We know celeb moms are major targets when it comes to mom-shaming. Sometimes, people think their comments are coming from a helpful place, but there’s definitely a huge difference between being helpful and shaming someone.
Jenna Jameson just experienced this situation first-hand after posting a video of her toddler playing near a window. Jenna was quick to shut down the haters and proved an important point about online mom-shaming.
Most people know Jenna Jameson from her career starring in adult films, but she’s made a name for herself as an entrepreneur.
She’s also an author and something of a pop culture phenomenon.
Most recently, Jenna has gone viral for sharing her weight-loss journey on social media, which she credits to the keto diet.
In addition to her career, Jenna is also a mom to three children. In April 2017, she welcomed a baby girl with her partner, Lior Bitton.
The couple named their daughter Batel Lu. Jenna is also the mom to 10-year-old twins Jesse and Journey from her relationship with Tito Oritz.
Jenna has been sharing updates about her life as a mom with fans through Instagram.
In addition to documenting her postpartum weight-loss journey, Jenna has also shared intimate photos of breastfeeding Batel.
She’s also been open about her decision to practice extended breastfeeding.
The family also recently moved into a new condo in Hawaii, which features these stunning floor to ceiling windows.
Jenna took to Instagram to give fans an inside look at their new home through a live video tour.
During her video tour, Batel was visible playing near the windows.
While she continued the tour, fans began commenting on the video, wondering if it was safe for Batel to play near the windows.
It seems like the comments were coming from a place of genuine concern, but Jenna received so many that they bordered on mom-shaming.
To prove her point, Jenna even put her arm through the gap to show viewers how small it was.
“As you can see, they are all sealed,” she said . “This one, literally only opens that far.”
I get why people were concerned, but we need to trust moms when it comes to their children’s safety and not bombard them with messages.
Showing concern for a child is okay, but mom-shaming isn’t.
There’s an appropriate way to express your concern over a child’s safety without shaming the mom in the process.
Jenna handled the criticism like a pro, and maybe in the future, these commenters will think twice before trying to shame a mom online.
People also called out Jenna because one of the windows appeared to be open.
The flurry of comments prompted Jenna to stop the tour and address the mom-shamers directly.
“Okay, I am getting annoyed by everybody saying they are nervous from these windows,” Jenna said during the video.
