The Kardashian-Jenners’ Best Clapbacks at Mommy-Shamers Through the Years

When Kourtney Slammed Someone Who Claimed She Doesn’t Spend Time With Her Kids

Kourtney had to shut down a mom-shamer who suggested the Poosh founder never spends time with her children. “Oh wow, you’re with your kids finally????” one user commented in a November 2021 Instagram post.

“I’m with my kids every day, thank God. Social media isn’t always real life,” she replied, along with two prayer hands emoji and a red heart.

The Great North Painting Debate

After Kim shared a photo of a gorgeous landscape painted by North, fans began to question whether or not the grade-schooler was actually capable of executing such a fine work of art at her age. However, the proud mom made sure to set the record straight. “DON’T PLAY WITH ME WHEN IT COMES TO MY CHILDREN!!!” she began her fiery message on Instagram on February 9. 

“My daughter and her best friend have been taking a serious oil painting class where their talents and creativity are being encouraged and nurtured. North worked incredibly hard on her painting, which took several weeks to complete,” she continued. “As a proud mom, I wanted to share her work with everyone. I’m seeing op-ed pieces in the media and social media from grown adults breaking down whether or not my child actually painted this! How dare you see children doing awesome things and then try to accuse them of NOT being awesome!?!?! Please stop embarrassing yourselves with the negativity and allow every child to be GREAT!!! NORTH WEST PAINTED THAT PERIOTDDDDDDABCDEFGZFDT!!!!!”

When Khloé Got Shamed for Working Out

After giving birth to True, Khloé was quick to get in shape, and many shamed her for focusing on herself now that she’s a mother. Five weeks after having her daughter, she expressed how she felt on the subject.

“What I’m annoyed about is that I’ve read a couple of times on Twitter that, you know, they feel that I’m focusing too much on my body, but the truth is, I’ve worked out five or six days a week before I got pregnant and that’s my sanctuary and something I love to do,” she said on Snapchat.

When Koko Received Backlash for Not Staying Home

In July 2018, Khloé got backlash for attending a charity event instead of staying at home to take care of her daughter.

“Mommy shamers [are] at a high right now,” the Good American mogul said on social media. “I’m sick, at a charity event, and I’m getting slack [for] being here [because] I have a baby? Her dad is watching her while I’m trying [to] bring awareness [to] an amazing organization, but either way, what’s wrong [with] a new mom letting daddy take over [for] a few hours?”

When Fans Shaded Khlo for Using Baby Formula

When the Revenge Body host revealed she used formula, fans were not having it. However, the Good American founder took the opportunity to gracefully elaborate on her decision.

“Mommy-shaming is real! But the truth is I’ve tried and tried and tried to breast-feed only and it wasn’t working for me,” she wrote in a tweet. “I feel fortunate that I am able to still breast-feed but with the help of formula. Breast-feeding is something I really wanted to do. Just am not fully able.”

When Kim Got Accused of Waxing North’s Eyebrows

In December 2013, Kim shared a sweet close-up of her daughter North and fans assumed she had her then-6-month-old’s eyebrows waxed.

“Do people really think I would wax my daughter’s eyebrows so young? Come on, I’d wait until she’s at least 2 1/2!” she jokingly said, before clearing things up in a second tweet. “I’m kidding!!! Its pretty sick for people to insinuate that I would wax my daughter’s eyebrows. They are thick, natural and amazing!”

When Kylie Went to Coachella

When Kylie attended her first Coachella since becoming a mom, she was getting slammed for being out and about. She didn’t directly address the situation, but she did post a fun cryptic caption to one of her Insta pics. “I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom,” she wrote, referencing Mean Girls.

When Khloé Got Trolled Because of Her Nails

In February 2019, Koko got attacked for her long nails because fans believed it would interfere with her parenting, and she took to Twitter to set the record straight.

“It’s annoying when people talk about my nails,” she began. “Trust me, I manage just fine. The same way I take care of myself, I take care of my baby. There are more serious things to discuss. At least I would hope. Happy Monday to you.”

When People Assumed Kim Didn’t Take Care of Saint

Right before ringing in the new year in 2018, Saint West was sick in the hospital for a few days and Kim was accused of partying, instead of staying with her son. She replied to a fan and let everyone know that couldn’t be further from the truth.

“I haven’t heard this BUT lets get this straight. I did not leave my son for one minute during his hospital stay,” she wrote on Twitter. “We were there Wednesday night to Saturday. NYE WAS SUNDAY NIGHT. People came over when he was already asleep for the night! Don’t even try me when it comes to my kids.”

When Fans Shaded Kourtney for Traveling

Kourtney is known for traveling. When she was in a relationship with ex Younes Bendjima, she did plenty of that — sometimes without her three kids. After getting shamed for not bringing her children with her on vacation, she expressed why it’s important for her to have alone time.

