People Are Dragging Chris Pratt For Leaving His Ex-Wife Anna Faris Out Of His Mother’s Day Tribute
Once upon a time, before Chris “The Worst of His Name” Pratt found Jesus and subsequently got so lost in his own sauce that he had the audacity to compare himself to him; he was married to and had a son with Anna Faris. But they ended up divorcing, both to eventually remarry. And these days, Chris has a habit of barfing out saccharine social media posts about his current wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, so it was par for the course that he hunt-and-pecked out a Mother’s Day tribute calling her an amazing mom to their two daughters and stepmom to his son, Jack. Though Chris did include his mom and mother-in-law in the post as well, he didn’t mention Jack’s actual mom, Anna; and his comment section went wild with accusations that he had intentionally shaded her.
Chris was one of the many Instagram Mother’s Day post-feed-cloggers this past Sunday when he posted a picture of himself with Katherine, her mom Maria Shriver, and his own mom Kathy Pratt along with a tribute to them in the caption, but Anna was nowhere to be found.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers out there. Especially grateful today for Katherine. You’re a wonderful partner. You’ve provided me such a blessed life. Our two daughters are so lucky to have you,” the actor, 43, said of Lyla, 2, and Eloise, who will turn 1 over the weekend.
Not only did Chris snub 46-year-old Faris — to whom he was married for eight years before the pair decided to divorce in August 2017 — but he also called Katherine, 33, “the best step mama to Jack.”
After gushing over his own mother as well as his mother-in-law, the “Guardians of the Galaxy” star concluded his post, “And to all of the other moms in my life, I’m so grateful for all you do- thank you so much. Hope you feel celebrated today.”
Here’s his post:
This isn’t the first time Chris has drawn ire by omitting the members of his first family from his Instagram posts. As we know, he caught a ton of shit a couple of years ago for thanking Katherine for their “healthy” baby daughter (in a post that wasn’t even, like, a birth announcement), which seemed like a pointed qualifier to choose considering his and Anna’s baby son Jack arrived prematurely and had some health issues. The internet never forgot and immediately got to work reading him for his Mother’s Day snub.
“And ur [sic] other baby mama? … And the other mother? … What about jacks mom?” critics demanded to know, with one calling his lack of “appreciation” for “the one who gave you your first child” plain “gross.”
“Forgot someone…” another noted, with someone else adding, “Happy Mothers Day Ana [sic] Farris.”
“It would not have killed you to acknowledge the mother of your first child by nam[e] like really!” another dissenter remarked.
Though a few people who aren’t completely sick of his smug cat-disposing mug yet came to his defense since he tossed in a generic “all mothers,” which would technically include Anna.
“He literally said happy Mother’s Day to ALL of the mothers out there, that includes his ex,” one person commented. “Everyone calm down.”
Another pointed out that the “House Bunny” star “never made a father’s day post about him after they broke up either” and called the outrage a “double standard.”
We should expect no less from The Worst Chris. There’s a pretty high likelihood he’ll publicly cry some victim-complex tears about this, but maybe Nick Cannon can sit next to him and provide some comfort as a fellow Mother’s Day 2023 ball dropper!
