Gabourey Sidibeis shutting down criticism of her twins' hair.
In a post onInstagram Threads, theGive Me Back My Daughterstar, 42, slammed people who have made negative comments about her 23-month-old twins' hair. Sidibe, who shares her twins Cooper and Maya with husbandBrandon Frankel, said she'd be blocking anyone who left negative comments, adding she "didn't have kids" for the aesthetic.
"If you comment, telling me to do my toddlers[sic] hair, I'm blocking you," she wrote. "Their hair is always brushed, but they are active toddlers who play hard and aggressively launch into Head Shoulders Knees and Toes during lunch, so they get ketchup and eggs in it, so we sometimes do their hair several times a day."
"My daughter's hair is braided every week and when it gets fuzzy in an hour I don't immediately rebraid it because I didn't have kids for the esthetic[sic]," she added.
Sidibe continued telling her followers to "keep it cute," adding that "trying to impress the timeline with constantly manicured children isn't on my list of chores."
"So in closing, let's keep it cute cuz[sic] I'm fighting for my life as it is and trying to impress the timeline with constantly manicured children isn't on my list of chores," she wrote, before jokingly attaching a picture of her cat and wriitng, "Aaron will however be debuting the fresh box braids he got for his birthday trip to Punta Cana."
While Sidibe doesn't play when it comes to people criticizing her children, she can also find the humor in life as a parent of two. Back in February, the doting mom proved she'd do anything to make her kids look fabulous as she shared funny snaps of her children wearing her wigs onInstagram. TheEmpirealum joked that she was walking around bald, so her kids could look stylish in her hair.
"My head looks like this 🧑🦲 so that their heads can look this 👩🎤🧑🎤👨🎤," she joked.
