pink/InstagramP!nk isn’t here to listen to the keyboard warriors and trolls anymore, and she’s made no bones with calling them out for some ‘disgusting’ comments about her son.
The singer and mum-of-two has had to delete and re-post a doctored picture with her children Willow Sage, seven, and Jameson Moon Hart, two.
Why, you ask? Well, because some people are really fucking weird online.
P!nk posted the photograph of her children meeting a wild pelican – which is really pretty cool and worthy of a comment, if you ask me.
However, the nature of the comments some people instead chose to physically type out into their phones, think about it, and then still click Enter are far removed from anything as wholesome as this animal encounter.
Nope. Instead, some commentators focused on the two-year-old boy’s genitalia – and P!nk wasn’t having any of it.
She took down the original post but decided to explain why in a second post, shared with the same photograph edited to remove the point of contention.
The 39-year-old mum said:
There’s something seriously wrong with a lot of you out there. Going off about my baby’s penis? About circumcision??? Are you for real?
As any normal mother at the beach, I didn’t even notice he took off his swim diaper. I deleted it because you’re all fucking disgusting.
Calling out some of her 5.7 million followers, she continued:
And now I’m turning off my comments and shaking my head at the state of social media and keyboard warriors, and the negativity that you bring to other people’s lives.
There is something seriously wrong with a lot of you out there. Smfh. Here’s a picture of the pelican we obviously caught and abused for hours before dangling baby penis in its face.
One of the commentators in question, who goes by @mrspyrex on Instagram, caused the kerfuffle when he criticised P!nk – real name Alecia Beth Moore – for having her son circumcised, comparing it to ‘genital mutilation’.
If that wasn’t enough, the mum was trolled only the day before while her family enjoyed a vacation for posting a picture in which her two children were on a boat without a life vest.
She’s also had to defend the decision to raise her daughter, Willow, gender neutral.
Guys, just switch off your phone and go and hug your own kids, rather than making a mockery out of someone else’s experience of motherhood. Jeez.
