.
“Welcome to the family!! @cashiethefrenchbulldog,” the HGTV star wrote. “Click link in my bio!!”
The photo was part of the reality star’s swimwear line L*Space by Monica Wise. Many of the commenters were not too happy to see the reality star, who is currently undergoing a divorce from her husband and Flip or Flop co-star, Tarek El Moussa.
“Very strange to pose in this manner with your daughter. It’s one thing to keep it for family memories but if you’re willing to post this for the world to see, you’ve given away her innocence @christinaelmoussa . Do you think about the consequences? I hope her Dad doesn’t think this is normal @tarekelmoussa,” one Instagram user wrote.
Another Instagram user wrote, “It’s cute when it’s candid and the dad is standing behind the camera and when the photo is printed it goes in a cute little “summer time” scrapbook. It’s SICK when you put your daughter in a swimsuit, call up a professional photographer, and give the little girl a donut and say “don’t eat it until we have at least 100 good shots to take home and edit.” It’s weird enough being a little girl growing up in 2017 without your mentally disturbed mother using her to propel her career with “cute” photo shoots. Smh”
That said, a large majority of the comments were supportive of the reality star and at the end of the day, the media attention probably helped her sell more of her swimwear line.
