“I think she will regret this post in a few weeks” [or] months,” added another.
“She can do whatever she wants, like any mother, but it seems a little odd that a week after the baby she’s been longing for [for] so long arrives and she is partying. Even if it was only an hour or so, it still seems a bit strange.”
Another asked Wilson to “think of the woman” who gave birth to her baby.
‘Um sorry?!? Didn’t you just have a baby this week? So confused now. This is the most important time to bond with your baby, not party,” one comment read.

‘I was shocked when I saw this post, but after seeing all the comments here I don’t really need to add anything. My opinion is also covered here,” said another.
However, many fans in the comment section jumped to Wilson’s defense, arguing that “moms should have time for themselves too.”
‘Can’t mothers let their hair down? Shouldn’t mothers take a break for themselves, their own souls? None of us have any idea what’s going on in Rebel’s life, so don’t think for a second that you have any right to judge,” one said.

“There are plenty of women who go out early in parenthood without their baby,” added another.
‘Of course not everyone can or wants to do that, but there are many who do. Why do people have to make such a big deal about it? Life doesn’t end when you have children.’
Several others echoed these sentiments, saying they hoped to “normalize new moms who take an hour or two to themselves.”
