Summary
Brown said on Kylie Kelce’s podcast that online critics misread photos of her carrying bags and a car seat while Bongiovi appeared empty-handed.
The 22-year-old actress argued the backlash clashes with female empowerment, saying she often moves ahead because she has already planned what to carry herself.
Brown described Bongiovi as caring and willing to do anything for her, but said he also knows she is capable and that outsiders do not know their relationship.
The debate drew mixed reactions online, with some fans backing her stance and others saying the issue was shared parenting and whether he should have stepped in.
Brown and Bongiovi, who married in May 2024, adopted a daughter in August 2025 and have kept the child’s life private while Brown says she also hopes to give birth one day.
