Jenna Johnson Speaks Out on Harsh Criticism Over Bottle-Feeding Her Son!

Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy Slams 'Rude' Troll Who Criticized Her for Bottling-Feeding 29-Month-Old Son Rome!

In a shocking display of cyberbullying, a nasty troll sent Dancing with the Stars pro Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy a disgusting direct message after she posted a sweet snap of herself bottle-feeding her adorable 29-month-old son Rome. And let's just say, this momma is not having it!

The Emmy-nominated choreographer, 31, took to Instastory on Saturday to share her side of the story and call out the cruel commentator. "Soooo yesterday I posted a pic of me and my son, who I hadn't seen in four days and lots of people felt strongly about him drinking from a bottle," Jenna wrote. "Totally fine when other moms give positive advice and I'm always open to feedback to an extent. But this woman ([whose] profile pic is of her holding her own baby) decided to DM me this. What world are we living in?"

The nasty message read: 'Way too old for this fat r**d to have a bottle.' Yep, you read that right - the troll not only criticized Rome's age but also made a vicious comment about his weight! Talk about lowbrow behavior!

Jenna, being the strong and feisty mom she is, fired back at the troll with a sassy response: 'Would you want me, a total stranger, to DM you this about your child? Because he's drinking from a bottle? Like what on Earth is happening?!' She then added a stern warning: "Please unfollow me immediately and respectfully get a life!"

The Cali-born, Utah-raised hoofer also expressed her frustration with the constant criticism she faces as a public figure. "Sad trolls/bullies make me want to shut down and go private on social media due to the 'extremely rude and harmful messages toward my baby,'" she confessed.

But what's truly heartwarming is how Jenna's fans have rallied around her, sending supportive DMs that left her "honestly cry[ing]"! "My heart really hurt yesterday at how vile and mean some people can be," she wrote. "But once again I was shown just how much this little community of mine on here can also show up. You gave me the love, support, and kindness that I believe in!"

As for Rome's bottle-feeding habits, let's just say it's not uncommon for toddlers to continue using bottles at his age. In fact, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), prolonged bottle use can lead to tooth decay and affect the development of teeth and facial muscles - similarly to children sucking on pacifiers after age four.

Jenna, being a proud mom, took to Instastory again on Sunday to express her gratitude for her fans' kindness. "Let's remember that we are all humans, navigating life the best we can! I promise to try and only spread positivity and light on my feed and I hope you feel inspired to do the same," she said.

And if you're wondering what kind of person would send such a vile message, well, let's just say Jenna's got her eyes on you: "I know who you are. You're the one who decided to DM me this. And honestly, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it."

The married couple of six years - Jenna and Val Chmerkovskiy - originally met on the set of Dancing with the Stars in 2014 before embarking on their romance in 2015. They've had their ups and downs, including a two-year period of infertility during which they suffered at least one miscarriage in 2021.

As for Rome's adorable antics, we're just as excited to see what this little cutie is up to! In a recent video posted by Jenna, Rome can be seen practicing the pronunciation of his Ukrainian last name, Chmerkovskiy. "It's definitely a tongue twister buddy!" she wrote.

So, there you have it - Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy standing tall against cyberbullying and spreading positivity wherever she goes!
