Any parent on social media knows that it can sometimes be jarring to follow your kids' accounts. There are some things they post that, frankly, you'd probably rather not see—and that's also true if you're a celebrity. On May 13, Ireland Baldwin, the 25-year-old daughter of exes Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, posted some risqué photos on her Instagram account that she partially censored. But her parents were not too thrilled. Both Baldwin and Basinger, who were married from 1993 to 2002, have publicly expressed their disapproval for some of Ireland's Instagram photos in the comments. Read on to find out what the pair said.

Ireland Baldwin recently posted risqué photos to her Instagram.

On May 13, Ireland posted two risqué photos on her Instagram, where she can been seen wearing not much more than over-the-knee boots. She censored herself with a black bar, as Instagram has a policy against nudity "with some exceptions, like photos of post-mastectomy scarring and women actively breastfeeding." Ireland captioned the two photos, "the type uh girl you take home 2 mother." But it seems her own mother disagrees.

Basinger left a comment on the photo saying, "Or you don't even bring her home to her OWN MOTHER ...after that.......," with an angry face and heart emoji.

But many others championed Baldwin for baring it all. One Instagrammer commented saying, "You're beautiful, anyone would be very lucky to take you home to their mom," while another simply said, "My mom would love you—come for dinner anytime." Another commenter even compared Ireland to her mother, saying that the photos reminded them of Basinger's starring role in the film 9 1/2 Weeks.

Alec Baldwin also left his own disapproving comment on one of Ireland's earlier photos.

Unlike his ex's comment, Baldwin's criticism about some of Ireland's earlier bikini photos was a little more succinct. In May, she posted two photos in a leopard two piece while sitting on the side of a bathtub, captioning the post, "psa: it's incredibly freeing to stop worrying about what others think of you and being imprisoned by constantly thinking of what you can do to make people like you!!" To which Baldwin simply responded, "No."

But Ireland says she's proud of her body, no matter what her parents say.

It doesn't appear that Basinger or Baldwin's comments have affected Ireland. In fact, she simply responded to her mother's comment with a "hahahahaha." And she did not publicly address Baldwin's.

She also responded to another person who criticized her May 13 post with the comment: "Someone needs attention."

"Proud of my body," Ireland responded to the comment with a smiley face. "Try dancing around in thigh highs sometime. It's fun."