“I’ve definitely learned from my past relationship, where I really wouldn’t travel without the kids and I think it is important to take time — especially because my relationship is important to me and those worlds aren’t colliding right now — just making sure that I make time for both,” she said in a KUWTK episode. “I think going on a trip once in a while reminds me the importance of being present and in the moment when I’m at home, and I think it makes me the best mom that I can be.”

When Kim Cropped North Out of a Pic

In 2014, Kim made headlines for cropping her then-18-month-old daughter out of a photo. “Wait is this really news that I posted a selfie [and] cropped my daughter out? LOL,” Kim tweeted at the time. “Her eyes were closed, and I was feeling my look! Can I live?!?!”

When Fans Criticized Khlo for Cradling Her Bump too Much

Like many pregnant women, Khloé often cradled her baby bump, but even that got the fitness junkie backlash.

“People are very opinionated about my bump. I choose to cradle my bump because it’s MINE,” she tweeted. “I’ve waited for this VERY short moment for YEARS. I have only months to enjoy this phase in my life, so I will touch my bump and love my bump as often as I choose. Mommy loves you, baby!”

When Fans Thought Kim Bought North a Corset

The Kardashians always receive criticism for their fashion choices, especially when their kids are involved. In July 2017, Kim was slammed because people assumed she made North wear a corset when in reality, it was just a design that made it look that way.

“I would never put my daughter in a corset! It’s a dress I bought that is a cotton fabric that laces up & looks like a corset! Just decoration,” she tweeted, along with a video, which displayed different angles of the dress.

When Kylie Poked Fun at Mom Shamers With a Cake

To prevent from getting mommy-shamed, Kylie jokingly made sure Travis Scott‘s birthday cake, which featured the family of three on a roller coaster, was a safety zone for her daughter. “That is very unsafe. I told them, make sure Stormi [Webster] has a seatbelt,” she said on Snapchat at the time.

When Kim Got Slammed for Her Body

While pregnant with Saint, trolls accused Kim of having him via surrogacy and also criticized her physique. She took to Instagram to fight back. “First they said I’m too skinny, so I have to be faking it … Now they say I’m too big so I have to be faking it … SMH!” she wrote. “Some days I’m photographed before I eat & look smaller, some days I’ve just eaten & I look bigger. It’s all a part of the process. I think you all know me well enough to know I would document the process if I got a surrogate. Everyone’s body is different, every pregnancy is very different!”

When North Straightened Her Curls

After posting a sweet photo of her husband, Kanye West, and their daughter North, fans were quick to notice the young girl’s straightened hair, and they expressed their concern for hair damage. Kim said she had it all under control, though. “She is allowed twice a year, on her birthday and birthday party! This pic was taken back in June on her bday,” she wrote in a quote tweet.

When Someone Was Rude to True

In July 2018, someone tagged KoKo in a really mean tweet regarding her baby girl’s appearance. Naturally, she wasn’t having it. “What self-respecting adult would even comment on a child’s appearance? What type of disgusting human being are you? It’s pathetic that you are this miserable in your life,” she replied.

When Kourtney Posted a Bikini Pic on Vacay

Once again, Kourt got backlash about vacationing. In a bikini photo the mom of three posted while on a family trip, a fan suggested she doesn’t spend enough time with her kids. The mom of three revealed that wasn’t the case.

“My son was taking the photo, and the other two were sitting at a table across from me,” she replied. “Thank you so much for your concern.”

When True Was Photographed With a Luxurious Gift

When Khloé posted a photo of True in a toy car, people were quick to say she’s raising her to be materialistic. “We read children’s baby stories everyday and we say prayers every single night, but you should not pass judgement either way. Why be so negative if you are a child of God?” she replied in the comments.

When a Fan Suggested Kourt Doesn’t Work

In October 2018, Kourt posted another sexy bikini photo and captioned it, “Sometimes you need a day away,” to which a fan replied by claiming the TV star isn’t hardworking. The oldest Kardashian quickly came up with the best response.

“Let me respond to you with all the time I have … oh wait, my attorney’s on the other line to discuss six business deals, I have a camera in my face filming season SIXTEEN of KUWTK (you may have heard of it) and I’m raising my three amazing children … God bless you and your worry about me.”

When Kim Allowed North to Wear Makeup

Kim used to allow North to play around with her makeup, and of course, that welcomes the trolls who say she’s too young to be wearing it in the first place. It’s a good thing Keeks doesn’t care what they say.

“Relax, mom-shamers, it’s coming off in a few mins. I needed a bribe to get out of the door … you feel me?!?!?!” she said in a Snapchat video about North contouring her face. 

When Kourtney Didn’t Acknowledge the Haters

In some cases, the best clapback is to not pay them mind. Kourtney got some serious backlash for posting this photo of herself, alongside her youngest son, Reign Disick, who was wet from taking a swim. However, she remained unbothered, not giving the haters what they want. You go, girl!
