"Weird AF in front of her dad. How is he ok with it?" a commenter asked.
"Call me uncultured, but swimming topless with my dad is one European tradition I'm comfortable skipping," a user shared.
"That is so bizarre. A grown a-- woman topless in front of her father? That is beyond CRINGE-worthy. That is NOT NORMAL AT ALL. WHO does that?" a commenter wondered.

Other commenters argued that caring about Brooks Nader's topless chest was 'taboo.'

"Let's normalize women doing what they want with their chest. It's only taboo bc we as a society make it that way, so weird that we do that," one supporter commented.
