Victoria Beckham in hot water over photo shows her kissing daughter Harper on lips
VICTORIA Beckham copped flak after she posted a photo that showed her kissing her daughter on the lips, but other parents are coming out in support.
PARENTS are coming out in force to support Victoria Beckham after she caused controversy by posting a picture of her kissing daughter, Harper, on the lips.
In the Instagram pic, Beckham is seen kissing the five-year-old on the lips in a photo she shared for Harper’s birthday, reports The Sun.
She wrote: “Happy Birthday baby girl. We all love you so much, kisses from mummy.”
But social media users can’t make up their mind whether the mother-daughter kiss is OK or not.
One wrote; ““It is strange to kiss your parents on the lips. We need to stop saying to other people it isn’t.”
Some some even branded them “pervy” and “lesbians.”
One person wrote: “Ew sorry I’m old fashioned it looks like they making out”.
Another added: “Why tf are you kissing your daughter on the mouth.”
But fans leapt to the defence of the mum-of-four and fellow parents began posting their own kissing pictures to prove the point.
Gemma Hook wrote: “To all you haters out there, GROW UP! My children have always kissed me on the lips … and the arm, the forehead, the ear, the nose, the tummy the list could go on forever.
“To them it’s just a kiss not a romantic gesture and as a parent it’s our job to take that love unconditionally.
“You need to open your eyes and see the beauty in the love between a parent and child and not turn it into something it so clearly isn’t!”
Another added: “Beautiful photo, what is the world coming to when you can’t even kiss your own child on the lips! I always kiss my boys on the lips.”
She got a lot of sympathy from other mothers, who slammed the trolls.
One ranted: ““People reading into this are simply sick themselves. There is absolutely nothing sexual about this.”
Beckham’s husband David also posted a kissing snap to celebrate Harper’s fifth birthday — but this time the little girl was just kissing his cheek.
