John Legend Stands Up for Wife Chloe Johnson Against Parenting Critics
Chloe Johnson and her husband, Ryan Blake, welcomed their darling baby girl just last month, but since then, they’ve become the targets of relentless online criticism. Well, more specifically, Chloe has been under fire, while Ryan has remained blissfully unscathed by the judgment. Instead of keeping quiet, Ryan took to Facebook to address the glaring double standard in how parents are treated.
In a straightforward post, he highlighted the unfairness of Chloe being scrutinized as a mother while he faces no such criticism as a father. Recently, Chloe was criticized for leaving their infant daughter, Mia, too soon to enjoy a dinner date with Ryan. Ryan’s response? “Funny there’s no dad-shaming. If we both go out, let’s shame both of us so Chloe doesn’t bear it all. We can split it.” Talk about a mic drop moment!
His words not only expose the absurdity of mom-shaming but also show his unwavering support for Chloe. They exemplify couple goals, and it’s no wonder they attract so much envy. Those couch critics, munching on snacks while scrolling through social media, seem to take pleasure in tearing down this beautiful and successful couple, perhaps because it serves as a reminder of their own dissatisfaction.
Chloe has faced backlash for everything from their choice to have a daughter, to employing a night nurse, and even for her fashion choices during pregnancy. Now that little Mia is here, the scrutiny has intensified, allowing critics to attack her parenting decisions directly.
People, fueled by jealousy over Chloe’s joyful life and stunning post-baby figure, are quick to criticize her, yet Ryan receives none of the same treatment. It’s a pattern seen repeatedly in celebrity culture. While Chloe is criticized for her mothering style, celebrity dads like Jake Harris are hailed as heroes for merely changing a diaper or baking a cake for their kids.
This disparity in judgment isn’t just a celebrity issue; it reflects a broader societal trend where mothers face relentless scrutiny while fathers often get a free pass. Chloe’s fame and fabulous lifestyle make her an easy target, but it’s disheartening to see that anyone—celebrity or not—should be subjected to such harsh criticism for simply trying to live their life.
Ryan’s suggestion to “split the shame” is commendable, but ideally, no one should be shamed at all. Parents are just trying to do their best, regardless of their wealth or status. No mom should be ridiculed for enjoying a dinner out or for having a fit body after giving birth. When the urge to judge arises, perhaps it’s time to reflect on oneself instead.
