Kourtney Kardashian held onto her toddler while vacationing in Portofino, Italy on July 9.
Many others had her back on the matter, though. One commenter came to her defense, writing, "Girl you do you and keep your children safe 🫶🏻 It doesn’t concern others, what your child looks like!"
Another said, "Just because paparazzi doesn’t respect the parents wishes and shows his face doesn’t mean they need to be bullied into posting him. It’s what they want."
Another user commented, "It’s never too late to decide to parent differently if she wants to protect this child in a different way she can do just that! Times have changed then vs when the others were kids. She doing this is what she feels safest doing in the NOW."
