‘No Babies Were Harmed’: Tamron Hall Gets Ahead of Critics With New Pic

Tamron Hall did her best to stop any backlash about her son Moses not wearing a sun hat, and she got a lot of support.

On Monday, the former “Today” show host posted a photo of herself and the little one in Anguilla. As she lifted him up and planted a kiss, Hall was standing in a pool in the photo and wearing a one-piece floral bathing suit.

“He wore a sun hat the entire trip except this one second, no babies were harmed in the making of this picture,” she captioned the image.

Hall’s followers then told her to ignore any criticism that may come about and raise Moses as she sees fit.

“Your a great mommie. Heck with others say,” one person wrote. “Not their life or child. “Your doing a fantastic job. Stay being Tamron.”

“No Need To Explain Anything!!!!,” another person told her. “Enjoy Being a First Time Mommy to your “Sonshine”!!!!☺.”

Other people commented on Hall’s svelte appearance.

“Baby is adorable but damn girl, props on that post baby body 🔥🔥👏🏾,” one woman wrote.

“Priceless photo,” another person chimed in. “BTW, you look incredible!! My youngest is 34 years old and I still have 15 lbs to lose. 😁 “

The new baby pic comes nearly two months before the 48-year-old’s talk show “Tamron Hall” begins on Sept. 9.

It’ll be Hall’s first major TV gig since leaving the “Today” show in 2017, after conservative host Megyn Kelly was given her time slot. It was something the new mom talked about in May.

“They made her an offer she couldn’t refuse, and they made me an offer I could refuse,” she said about Kelly. “But afterward, after 25 years in the business, I felt some of the offers that were coming in were insulting.”

As for Hall’s baby photo, it racked up nearly 40,000 likes in just 10 hours.

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.
