Selling Sunset star and villain Christine Quinn is not having it with the mom shamers on Instagram, and she's calling them out. After recently getting married and giving birth to a baby boy, Quinn took to social media to let her fans know they shouldn't let mom shamers get to them and that they shouldn't compare themselves to other moms. While viewers are well aware that Quinn is a fan of drama, it's pretty safe to say she is not putting up with this type of hate as a new mom.
Quinn has been very open about her experience being pregnant and giving birth. After the real estate agent welcomed her baby boy Christian Georges Dumontet into the world on May 15, she got real about what it's like to breastfeed. In an interview with People, the Selling Sunset villain discussed how she didn't realize breastfeeding would be a full-time job and that she now has major respect for other moms. In that same interview, she even touched a little on mom shamers when it comes to breastfeeding: "I always saw on social media a lot of these celebrities get chastised for not only breastfeeding in public, but ... let's talk about Ashley Graham. She was changing her baby in the middle of Target, and people were so judgmental of her. I didn't really think anything of it back then, but I now am like, 'How dare you come for her? How dare you?'"
The Selling Sunset mom seems to be calling out the mom shamers again, but for a different reason. Quinn is getting slammed by her followers on social media because they think she is returning to work too soon after having her baby. Mom shamers were outraged that she would return to work so quickly, leaving her newborn behind. When asked about this on E! News' Daily Pop, the real estate agent said, "The mom-shamers are real, that's for sure. I've gotten both ends of the spectrum. I've gotten people who are like, 'Oh I'm so happy you're getting back to work, that's great!' And then I have people who are like, 'You need to give your body time to recover and heal, and who's taking care of the baby?'"
It's not surprising that Quinn does not seem to be very concerned about the cruel comments coming from social media haters. She told E! News' Daily Pop all that matters is that she knows her husband is an amazing dad, and he is happy to watch the baby while she works. She loves her job, and she is happy to be working again, so she is going to follow her heart despite the shaming and rude comments.
Having a baby, working a full-time job, and starring in a reality show is definitely a lot to juggle for one person, but if anyone can do it, Quinn can. While she has a reputation for being the mean girl on the show, it will be interesting to see if Quinn being a new mom will change her typical mean-girl behavior in the upcoming season of Selling Sunset. It's doubtful that it will, but only time will tell.
