Fans are coming to David Beckham's defense after he posted a photo, kissing his 8-year-old daughter on the lips — something that has sparked a ton of controversy in the past.
Some people found the photo and the act itself to be offensive and inappropriate.
While some might see this as a totally appropriate and genuine sign of affection between a young child and their parent, others find it "weird" and "creepy".
"Why would a father kiss his daughter on the lips? Don't get it. Creepy. Weird. Creepy," he said.
"Weird, weird, weird," Piers repeated.
He then explained what he thinks is an appropriate sign of affection between parents and their children.
David eventually commented on the backlash, revealing that kissing his children on the lips is a normal thing in his family's household.
A father kissing his adult son on the lips would definitely be questionable.
"I’m very affectionate with the kids. It’s how I was brought up and Victoria, and it’s how we are with our children."
After posting another photo on Instagram, kissing his daughter on the lips just days ago, he's had to face even more backlash.
I think the rest of us can agree that any kiss between David and his daughter is not of a romantic nature, and it would be awfully strange to assume there is based on the photo he shared.
I'm assuming they didn't actually call the police. But regardless, this was probably the biggest overreaction of 2019.
While some people think it's okay to kiss your daughter, they don't think that doing it on the lips is the right place for it.
Piers has made his feelings about David and his family very clear. So, we know exactly what to expect.
Instead of seeing the photo as "creepy", they are just glad to see that David and his daughter have such a close relationship.
There are obvious boundaries that shouldn't be crossed. But how David shows his daughter affection doesn't seem inappropriate by any means.
Do you think a father kissing his daughter is inappropriate?
