Pink had some strong words for those trying to mom-shame her after a photo she posted on Instagram Sunday elicited some critical comments.
In the image, it appears that her daughter Willow, 8, and son Jameson, 2, are running through the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany.
“Τhis place is not definitely a hide and seek place, dear Pink,” one person wrote.
Pink responded with a caption which began “Berlin, I love you. #holocaustmemorial #panamarestaurant #cocktailclasses #history #herstory #worldtour.”
“And for all of the comments; these two children are in actuality Jewish, as am I and the entirety of my mothers family,” the singer wrote. “The very person who constructed this believed in children being children, and to me this is a celebration of life after death. Please keep your hatred and judgment to yourselves.”
Previous Backlash
It’s not the first time Pink has faced down the shamers.
In April, Pink said during an appearance with daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres that she would no longer be sharing photos of her children after negative comments regarding a photo showing her son without his diaper on.
“We live on a farm. My kids are naked. It’s what happens,” she said.
“People went as far as saying, ‘Someone should call Child Services,’ because he didn’t have a diaper on, and ‘How dare I?’—just some of the nastiest things,” she added.
Pink said the negative comments were brutal to read. “I cried so hard after that because I like to share my family. … I’m prouder of my kids than anything I’ve ever done and I just won’t share them anymore. I won’t do it,” she said.
She also added that she is aware that as a celebrity she is in the limelight, but that she takes issue with “keyboard warriors.”
“There’s a kind way to be online. I’m open to kindness online,” she said.
The image that received the backlash is still on her Instagram page, but she changed the caption.
“There’s something seriously wrong with a lot of you out there,” she wrote on the Instagram post. She added that, “as any normal mother at the beach, I didn’t even notice he took off his swim diaper.”
She added, “I deleted it because you’re all [expletive] disgusting. And now I’m turning off my comments and shaking my head at the state of social media and keyboard warriors.”
“And the negativity that you bring to other people’s lives,” she wrote. “There is something seriously wrong with a lot of you out there.”
During a recent interview with Carson Daly that aired on NBC’s “Today” on Friday, April 26, she said she has a “love-hate” relationship with social media.

“After the latest criticisms, I’m so tired of it,” she told Daly. “People are just getting nastier and nastier. I think I’ll probably take a break. I think I will stop sharing my children as much as I do.”
The singer has a daughter named Willow and son Jameson with husband Carey Hart.
While she addressed the negative sides of social media, she added that it’s also “a place where love totally exists and where so many good things have happened.”
She said she “never” regrets sharing photos of her family online, but she is wary of the criticism.
“I think people have forgotten their manners,” she said.
