Speaking to her followers about the criticism, Charlotte said "[I] don't appreciate comments like why haven't you said his name and put a pic on yet.

"Just because I'm in the public eye and put myself out there, can I not have a little bit of time out and privacy? I've just had a baby FFS. Like any normal human being!!! It's so much pressure."

One troll replied to her post "Privacy? But you've had your t**s out on almost every pic you've posted since he's been born. Can't claim you want privacy haha when your literally sharing the most special and precious moments with your baby to everyone since he's been born."
