For a lot of critics, it’s very hard to hate on someone like Jessica Simpson. It’s because she doesn’t come off as a malicious, manipulative celebrity or person who would wish the worst things on her enemies. She’s just not like that. A lot of people who know Jessica well say that she is a woman, mother and friend who means well, even if she comes off as a little aloof. But she is not someone who would deliberately try to destroy someone else’s career or their professional reputation for that matter.

With that being said, Jessica still gets her fair share of critics, especially when it comes to the way she parents her two children, Max and Ace. For some reason that we just can’t explain, people love to slam her as a mother, simply based on the Instagram photos she often shares with her fans.

Can you believe it? Yeah, it doesn’t make too much sense for us either, but Jess is often called out for the most insane things. Either her son’s hair is too long, her daughter is wearing too much make up or Jess isn’t doing enough to be a hands on mom. Here are 15 of the worst parenting mistakes Jessica Simpson has ever made and the reasons behind them.

15 Max And That Pout

First and foremost, a lot of people have often said that Jessica Simpson might not be doing a good job of raising her daughter, Maxie. That’s because in each and every photo that she shares of the cute little girl, she’s either posing with duck lips or a pout that makes a lot of people feel very uncomfortable. They can’t help but wonder how the little girl learned how to pose in such a suggestive way and if she might be trying to act a little too much like her famous mother.

Of course, little girls will always be little girls. It’s without a doubt that they will try and emulate what their mothers do. It’s normal. That’s why a lot of people can’t wonder what all of the fuss is about.

14 Ace’s Hair

If that weren’t enough, a lot of people also think that Jessica isn’t doing a good job of taking care of her young son, Ace Knute. People have often criticized her for not cutting the little boy’s hair even though he’s a toddler. They’ve left comments suggesting that Jessica take the boy to a hair salon because his hair is so long that it often gets into his eyes.

I mean, is this really a big deal? Why on Earth would people make a huge fuss over how long or short a toddler boy’s hair is? Jessica is the mother of her children and she will decide what is best for them, not Internet trolls. It’s about time they start minding their own business because some of these critics come off as desperately sad people.

13 Hair Dye In Max’s Hair

Seriously, it does seem like people just love to nit pick on Jessica Simpson, no matter what she says or what she does. Just last Halloween people slammed the former chart topper for apparently dying her daughter Maxie’s hair. She was dressed up as Belle from Beauty and the Beast and apparently people thought she was harming the young girl for putting temporary dye in her hair.

I mean, come on already! What little girl hasn’t asked their mother to dye their hair? For crying out loud, it’s not permanent dye and it was part of Maxie’s costume. And by the next day, the hair dye was all washed out. Seriously, Internet trolls are ridiculous in their mommy shaming. Jessica, for her part, has never made a comment about this or other things she’s been shamed over.

12 Those Bikini Photos

If that weren’t enough, a lot of people also mommy shamed Jessica Simpson for allowing her daughter to wear a two-piece bikini and – gasp! – post the photos on her social media accounts for the world to see. I mean, is it really a big deal for a little girl like Maxie to wear a bikini? Of course not. People seriously need to get a grip.

Unfortunately, Jessica has been feeling so much heat over the criticism, that she opted to delete a lot of her children’s photos from Instagram. But again, she’s used to dealing with these trolls. She’s even said in the past, “I think that having a public career is a bargain with the devil.” For the record though, her children are absolutely gorgeous. Jess has nothing to be ashamed over!

11 Mommy Shamed For Her Looks

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any more ridiculous, Jessica Simpson often gets mommy shamed for her appearance and the photos she shares of herself on social media. That’s right! The woman truly can’t catch a break with her awful critics.

Just recently Jessica shared a rather suggestive photo of her in a green satin robe. She captioned it with “Green with Envy.” It didn’t take her haters very long to leave awful comments about how she needs to cover up because she’s a mom. They also shamed her body, which was truly disturbing to read. So, if I have this right, just because you’re a mom that means you can’t dress the way you want to anymore? SMH. People need to get off their smart phones and get a life, STAT.

10 But She’s Been Dealing With This Her Entire Life

It does seem that no matter what Jessica Simpson says or does, people are going to hate on her. Is it because she’s blonde? She’s rich and successful? Or maybe because she’s way too nice? That’s how her fans feel. Jessica has never blasted her critics and it’s about time she did because people think they can say whatever they want about her, her body and her family.

As a matter of fact, when Jessica first found that she was pregnant back in 2011, she recalled, “We were goin’ to have an all-day drinking binge. Gonna ride our bikes, hang out . . . do naughty things. But I started feeling this overwhelming guilt." As you can imagine, people had a lot to say about Jessica feeling guilty. She can’t even be openly honest about her true feelings.

9 Speaking Of Her Pregnancy…

Jessica’s critics had a lot to say about her and her body when she first announced that she was pregnant back in 2011. Jessica made it no secret that she was excited about finally becoming a mother. And she also made it no secret that she was eating what she wanted, when she wanted to as well. As a result, people blasted her for gaining too much weight.

