Pink says she’s going to stop posting photos of her kids after being Instagram shamed

Keeley Ryan

Pink said that she won’t be sharing any more photos of her children on social media.

The Walk Me Home singer said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she made the decision after trolls said the “nastiest things” underneath a recent family photo.

The now-deleted Instagram photo showed her and her kids, 2-year-old Jameson and 7-year-old Willow, with a pelican – and the mum-of-two was criticised over the fact that her son wasn’t wearing a diaper.

The photo has been re-shared onto Pink’s Instagram account, with Jameson’s genitals scribbled over.

She explained that she “cried so hard” after the incident, adding:

“I didn’t realise, I didn’t look at it that way.

“It was a pelican, it flew into our room and spent two hours with us which it was incredible and then I got worried it was sick so I called animal rescue, no one wanted a pelican…

“We tried to give it smoked salmon – it was the only thing we had that was like fish – it was just an incredible experience for my family.

“People went as far as saying someone should call child services because he didn’t have a diaper on and how dare I and just like some of the nastiest things.

“I cried so hard after that because I like to share my family, it’s my proudest moment.

“I’m prouder of my kids than anything I’ve done in my whole life and I just won’t share them anymore, I won’t do it.

“I’m not posting pictures of them anymore.”

The mum-of-two added that she thinks its the right time for her to stop sharing so many photos of her children as her daughter is getting older.

She continued:

“It’s also a good time [to stop sharing photos] though, Willow is seven now so it’s time to pull her back.”
