AceShowbiz - Navigating parenthood in the digital age is a complex task. For country singer Jana Kramer, this means balancing the joy of sharing family moments with the harsh realities of a world that can quickly twist those innocent times. Her recent decision to remove a video of her daughter Jolie is a case in point.
The 40-year-old star recently took down a video of her 8-year-old daughter, Jolie, dancing at home. Although she initially saw no problem with the video, feedback from her followers convinced her otherwise.
"Jolie asked to see [the] original this morning and I told her I took it down after some convos," Kramer posted on her Instagram Stories. "She was sad, I explained why, and I said we can redo…and she said yay!"
Kramer candidly admitted that she didn't notice any issue with her daughter's sports bra-clad dancing at first. "I forget how sick this world is and how sexualized kids are," she explained. "Jolie came down the stairs that morning in her sports bra and said, 'Alright momma I'm ready to work out.' "
The singer went on to share her struggle with balancing the joy of sharing her family online and the need to protect her children from the potential dangers of public exposure. "I looked at the comments and at first again if I'm honest I thought, 'She's wearing more than a bathing suit?!' But after some convos and a few chats with followers over dm I made [the] decision to take down."
Kramer, who shares Jolie and son Jace, 5, with ex-husband Mike Caussin, and son Roman, 10 months, with her current husband Allan Russell, acknowledged how perilous the online world can be. "Again I had no clue just how far these sickos go. Sad honestly that's where the world is at," she expressed.
The country star also shared a light-hearted conversation with Jolie on an April episode of her podcast, "Whine Down with Jana Kramer". Jolie asked if it was alright if she didn't like Taylor Swift, a question Kramer found surprising yet relatable. "I was like, 'Honey, 1000%, you can like whoever you want,' " she told her daughter. This conversation echoed her broader parenting ethos: encouraging her children to form their own opinions, even in a world obsessed with celebrities and social norms.
Jana Kramer's actions underscore an essential reminder for parents: the internet, while a place for sharing and community, requires vigilance when it comes to our children's safety. Her candid reflection serves as a valuable lesson for young people navigating the often murky waters of online exposure.
