Parents praised after turning their daughter into a 'gothic baby'

Parents praised after turning their daughter into a 'gothic baby'

People are flooding to social media in defence of a mother's TikTok posts showing her daughter as a 'gothic baby'.

People are flooding to social media in defence of a mother's TikTok posts showing her daughter as a 'gothic baby'.

Twitch partner and former Playboy centrefold Reby Hardy shares four children with her husband, American professional boxer Matt Hardy.

Reby knew she wanted to be a goth at the age of nine after spotting a woman in New York's East Village wearing all black and fishnet tights in 1995.

And the mum's style choice hasn't stopped since she's had children with Matt - some of the rooms in the family's home even take on a gothic aesthetic.

Reby has also gone on to make a skit about her youngest child, 'gothic baby' Ever Moore.

However, the mum has been called out for her 'gothic baby' posts on TikTok, even by the likes of the Loose Women panel.

On 22 December, panelist Katie Piper said of Reby's style: "I don’t like that interior. It’s all black and dark. Babies don’t like that.

She then added: "I’m just going to put it out there it’s giving me satanic vibes, it’s giving me bad energy, it’s toxic, I don’t like it and also, it’s a baby.

"The cots are tomb. You can’t put your baby in a grave."

Some TikTokers also disagree with Reby's decision to include her children in her gothic lifestyle, with one writing: "I would hate my mom forever if she grew me up like this. I will grow up my girls pink and spoiled."

However, many social media users have flocked to Reby's platform in support of her and 'gothic baby'.

Responding to the user who said they will dress their 'girls in pink,' another said: "Wait… but they’re doing the same thing to their girls but in pink. They don’t see the hypocrisy."

Reby has faced backlash for Ever Moore's bedroom design as well as what she dresses her daughter in.

"I love gothic baby. And she's so much happier than the sad beige baby," a third wrote.

And a final added: "Gothic baby will have no fears in the world."

In response to Loose Women's comments and the criticism she has faced for 'gothic baby,' the mum explained 'gothic baby' is a 'skit'.

Reby said: "It started as me doing this voice late at night to not wake my baby up as part of a satirical response to people saying that using dark colours in my decor made me satanic. That is not what makes me satanic.

"And now here we are, and a UK television show has actually done a TV spot about gothic baby."

Even Loose Women has criticised the mother for her interior design and fashion choices around her children.

Reby also responded to Loose Women's claim all rooms in her house are dark bar one, showing followers multiple other rooms which don't have heavily gothic decor in them.

Accused by Loose Women of 'forc[ing] [her] lifestyle' on her kids, Reby said: "They go onto mention the beige mums who do everything monochromatically with beige and cream - that's okay - praising it for being gender neutral. [...] How do you think this colour scheme started?

"At least the gothic nursery has depth and colour and warmth."

Not all rooms in the Hardy's house are gothic inspired.

Reby argued that using dark colours for interior design isn't an 'adult theme' it's an 'architectural design' and that she'll happily change the colour of her baby's bedroom walls if Ever Moore asks for a different design when she's older.

Reby resolved: "It kind of just seems like an attack on someone different."

Katie Piper's comment on Loose Women resulted in 63 Ofcom complaints, the Metro has reported.
