Ferne McCann is facing backlash from fans over a TikTok video featuring her pet cockapoo, Clemmie, participating in a popular social media trend. Critics accused the former TOWIE star of handling her dog roughly in the video, which mimicked a viral trend inspired by monster dolls known as Labubu.
In the footage shot in her kitchen, Ferne playfully imitated the Labubu look by lifting Clemmie’s ears to stand upright on the dog’s head while mouthing the voiceover. The clip concluded with Ferne cuddling Clemmie in her arms. The trend, originating from a video by creator Lilz Bullz, has gained immense popularity online, with various individuals, including celebrities like Ashley Benson and The Jonas Brothers, joining in on the fun.
Despite the light-hearted nature of the trend, many viewers raised concerns about Ferne’s treatment of her dog. Some comments suggested that the dog seemed uncomfortable, prompting discussions about potential animal welfare issues. This backlash comes shortly after Ferne received criticism for sharing images of herself breastfeeding her two-year-old daughter, Finty.
Defending her choice to post the breastfeeding content on This Morning, Ferne explained that she wanted to normalize breastfeeding and support mothers who choose to breastfeed. She highlighted the importance of respecting individual choices regarding infant feeding. Ferne addressed negative reactions to her posts, emphasizing that her intention was not to offend but to share her breastfeeding journey positively.
