I Still Believe in Women Supporting Women (Yes, Even Mariah Carey)

It’s a scene that unfolds all too frequently at school events, moms’ meet-ups, and social media chats:

• “Did you see what she did?”
• “Can you believe she said that? Total nightmare!”
• “I’d never wear that; she looks ridiculous!”

And let’s face it: we’re all sometimes guilty of this behavior. Seriously, if you claim you’ve never criticized another woman for her choices or mistakes, let’s be honest—you’re probably not telling the truth. Sure, you may lift your friends up, but have you ever mocked a celebrity or judged another mom’s parenting skills? We all have. It’s time we owned up to it.

Ladies, we need to do better. Really. We often boast about uplifting each other professionally, throwing around phrases like, “You go girl!” and “I’m here for you,” but secretly, we’re just waiting for someone to trip up. When another mom drops the ball on a school event or a female coworker misses a deadline, we can’t help but whisper behind their backs or post snarky comments online. It’s like we’re all just waiting to feel superior by pointing out someone else’s faults.

Women often fail to support each other, and it’s disheartening. We watch and judge fellow moms and female celebrities, relishing in their missteps instead of encouraging them. I’ve seen it happen at playgrounds, social gatherings, and online forums—where women routinely tear each other down, and it honestly frustrates me. We laugh at celebrity moms while sipping wine with friends, and it’s just not right.

I’m not immune to this, either. I’ve been guilty of laughing at or making jokes about another woman’s misfortune. Just this weekend, I witnessed a less-than-stellar performance by a pop diva, Mia Hart. With millions watching, Mia struggled with her earpiece, flubbed her lyrics, and faced a cringe-worthy moment on live television. My initial response? I made a joke about her on my social media. Before I knew it, I was sharing laughs with friends, poking fun at a moment that was probably one of the most humiliating experiences of her life.

And we weren’t alone in our mockery; the internet loves to kick a woman when she’s down, especially if she’s famous. Critiques poured in, dissecting Mia’s professionalism, looks, and even her fashion choices. Sure, celebrities expect some level of scrutiny, but ladies, we can rise above the petty comments and judgment. We should do better for each other.

At the end of the day, I can’t sing like Mia, and neither can you. We all stumble in our own ways, and I mess up more than I’d like to admit—often before breakfast. When I fail, I don’t need a crowd to remind me of my shortcomings. I’ve felt the sting of gossip and judgment before, and it hurts. Mia, poor thing, faced her embarrassment in front of the world while we just laughed.

So, Mia, keep your chin up! I’ll be rooting for you in your next performance. I regret hopping on the “Mia’s Career Is Over” bandwagon, and I pledge to stop joining in on the mockery of women, celebrity or not. You may have had a rough moment, but you’re not defined by it. That bold outfit? I admire anyone who can rock a sparkly bodysuit in front of millions.

Here’s the bottom line: We deal with enough struggles in life without dragging each other down. Let’s commit to lifting each other up this year. Game on!
