“That Is Gross,” Mom Harshly Slammed Online for “Inappropriate” Behavior with Her Daughter

TV personality and model Coco Austin, 45, posted a video that has sparked a divide online, with some people criticizing her harshly. In the clip, the mother of one is seen swimming underwater with her 7-year-old daughter. However, many viewers quickly focused on one specific moment, expressing their belief that it was inappropriate for a mother and daughter.

An underwater video.

The model shared a video with her 3 million Instagram followers, filmed with her phone. The underwater footage captured the sweet moment of the mother-daughter duo swimming toward each other, and as they reached the pool’s bottom, they exchanged a tender kiss.

Austin captioned the video, “Having fun with my Samsung phone, it actually takes great video underwater .. Chanel just loves kissing her mama, doesn’t she? She is adorable... She is my obsession.”

Opinions were sharply divided.

As of now, the video has garnered over 27 thousand likes, with many fans quick to praise the loving bond between the mother and daughter, showering them with warm words and compliments.

However, not everyone was happy with the video. Several viewers shared their discomfort, with some feeling the affection was excessive. One person wrote, “This kiss is held too long for my comfort a peck on the lips is fine but this is not appropriate I feel!” Another commenter simply said, “That is gross.”

A third added, “While kissing on the mouth isn’t immediately weird, the video is a bit weird. It’s clearly choreographed, and the second kiss goes on for ages.”

In response to these reactions, many fans rushed to defend the star’s actions, emphasizing that there was nothing wrong with Coco’s behavior.

One person commented that some of the critics must have grown up “in households with zero affection.” Another supporter added, “So y’all don’t kiss/hug your children? OR, your parents never gave y’all any affection? Because it shows. This is a beautiful video.”

Coco Austin isn’t the only celebrity whose parenting choices have sparked controversy. Even David Beckham has addressed the reasons behind kissing his daughter Harper on the lips, and we appreciate his openness.
