Katharine McPhee’s family is coming to her defense.
After some social media users criticized his comment on the photo, McPheeresponded on Wednesday in a post of her own.
“I’m sorry but we are not sorry. And for all of you who can’t deal with it maybe this helps. I’ve struggled with weight my whole 20s and 30. I’ve gone up and down 10 times over. Does that make you feel better? There is nothing wrong with that — most people do,” she began in the caption alongside another photo of her in a bathing suit.
In the comment section, Foster’s daughters Erin, 39, and Sara, 40, showed support for McPhee’s message.
Added Sara, “If you had had cellulite and stretch marks in the photo and the caption was exactly the same we would all be celebrating his post. But you don’t and that’s not allowed to be celebrated.”

McPhee and Foster welcomed Rennie in February after tying the knot in June 2019.
The actresssaid in Marchthat her “biggest challenge” while carrying Rennie was the fear thather past struggles with disordered eating and bulimiawould return as her shape grew. That gave McPhee a “healthy love-hate relationship with pregnancy,“she told E! News.
“I think that I struggled a little bit with the getting bigger part,” she said.
In the months since, McPhee said she hasn’t had any desire to push herself to lose weight.
“I’m so much happier, so much more peaceful,” she continued. “And actually, the extra weight that I gained while I was pregnant has just sort of fallen off naturally. I never had to torture myself to do any of those things.”
