Reality TV star and entrepreneur Paris Hilton is standing up against mom-shamers and social media users who recently made hurtful comments about her baby boy's appearance. Last week, the proud mother shared new photos of her 9-month-old son, Phoenix, on Instagram to celebrate his first trip to New York City. However, instead of receiving positive feedback, Hilton was bombarded with comments about her son's head size, with some suggesting he had an enlarged head or a potential medical condition.

In response to the hateful comments, Hilton took to her Instagram story on Monday to express her sadness and disappointment. She wrote, "Living life in the spotlight, comments are inevitable, but targeting my child, or anyone else's for that matter, is unacceptable." Hilton emphasized that she has worked hard to create an environment of love, respect, and acceptance and expects the same in return. She added, "If I don't post my baby, people assume I'm not a great mother, and if I do post him, there are some people who are cruel and hateful."

The 42-year-old socialite, who has always dreamt of becoming a mother, defended her son's health and appearance, stating, "I'm a proud working mom, and my baby is perfectly healthy, adorable, and angelic." Hilton expressed that Phoenix is her world and the biggest blessing of her life, reminding her every day of what truly matters. She also expressed her disbelief that there are people in the world who would target such innocence and called for more kindness and empathy.

The news of the hurtful comments quickly spread, prompting an outpouring of support for Hilton and her son. Countless comments flooded her post, chastising those who chose to "bully a baby." Hilton's defenders reminded the public that it is never acceptable to target or criticize an innocent child.

Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum, welcomed Phoenix in January via a surrogate. The couple has been open about their desire to expand their family and have more children. Despite Hilton's statement, a representative for the star did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Paris Hilton's response to the mom-shamers and social media users serves as a reminder to treat others, especially children, with kindness and empathy. The incident highlights the challenges faced by public figures who constantly navigate scrutiny and judgment from the online community.
