Jessica Simpson and her family went all out for Halloween this year, but the mother-of-two ended up getting mommy-shamed for dying her five-year-old daughter’s hair.
The 37-year-old singer and her husband Eric Johnson dressed up as musical duo Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, while their son Ace and daughter Maxwell went as a cowboy and Belle from Beauty and the Beast, respectively.
Jessica proudly took to Instagram to share a photo of her family dressed in their costumes, and some people were quick to notice that Maxwell’s naturally blonde locks were brown.
Getting into character: Jessica Simpson is being mommy shamed for dying her five-year-old daughter Maxwell’s hair brown for Halloween
Transformation: Maxwell’s hair is naturally blonde, and many people noticed she had darker locks while dressing up as Belle from Beauty and the Beast
Why? After Jessica shared a photo of her family in their Halloween costumes, critics slammed her for dying Maxwell’s hair to better suit her costume
Maxi’s hair is noticeably darker in the snapshot, and many accused Jessica of dying her daughter’s hair.
‘Why would you color your daughter’s hair at such a young age ????????????????????’ one person wrote, while another noted: ‘I love Jessica, but she dyed her daughter’s hair.’
Someone else complimented the family’s ‘great costumes’ but couldn’t resist asking if Maxwell’s hair was dyed.
‘I hope not. Her blond hair was so beautiful! Hopeful just temp wash out color,’ the person wrote.
Calm down: Other people, however, were quick to defend Jessica, with many pointing out that Maxi’s darker hair color was most likely the result of a spray-in color or a temporary dye
Relax everyone: Less than a week after Halloween, a new photo on Jessica’s Instagram page showed that Maxwell’s hair was blonde again
Other people, however, were quick to defend Jessica, with many pointing out that Maxi’s darker hair color was most likely the result of a spray-in color or a temporary dye.
‘Y’all need to relax about Maxwell’s hair. She didn’t dye her hair,’ one person wrote. ‘You can see her blonde hair in her braid if you look close.
‘Jessica probably used a temporary root touch-up spray in brown for her costume so it’ll wash out. So relax y’all, jeez.’
Less than a week after Halloween, the mom took to Instagram to share a photo of Maxi making faces, and it was clear that any temporary dye or spray in that the little girl had used for her costume had washed out.
Proud parents: Jessica, who is pictured with her husband Eric Johnson, is frequently scrutinized on social media
‘You’re too old’: In early October, Jessica shared a photo of herself rocking pigtails, and many people claimed the hairstyle wasn’t ‘age appropriate’
Jessica has yet to respond to the criticism, and her daughter’s hair is clearly back to its natural blonde.
However, it seems like the mother-of-two can’t catch a break when it comes to social media.
In early October, Jessica shared a photo of herself rocking pigtails, and many people claimed the hairstyle wasn’t ‘age appropriate’ with one naysayer commenting:’You’re too old. Try to look your age.’
And over the summer she came under fire for posting a photo of Maxi in a pink and blue bikini. Haters quickly accused the former singer of sexualizing the minor and said the move was ‘inappropriate.’
Jessica later removed the photo following the criticism.