Of course, Jessica Simpson is the last person who cares about what other people have to say about her weight or her appearance for that matter. Back in 2012, she explained, “I came up with it because I was sweating my butt off and I just started calling myself ‘Swamp Ass.’ Like, I have swamp ass right now. I have major swamp ass because I was wearing these Spanx to hold in my gut . . . I’m wearing these Spanx, and we’re under these hot lights . . . It’s very humid in there."

8 People Think She’s A Bad Influence On Her Daughter

It has to be truly heartbreaking to be a celebrity in the spotlight and have to read all of the negative and nasty comments people write about you on a daily basis. But for Jessica Simpson, it’s her daily reality. She can’t escape it. But the worst part has to be when people say she’s a bad influence on her children all based on how she dresses, too!

Jessica once explained, “When you grow up in the music industry, trying to be Britney Spears because that's what sells records and then you realize, 'All I have to do is be myself? I should have thought of that a long time ago,' it feels good to have success come from what's actually inside of you.”

7 She’s Either Too Hot Or Too Childish

Do you think it’s a crime to be a 30-something mother of two and post a photo of yourself online with pigtails? According to Jessica Simpson’s critics, yes, it is. A lot of people thought she looked ridiculous when she recently posted a photo of herself looking like a young schoolgirl. If there’s one celebrity who people love to hate, it’s Jessica Simpson.

If that weren’t enough, people also slam her for taking getaways to Mexico while leaving her children back at home with their caretakers. They think she’s a horrible mom for taking girl getaway trips so she can drink and have a little fun in the sun for a few days out of the year. How in the world is that a crime, too? We just don’t get it.

6 Is This Affecting Her Health?

You can’t help but wonder just how tough a celebrity has to be to deal with all of the B.S. to see and read about themselves everyday. People think that just because you are a celebrity in the public spotlight, they can say whatever they want about you, regardless of how harsh it might sound. You can’t help but wonder if this causes some celebs to have mental breakdowns behind closed doors.

But Jessica knows what kind of person she is and she’s not the kind of person who apologizes for her behavior, either. She’s even said, “I am the first person to go to Barnes & Noble and buy the new self-help book. I like to fill out the surveys, then I get my friends' opinions on how I answered to see if I was being honest with myself or not.”

5 Maxie’s Bikini Top

It’s no secret that Jessica Simpson loves to throw extravagant birthday parties for her two children, Max and Ace. I mean, she loves her kids to the moon and back and if there’s one person who can afford a big birthday blowout, it’s definitely Jessica. The woman is worth millions!

Yet, people had something to say back in 2015 when Jess shared photos of Maxie in a mermaid costume and a bikini top. They slammed her for posting what they thought was an inappropriate photo online. She didn’t say a word about the controversy. Jessica is not one to listen to anyone’s B.S. She simply doesn’t have time for that. She’s even said, “I've become a pretty tough cookie after having a divorce. I think that I've persevered through a lot of talk.”

4 She’s Too Immature To Be A Mom

And yes, people have even slammed Jessica for being “too immature.” They think that she’s not fit to be a mom just because of the things she wears or the things she does. A lot of trolls think that Jessica makes too many mistakes and worse, that she treats her children more like props than her actual kids. Of course, we know that’s not the case at all.

Believe it or not, Jessica has matured. She’s not the person she used to be or the one that you sometimes see on social media. She once explained, “I used to be the kind of person who needed to have a lot of people around. That's where I found my serenity. I needed to have everyone around so I could have my hands and my mind in different places because that's what would calm me down. But now, I just want to be by myself. It's a good but scary place to be.”

3 Yet She Was Born To Work

But if there’s one thing that Jessica Simpson will always be, it is a working mother. She’s just not the kind of person who wants to sit around the house waiting for something to happen. Yes, she loves her children and her family life, but at the same time, she also loves to work. Her career is just as important to her.

But then again, it’s not like Jessica has a choice here. After all, her husband Eric Johnson hasn’t been working for the last several years. Jess is the only breadwinner of their family. Jessica once explained, “I'm never going to be a woman who doesn't work. At 12 I was emancipated from my parents so I could sign my first record deal. I think I was born working!”

2 They’ve Even Slammed Her For Her Divorce

For some reason or another that we just can’t explain, people even slammed Jessica for her divorce and for being jealous of her ex-husband Nick Lachey’s wife, Vanessa Lachey. A lot of people have even compared her parenting skills to that of Vanessa’s. Can you believe it? People definitely go way too far.

Yet Jessica doesn’t let her trolls get the best of her. She’s been very open about her divorce from Nick. She’s said in the past, “I've learned that sometimes love is not enough. You can have a soul mate and be madly in love with that person, but it's not necessarily enough. I think you have to have personalities that mesh well. You have to be the yin to their yang. You also have to be open to figuring things out together and communicating even when it's the last thing you want to do.”

1 But She Always Puts Her Family First

Despite all of the negative criticism, Jessica makes it pretty clear that she always puts her family first. People might not like the way she raises her children, but Jessica doesn’t let that stop her for being the best mom that she can be. Plus, she’s realized that as a public figure, people are going to hate on her no matter what she says or does. You can’t make everyone happy.

But her family is her number one priority. She’s even said, “There are little things that you kind of obsess over. I never knew how protective I was until I had my own child. I’m already thinking about intruders coming into the house and what our escape route would be.”
