She Did Receive Support.

The beauty guru continued, “But I did it anyway … so in a way I was trolling the trolls. Of course, I got some messages saying she’s too young etc. … but I got a lot more saying, ‘I’m so glad you let her and didn’t care what anyone negative had to say.'”

She Wasn’t Too Bothered By It.

“So, moral of the story is, not everyone is going to agree with everything you do … [and] that’s OK!” the blonde beauty added. “We all are entitled to our own decisions and opinions and thoughts on parenting etc and not everyone is going to agree with you and that’s OK.”
