Published on July 3, 2019, Hilary Duff's daughter Banks is already a social media sensation, and her latest appearance has sparked controversy. The eight-month-old baby's pierced ears have drawn criticism from some parents, who claim it's too early for such a procedure.
Hilary Duff has faced mom-shaming before, particularly when she shared a photo of herself kissing her four-year-old son Luca on the lips in 2016. The backlash led her to respond to the criticism, saying, 'For anyone commenting that a kiss on the lips with my four year old is 'inappropriate' go ahead and click a quick unfollow with your warped minds and judgment.'
When it comes to piercing Banks's ears, Hilary Duff has been more direct in her response. In an Instagram Story that has since been removed, she shared a photo of her daughter with her hair in a ponytail and wrote, 'She has enough hair for a pony! Oh and yes we pierced her ears.'
It's worth noting that Hilary Duff has been open about her parenting choices, and this latest controversy is just another example of the scrutiny she faces as a public figure.
