Jessie James Decker is addressing a rumor about some recent vacation pictures she shared on Instagram. After the country star posted some silly images of her kids, people instantly took issue with the way her children looked. Apparently, they looked much too fit.
Speculation that the singer had Photoshopped the pictures of her three kids — Forrest Bradley, 4; Eric "Bubby" Thomas II, 7; and Vivianne Rose, 8 — whom she shares with retired NFL player husband Eric Decker, to look like they had some toned bellies, grew.
Jessie James wrote to one commenter, "From one mother to another, please don't call my children's appearance strange just because they don't look the way you think they should? It's unkind." Now she's unleashing her thoughts in a lengthier post.
Commenters simply couldn't believe that her kids' bodies weren't Photoshopped. But the other rumor was that she and her husband had been pushing her kids to work out. Now Jessie James is clearing the air. She recently took to Instagram to dispel both rumors.
The singer said she "didn't plan on" addressing the rumors at all, but it got so out of hand, she simply had to speak out. "When I posted the pix of our vacation and included the kids being silly flexing on the beach on our thanksgiving trip I had NO clue it would get the reaction it did," she wrote in the caption of a cute video.
Her post continued, "But Being accused of photoshopping abs on my kids (I can't help but laugh) or … the polar opposite over 'overtraining' our kids makes me realize how bizarre our world has gotten regarding the body and what's normal and what's not."
Clearly, Jessie James is not about to let people come for her family.
The conversation is pretty wild. It seems as if the greater public doesn't understand that children's bodies can look totally different and all be variations of normal. Thankfully, Jessie James is clapping back.
"If we wanna do 'better' then do better," she wrote.
The singer ended her post by telling her followers how "proud" she is of her kids, and that she wants to "encourage them to live their dreams."
"So we'll see y'all at the 2032 Olympics, and wearing Bubbys jersey in the stands and dancing at Forrests rock concert✌️."
