Sophia Grace Brownlee blasted haters who insisted she isn’t old enough to have a family of her own.
The pregnant 21-year-old, who went viral in 2011 for her “Ellen DeGeneres Show” appearance, posted a clapback via Instagram Wednesday.
She captioned the upload with trolls’ comments, reading, “19 & 21 is way too young to have kids!! You should have waited until you are 30+.”
Brownlee wrote that she is “in the best position [to parent] and happier then [sic] people older” than her.
She held her 1-year-old son, River, in the footage as she played a clip of “Dance Mom” alum Abby Lee Miller saying, “When my mother was 17, she paid the mortgage on her parents’ house.”
The YouTuber went on to mimic Kelly Hyland’s reply at the time by mouthing, “I don’t really give a s–t what your mother did.”
Brownlee became a mom in February 2023 when she welcomed River via emergency C-section.
“I heard [my baby] cry and then I cried because I couldn’t believe that I had my own baby,” the new mom told People of her birth experience the following month. “It was just so surreal.”
River was born four months after the influencer’s pregnancy reveal.
“19 is quite young, obviously, to have a baby,” she admitted to her YouTube subscribers in October 2022. “Most people are like, ‘You should have babies when you’re 30 and you’re married and you live in your own house.'”
In August, Brownlee announced she is expecting baby No. 2 with her partner, whose identity she has yet to reveal.
The star debuted her bump via Instagram amid “everyone announcing their 2024 pregnancies.”
She and her partner pushed glasses into a pink cake the following month to reveal the sex of their upcoming arrival.
Brownlee did not feature her children’s father’s face in the video but did recently confirm that she is still dating the same man.
“We have been together since I was 16,” she explained in August. “He’s a bit camera-shy and some people don’t wanna be on camera all the time.”
