More from MamásLatinas: 10 Latino celebs trying too hard to hide their real age
Aracely Arámbula had to go on the offensive after the Latin Billboards, when some haters criticized her children, Miguel and Daniel, for their musical choices. Luis Fonsi and Águeda López also felt the need to defend their 7-year-old Mikaela from stupid criticism.
Some people need to worry more about their own lives, their own children and their own looks. If they have time to troll children of celebrities on social media, they definitely need help themselves. Because every day mean trolls seem to be all over the web, it's great that celebrity parents are not shy and take their claws out to defend their. Who wouldn't in their place?
Aracely Arámbula predictably responded to the attacks because it involved her children.
It all started when she posted this photo with reggaeton star Nicky Jam during the Latin Billboard Awards on April 26th, 2018. "Thank you for posing for this photo for my kids," she wrote.
Some of her fans were outraged. "How can the children of Luis Miguel be fans of this guy?" one of her followers wrote. Others alluded to the perception that Nicky Jam represents a genre for low-class people.
Most of the time, Arámbula ignores haters and trolls, but not when they mess with her kids: "Ugly people [are] criticizing MY children," she wrote in an obvious reference to the fact that the Mexican singer is not part of their lives. "They can listen to whomever they choose. Of course, bitter people had to jump at this. You should be embarrassed. They should wash their mouth (with soap) before speaking about them."

"I'm not a public person, but the news about me are forcing me to express myself in a public way," wrote Lorenzo on Instagram, denying that it was him in the photos.
