Coco Austin was once again criticized from social media users questioning her parenting decisions.
“Shake it”
On Tuesday, Austin shared a video of herself, daughter Chanel, and a group of family members. In the clip, Chanel begins to squirm. And family members proceeded to cheer her on.
The sound of MC Shy D’s “Shake It” was added to a short portion of the clip.
In Austin’s video caption, she explains that her daughter is trying to imitate Tina Belcher in the TV show Bob’s Burgers.
Gotta love family time! The adults in our family were playing TikTok and Chanel ran out midway to make us laugh.. She loves to joke #tinabobsburgers #bobsburgers#tinabelcher #dancemoves
Instagram users react
Austin immediately received backlash from some viewers who rushed to the video’s comments section.
It was a child. What happened to you?
I don’t find this okay, especially on social media. There are so many sick minds here, the safety and privacy of this child should be better kept. But to each of their own.
Hmm prepare her when she grows up..not a good role model
Let a black woman cheer on her daughter while she Twerking, the media will have a field day with it. But one white woman just giggled and laughed.
SMH just whyyyy, this is not okay!
Other users have shown their support for the mother.
Why are people harassing her? It’s her baby, she can do what she wants. If Ice-T doesn’t care, why should you?
All complainers need to shut up!! This is not your child! If you want a lot of input in raising a child, have your own. This baby isn’t doing anything vulgar and if it were anyone else, you’d go on saying how cute she is. Y’all is sick
Just a happy kid PLEASE don’t make this bigger than a happy kid❤
Ice-T seems to respond to social media critics
Austin’s husband and Chanel’s father, Ice-T, appears to have responded to the criticism directed at his wife. And share a quote on his Instagram page.
He also added a short caption.
Christmas is over.. My advice is that you go into 2023 with THIS attitude if you want to WIN.
Recent criticism towards Austin’s parenting
As The Shade Room previously reported, Austin was recently criticized for bathing 7-year-old Chanel in the sink. At that time, social network users were also not afraid to share their objections.
Now why would Ice T and CoCo let their eldest daughter bathe in the kitchen sink as if she were an infant? pic.twitter.com/bLFUgPbQy7

There’s no way Ice T let Coco wash their daughter in the sink

Austin defended his decision later.
Wow! Here we go again! Giving my little girl a bath in the tub went viral? SMH. Friends must know that I am an unusual mother. I do what works and is easier for me. Some might want to take some hints rather than slander me.
According to People, Austin was emotional while addressing the constant criticism she received about her parenting during an episode of the series. Tamron Hall Exhibition.
I’m always under the microscope and you don’t hear what you’re doing well. You don’t hear the good, you just hear a lot of the bad. And I know I’m a good mother… I’ve dedicated the last six years, putting everything aside, career, everything, just for her. And you just want a little love, you want a little respect from everyone.
Roommate, what are your thoughts on this incident?
