The Mommy Wars are brutal and full of sneak attacks when you least expect them. If you are not fully engaged with the Mommy Wars, you might have looked at Jessica Simpson’s Halloween social media photos and simply thought “cute kids.” But you would be wrong! Jessica Simpson has yet again found herself on the wrong side of the Mommy Wars.
What did Jessica do wrong? She apparently dyed her daughter’s hair brown as part of Maxwell Drew’s Halloween costume (Maxi was Belle from Beauty and the Beast). Now moms are like “I can’t believe you dyed your 5-year-old’s hair!” There were judgments made about Jessica’s parenting skills and how superficial she is to allow her naturally-blonde daughter to do that.
Personally, I am not convinced that it was actually hair dye??? It could have been a wig. Or it could have been a super-temporary organic dye or henna or something like that (it’s clear I’m not a dye expert, right?). In any case, check out this more recent photo of Maxi – she’s back to blonde! So whatever it was, it really was temporary.

What a precious little girl. I think people should get a life.
I couldn’t believe there were actually people who were dumb enough to complain about a temporary Halloween dye that washes out the next day. They were obviously desperate for attention, hoping there would be some kind of reaction to their stupid mommy shaming nonsense. I think anyone with half a brain would just shake their heads at these idiots and move on.
So ridiculous to complain about this! There are temporary rinses that they sell at any beauty supply store year round and you shampoo them into your hair, dry your hair, and wash them out the next time you bathe. They’re for old ladies with perms who don’t wash their hair all the time. Several brands and well under 10$. I’m sure she used something like that. People need to chill.
Cute kid! My 5 year old wanted to try pink in her blonde hair so over the summer we put a few temporary pink highlights in it. It was kind of pretty but washed out fast. I hate twitter. People say ridiculous things to get a celebrity to respond to them. How starved for attention and pathetic.
Right? Non story…my preteen daughter wanted pink highlights. I wasn’t sure what to do but we took my son for a haircut at Super Cuts and they have these hair gel packs in many colors including pink and really cheap. So we bought a bunch of pink ones and i did her temp highlights. My son got the gel in electric blue…lol… They washed right out with shampoo, she got her temporary pink hair fix and she was so over it afterwards. There are so many creative options out there…but yeah people get a hair up their butts for attention…
? It was probably just a temporary dye. Geez, there are plenty of things to criticize about Simpson’s brand, but I hardly doubt those kids are well cared for.
JFC it was for a COSTUME. We used to use the spray dye back in the day for our Halloween costumes. It washed out and made a huge mess but we had so much fun with it.
The Mommy Mafia is no effin joke smdh..
The mommy brigades are scary AF. Take my word for it: NEVER post a picture of your child in a car seat. No matter how on point our car seat game is, mommy shamers come out of the woodwork for car seats.
I remember the temp hair dye spray! Fun. My mom used to let me buy Sun-In on occasion too. Somehow, I grew up to be a normal and functioning adult in society.
I honestly feel sorry for the kids of some of these hypervigilant moms. It would be awful to have such an uptight, anxious, judgy mom fluttering around you constantly, keeping you from doing anything.
The Mommy Mafia is real, and it has nothing to do with liberal or conservative. My Mommy Mafia judges are the organic food, yoga, helicopter, city-dwelling SAHMs with first world concerns.
Some find me odd and overly lax but can’t understand why my kids are sweet, confident and articulate. Their tone tells me they don’t believe it could have anything to do with me. My children aren’t perfect by any stretch, but they are easy to be around and likable.
Example: One of my sons and his sister are less than a year apart and act like twins. They wanted to be Magic Butterfly fairies. I let them tell me what that means, so we put it together. Pastels and wings and flower crowns. A boy dressed as his sister as fairies with makeup and glitter was just too far. My husband and I laugh, and I troll them sometimes for kicks but other times it is annoying, and I have to check my snark. Their kids are friends and classmates, and I don’t want my children to lose a friend because of me.
