Totally fine when other moms give *positive* advice and I’m always open to feedback to an extent. But this woman (who’s [sic] profile pic is of her holding her own baby) decided to DM me this…”
“What world are we living in?? I understand that I put my life out there publicly, which I honestly want to STOP doing when extremely rude and harmful messages toward my baby are sent to me,” she continued. “But are we ok as a society? Also, you yourself are a MOM!!!! Would you want me, a total stranger to DM you this about your child? Because he’s drinking from a bottle??? Like WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING.”
Jenna added, “I love my social media community on here and really feel so connected to each of you. But enough is enough with the sad trolls/bullies on here. Please unfollow me IMMEDIATELY and respectfully get a life.”
The following day, Jenna shared a follow-up message thanking fans for all their support after her initial post.
“I honestly cried reading ALL your messages,” she began. “My heart really hurt yesterday at how vile and mean some people can be, but once again I was shown just how much this little community of mine on here can also show up. You gave me the love, support, and kindness that I believe in!”
“Let’s remember that we are all humans, navigating the best we can!” Jenna added. “I promise to try to only spread positivity and light on my deed and hope you feel inspired to do the same. But seriously, thank you for having my back and making me feel seen. So grateful to each of you!!”
