Lauryn Goodman has responded to accusations from fans commenting on Annie Kilner’s social media that she is “brainwashing” her children.
The influencer, 33, shares two children – Kairo, four, and 14-month-old Kinara – with Annie’s estranged footballer husband Kyle Walker, 34.
And amid the ongoing drama following her affair with the married sportsman and their subsequent paternity scandal, Lauryn has dismissed suggestions that she has ‘brainwashed’ the two young children she shares with Kyle.
Speaking of her Kind regards podcast On Wednesday, Lauryn revealed that a fan told her that Annie, 31, “liked” negative comments about Lauryn and her children — despite Annie routinely liking many of her followers’ comments.
Clearly unfazed by the news, Lauryn told co-host Lisa Andrews: “I got a message today saying that her page is being liked in comments about me apparently brainwashing my kids. Can we touch that?

On her Yours Sincerely podcast on Wednesday, Lauryn revealed that a fan told her that Annie, 31, “liked” negative comments about Lauryn and her children
“Come on, what am I brainwashing my kid about?”
She turned to Lisa and asked, “Have I ever… You’re here, and you’re around me so often. I’m not bringing up his father [Kyle] it [Kairo]I?
While Lisa confirmed that Lauryn “never” mentions her ex in front of her son, the Celebs Go Dating star continued, “We literally move on with our lives. We are a small family unit.
“I just think it’s crazy that people think I’m just sitting there trying to get him to rehearse things or something. What good would that do for my child? What matters to me is how my child will feel in the future.
“These are things that his father will have to deal with in the future because Kairo and Kinara will 100% want to ask him some questions.
“And unfortunately I don’t think the answers he’ll give will be good enough because they can see through him and that’s my personal opinion.”
Meanwhile, a source told MailOnline: ‘Annie receives thousands of comments and likes in overwhelming support and she often goes through and likes a few to show fans she appreciates their messages.
“But neither Annie nor Kyle would ever want to involve children in what Lauren has turned into a public circus with her weekly podcast. Annie and Kyle are trying to move on with their lives and wish Lauryn would do the same.”
MailOnline has contacted Annie’s representatives for comment.
Lauryn’s comments come after she dismissed speculation that Annie filed for divorce from her husband Kyle in an attempt to jeopardize the child support she receives.

Mum-of-four Annie last month instructed her lawyers to start legal proceedings as she prepares to battle for half of the Manchester City defender’s £27million fortune.
The couple split last December after it was revealed that Kyle had fathered his second child with Lauryn, who texted Annie to reveal the news.
‘It’s completely different and has no impact. I won’t say too much, but this is not the case.’
In July, Lauryn and Kyle fought in court over child support for their two children, Kairo and Kinara.
The judge awarded Lauryn to receive £12,500 a month and £51,000 for a new car every three years. But her requests for an air conditioning unit worth £33,000 and astro turf worth £31,200 were rejected.
During an Instagram Q&A this weekend, a follower asked, “Do you think Annie is doing this ‘divorce’ so your kids don’t get any money?”
Lauryn replied, “There are few. Stupid if you believe that story… Doesn’t affect the support of my children whatsoever.
‘It’s completely different and has no impact. I won’t say too much, but this is not the case.’
Childhood sweethearts Kyle and Annie met as teenagers in Sheffield, but the footballer has been embroiled in a series of scandals over the years.
After Annie began legal proceedings for divorce, a source told MailOnline: ‘Things are as bad between them as they have ever been. It wasn’t like a normal marriage.
‘They hardly spoke to each other. She divorces Kyle because she just can’t forgive him for what he did to her. She can’t get over it. She tried.

During a Q&A on Instagram, a follower asked, “Do you think Annie is doing this ‘divorce’ so your kids don’t get any money?” Lauryn replied: “You’re a fool if you believe that story.”
“Kyle seems to have accepted that it’s over. He has been happier in the last week. As if the weight of the world has fallen from his shoulders.’
The footballer had already been kicked out of his shared home by Annie when Lauryn first revealed she was expecting his baby.
But the couple stayed together and married at Mottram Hall in Cheshire in November 2021 after he proposed with a £250,000 ring.
However, Kyle cheated on Annie again with Lauryn, who became pregnant with their second child – a girl named Kinara who was born last June.
In December, Lauryn texted Annie saying, “Hey, it’s Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.”
Annie, who was pregnant with their fourth son at the time, confirmed they had split two weeks later – and Walker moved into a rented country house near their shared home as he tried to repair their relationship.
