We know the Internet can be a terrible place full of awful words from anonymous trolls — but we honestly never thought we’d have to say the words…
Do not body shame an infant!
Ayesha Curry had to put some momma bear energy into smacking down a complete clown on Instagram after they — somehow — thought the right thing to do was suggest her freakin’ baby was overweight.

It started Tuesday when Ayesha posted a photo on Instagram supporting hubby Stephen Curry; the Golden State Warriors had just won the NBA Western Conference Championship, and the whole family was there to celebrate.
Daughters Riley (6) and Ryan (3) were front and center, with momma holding 10-month-old son Canon.
She captioned the pic:
“Infinitely proud of these guys. God’s grace and mercy continues to cover our family and we are so grateful. Not about wins and losses, it’s all about family. Moments like this simply put it all into perspective. “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” – Matthew 6:33”
Awww!
Unfortunately that inspiring sentiment was sullied by some seriously ill-considered comments from the peanut gallery on IG.
First was someone actually asking one of the big no-no questions to ask a woman:
“Are you pregnant ? again?????”
OK, first off WTF to that!
How are you gonna look at a photo a woman posts where she’s holding an infant child and ask if she’s pregnant.
If you know that little about babies, why are you even asking the question? You obviously aren’t going to do anything helpful with the information!
In any case, Ayesha was much more forgiving than we would have been and graciously answered, allowing the person was referring to her posture as opposed to her figure. She wrote:
“Absolutely not, LOL. My 30lb son is just breaking my back in every Photo.”
The reveal of Canon’s weight seemed to throw quite a lot of fans for a loop.
However, one took the cake with the comment:
“Maybe portion-control his food a bit.”
WHUT?! Srsly??
Ayesha wrote simply:
“Excuse you? No. Just no.”
Again, gurl is very forgiving. But we have to ask:
You’re going to tell a mother of three about how to raise her baby??
Do you even HAVE kids?? What a thoughtless thing to say!
Luckily some other moms following the conversation stepped in to school this jerk on the fact babies vary greatly in their weights at birth and as they grow — and while Canon does appear to be built big, it doesn’t mean he’s unhealthy.
That person has since deleted their comment, so we guess they got the message.
