Chris Pratt has shaken up the internet after posting a photo of his baby on social media, and it’s hard to choose a side in the argument.
The actor, who is best known for his roles in Parks and Rec, Jurassic World, and Guardians of The Galaxy, is no stranger to getting flack online. Actually, he’s been getting a lot of heat lately and social media users have been quick to call him out in the past.

But this latest online scandal appears to have been caused by an image of his baby and wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger.
At first, you might think it’s an innocent image of his wife holding their third baby, who arrived in November last year, while lounging on the sofa, but then you look a little south and notice a strange stain.
Of course, it can only be a poo explosion that’s made its way up and out of the nappy.
He wrote as his caption: “Sh*t happens”.

While this does happen quite often when you have a baby, it’s not normally something that’s posted on Instagram, unless you’re desperately asking for ways to get the stain out of the white babygrow.
So, commenters were left with two ways to react: disgust, or laughter.
As it turns out, it was a hard pick, and the internet has officially been divided in half with this one.

While a lot of people have called it 'disgusting', another person was extreme enough to urge 'social services' to be called after claiming that the baby wasn’t wearing a ‘diaper’.
Fear not, the baby is in fact wearing one, and you can see it in the photograph.
But other comments enjoyed the realities of being a parent, and said that Pratt was showing how relatable he is.
One person wrote: "The most relatable picture," as another said: "Omg! I remember those days… and 11 years later, I wish they were that size again."

Someone else commented: "Finding a way to make the best of it…can take creativity."
It’s safe to say that every parent will see a poo-explosion every now and then when the baby is little, and whether you choose to post it online or not, it totally up to you!
This comes after Pratt was called out for comments he made about his ex-wife Anna Faris.

The comments were made in the midsts of the Los Angeles wildfires, which claimed the lives of two dozen people, and for those who are living California, the uncertainty of safety continues to be very real.
So, while talking about his family and his home being able to avoid the flames, the actor turned his comments to Faris and their son, Jack’s, home.
In his post, he wrote: "It’s truly devastating, as you know. Silver lining is my house was saved, but at the same time, so many people’s houses were burned around us and the community’s gone."
He continued: "My son’s school is gone. My son’s mom’s house burned down."
Commenters were not too pleased about his use of 'son’s mom' when referring to his ex-wife, but others could understand that he’s remarried, and moved on.
