Ant Anstead defends publishing his son’s photos in Christina Haack’s drama

Ant Anstead defends his decision to publish Hudson’s son photos after he called out for Christina Haack.

When the hosts of “Wheel Dealers” joint family photos with his father and a 3-year-old on Thursday, Instagram trolls accused him of showing the toddler.

“How do you post photos of Hudson with your family other than Christina posting photos of Hudson with her family?” one user asked.

Another wondered, “Why is Hudson on your IG? But mom can’t have it on her own ??? 🤷‍♀️ “

Anstead, 43, clapped his own comments in response, explaining that he only asked 39-year-old Haack not to “use” the image of their son.

“She had 25 weeks to consent,” wrote the car builder. – She finally did.

A graduate of “For the Love of Cars” noted in a separate comment that he “protected” [Hudson] when he didn’t have a voice ”since“ his childhood is not for sale ”.

In response to another fan, Anstead added “laugh[s] about “hatred of social media.”

“The uninformed herd mentality speaks of our current climate,” he explained. “If someone had told me 25 weeks ago ‘get some from the Karen gang in exchange for Hudzo not being used for the money’, I would have taken that deal!” “

The auto specialist referred to a September court ruling claiming that Haack was using their little one for personal gain via social media.

Alum “Flip or Flop” debunked his claims in court papers at the time, claiming that she never “made” Hudson appear on her account.

“I’ve never used our son, Hudson,” she claimed. “He has appeared in several of my own Instagram ads, each of which took less than 5 minutes. I have all the footage and they were all funny which he enjoyed. “

The following month, she called Anstead’s actions a “manipulation tactic” in the custody struggle.

“This is unnecessary pressure on the platform to be used to share selected moments, not a judgment tool,” she wrote on October 2. selfie on Instagram.

Anstead, for her part, continues documenting her life with Hudson via social media, from birthday parties down soccer games.

He and Haack tied the knot in December 2018, splitting up almost two years later. The former couple finalized their divorce in June 2021.
