Fans expressed concern over their school’s name and emblem being shown on their uniforms.
"Why would you publicly post your kids’ school name?! I’m not famous but no way I’d share where my kid goes to school publicly. This is wild," one bewildered fan said, while another asked, “What responsible adult in the industry wouldn’t think to blur your child’s school!?”
"Edit out school on uniform… just sayin. Creepers out there," warned another.

Others took a more understanding approach, with one saying: "Be kind. She prob didn’t realize school names are visible. Now y’all just drawing attention to it."
Sharing personal details like school names on social media can expose children to dangers, such as stalking or identity theft.
Celebrities—who are often constantly followed by paparazzi—must be extra vigilant in safeguarding their kids' privacy. Protecting such information can be crucial to ensure their safety.
