We didn't think we'd see Paris Hilton as a mom, but now that she is, it's clear that she's really embracing her role. Her son Phoenix was born via a surrogate earlier this year, and Paris loves to post photos of him on her social media. But the most recent post featuring the little one has a lot of fans commenting about the shape of his head, and many of the comments have been less than kind.
"My precious angel baby Phoenix's first time in NYC. ✨ ♀️ ✨," she captioned the post, featuring her holding the baby in her lap.

Many of Paris's followers think it's OK to mock a baby
There are many comments that take not-so-subtle digs at Phoenix's appearance.
"Little does he know in a couple years he’s gonna take over the world ," someone said.
"stewie?" one person commented, alluding to the Family Guy character who is known for having an oddly shaped head.
" Ummm who going tell her?" another person said.
"Pinky and da brain " someone commented.
Others seem to be expressing concern for the baby's health
Some of her followers have made less cruel comments while still expressing a genuine concern for Phoenix's health. They all seem to think that there could be something wrong with his health, and that Hilton should address it if she already hasn't.
"God bless you ❤️ please take him to the neurosurgeon ASAP he needs a helmet soon I’m serious I’m a healthcare provider," one comment read.
"He really does look like he has macrocephaly! My boys all had big heads, but his is much larger. And yes I’m a nurse," another read.
"Hey Paris, your baby may need what’s called a 'shunt' to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid. We see it a lot in the NICU. He’s super cute though! – concerned NICU nurse," someone else commented.
Some fans are coming to Paris and Phoenix's defense
Whether people are being intentionally mean, or just not using any common sense when commenting, there were some people calling out hecklers for their unnecessary behavior.
"Wtf with rude ppl? It’s just a baby, and don't pretend that you care about him health when you are not careful with the damage caused by your comments," one person said.
"How many mean people in comments It's just a baby! Whether he has some special condition or not, can't he be exposed by the mother like a normal child? Y’all are all bitter."
"How can people Bully a baby? What is wrong with you? It’s an innocent little baby ❤️"
Paris hasn't addressed the comments
To her credit, Hilton hasn't responded to or addressed any of the negative comments about Phoenix. She might already be talking to a doctor to see if there's a problem and living her life and not being concerned by what strangers on the internet think about her son's head. Only time will tell.
