"Anything but praise is unwelcome," the 'Vanderpump Rules' star wrote
Lala Kent has had enough of “mom shaming.”
The Vanderpump Rules star, 32, addressed the negative comments she received on a recent Fourth of July Instagram post she shared, which featured a shot of her daughter Ocean, 2, as well as herself in a bodysuit.
The post, which was captioned, “Mom’s turn,” received backlash from some critics who called her out for the back-to-back photos. She reposted the pic — which showed her posing in a one-piece black bodysuit with both her hands on her butt — in an Instagram Story on Thursday.

“I’m so over the mom shaming from some of you women. I’m a parent, I work full time, rarely have a moment just for me, and for just a second on the 4th of July I felt hot and wanted a picture," she wrote.
She added, “Anything but praise is unwelcome. If you have anything negative to say go f— yourself. Leave me alone.”
The reality star went on to note that Ocean and Scheana Shay's 2-year-old daughter Summer, who were featured in a separate photo in the initial post, weren’t present during the photo shoot.
“For the record, the kids weren’t watching me take this picture,” she wrote. “And even if they were, we all have butts. Take time to love on yours.”
The Give Them Lala author went on to share a sweet video with Ocean. In the clip, the toddler laid across her lap on top of a towel. As Kent lowered the camera to her face, Ocean hit it with her arm and began laughing.
Kent could be seen laughing along as she teased her daughter, “Are you laughing? Do I see a smile?”
She also shared a video hanging out with Shay, 38, in an outdoor area with swans while wearing a two-piece black swimsuit and beige skirt cover-up.
