Theron came under fire after her son Jackson was snapped having a tantrum, with the photo making the rounds in tabloids.
The media personality and designer has been called out for her parenting commitments. In 2017, she complained about having to help her son with homework. "It's not my d**n homework. But it feels like it," she wrote.

The 'Pretty Little Liars' and 'You' star was mom-shamed as soon as she became a mother. Critics felt it was too soon for the actress to be out having fun. More specifically, they had an issue with her attending fellow Canadian Drake's birthday party.
Mitchell made it clear that while she announced the birth on Oct. 20, 2019 and attended the party on Oct. 23, that doesn't mean people know when her daughter was actually born. "Apparently people are really upset that I left three days after having a kid to go out and party. It wasn't three days," she clarified in an Instagram Story.
Eva Longoria says she experienced this first hand after becoming a mother for the first time. Mom to two-year-old Santiago, she shared on Anna Faris' podcast 'Unqualified' that "The mom shamers of the world are real."
In an interview with InStyle magazine, Megan Fox shared that she comes under fire every time she's photographed without her children. The actress has three kids with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, but pointed out that the same thing would never happen to a dad who was seen out and about without his children. "They have another parent. I have to leave and sometimes I don't want them photographed and they don't come with me. This whole year I've been very surprised by how archaic some of the mindsets still are in some people."
As a celebrity mother, there seems to be no room for mistakes. Even if you're not sharing pics of family life on social media, paparazzi are still pursuing your every move, hunting for a story to snap up. Tabloids love a celebrity mother with 'bad parenting skills,' with readers and commenters being quick to mom-shame.
Singer Michelle Branch took to Twitter on March 15 to share a troubling experience she had while breastfeeding her baby at a park. "I just got shamed by another mother (who was holding her own young infant!) for nursing my 6 week old baby on a bench at a playground while my toddler was playing," she wrote, referring to the daughter she welcomed with husband Patrick Carney on February 2. "She said I wasn't ‘being modest' I am in shock that this kind of judgement was coming from a fellow mom!"
Branch continued in another tweet, "...and to clarify, I had a nursing tank top on and was seated away from others. It's not like I walked into the crowd and whipped my t-ts out. Being a mom is hard enough. Can we not judge one another for how we feed our babies?"
