The former model and TV presenter, who is also mom to 13-year old Harvey, 10-year old Junior, 8-year old Princess and 2-year old Jett, uploaded two more snaps which showed Bunny sporting earrings. Unfortunately, many of her followers didn't seem to agree with her decision. One user accused her of putting holes in her daughter's ears for vanity and told her that she should have waited for her daughter to decide for herself. "This is a selfish decision," the user said.
Another user who was also shocked by Price's decision wrote, "I don't believe that a good parent would choose to inflict pain upon their child for no reason." Despite the scathing comments, there were some fans who supported the star's decision. Others shared that they got their daughters' ears pierced when they were 6 months old, while some defended Price and said, "it's the parents' decision."
As reported by the Daily Mail, the issue comes just after Price asked the audience on the chat show "Loose Women" whether she should get her daughters ears pierced. "Princess wants her ears pierced at the weekend and Bunny does, do you think she should get them, she's eight?" she asked.
The audience said that it was fine for her older daughter, Princess, however, when it came to Bunny, many reacted negatively. However, Price is not the first one to get her daughter's ears pierced. A lot of women had their ears pierced as infants, as well as their babies', as piercing a baby's ear is considered safe. According to Metro, Claire's, which offers the service, states that minors simply need a parent or a guardian, as well as "proof of inoculations, rather than stipulating a minimum age."
