Heather Rae Young laughs off critic who said her lace Christmas dress is ‘not appropriate’ for a mom

Heather Rae Young brushed off an internet troll’s comment that her lace red Christmas dress was “not appropriate” for a mother.

“Comments like this make me laugh,” the “Selling Sunset” alum wrote on her Instagram Story Monday over a screenshot of the criticism.

“I don’t even get offended anymore by the rudeness of others. I choose to spread joy not hate.”

Young, 37, shared a collection of photos earlier in the day showing off her figure in a sheer red gown from what appeared to be her and her husband Tarek El Moussa’s early Christmas celebration.

“Fav time of year, & fav plus one,” she captioned the post.

In the comments section, one follower wrote, “The dress is not appropriate. Your [sic] a mother now.”

Young quickly fired back at the hater, commenting back, “so because I’m a mother I can’t wear a pretty dress that makes me feel beautiful? What does that have to do with anything?”

She added, “I am still a human and my name is heather I’m not just a mother. Choose joy.”

This isn’t the first time the “Flip Off” star has had to address rude comments on her social media photos.

In November, Young preemptively addressed potential nosy followers looking too deeply into her Thanksgiving post by addressing why her stepdaughter, Taylor, 14, was not with her family for the holiday.

The set of pictures included El Moussa, 43, the couple’s son, Tristan, 1, and Young’s stepson, Brayden, 8.

“For the haters – Tay is on a trip with her mom, that’s why she’s not in our photo,” Young wrote, referring to her husband’s ex-wife, Christina Hall.

“We are thankful for our kids, Taylor, Brayden & Tristan. They bring so much innocence, love and laughter to our lives. And our big blended crazy but beautiful family,” the former Netflix personality shared elsewhere in her caption.

Young and El Moussa tied the knot in October 2021.
