Fans Jump to Joseline Hernandez’s Defense After Trolls Continue to Bash Daughter’s Appearance

Joseline Hernandez can’t seem to get a break from online critics who continue to insult her one-year-old daughter’s image, but fans weren’t having it.

The former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star dealt with naysayers who constantly critiqued her daughter’s hairstyle and fashion. The new mother didn’t pay any attention to haters and continued to post pictures of Bonnie Bella all over her social media.

Hernandez took to Instagram on Wednesday and posted an adorable photo of her one-year-old daughter. The little girl was wearing her hair in individual puffs with a multi-colored bow and dressed in floral dressed.

The cute picture quickly went left once trolls began jibing at Bella’s hairstyle.

One person wrote, “Can u braid her hair. Ik the puffballs are easier to do but shes beautiful and deserves to wear pretty braids.”

Another naysayer added, “She can comb it sometimes with balls, barrets or 🎀 even beads💯.”

However, fans jumped to Hernandez and Bella’s defense and said there’s nothing wrong with the baby’s hair.

One fan told critics, “Hey everyone complaining about the baby hair ? I mean how else y’all want her hair to be? She’s like what 2 ? Or 1 how ever old she is she’s still a baby. She don’t need no braids no weave nothing but her natural curly hair. Y’all really tripping like I see nothing wrong with this baby hair being in little pony tails.”

Another fan of the reality star wrote, “I See Nothing Wrong With Her Hair .. Now If She Braid Her Hair Y’all Would Have Something To Say About That Also SMH !”

Hernandez will be making her way back to reality television with her daughter Bella. The reality celeb will starring on We Tv with her new show “Joseline Takes Miami.” Her storyline will focus on being a single mother and is set to premiere later this year.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
