Just last week, Jackson faced significant backlash after she publicly criticized Palmer for her choice of clothing, a fitted black bodysuit underneath a sheer dress while attending Usher’s Las Vegas Residency. Jackson tweeted a video of Palmer dancing with the famous singer, accompanied by the text, “It’s a dress though … you’re a mom.”
Many Twitter users were quick to defend Palmer, slamming Jackson for publicly criticizing the former child star instead of reaching out to him in private.
In response to the criticism, Jackson doubled down on his opinion, wrote, “We live in a generation where a man in the family doesn’t want his wife & mother of his children showing booty cheeks to please others & he is told what a hater he is. This is my family & my representative. I have standards & morals for what I believe. I rest my case.”
