Perez Hilton Sparks Online Backlash after Posting Picture in Shower with Son

Perez Hilton sparked an online backlash after sharing a snap of himself and his two-year-old son in the shower together.

The celebrity blogger, whose real name is Mario Lavanderia, posted the picture - where both he and Mario are grinning widely - on Instagram yesterday.
Alongside the snap, he wrote:

‘Our family motto is: #fun! We try and incorporate fun into as much of the everyday things we do! #Bathtime.’

And it didn’t take very long for others on social media to react strongly with comments suggesting the scenario is ‘kinda creepy’ and ‘odd’. Angrier comments said ‘this is child abuse’, while another
user wrote: ‘IS THIS A JOKE THEY’RE BOTH NAKED’.

Perez eventually replied to one comment, saying: ‘I had my bathing suit on, and I didn’t feel the need to clarify that in the caption.’

If he was naked, do you see anything wrong with the pic?
