Christina El Moussa posed for a photoshoot with her 6-year-old daughter, Taylor, in bikinis, and some celebrity-watchers are slamming the "Flip or Flop" star for the pics.
El Moussa seemingly posted a snap from the shoot on Instagram to show off the family's new French bulldog puppy, but some viewers were appalled by the revealing swimwear in the photo, with one user calling the pic “completely inappropriate."
“I am done with your show you are not making good mother choices,” one wrote.
“I agree. What mother does this???” another commented.
The photo was part of a larger shoot that El Moussa shot with her daughter for LSpace by Monica Wise, a swimwear line.
Some fans of the reality TV star defended the mother-of-two, speaking out against the backlash the pics recieved.
“What stupid reactions so many have,” an Instagram user wrote. “There is nothing inappropriate here just a mom enjoying bringing up her kid & making that girl feel good about herself.”
“If they want to say this is inappropriate they need to check out other profilers,” one chimed in. “Go to the beach and see what most people wear. I see nothing wrong with this photo. It’s a great photo.”
Earlier this month, El Moussa opened up to ET about her split with ex-husband Tarek.
“Honestly, I’m doing really good. I’m in a really good place,” she said to the celebrity news site. “The kids are happy, they’re healthy. Tarek and I are in a good spot. We have a lot of things that we’re working on, cool things coming in the future, so we’re just looking forward.”
The personalities behind the popular HGTV show share two kids, Taylor and 1-year-old son Brayden.

Every family has pics of their kids hanging out in swimwear. Or running around half naked, etc. etc. etc. and they are posted online. How is this different? Because the mom is really pretty?

I'm sick to death of hearing about these people. Why is their divorce so news worthy? I don't even like their show & I'm a huge HGTV watcher. The Frenchy is cute.

Lexxy! I miss you!!!!!
I'm a big HGTV watcher and I never cared much for them either. Too phony. I do like to see the finished products, however. Just don't like her voice. She comes off bitchy.

And have you noticed every kitchen is done the same. White quartz counters.....and she is always "obsessed" with whatever...her word "obsessed".
It was cool that one of their fans caught his thyroid cancer from the lump in his throat. I don't think that was BS publicity.
I find it crazy that people are bothered by the pictures.
They are about as innocent as they can be.

I looked at the pictures for at least a good full minute each. Trying my darnedest to figure out what the fuss was about. Gave up after I decided it was just a mother and a daughter in swimsuits.
** warning: sarcasm ahead **
Oh my heavens! The horror!
[pause, with dramatic hand cupping of mouth, widely agape, for a brief second or two]
A woman and a girl, that happen to be mother and daughter, in perfectly acceptable and even fairly modest swimwear. And they were smiling and happy.
I think, because of the non provocative pose, it's about as catalog as a picture can get.

It's the forehead and brow area that makes me think there is a lot of botox.
It's just my opinion.

Most 33 year olds don't suffer from enough wrinkles and lines to warrant botox. Regardless, her face is full of expression, which rather rules out botox.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
Uh. No. There is very little expression in her face.
She smiles but her forehead never moves.
Besides, she has had plastic surgery.

I understand that if you start having botox early enough, you don't get the laugh lines. Personally, I think being able to form facial expressions is much more attractive, even if it results in a few wrinkles.

I wouldn't call the suit "modest", especially the last one which barely covers her lady parts. But meh.

Compared to some of the barely there bikinis, that might contain 4 to 6 square inches of flat "covering" fabric total, all held together by small and even sometimes invisible or transparent straps, that I've seen women wearing at pools and on beaches? Yes, I believe that qualifies as "fairly modest".
I think she looks fine but that second suit should cover a bit more, imo. I do agree, FNW, that she really does come off bitchy to me on the show and that I would much rather have the laugh lines than fill my face with botox or anything else for that matter. I'm proud of the wrinkles I have. I've laughed a lot in my lifetime. hahaha
Yes. I've seen women in bikinis like that (and smaller, if you can believe it!) at places like pools and beaches as well as occasionally laying out and tanning in local parks when I was in cities that weren't near any public water areas.
At pools, the beach, swimming or sunning, I don't have a problem with it.
But put on a t shirt or something any and everywhere else.
