Have you ever been body-shamed before? Even though you might not be a celebrity, it seems to happen every day. Either you’re too fat, too skinny, too muscular, too this, or too that. Even though everyone has a body, it doesn’t mean that everyone has to voice their opinion about yours. Especially online.
Ayesha Curry, an actress and popular Food Network star, faced two types of criticisms after posting a photo on Instagram — and it’s just a reminder that people need to keep their mouths shut.
In 2011, Curry married NBA star Steph Curry, and the couple currently has three children. In 2012, daughter Riley was born. 2015 brought along another daughter named Ryan. Breaking the R-naming trend was Canon, their first baby son, who was born just last year.
Now, in case you don’t know much about babies, here are a few things to know. One, a woman’s body changes drastically before and after giving birth — especially when three kids are involved. And two, there’s literally nothing more important to a mother than the health and safety of her children.
Still, fans of the Curry family chose to voice their opinions. The first was about Ayesha, who shared a celebratory group photo that also included Canon.
One fan, who went by the handle of 6493jay, actually had the gall to ask if she was pregnant again.
Ladies and gentleman, let me be the one to tell you that this isn’t the best thing to ask a woman unless she’s confirmed it herself.
As expected, plenty of people took 6493jay down. Having someone judge your body after three kids is really uncalled for.
But, Curry’s response was one of the best. It shows she’s so used to these types of remarks, even if they’re completely cringeworthy.
But then? People started attacking baby Canon.
Canon will be celebrating his first birthday on July 2nd of this year. Since he’s a baby who’s barely one, he’s seen the pediatrician quite a lot. Babies need constant check-ups, just to make sure they’re progressing well.

So, you can understand Curry’s anger when she got a comment that insinuated something was wrong. It’s since been deleted, which means that hopefully, the user is feeling remorse.
According to CNN, the comment aggressively stated, “If that kid is 30lbs he’s got some serious health issues going on.”
That’s when Curry stepped in, once again. And her comment is right to the point.
Plenty of people applauded the fact that Curry stood up for her son. This kid is already getting fat-shamed and he hasn’t even celebrated a birthday yet.
Luckily, most of her fans seemed a little disgusted that both of these statements were made. Curry’s body is her own, and Canon is in great hands.
There’s a general guideline for where babies should be, both height and weight-wise. But honestly, all babies are different. And I have a feeling the person who made that comment isn’t a licensed pediatrician. Just a hunch.
The most important part is that Canon is fed, loved, and in a safe environment. It’s obvious that all three points are true.
The comments about Canon’s weight even leaked over into another photo. So, Curry may be spammed with unnecessary comments like this for a few days.
Fingers crossed it’s nothing more than a troll who’s looking for a response from Curry. Because the more comments she gets like this, the more she’s going to feel like people are attacking her parenting.
It’s pretty obvious that all three kids are healthy and happy. So next time you want to try to take a celebrity down by fat-shaming their kid, think again. Ayesha Curry knows Canon better than anyone, and if something was wrong with his health, she’d make sure he was okay.
