Lindsay Arnold is applauding after being criticized for taking a vacation during the coronavirus pandemic.
Instagram users called Dancing with the stars professional for going to a tropical location with her husband Sam Cusick and her 2 month old daughter, Sage Jill Cusick, this week. The couple welcomed their first baby in November.
One person commented on her January 5 “Vacation” photo on the beach and noted that others around the world cannot see their families due to the COVID-19 blockade. The user hit the dancer for being “on vacation with her baby !!! Come on!”
Another replied, “It is so sad to see influencers flying and going on vacation without worrying about the virus.”
Arnold, 26, addressed the issue in his Instagram story on Wednesday, January 6, sharing a smiley selfie with the thumbs up.
She wrote, “This is my thanks to everyone who really thinks it’s okay to comment or criticize someone else’s parenting. Why? Why do we do this to others? Especially people we don’t even know.”
