Jacqueline Jossa mum-shamed by furious fans after sharing controversial post
JACQUELINE Jossa has been mum-shamed by furious fans after sharing a controversial post.
The 30-year-old EastEnders star has two daughters — Ella, eight, and Mia, five — with ex Towie star Dan Osborne, 32, who she wed six years ago.
And she’s come under fire from followers after posting the results of an app that she said made her look “skinny and pretty and young.”
Jumping on the back of a recent Instagram trend, Jacqueline shared a series of AI photos of herself – from enjoying a cup of a tea to photos at school.
And fans were left baffled, as one wrote: You have so many girls and women following you, who battle with their body image. Posting stuff like this doesn’t help.”
A second added: “why on earth would you post something like this?!!” and a third echoed: “We should be raising our girls up to know that stuff like this shouldn’t affect them.”
A fourth person added: “Why would you promote this,” and a fifth penned: “This is exactly why i have removed my daughter from all social media platforms currently fixated on fake.”
Despite the backlash, some of Jacqueline’s followers were quick to defend the star.
One fan said: “It’s called sarcasm and is making a point that she doesn’t look like this … an app made her look that way , which is a great thing to point out to bring “young minds” who are scrolling through , I think most people have taken this the wrong way.”
A second person said: “I think a lot of people have missed the true meaning of what she actually meant – which is exactly what’s wrong with the world, too quick to jump and assume!”
Jacqueline recently announced she’s making a return to EastEnders as Lauren Branning, after leaving the BBC1 soap five years ago.
The actress told The Sun on Sunday: “I’m really excited. It’s such an amazing time to be back as there is so much buzz around EastEnders at the moment. I’ve been watching and loving it like a fan.
“Walford holds a special place in my heart, so it really does feel like coming home.”
Jacqueline’s storyline is set to be stormy as her character becomes entangled with back-from-the-dead Cindy Beale, played by Michelle Collins.
