Jessie Addresses The Media Backlash
The mom-of-three took to her Instagram page presenting a lengthy address to fans concerning the reactions to her kids' photos from the weekend. This time, Jessie shared a video version of the snapshot from the weekend, with no sound. The Should Have Knew Better star started off by stating that she initially did not plan to respond to the criticism, but due to the virality of the family photos and the headlining news that came afterward, she had to do something about it. Jessie penned:
"When I posted the pix of our vacation and included the kids being silly flexing on the beach on our thanksgiving trip I had NO clue it would get the reaction it did."
The songstress stated that she was quite perplexed after being accused of photoshopping abs on her kids and also accused of the "polar opposite" which was that she overtrained them to have toned midriff.

The star mom stated that her kids' fit figures were a result of genetics and their love for athletics. She continued by sounding off that she wanted her children, Vivianne, Eric Jr., and Forrest to feel proud of their bodies. She noted that while her daughter was involved in gymnastics, her son, Eric Jr. channeled the NFL like his namesake dad, while the youngest, Forrest, loved dancing. Jessie wrote to the critics:
"Let's not pick and choose what we normalize regarding bodies and be accepting of all people and children. If we wanna do 'better' then do better. I'm proud of my children and encourage them to live their dreams. So we'll see y'all at the 2032 Olympics..."
