Chris Pratt’s mother-in-law Maria Shriver has defended him after the actor was heavily criticised for his tribute to his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger on the grounds that it shaded his ex Anna Faris and their child.
Chris Pratt’s Mother-In-Law Maria Shriver Defends Him Following His Social Media Scandal
Chris, for his part, did not know that paying respect to his wife could get him so much hate. After all, he only wanted to show the world just how happy he was in his life.
According to his original message, he had stated: “Look how she’s looking at me! I mean. Find you somebody that looks at you like that!! You know!?
“We met in church. She’s given me an amazing life, a gorgeous healthy daughter.” Naturally, fans on social media interpreted his comments the wrong way.
The reference to a ‘healthy daughter’ was taken as Chris shading his ex Ana with whom he shares their nine-year-old son Jack. The former was born premature and therefore has suffered from health complications as a result.
Although Chris denied that he meant it to come out like this, he was very frank over how he suffered from depression because of it. That is why Maria came out to show that she was fully behind Chris.
In a post to her fans on Instagram, Maria said: “I want to remind you today what a good man you are. What a great father you are to Jack and Lyla.
“What a great husband you are to Katherine [and] what a great son in law you are to me and what a great sense of humour you have!!”
Nevertheless, there are concerns that Chris may become a victim of cancel culture. The talk on social media seems to be heavily on the side of Ana, who people feel has been hard done by.
And yet, Maria encouraged Chris to keep staying true to who he is as a man. She added: “I love you, Chris, keep being your wonderful self, rise above the noise.
“Your kids love [you,] your family loves you [and] your wife loves you.” It is safe to say that Chris should take some time off social media.
