Former professional rugby player and TV personality, Beau Ryan, is facing major backlash after sharing a photo of himself innocently kissing his seven-year-old daughter, Remi, on the cheek.
He posted the photo wishing her a happy birthday.
Many seem to find the photo and caption to be inappropriate.
The innocent display of affection has sparked controversy with plenty of others.
David has shared a few photos of himself giving his eight-year-old daughter a peck on the lips over the last few years, and every time he does, his followers are up in arms over it.
"Why would a father kiss his daughter on the lips? Don't get it. Creepy. Weird. Creepy," he said.
"Weird, weird, weird."
He then explained what he thinks is an appropriate sign of affection between parents and their children.
David eventually commented on the backlash, revealing that kissing his children on the lips is a normal thing in his family's household.
"I’m very affectionate with the kids. It’s how I was brought up and Victoria, and it’s how we are with our children."
"Hbd to my everything. I’m so proud to be your Daddy. I love that you still love me kissing your face off," he captioned the photo.
"If any of the boys at your school try, I want to remind you that I have lebo mates, a shovel and an alibi," he joked.
On account of Remi's body language, some fans criticized Beau for intentionally embarrassing his daughter in public.
This person encouraged Beau to teach his daughter about boundaries instead.
Remi clearly doesn't look like she volunteered to take the photo.
But then again, at that age, who actually wants to take adorable photos with their parents?
I'm sorry, but I think it would be a lot weirder if he was actively inviting other guys to kiss his daughter.
She may have no liked taking this photo at seven years old, but I bet she's going to love it when she's all grown up!
