P!NK has clapped back at haters who slammed her on social media for evidently choosing to have her son circumcised.
“There’s something seriously wrong with a lot of you out there,” the pop star wrote on Instagram. “Going off about my baby’s penis? About circumcision??? Are you for real?”
The backlash started when P!NK shared a pic of an encounter with a pelican she had with her son Jameson, 2, and daughter Willow, 7. The boy’s penis was barely visible in the photo but it was enough to sparks negative comments from anti-circumcision advocates.
P!NK deleted the photo and re-posted it with black scribbles covering Jameson’s junk.
“As any normal mother at the beach, I didn’t even notice he took off his swim diaper,” she explained. “I deleted it because you’re all f**king 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. There is something seriously wrong with a lot of you out there. Smfh.”
P!NK added: “Here’s a picture of the pelican we obviously caught and abused for hours before dangling baby penis in its face.”
Self-described "intactivist" Seth Edward reacted on Twitter. "She posts her son's genitals on social media and then gets pissed when people call her out for mutilating her son's penis," he wrote, "and she thinks human rights advocates are the gross ones."
Of course, many fans are backing the singer. "You are the most loving & caring Mama!! Don't let sick people shade you off with negativity," one tweeted. "We are living in a sick & sad world where people focus on a baby penis!!!! , whereas all I saw was 2 kids and a mum amazed by a beautiful pelican! And so was I. Love ya Mama!!"
Another tweeted: "Who TF in their stable mind, sits there and goes OMG THAT MALE INFANT IS CIRCUMCISED! STOP THE PRESSES! No one."
