Paris Fury has clapped back after being flooded with comments over a picture of her children enjoying time at a pumpkin patch. The mum-of-seven took to social media to share the sweet family moment over the weekend.
Paris, 34, appeared to be focusing on her and her boxing star husband Tyson’s youngest child, one-year-old son Rico, as he adorably sat surrounded by his older siblings on a hay bale during a visit to Billy Bob’s Parlour in Skipton.
She captioned the post: “Rico getting big now, dancing along to music.” But thanks to little Adonis put his middle finger up while she was taking a picture, she found herself being slammed by mum-shamers.

Paris shared a screenshot of some of the comments she’d received, with one saying: “Why would you allow your child to flip the bird on a picture?! Inappropriate.”
Meanwhile, another said in the comments section: “I like following her but for a young child to put their middle finger up – erm, no.” A third also commented: “The [middle finger emoji] is getting old now. I’d be afraid he’d flip off the wrong person.”
Paris then addressed the criticism on her Instagram story, explaining that she shares her “real life” on social media. “People aren’t perfect, kids aren’t perfect, life ain’t perfect but I don’t pretend,” she wrote.
“I don’t tell the kids to swear I learn them right (as you can hear on the original video) but if my pic of my kids has one not perfect I still post cus I’m real,” she added alongside three kissing face emojis. In the original video, you can hear Paris asking her children to pose for another picture because Adonis was swearing in the first one.
While there were some critical commenters, others saw the funny side of Adonis’ pose and defended Paris from the parenting criticism. @ghislainesheppard said: “He may be flipping the bird but look at his other hand there behind baby Rico making sure he’s safe!”
@jacquicorcoran fumed: “Being the great Mother she is I have no doubt that she “allowed” him to do that!!! He probably doesn’t even know what it means!!! He’s a child for god’s sake! Possibly someone laughed when he did it first and now he thinks it’s funny! Good God all great parents on here!!!”
@w4tk1n shared: “What school-age little lad doesn’t try and do that once or twice. I know mine did & he grew up just fine! Haters find any reason to be negative. Beautiful picture of a beautiful family.” @majella_o_rourke added: “For God’s sake it’s just a finger, nobody died. What harm is it actually doing? Someone decided that this finger in this position was naughty one day and you all lose your minds over it. He’s a cheeky little sausage and he knows it, let him be. Imagine seeing a picture of these gorgeous, happy, healthy, kind, well cared for kids and going straight for the only negative you can find.”
