Former Married At First Sight stars Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli have come under fire after allegedly making comments about their toddler's weight, sparking a wave of criticism from fans and parenting experts alike.
Controversial Remarks Go Viral
The couple, who found fame on the hit reality show, recently shared a video on social media where they appeared to joke about their young child's physique. The clip quickly went viral, with many accusing the pair of fat-shaming their own child.
Outraged Reactions Pour In
Parenting groups and social media users were quick to condemn the remarks, calling them "irresponsible" and "harmful." Child development experts warn that such comments, even made in jest, can have long-lasting effects on a child's self-esteem.
The Couple's Response
While Kalifatidis and Brunelli haven't issued a formal statement, sources close to the couple suggest the comments were taken out of context. However, this hasn't stopped the growing backlash across parenting forums and social platforms.
The incident has reignited discussions about celebrity parenting and the impact of public figures' words on child welfare standards.
