An influencer who shared a photo of her sitting on her stepfather's lap has sparked a furious debate, with some labelling her pose "uncomfortable" and even "triggering" to see.
Brielle Biermann, 23, is the daughter of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak-Biermann and has more than 1.3 million followerson Instagram.
Kim, 42, married Kroy Biermann, 35, in 2011 and the NFL player adopted Brielle and her sister Ariana two years later.
On Monday Brielle shared a touching birthday to Kroy on Instagram, describing him as the "most amazing father & man I'll ever know" and "love love you dad!"
"Some of these comments are ridiculous! A child sat on her dad's lap … what is abnormal about that! I cannot understand why anyone would teach their child not to sit on their father's lap as some people have stated!" one person wrote.
"Stunned at these comments. If you think sitting on her dad's lap is perverted it says more about you than it does Brielle," another said.
"The comments of her sitting on her Dad's lap is disturbing … like what is wrong with you people," another commenter read.
"He's such an amazing example of what it's like to take care of and love children like his own. The episode where he adopts you girls had me in tears."
Brielle also responded to the questions about why she was sitting in her stepfather's lap, saying it had been a funny moment during Kroy's birthday celebrations.
"Honestly bc I had no where else to sit we were making jokes the whole time about him being Santa it was comedy," she wrote in response to one comment.
