  • Jessie James Decker clapped back at an Instagram follower who criticized her for taking a picture in her underwear in front of her son.

  • The country singer responded that it was no different than wearing a swimsuit around him.

  • She also said that she teaches her children that "the body is beautiful."

Jessie James Decker is not here for mommy or body shamers. The 32-year-old country singer clapped back after receiving criticism on her latest Instagram post, where she's lounging at home in a t-shirt and underwear in front of her son. "Tuesday," she captioned the post.

Jessie's followers soon voiced their thoughts in the comments, and it was kind of a mixed bag. Some were fans of the 'gram, writing “And here I was feeling guilty for having a glass of wine on a tuesday !! Cheers!! ??.” Another wrote, "THIS IS A WHOLE MOOD GIRL??????."

Some, however, weren't as supportive. "You walk around like that with your kids around... ??," one follower commented. To which the mom of three responded: "Yes. No different than a swim suit [sic]. I teach my children the body is beautiful. Nothing to be ashamed of."

Jessie has been super open about her struggle and fight for body positivity in the past. She recently posted about how she feels "insecure" about wearing a bikini after having three kids.

"I’ll be honest, I still get insecure when I put a swimsuit on sometimes because of how much loose skin I have from my pregnancies," she captioned multiple Instagram photos of her stomach in a pink bikini. "I worked really hard to lose all of my baby weight. Even gaining 55 pounds with my first. It’s no wonder I have so much loose skin, two out of the three babies were 9 pounds ??."

Despite that insecurity, Jessie is making a point to proudly show off her body to her kids and the rest of the damn world—regardless of what the haters say.

I’ll be honest I still get insecure when I put a swimsuit on sometimes because of how much loose skin I have from my pregnancies. I worked really hard to lose all of my baby weight. Even gaining 55 pounds with my first. It’s no wonder I have so much loose skin two out of the three babies were 9 pounds ?? and I was one of those lucky ducks who didn’t get one stretch mark because genetically I have super elastic skin but because of my big babies and gaining so much I was left with extremely loose skin. I’ve had a few breast reduction surgeries and lifts to try to tighten up the skin on my breasts ( at one point the skin was so loose from growing to a size G from breastfeeding that I swear they could hit my belly button no joke ) but now I have been left with really intense scars all the way around my cleavage that I try to hide out of insecurity. It’s really wild after children how much my body changed. My ribs expanded to the point of certain dresses I can’t zip up that I used to and I weigh even less than I did then, and the amount of excess skin around my stomach sometimes I can’t seem to push down enough into my jeans. The reason why I’m sharing this emotion is because I know a lot of moms feel the same way and sometimes I just feel frustrated that no matter how hard I worked out or toned up the skin remains and it’s just something that I struggle with from time to time. Growing a baby is such a beautiful super power and I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining one bit but I am a human being and sometimes the loose skin does make me a little insecure and make me wonder if I’m still sexy to Eric or if people are looking at my stomach when I’m in a bikini which I’m sure sounds silly but it’s just me being in my head sometimes. Anyway sorry for the long story but it was just how I was feeling putting on my suit and I just want other women to know I’m with ya and we in this together and it’s a safe place here to vent!
