A-list couple slammed for feeding their ‘obese’ kids too much junk food - and their response is everything

This photo has sparked a major online war - by Amy Sinclair
  • 19 Jan 2019

When Tori Spelling posted a photo of her family with fellow 90210 star Ian Ziering to Instagram overnight, the last thing she was expecting was a major social media backlash. 

Smiling with husband Dean McDermott and their five children - Stella, Hattie, Liam, Beau and Finn - Tori wrote:  'I can't believe Ian Ziering and I once played Beverly Hills teens Steve Sanders and Donna Martin and now we are married to the loves of our lives and between us have 7 kiddos who all adore each other!'

A-list couple slammed for feeding their ‘obese’ kids too much junk food - and their response is everything

But within minutes, cruel trolls had swarmed to the post, criticising Tori over the ‘state’ of her children, pictured to the left of the photo - slamming them for being overweight, dishevelled and looking ‘neglected’.

Wrote heartlessly one: 'I don't know how the kids are so chubby when their parents are not?'

Another commented: 'Notice how her and Dean are cleaned up and looking good while she let her kids make an appearance with greasy hair and wrinkled clothes.' 

Said a third: ‘If you as a mother do everything to lose weight and even advertise for it, and your children are all obese, then ask yourself the question why all those children are obese??’

Just some of the mean, cruel comments.

I can't believe @ianziering and I once played BH teens Steve Sanders and Donna Martin and now we are married to the loves of our lives and between us have 7 kiddos who all adore each other! . Tonight, @erinziering and I hosted a screening of @adogswayhome for @sonypictures at @sohohouse fir family and friends and a massive kiddo takeover. . What a special movie! It'll make you laugh, cry, and go Ahhhh many times. We all loved it! What a special night (even in this crazy LA rain)

One more cruel commenter added: ‘The kids look terrible.’

But not having any of it, proud dad Dean took to the post to defend his kids and lash out at the body-shakers. 

'I am absolutely horrified and disgusted by the comments being left about my children. Body shaming and bullying my children??!! 

'What is wrong with you people??!!' 

And he explained: 'For your information we went from a long day at school to the movie. And I don't know any child that is NOT disheveled at the end of the day. 

'Not to mention that just before this picture was taken, they were wrestling and running around with all the other kids that were at the movie.

Dean sticks up for his kids in this fierce comeback.

'So I apologize we didn't get the iron and steamer out to make them perfect for you. Their kids. They're messy and dirty. That's what they do. 

'And what's wrong with shopping at Target??!! Over half of America shops there. The way they grow out of clothing so quickly is astounding. Are we supposed to shop at Gucci?? These are kids folks. Messy stinky little bundles of fun, laughter and love.'

He went on to slam the ‘haters’ saying: ‘They’re going through different growth phases, and even if our children are on the bigger side. Who cares. They’re happy and healthy and I’m sorry they don’t look like skinny supermodels. People come in all shapes and sizes. So who are you to judge. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for passing such horrible judgement on innocent beautiful children. Shame on you all!!!!”

He concluded: ‘Thank you to all the people who came to our defense. You’re all kind compassionate souls. Down with the haters!! Up with love!!’

Hundreds then commented to support Dean’s post - outraged by the trolls mean comments. 

‘Dad of the year,’ wrote one. Said another: ‘Go Dean!’
