Eva Longoria Condems Mom-Shamers
When the “Devious Maids” actress isn’t showing off the bond between her and her son, she opens up about motherhood.
In 2020, the “Señorita Justice” actress sat with Anna Faris for an episode on the “Unqualified” podcast, stating that people should never tell mothers how to parent their children.
Talking about juggling motherhood with work and other obligations, she said, “You just figure it out” However, she added that mom shamers are damaging to society.
The model stated, “I am never going to tell someone how to parent. I am in no way an expert of being a mom.” Insisting further, she said, “I never want to be that person — to be on a podcast like, ‘What I do is I put my son to bed at 7 because studies show that the brain … Like, ‘Oh my God, good for you. You go do that.”
The “Overboard” actress felt that “even responding” to the question of, “How do you do it all?” can be the determining factor for “other women feel ‘less than’ sometimes” — herself included.
She said, “I’ll hear women go, ‘Oh my God, it’s great, blah blah blah.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, gosh, she has it together. Maybe I’m not doing something right.”
Finally, she acknowledged her privilege and noted how grateful she was to have “a village” of support and “a lot of help” with her son in the form of her “huge family,” who all assist with each other’s children.
She went on, “I have an amazing husband who supports me, I have amazing sisters and I have amazing girlfriends who have kids the same age. So we all chip in and get it done.”
