LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Singer Jessica Simpson, 43, is married to retired NFL star Eric Johnson, 44.
The ‘Irresistible’ singer, who recently shared her experience of getting sexualized in her childhood through her memoir ‘Open Book’, is now receiving hatred for letting her 11-year-old daughter Maxwell wear a crop top.
On August 26, Simpson shared a few snaps of herself with her daughter before visiting a dog park contest. While the songstress was looking gorgeous in a pink dress, she received criticism from her fans for dressing Maxwell in a denim crop top and a matching skirt with a full face of makeup.
How many children does Jessica Simpson have?
Jessica Simpson got engaged to Eric Johnson in 2010. They welcomed their first daughter Maxwell Drew in 2012. Their second child, son Ace Knute, 10, was born in 2013. In 2019, the couple's second daughter Birdie Mae, 4, was born.
The teen pop sensation married Johnson in July 2014.
What is Jessica Simpson doing in 2023?
After detailing her experiences with child sexual abuse, addiction, and alcoholism in her memoir 'Open Book', Simpson is looking forward to restarting her career in music, per Mamamia.
The family moved to Nashville as a temporary summer residence which the 'I Wanna Love You Forever' termed as "hilarious experience" in an interview with E! News.
She said in the interview, "Being in Nashville, even my kids are like, 'You laugh the whole time. You're so happy.'"
She explained, "It's because I'm not on guard. I'm with a lot of like-minded people. It's not about the celebrities—it's really about the music and the heart and the conversation."
Noting that she was planning her comeback for 12 years, she said, "I'm not nervous at all, but if you were to ask me two years ago when I was talking about coming back to music, I was frightened."
"But now, I know exactly what I want," admitted the 'Angels' singer before adding, "I'm building my own platform. I'm doing it for the first time—the way I would—without a label telling me I need to do this song or use this producer. It's all me."
Jessica Simpson slammed by fans for trying to be a 'cool mom'
One fan slammed the 'I Belong to Me' singer for dressing her 11-year-old daughter in a crop top by saying, "Isn't she like 11 or something?? Stop sexualizing your little girl."
Another said, "Why in the hell would you let your child dress like that is beyond me!!!"
The third fan let out their frustration by writing a long post, "Who lets their 11 year old child out of the house dressed like that?? Too busy trying to be her minor daughter's best friend instead of being a responsible parent. After years of denouncing how she was oversexualized as a young adult and the scrutiny she faced, she's now making sure her daughter will have the same experience, instead of protecting her from it. Shameful and incredibly sad. Poor Maxwell."
Another echoed the same sentiment and said, "Why are you letting your 11 year old child dress like a 20 year old? They grow up fast enough - let her be a CHILD. Or have you already forgotten what being pushed into adulthood and sexiness can do to a young girl??"
"Not a good look for an 11 year old child!" said another displeased fan. Someone else said, "11 is still a child!!!!!"
Another criticized Simpson's parenting and said, "Umm why is her 11 year old wearing this?!! Is Jessica trying to be the “cool mom”."
"In order to protect your child though, this pic definitely shouldn’t have been posted," someone tried to reason.
However, despite the criticisms, some fans tried to defend her too.
"So many Karens here geez! No 11 year old looks like an 11 yr old today. We're not in the Brady Bunch years anymore, she looks fine. She's w her momma!" defended a fan.
