Presenter Adamari López decided to break her silence in the face of the strong criticism that arose when her daughter Alaïa, 10, was captured on social networks wearing stilettos that belonged to her mother.
The image was shared from Alaïa’s public account and quickly generated debate between admiration and concern. Many people reacted and the host had to raise her voice.
The origin of the controversy
On July 27, Alaïa posted a photo in high heels, with the caption: “I love these mommy shoes… I already fit like mommy.”.
While many followers described the moment as adorable, others called it inappropriate: messages such as “It’s not right, she’s still a child” or “Sexualization of childhood” multiplied in the comments section.
People started leaving her blunt reactions on the little girl’s Instagram, when it was obvious from the photo that it was an innocent girlish prank.
Adamari Lopez’s strong reaction
On August 4, 2025, Adamari posted a message on Facebook and Univision Famosos clarifying that the image was part of an innocent game, not a public outing or promotion.
She noted that many girls resort to putting on their mom’s heels out of curiosity, and this does not equate to sexualization or undue exposure.
He emphasized that his daughter did not leave the house with that footwear, but wore it in a private and supervised moment.
She also thanked those who sent them messages of support and emphasized that “sometimes they forget that she is just a child and plays like all children”.
Emotional impact: public criticism and tears
Adamari also recalled an episode in the previous June, when the minor read hurtful comments about her mother on social networks and reacted by crying inconsolably:
“My mom is not like that…” was what Alaïa cried, explained the presenter in her podcast Ada y Chiqui de Show.
This moment prompted Adamari to define herself as a caring and thoughtful mother, striving to create a protected emotional environment for her daughter.
From a very young age, Alaïa has had a media presence: she modeled since she was 9 years old and has been part of television shows alongside her mother. The great exposure also implies permanent public scrutiny, which worries Adamari as a mother.
Ha recibido muchos comentarios, unos muy lindos, muchos positivos y algunos negativos...A veces siento que se les olvida que sólo es una niña y juega como todas las niñas

Cultural differences: while in some cultures heels may symbolize childlike admiration, in others they are perceived as a premature trend.
