The internet can be a harsh place, especially for moms who dare to share a little too much of themselves online. This week, starlet Emily Starr found herself at the center of controversy after posting a stunning photo in black lingerie that showed off her incredible figure. Apparently, in the eyes of some, being a mom means you must hide your body away and abandon any sense of self-confidence. Eye roll, indeed.
Starr, known for her dance prowess and charming family anecdotes, took to Instagram to flaunt her fabulous physique. Seriously, how does she look that good? I’m left questioning my workout routine as I sit here in my sweats. While most commenters were all about supporting her, a few critics felt the need to voice their disapproval, insisting that such images should remain private, reserved for her husband, Jake.
One comment read, “A woman should keep her body for her husband. No one should see our nakedness. It’s sad to see so many women flaunting themselves.” Others echoed sentiments about how inappropriate it is for a mother to display her body, claiming it sets a poor example for young girls.
Really? Because posting critical and judgmental comments online is the better lesson? It’s a strange world we live in where a mother showing off her body is frowned upon while male entertainers, like Jake, can take to the stage in revealing outfits without a word of condemnation.
Let’s be honest: a quick glance at Jake’s Instagram shows he’s all for his wife’s confidence and celebration of her body. He clearly supports her, just as she should be proud of herself.
After facing the backlash, Starr shared an empowering quote on social media reminding her followers about the importance of female solidarity. Her caption read, “To all the strong women out there. May we be them, may we know them, may we raise them. Rise above judgment and step into love.” Preach, Emily!
