In fact, this isn’t the first time that Leah has been called out for putting a lot of makeup on her daughter. She was similarly flamed after sharing pictures of Aleeah at a cheer event.
“Wearing more makeup than your mama? Weird,” wrote Instagram user @bbygirrrl_ on the cheer pic. User @nlemmer6 wrote, “Too young for that much makeup. She’s very beautiful just like her mom.” @haileyyy_theone wrote, “I don’t think I would let my kid wear that much makeup either ?! Definitely too young to be wearing that much and that loud. It’s sad that they get them started so young.”
Of course, some fans were quick to spring to Leah’s defense in both cases. “She was at a cheer competition. Most cheer competitions REQUIRE the kids to wear heavy makeup,” pointed out @kattyashley. @mrs_lee1027 told Leah to “plz ignore all these hateful people commenting about how much makeup she has on. They obviously have nothing better to do in their lives then make hateful comments on your post….”
As for the Halloween costumes, users defended Leah on that as well. “Girl ITS HALLOWEEN,” a user pointed out. “I’m sure they dont wear [makeup] any other time… they’re 9 n under…” Another agreed, “It’s HALLOWEEN!! AND IT’S PART OF HER COSTUME/CHARACTER…GEEZ!”
