Celeste Barber calls out Tammy Hembrow’s ‘dangerous’ video

The comedian as hit out at a video fitness tycoon Tammy Hembrow shared to Instagram just two weeks after welcoming her third child.

Comedian Celeste Barber has used Tammy Hembrow’s post-partum photos to make a point about how women should never feel like they have to “show off their bodies”.

Fitness tycoon Tammy Hembrow gave birth to her third child, Posy, two weeks ago.

The 28-year-old, already mother to Wolf, 6, and Saskia, 5, shared a video of herself wearing Saskia Collection activewear while standing in front of the mirror.

In a series of poses, she admires her form in the mirror 12 days after giving birth to Posy.

“I stayed as active as possible before and during my pregnancy on my @tammyhembrowfitness programs,” Tammy revealed.

“I honestly feel like my core was at its best in my whole life just before I fell pregnant with Posy so I’m excited to see what I can do this time round after baby number 3! Can’t wait to get into some hard and heavy TammyFit at 6 weeks [post-partum].”

Tammy added that she understood everyone’s journey is different and that people shouldn’t compare themselves to others.

“We all have different genes, different lifestyles, different circumstances etc,” she said.

“That being said, I work and have worked extremely had and want nothing more than to motivate and inspire you.”

Despite Tammy’s understanding of different situations, Celeste Barber called the sharing of the video “dangerous” as many others couldn’t relate to it.

She said she didn’t mean any disrespect and congratulated Tammy on her success but felt like women should never feel like they need to “show off” their bodies.

“Women should NEVER feel as though they need to put on activewear and show off their bodies, to prove a point ESPECIALLY 12 days after having a baby. 12 DAYS!,” Celeste posted to her Instagram story.

“Jeez I was sh***ing in a bag and screaming into a pillow after having my babies. How we look is irrelevant.

“Be kind to yourselves, moisturise your nipples and unfollow accounts that make you feel like sh*t!”

Celeste, who is currently on tour, has two sons with her husband Api Robin.

Not everyone agreed with Celeste, however.

“The PSA at the bottom – I think it’s important to emphasise on that since everyone compares themselves on social media,” one person commented on Tammy’s photo.

Another said: “If you’re gonna comment ‘this isn’t fair it’s setting unrealistic expectations for mothers’ just stop. This is Tammy, not you. If it’s unrealistic for you then cool but don’t hate because this IS her reality. Some people snap back quicker than others.”

Many others congratulated her on the acknowledgment on everyone’s circumstances and called her an inspiration, with dozens sharing their own circumstances on the post.
