A 35-year-old dad has found himself in hot water after he was slammed online for sharing a photo of him kissing his baby on the lips.
Aaron Chalmers, an influencer who gained popularity when he appeared on the British reality TV show Geordie Shore before becoming an MMA fighter, has welcomed his third child with his then-partner Talia Outway.
The two shared Romeo, 2, and Maddox, 18 months, alongside Talia’s daughter from a previous relationship, Siennah, 9.
Taking to Instagram, Chalmers shared a photo of himself holding his newborn and giving him a kiss on the lips but the image received a lot of negative remarks.
In an appearance on The Steven Sulley Study Podcast, the influencer has slammed those who shamed him and said: “There must be some sad people, sad, sad people, that must have such sad lives to want to go on social media and abuse.
“You must be sad. Like, you must have a sad life. You must have nothing else in your life than to try and bring others down. Because to me, why?”
He went on: “I had a picture of my newborn, my newborn baby, and I was kissing him. He’s my f***ing son, I made him, he’s mine. [People said] ‘You shouldn’t be kissing the baby on the lips’ and I thought ‘ah, f*** off man..’”
His fans were quick to support the star, with one person writing: “Amen! I still kiss my mum on the lips. She is 60 and I’m 32.”
Another wrote: “Very well said. There’s nothing more precious than a parents love for their child. Trolls need to do one and get a grip while their [sic] at it!!!”
A third added: “100% agree @aaroncgshore mate people are absolutely toxic sometimes. Bitterness is all it comes down to.”
