The Instagram post about the outing marked the new mom’s first public appearance since giving birth and undergoing a double mastectomy after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
The milestone didn’t stop trolls from lashing out at the Gutfeld! panelist for having fun in the California desert instead of only focusing on her duties as a mom.
But Timpf was quick to shoot down any backlash by sharing a defiant message on Tuesday.
“One fun thing I’ve noticed about being a mom is if you ever post with your baby, or God forbid, having fun without your baby, people are like ‘Oh my God, where’s her baby? She’s a mother. Should a mother be acting like this? Grow up!'” Timpf said in a clip posted on her social media accounts.
Timpf said the people criticizing her are often the same people who wonder why women don’t want to have kids.
“Well, I don’t know, maybe because as soon as you do, you are not allowed to act like a person without getting bullied for it,” Timpf said.
She joked, “Maybe that has something to do with it, Sharon!”
Timpf said the negative reactions are unavoidable because trolls also call out people for posting about their children.
