Deena Cortese had a message to all the mommy shamers giving her s**t in her Instagram comments!
On Tuesday, the Jersey Shore star took to the social media platform to clap back at the commenters calling her out for not putting shoes on her one-year-old son “CJ” AKA Christopher John and for the way he walks.

Not only did Deena explain her only child has metatarsus adductus, a foot deformity which causes the front half of the foot to turn inward, but that she’s already been on top of it by getting him fitted for braces.
In a lengthy post, she opened up about the hurtful shaming:
“I’ve been getting a lot of messages about CJs feet, how he walks and other mothers ridiculing me for not putting shoes on him at 1 years old .. please before messaging me telling me what I should do or asking and making comments about why he’s not wearing shoes.. maybe ask if I’ve already looked into what you see could be wrong ..because more than likely I have ..anything you guys notice about my son .. I most likely noticed it before anyone else.. I just didn’t think it was necessary to let anyone know why his feet went the way they do .. or the reason he’s not wearing shoes .. I appreciate the concerning messages but maybe come in asking and not telling .. that doesn’t make a mother feel great 🤷🏻♀️”
The 33-year-old continued:
“CJ has Metatarsus Adductus.. and will be getting night braces to get it corrected .. he’s had it since he was born but we noticed it at 10 months when he started walking .. the doctor says it’s common and we’ve been on top of it .. unfortunately his right foot has an extreme case and he literally can not get a shoe on .. that is why CJ isn’t in shoes and just socks and booties”
The Instagram post itself featured a screenshot of a text she sent, which read:
“Bc he needs braces on his feet and he can’t wear sneakers .. and we’ve been to the doctors and xrays .. it’s not that I “don’t” put shoes on him .. he literaly can’t get shoes on his right foot .. we are getting fitted for night braces soon ..
You shouldn’t call mothers out by telling them what they should do before knowing or asking for facts first
I got his feet checked as soon as I saw an issue at 10 months old”

Cortese’s comments were filled with support, including some kind words from Jersey Shore co-star Jenni “JWoww” Farley, who wrote:
“Im sorry Deena 😢 You are an incredible mother. Always putting CJ first and I know how hard this has been for you. How people choose to ‘voice their concern’ is a reflection on them. Not you. Keep being the amazing mom you are 💖”
Preach!!
This isn’t the first time Cortese has had critics all up in her IG.
Back when she first brought CJ home from the hospital after giving birth, the momma was slammed for the outfit she chose to put him in for the car ride home.
You really can’t win when it comes to the mommy shamers…
