Jessie James Deckeris setting the record straight.
Sharing footage of her children, Jessie James said she “didn’t plan on” discussing the claims, however, she changed her mind.
“When I posted the pix of our vacation and included the kids being silly flexing on the beach on our thanksgiving trip I had NO clue it would get the reaction it did,” she said. “ButBeing accused of photoshoppingabs on my kids (I can’t help but laugh) or … the polar opposite over ‘overtraining’ our kids makes me realize how bizarre our world has gotten regarding the body and what’s normal and what’s not.”
She added that her children’s “mass amount of genetic and built muscle from athletics” should not be considered “weird.”
Jessie James continued, “I want to raise my kids to feel proud of their bodies and hard work from either Vivis elite competitive gymnastics to Eric Jr wanting to be like dad as an NFL receiver to little Forrest who spends hours dancing his heart out.”
The “I Still Love You” singer told her followers not to “pick and choose what we normalize regarding bodies and be accepting of all people and children.”
“If we wanna do ‘better’ then do better,” wrote Jessie James.
She made it clear she is “proud” of her kids and wants to “encourage them to live their dreams.”
On Sunday,she clapped back at fanswho commented on the Instagram image of her three children posing together on a beach in Mexico and said the kids were “jacked” or accused Jessie James of editing the photo.

“Surely this is an app but I don’t see anyone saying as much,” Jessie James responded sarcastically. “Yeah I used an ‘ab’ app on my small children wtf.”
“From one mother to another,” she wrote. “Please don’t call my children’s appearance strange just because they don’t look the way you think they should? It’s unkind.”
