Fans rushed to the comments to back her up, saying that it must be difficult to be a mum as a celebrity when people watch your every move.
One person sympathised saying: "My little one walks up and stand in front of the tv!!!! Haters gonna hate babes – ignore! We can’t all be perfect! You’re doing great."
Another agreed: "Do you know what that was the first thing I thought. That people would say that. You’re a good person and good mum. You don’t have to explain yourself to the Karen's of this world."
A mother jumped in: "My son watches all of his tv that close. Ignore the perfect parents out there."