They disapprove that my daughter has a drum set and my son tells everyone he wants to be a nurse. I don’t care if my daughter wants purple streaks or my son likes kilts.
I don’t spank, and I don’t shame. Some days run smooth others make me want to pack them up and send them to a juvenile detention center.
MMs always find something to criticize. They love to bully concern whenever they can. Jessica’s kids are having fun, and I like that she let her daughter be what she wanted. It most likely washes out, and she is 5.
No mother is perfect. They aren’t either.
People need to mind their freaking business on things such as this. Worry about your own kids and leave hers alone. Women push out a couple of kids and all of a sudden they’re experts on children.
All I can think is how on earth did her kids get so big all of a sudden 🙂 They are too cute and look so much like their mom.
Cute! I used a temporary black hair gel in my son’s blond hair when he was 2 to be Elvis for Halloween. (It mostly just made his hair look more wet than black, but he was still adorable).
You are lucky! We did this to a friends fine blond hair and it was permanently dyed by the temporary. I guess because his hair was so very blond? Or also maybe hair dye has come a ways
I tested it on a little curl first. But I also think it partly didn’t stain because it didn’t really work? Like I said, his hair didn’t really look black. But he was cute anyway.
People suck. This is such a non issue that people need to get over themselves. My daughter wanted pink hair for her first day of 1st grade. Took her to salon, they used a temporary dye that washed out almost immediately (my only regret about the whole thing). She was thrilled, and I was happy to see her so happy. There are things to get upset about, like abuse, starvation, bullying, that fake hair dye on a 5 year old shouldn’t even warrant a reaction.
My parents always said who cares, it grows out. And it always did. No matter what the poor choices we made (frosted tips for the , bro, bleaching hair with the frosting bleach for me amongst others)
We both have fairly staid haircuts now and no fun colour, maybe that should change. I’d like some pastel streaks
This is a perfect example of when people just need to STFU!! Who cares if she dyed her childs hair?! HER CHILD!! I guarantee half those people bashing her give their children koolaid & sugar for breakfast! People in this world need to start worrying about things that directly affect their lives & the ones close to them! Stop putting all of this negative energy out into the world! It’s ugly!
anyone remember Sun-In? I went through bottles of that stuff trying to be my hair lighter.
nowadays it’s so easy!
And lemon juice!
OMG EVERYONE has a sun-in story. I just doused myself in it, and turned my naturally dark brunette hair the most peculliar shade of orange. They still make the stuff too!
Her husband looks exactly like Dave Grohl in that picture. Lol!
I see the resemblance, lol. He actually looks better with darker hair, imo.
Gah, people really do need to lighten the f&ck up. They look adorable, although Jessica as Willie is a little disconcerting.
Disconcerting, but I think I kind of love it? I’m always into gender bending costumes 💁🏼
I agree. It’s disconcerting because it’s so convincing.
Probably the best costume of the year….
I read about this a few days ago & the thing that stuck out to me was how many people seemed to be focused on the fact that Maxi was blonde & how on earth could Jessica dye that blonde hair? Maybe I was reading into it, but it took on a weird tone to me.
Char, this is how it struck me as well.
I have mentioned this phenomenon before, and I didn’t realize how prevalent it is but I believe it is leftover eugenics crap. Only white people are blonde 99.9999 percent of the time.
Growing up our hair color was constantly commented on and when some of my sibling’s hair darkened as they aged even that was worthy of comment. I have had people argue with me and have asked to check my roots! Insanity.
It is like an obsession.
I experience it with my children. I cut my son’s hair, and it was a shame because he looked like an angel with blonde curls. My girls the same. But nice things about my brownies never include that. Only one with unusual coloring draws attention.
Even with my biracial cousins who have similar coloring as Quincy Jones’ kids get the same thing.
My opinion is that it isn’t deliberate, but it is ingrained in our culture and even more so in darker cultures.
It is seriously stupid.
