Comedian Creates Controversy With Facebook Post Of Him And His Daughter

Writer, actor, and stand-up comedian Torben Chris of Denmark is under heavy scrutiny for posting a bathtub picture with his daughter. The comedian posted the picture through his official Facebook account showing himself and his 2-year-old daughter naked in the bathtub while taking a bath together.

The controversial Facebook post became a viral sensation across the world especially in Europe and was shared over 6,000 times with thousands of both positive and negative comments. Some of the people who commented in his account commended Chris for standing up for what he believes is right while some argue that the photo is creepy and disturbing.

Chris fired back at his critics by posting in his Facebook account to defend himself, "Listen: children and adults can be naked together. If we couldn't stand to see each other naked we'd be born with clothes on."

The comedian also believed that it is natural for parents and children to be naked together 'Nudity with your child's not gross, but natural."

Family therapist Dr. Paul Hokemeyer tells Yahoo Parenting in an exclusive interview that those who support Chris' stance and those who are against it both have valid arguments. "I can see why people find the photograph troubling," the doctor says. "It's clearly a very private moment being displaying in a very public way."

And although Dr. Hokemeyer also believes that there is nothing wrong with a parent bathing with a child, it is still important to be mindful of boundaries. "It's important to maintain boundaries so that both the parent and the child are comfortable with their bodies."

The original Facebook post has already been deleted but Chris continued to defend his stance. He also believes that most of the commenters agree with his position. Chris is a comedian from Denmark who is known for appearing in projects like "DM i stand-up in 2007, "Z Hit-Paraden" in 2008, and "Zulu Tuk Tuk" in 2013.
