Los Angeles, Feb 24 (NationPress) Actress Helen Flanagan is responding to the backlash after facing mum-shaming online for having a night out with her boyfriend, former footballer Robbie Talbot, 45, and his 14-year-old daughter, Sophie.
They attended the launch of Kyma Nightclub in Crosby, an event that provided the 34-year-old with an opportunity to bond with Robbie’s teenage daughter, according to Mirror.co.uk.
Helen shared snapshots from the evening on Instagram, including a delightful photo of herself and Sophie, both beaming at the camera. She looked chic in a black velvet mini dress adorned with diamante accents, complemented by sheer glossy tights, while Sophie was dressed in a vibrant red mini dress.
Despite the fun-filled night, some critics voiced their disapproval of Helen’s outing, questioning her parenting since her own children were absent. One commenter asked, "Where's the boyfriend? Hope the kids are being looked after," insinuating that Helen was neglecting her duties.
Nevertheless, Helen's supporters were quick to defend her. One fan quipped, "No, she left them alone. Jesus, mums aren’t allowed a night out!" Others pointed out the double standards, with one asking, "Would you say the same thing to a father? Get a grip."
The actress seemed to share her perspective on the issue by posting again after her night out. She hit back at the critics by sharing a humorous post from Mancunian actor Mark Massett.
The post depicted him donning a blonde wig and hiding in the toilet to sneak a cigarette and a glass of wine while their kids could be heard in the background calling for attention, captioned ‘Mums when it’s Half Term’.
Helen has three children, Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three, with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, while Robbie has Sophie and Carina, 10, from a previous relationship.
Despite the criticism, Helen seemed unfazed, relishing the evening and expressing gratitude to Kyma Nightclub for the invitation in her Instagram caption. Many followers also complimented her appearance, referring to her and Sophie as "absolutely stunning" and "gorgeous".
