Controversy Erupts as Chris Pratt’s Mother’s Day Snub of Ex-Wife Anna Faris Sparks Debate
Chris Pratt, amidst Mother’s Day celebrations, found himself at the center of a social media storm as he noticeably excluded his ex-wife, Anna Faris, from his tribute.
The Marvel star, like many others, took to Instagram to honor the maternal figures in his life, lavishing praise on his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger and his own mother, Kathy Pratt. However, his silence regarding Faris, with whom he shares an 11-year-old son named Jack, did not go unnoticed.
This isn’t the first time Pratt has neglected to mention Faris in his Mother’s Day homage, a fact that stirred frustration among some of his followers.
Many questioned why he would overlook the woman who is still the mother of his child, arguing that she deserved recognition on the special day.
Yet, a counter-narrative emerged from other quarters of his fanbase, defending Pratt’s decision. They argued that given the circumstances of their post-divorce relationship, publicly acknowledging Faris might be inappropriate or uncomfortable for both parties.
Comments flooded Pratt’s social media, with some fans advocating for Faris’s acknowledgment and others defending Pratt’s right to focus solely on his current family.
One supporter emphasized, “Every year you guys are so obsessed with talk about his ex-wife when he has remarried. I’m sure Anna doesn’t want him calling her out either.”
Another echoed this sentiment, stating, “Y’all, as an ex-wife, not all of us want some public post from our ex. And as a current wife, I wouldn’t want my husband posting one. No need to slam the guy.”
Pratt’s tributes on social media have often been scrutinized, with past instances leading to misunderstandings and controversies.
In 2021, he faced backlash for seemingly making a subtle dig at Faris when thanking Schwarzenegger for their “beautiful, healthy daughter,” a comment misinterpreted as a slight against Faris, who had Jack prematurely in 2014.
Reflecting on such incidents, Pratt expressed frustration with the public’s tendency to misinterpret his intentions and the potential impact on his son.
This history of online scrutiny has prompted some of Pratt’s defenders to advocate for empathy and understanding, suggesting that he deserves a reprieve from constant judgment.
In the end, Pratt’s Mother’s Day tribute sparked a debate about the complexities of post-divorce relationships and the boundaries of public acknowledgment, highlighting the challenges of navigating personal matters in the public eye.
