Fans and followers of the ubiquitous Flip or Flop host Christina El Moussa flipped out at the TV personality this weekend. The offending transaction: posting a bikini picture with her daughter and looking for accolades for the display on social media. Some in the rapt audience called it sickening and inappropriate.
Almost as if responding to the backlash, El Moussa posted another image on Instagram featuring her children at a slumber party, and some onlookers expressed their concern about her toddler son being too close to the water. While El Moussa hadnt chimed in on the comments around her bikini photo, she ended up responding both to those who deemed it inappropriate to share pictures of her children in swimming attire and to those who were worried about whether her children were in any danger.
Her caption read: Our first slumber party!!
6 kids, a dog and 2 moms. So fun, crazy, but so fun

*sorry just realized kids in swimwear again.. its cali people its what we do* And, following the so-called concern over her childs safety, the HGTV personality dropped into her comment stream, responding:
OMG 1. Its a beach entry if he fell in its only a foot high, he would be ok 2. Its not his first time in or around the pool,but thanks for your concern aka judgment, El Moussa replied. 3. AND most importantly I am right there and could be to him in 3 seconds SMH at this
..!!!!
Many of El Moussas followers came to her defense against the negative comments, showing that mommy shaming is as hot a topic on social media as one might think. El Moussas two posts have upwards of 50,000 likes and thousands of comments between them.
Dont worry about the negative remarks from people, Christina, wrote user nataliavanore. You were there. Many people around me arent around when their kids are outside. They want kids but dont want to be bothered by them. Theyre too busy with themselves, or their phones. At least you let your kids explore and be kids.
