Hailey Bieber shared a sweet family photo over the weekend that is getting some serious slack. (Because do the trolls ever take a rest?)
The model posted a picture on Instagram of her on a walk with husband Justin Bieber. Their 3-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber is strapped to her chest and all bundled up. The proud new parents are smiling wide in the precious and rare family selfie that was the first shot in Hailey’s carousel.
“November aka the best month of the year ????????????,” the new mom captioned her post. Later slides consisted of photos of products from her skincare line, a video of a crackling fire, a shot of some scrumptious-looking cinnamon buns, a cropped selfie of Hailey holding a martini, and more.
And followers were not. happy. The fact that she mixed personal and professional photos had them all in a tizzy.
“I hope that one day Justin and their son’s image will no longer be the subject of her brand’s marketing… Justin deserves more than that!????,” one person said, opening the flood gates.
“9 out of those 13 pics were Rhode advertisement. She posted the 3 of them as the 1st pic to get ppl to scroll. And I actually love Hailey. This tactic is ALL wrong though…,” another added.
“She has to [post family pictures] to keep all you reeled in to buy her products. It’s all about marketing with them. People are such suckers. Same thing with ole Kourtney Kardashian. ????????????,” said yet another incredulous troll.
“It’s just a photo dump pls familiarize yourself with that before you start breaking out into hives,” a reasonable commenter said. Because duhhh. She can post November pictures (And yes, someone took issue with the month. “I thought the best month of the year would be the one where Jack was born?!”) without having an ulterior professional motive.
And then there was the alcohol. “Why’s there more booze since having a baby????” “She’s clearly not breastfeeding the child drinking alcohol! ???? ???? ???? ????”
Seriously, guys? You’re on Drink Patrol now? You can drink alcohol while breastfeeding, and what’s it to you, internet stranger, if she isn’t breastfeeding? All you should care about is if little Jack is fed. And if the Biebers are formula-feeding, that’s expensive AF. So, if this post was all a ploy to get more customers, all the power to ya, Hailey! Having a baby adds up.
Thankfully, there were some people who came to the new mom’s defense, saying she had a beautiful family and pointing out all the flaws in people’s arguments.
“Anddd this is why she doesn’t post justin or her son bc people will say crap like this. How can she be using them for marketing when she has NEVER shown her sons face and only posts with justin every few months,” one person said.
“Hailey posts her husband, she is criticized. Hailey does not post her husband, she is criticized. Hailey uploads photos of herself, she is criticized. Hailey uploads photos of her brand, she is criticized. In conclusion, everything this woman does will be criticized, we are already at a point where I will soon see people criticizing her way of breathing,” another added.
In a 2023 interview with GQ Hype, Hailey said the pregnancy rumor mill would keep her mouth shut for a long time. “There is something that’s disheartening about, damn, I can’t be bloated one time and not be pregnant? It would be a lie if I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I don’t give a sh*t,’” she said. “When there comes a day that that is true, you — you as in the internet — will be the last to know.”
After all the gossip before being pregnant and all the social media nastiness after welcoming little Jack in August, we wouldn’t blame Hailey if she didn’t give the internet another update on the little guy in a very long time.
These celebs were quick to shut down pregnancy speculation.
