The “Dancing with the Stars” alum encouraged others to “Appreciate the many ways this pure kind of love finds its way to you.”

“Talking like a grown woman who has LIVED HUNNAY!! 🔥🔥 HI Five Sis🙌🏽,” wrote another.
Someone else added, “So beautifully said Jeannie❤ I’m proud of you. Keep showing up and doing you, it’s a good luck 💫.”
It appeared that any negative comments on Mai’s post were related to Monaco’s hair. Some people also commented on the photos showing the toddler in just a diaper with her natural hair, whereas the “Dancing with the Stars” alum was in full glam mode.
“How are you beat from head to toe and your daughter isn’t?? Comb her hair put some clothes on her SMH,” read one critic’s comment.
“I know she ain’t got that baby in a pamper with hair looking not done properly for her hair texture and then she is completely done up to the floor up 🫠🫠,” critiqued another person.
Some people worded their comments in ways that signaled genuine concern and care for how Mai cares for Monaco’s hair. Others were more blunt.
Despite the numerous critical notes, the overall vibe of the comments section appeared to be supportive. Quite a few people added comments supporting Mai and challenging those who were less kind.
“These comments just show how ugly the world is, smh. Thank you for allowing us in your healing process and to let us enjoy your happiness along with Monaco ❤️,” countered one of Mai’s supporters.
Another supportive comment read, “Can’t believe some of these comments 😮. I think we have forgotten about natural beauty in it’s natural form. That is what @thejeanniemai is expressing here. Monaco is perfect!”
