The Social Network actor was recently dad-shamed after sharing a video on Instagram of his 2-year-old son, Ford, sucking on his dad’s toes. In the vid, both Ford and Armie laugh in the video while you hear a woman (who is probably Armie’s wife Elizabeth Chambers) say, "This is not normal."
Finally, Armie smiles and says, "All right, no more." In the caption, he further explained, "This happened for a solid 7 minutes," with the jokey hashtag #footfetishonfleek.
The original Instagram post was later deleted, but Perez Hilton uploaded it on Instagram and asked people to weigh in on whether they thought it was "inappropriate or funny." Comments included things like "disgusting," "gross," and "TOTALLY NOT FUNNY."
Internet trolls then went after another post of Armie’s and filled it with intense comments. "You’re sick," one said. "They should take the custody from you and your wife," another wrote.
Now, Elizabeth is firing back. She commented on Perez’s post, saying that this was a total joke. "It wasn’t seven minutes… more like five seconds," she wrote. "Our son likes to play with people’s feet and I put the video on our family stream because this phase is an ongoing joke." However, Elizabeth added that "sharing the video on Instagram was def not the best move on A’s part."
She ended on this note: "I can assure you that our children’s safety and well-being is always our first priority." Armie has yet to publicly comment on the video.
