For some reason, not everyone out there is excited to see Christina El Moussa in a bikini.
Late last week, the Flip or Flop co-host shared a number of revealing pictures on Instagram, flaunting her taut body for followers as part of a photo shoot for L*Space Swimswear.
Not up for debate was whether or not El Moussa looks terrific in a two-piece.
Because she very clearly does.
But some Internet users have taken public issue with the photos because they also featured El Moussa’s six-year old daughter, Taylor, in the very same two-piece bathing suit.
This is the World Wide Web.
So these users didn’t view the images as some nice mother and daughter bonding time. They viewed the image as example of Christina being an awful parent, of course.
El Moussa signed online in the days following the pictures going viral and saw that she was accused of exploiting her six-year old for fame.
Even worse, she was accused of doing so while inappropriately sharing photo of her six-year old in a bikini.
In response, El Moussa has chosen to go the sarcastic route over the irate route.
“Our first slumber party!! 6 kids, a dog and 2 moms,” the home designer captioned the following snapshot of some children playing in an above-ground pool in the backyard.
She added:
“So fun, crazy, but so fun… *sorry just realized kids in swimwear again.. it’s cali people it’s what we do*
That last statement was clearly a dig at parent shamers who really do need to get a life.
Mostly due to the Internet being a terrible place, even this seemingly innocent photo earned some criticism for El Moussa.
A few women out there called Christina out for having a child who can’t swim standing so close to open water.
“No one is a hater, but as a mother it is scary to have a toddler being that close to a pool!” wrote Instagram user luvmyhub3.
Shot back El Moussa, rightfully peeved over this kind of analysis:
OMG 1. It’s a beach entry if he fell in it’s only a foot high, he would be ok 2. It’s not his first time in or around the pool,but thanks for your “concern” aka judgment 3. AND most importantly I am right there and could be to him in 3 seconds SMH at this …..!!!!
With the exception of these recent entries, El Moussa has mostly been in the news for her love life.
She and her fellow Flip or Flop host, Tarek El Moussa, filed for divorce in December.
Christina has said that she and her estranged husband are “getting along really, really well right now,” while the break-up may actually have helped their HGTV careers.
Meanwhile, Christina originally moved on from Tarek by dating her family’s contractor, a man named Gary Anderson.
With that romance now over, El Moussa was spotted at a hockey game last week and is rumored to be dating NHL player Nate Thompson.
“Honestly a relationship is the farthest thing from my mind right now,” she had told Entertainment Tonight earlier in the month “It’s not even on my radar.”
But when you look like Christina El Moussa, sometimes relationships find you even when you aren’t looking for them.
We’ll keep readers apprised of the status of El Moussa and Thompson, along with the status of Christina’s bikini body.
And those who have found fault in her recent kid photos?
Go outside. Take a deep breath. Relax. Get a life.
