To be fair, most of the comments to the star mom's post were very positive, with one fan complimenting Simpson by writing, "So naturally beautiful!!!! You are such an amazing example for women our age."
But comments like this one were less affirming: "Yikes." Another Instagram user observed about the fresh-faced photo, "Omg you look completely different." Many comments were downright rude, with one person writing, "Please stop doing this to your lips. Jesus." Someone else wrote, "What happened to you. This is not Jessica."
Other commenters picked apart a seemingly miniscule detail of the photo, telling Simpson, "Put that tongue in." Finally, another commenter meanly noted, "Not a flattering picture."
Luckily, Simpson's fans rallied to her defense, with one blasting unkind commenters by saying, "I'm appalled at the rudeness of humans! If you don't like her smile, move along." Another fan seconded the notion, decreeing, "Stop hating on her. If that's all some of you are going to do then unfollow her. She doesn't need it. She's human just like the rest of us. You need to grow up and stop picking at every little thing you see that YOU think is wrong with her."