In elementary school, I knew a girl who started dying her brown hair blonde in the first grade. I thought that was sad, this is just whatever.
I think that is obscene. Ivanka’s hair was dyed as a kid to blonde. I believe Cindy Crawford’s son has always had colored hair. I may be wrong, but I don’t think two brunettes produce light blonde and dark eyes with blonde is very rarely seen mostly in Eastern Europe.
Tiresome mommy concern trolling.
Jeez! Some of those people need to chill out instead of shaming over nonsense like this. What’s the big deal about this? We did my 12 year old nephews hair with temporary dye for Halloween, we didn’t ruin his life and we weren’t shamed for it. Relax, tweeters!
She’s blonde, it’s easy to dye her hair temporarily. Not a big deal at all. It’s not like she got the child a real tattoo or something. Now, if she was bleaching the girl’s hair, I’d take issue, but this is harmless.
That is pretty stupid. This chick is weird.
Jessica as Willie Nelson is amazing!!!
Their daughter is a gorgeous little girl! I hate that so many people are always just waiting in the wings to mommy shame at all times. Just more woman vs. woman bullshit that serves no real purpose.
I love this part “you may have looked at the photos and thought ‘cute kids!’ But you would be wrong!” I laughed out loud.
I’m going to allow my 10 year old a temp dye during our vacation… and honestly the smile on his face is all that matters … people need to get a life
I dyed my daughters hair purple for Halloween because she went as Mal, like 50 billion other girls did this year. She didn’t want to wear a wig because someone in her class was wearing a wig, she wanted PURPLE hair. Everyone loved it, nobody said anything negative about it. Those mom’s need to chill.
Last year I spray painted my three year old’s hair into a rainbow faux hawk so she could be Rainbow Dash. Folks need to have several seats.
temporary wash-out colour without dye?
I actually did the same thing for halloween when my daughter was 6. She wanted to be ginny weasley from Harry Potter, but in the gryffindor robes, everyone kept thinking she was hermione. The wig was too itchy for a 6 year old, so I got the *very* temporary wash out color and let her go red for halloween. Report me now, mommy trolls!
I knew a woman who constantly had people shaming her for bleaching her daughter’s hair, except she never did, it just grew that way. They were Haitian or Dominican ( can’t remember) so black but fairly mixed along the genetic road and her daughter had pale blond hair. Mommy shamers are the worst.
Jessica is as trailer park queen as they come but my word, it’s a costume. I love social media, but hate it when people find the need to police others. Big Brother is so watching and has binoculars!!
Probably temporary dye but regardless why are people incapable of minding their own damn business?
Gotta love it when concern trolls act like they care more about a kid than the kid’s parents do.
One thing though.. she posted the photo on the 7th but she’s wearing the same outfit as the photo tagged October 24th by getty. So who knows if she’s back to blonde.
As long as its not some super harsh dye, who cares. There’s lots of color depositing dyes that won’t damage hair the way old hair dyes would.
Her daughter actually looks great as a brunette!
Mom’s on the internet are the reason why more people are forgoing becoming parents and are now instead choosing to spend those years meant for child rearing inside a dark, internet free, padded room with a glass of bourbon and a white noise machine.
Its a wig!!!! Jessica owns a wig and hair extension company!! Relax and dont get your panties in a twist.
Electric Tuba, I never turn my white noise machine off.
I love your hilarious comment.
Oh please. Her kids are so cute! People can be so hard on moms. Sometimes for good reason, but this is not one of them.
There are products in both mousse and spray that will make a blonde turn brunette. Neither is permanent.
She is completely adorable. I can see a lot of Jessica in her. Squeal cutie pie. Mommy Mafia is the worst. I don’t know who is worse Trump Supporter’s or the Mommy Mafia. I guess it would be Trump Supporters who are also Mommy Mafia.
Jessica is a great Mom and those kids are loved to pieces. Wonder if Mommy Mafia can say the same about their kids.
