Who cares? Celebrity parents have the same obligation as the rest of us, to protect their children, but maybe even moreso as they could get targeted.  They have every right to post whatever they want, to the degree that they are comfortable with, regardless of the demands of rest of us.  


Let's look at this logically @JeanLouiseFinch . They want to protect their children, because they could be targeted, so they release pictures of the children from the back, or the foot or head to remind the culprit they have children to target. 

 

Nonsense they release the pictures because their giant ego's want to be in the lime light, and they actually think we are grateful to get to look at their child's, foot, head whatever. 

 

 


So, in that case, it's reasonable to assume that's your gratification as well  if/when you post pics of yourself and/or your family on social media or send through texts.

I think this is a nice picture.

 

People complain that "celebrities" post too much personal info and then complain that they do not post enough.

 

It is what they chose so either stop following celebrities around or accept how they choose to post their pics.  They are not out to please YOU.


 


@Cakers3 Who said any of us follow them around? We click on a headline, and we find this nonsense a family from behind.

Of course they (or anyone) has every right to post their pics anyway and anywhere they choose. I frankly don't care about seeing any celeb's kids' pics. What I don't like is the hypocrisy around it.  They insist on privacy and protection for safety of their families, but then post pics anyway and then whine that their privacy isn't respected.  

And yes, I think a lot of it is an ego thing . For example, when Candace Cameron Bure posted a pic of her family she then was upset and complained because not everyone liked the pics.  Not to mention the one with her DH that caused a backlash.  And I like CCB I really do, but the point is, when you put pics out there for all to see, not everyone is going to like them and if you don't want to be subject to any criticism then don't put them out there.

The woman simply posted a picture of her family on her account of her and her family walking away from the camera down a country road.

 

Now she and others are egotiscal, disrespectful along with a myriad.

 

Unbelievable.

Why be so tedious as to take it as personal affront in how a celebrity chooses to photograph their children or not?

@GenXmuse 

You seem to have missed the point. Had the picture just been posted, it may have been viewed as silly, but it wasn't.  Jessica posted that it was a picture of her with Justin and her boys that one had to click on it to see. It was misrepresented, a bait and a joke on those who did. That is what I found offensive and a waste of time.

The only reason celebrities exist is that they please people.  Celebrity means one is celebrated, admired, liked, well known.  If you don't play to people you won't make the big bucks. 

 

If you are famous, that means something different.  It means you are well known, recognized, maybe infamous.

I don't follow Jessica and Justin. I get emails from InStyle, the post with the picture was included in the email, I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

Both of my DILs enjoy taking pictures of the g-children and us walking away from the camera.  I just assumed this was popular.

Well, they should be if they wish to remain popular and enjoy the financial larges that the public provides. I liked Justin's music and found him entertaining when he was on with Jimmy Fallon, who shared his two daughters with the public during lock down, and was mildly interested in his son's. I wouldn't have cared if he and his wife chose not to post pictures, but this set up has me feeling tricked, deceived.

@occasionalrain   If you feel tricked and deceived, that is on you.

 

Whether the picture is going to doom their careers is nonsense.

 

Posters are yapping, again, about "egos" and "staying relevant", and blah blah blah.  As though everyone is a mind-reader.

 

I doubt they are worried about their careers; what they chose to post is their choice.  They are not out to please you.

 

Again, either stop following celebrities expecting them to act the way YOU want them to act or accept their choices.

 

It's that simple.

 

@Cakers3   It's rude how you speak of other posters here, saying they're 'yapping' and their comments are 'blah,blah,blah'.

 

Dismissing other posters by saying "as though eveyone is mind-reader"  while you go on to speculate about J and J,  "I doubt they are worried about their careers."  is hypocritical.   You don't know that.

 

It's not fair you're allowed to speculate while others aren't.

 

Everyone here is allowed their opinion.
