Lauren Alaina Calls Out Mom Shamers
Jennifer Havener grew up in a small town in Upstate New York. She earned her B.A in Writing & Literature from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. She always knew watching reality TV shows and soap operas, particularly ‘Days of Our Lives’, would come in handy someday. When she’s not writing, she’s playing with her dogs, Lola and Ruger
Country singer Lauren Alaina is a new mom. But instead of enjoying the first moments of motherhood, she had to shut down mom shamers. What did she do “wrong” to receive negative comments?
Lauren Alaina Welcomes First Child
Lauren Alaina dated comedian John Crist for several months in 2019. She talked about him a lot in interviews and things got awkward when the relationship ended. The singer took a more private route with her next relationship. She didn’t confirm that she was dating Cam Arnold until late 2022 when she announced that they were engaged.
The couple tied the knot in a massive wedding with nearly 500 guests in February 2024. They didn’t waste time starting their family. Lauren Alaina announced in early 2025 that she was pregnant in a special way. She unveiled her growing baby bump in the video for her hit song, “Those Kind of Women.”
After impatiently missing her due date, Lauren Alaina gave birth to her first child days before Father’s Day. The date was bittersweet because she was making her husband a father, but also mourning her own dad who passed away last summer.
Lauren Alaina and Cam Arnold are parents to a daughter, Beni Doll Arnold.
Country Singer Shuts Down Mom Shamers
Being a new mother isn’t easy for anyone. But it’s even harder with social media users watching your every move and judging you for it. That’s what happened to Lauren Alaina after she posted a video about washing baby bottles. Some of her followers believed that the singer was being “lazy” by bottle feeding her newborn daughter instead of breastfeeding her.
Lauren Alaina emotionally discussed feeling “left out” from the country music community during her pregnancy. She became more active on social media while was unable to do much else besides be pregnant. She often takes part in social media trends.
One current trend is to voice an unpopular opinion while covering your mouth, and then asking “Who said that?” even though it was you who said that.
Lauren Alaina used that trend that call out mom shamers. “Just because I posted a video of myself watching my daughter’s bottles does not give you the right to shame me and harass me and tell me that I should be breastfeeding my child when in reality I’m triple feeding my child,” she said while looking to off-camera with her hand over her mouth.
we’ve been seeing lactation specialists and feeding specialists to try to resolve the problem. I am having to bottle feed her, try to latch her and pump every two hours. So mind your business Nancy. You don’t know me and I don’t know you, and let’s keep it that way,” she continued.
While looking straight at the camera, she then asked, “Who said that? WHO said that?”
@laurenalaina But seriously, who said that?! Because they lowkey have a point 👀 #newmom #newborn #mom #momlife #fyp
Her snarky clap back earned praise from her followers. Do you think online mom shamers are out of control?
