Taylor Swift’s father underwent quintuple bypass heart surgery over a month ago, TMZ says.
On Tuesday, July 15, former “Little People, Big World” star Tori Roloff took to Instagram to share a video of herself with her 5-year-old daughter Lilah Ray.
The video showed the mother-daughter pair baking sourdough bread together. “Baking with Lilah is my favorite thing to do,” Roloff captioned the post.
The sweet, lighthearted video walked Roloff’s followers through how they make sourdough bread as Lilah excitedly helped measure ingredients with her washed hands and apron she put on to prepare.
However, the comment section took a turn when some people began focusing only on Roloff’s appearance in the video, rather than the task at hand.
After seeing some of the more negative comments, Roloff took to her Instagram story to address them.
“Okay. I just need to say this. So many people have left terrible comments on my reel making sourdough with Lilah,” Roloff began her statement. “Seriously?!” she asked.
“You missed the point. It wasn't about me and how I looked at 8:30 in the morning,” the mom of three continued. “It wasn't about the camera angle I used and how my skin looks terrible. It wasn't about how my hair wasn't done or AGAIN I look pregnant.”
Roloff said the point of the video was her “making time for my daughter in our kitchen together today. The point was it brought her so much joy to be a part of it. The point was to encourage other moms to include their kids in the kitchen, which is something I have been open about struggling with! The point was to show real life.”
“Move on,” Roloff concluded her statement, “if you aren't here for that.”
Is then shared another video on her Instagram story of herself and Lilah dancing together while eating the bread they made together. “This is the point,” she wrote.
Fans returned to the reel of the pair making bread and defended Roloff in the comments after reading her statement.
“I didn’t even realize what you were wearing,” one commenter wrote. “My first thought seeing this video was ‘I really should make bread/bake with my daughter! She would love it!’”
“Okay I came looking for this story after I read your stories,” another follower noted. “All I see is a beautiful mom in her natural element. With one of her babies making memories and teaching her important skills in the kitchen. Way to go, Tori. I’m sorry you received such awful messages. You’re a beautiful mama, beautiful human, raising beautiful babies! You go girl.”
In addition to Lilah, Roloff and her husband, Zach Roloff share two sons, Jackson, 8, and Josiah, 3.
