Tarek El Moussa defends Heather Rae Young after ‘tone deaf’ private jet post

Tarek El Moussa supported wife Heather Rae Young after fans slammed her over her “tone deaf” post about their baby’s first private jet flight.

After a fan commented, “a plane is a plane – flying is flying – she breast fed him before and after and that’s what helped nothing do with being in a private jet,” in defense of Young’s post, the “Flip or Flop” star responded with three clapping emojis.

“Love you guys!!!” he added in a separate comment.

The “Selling Sunset” star immediately came under fire this week after she detailed her son’s first flight — aboard the luxury aircraft.

I breast fed him on the way up and then again on the way down to help with ear popping,” she wrote alongside a picture of her holding her son, Tristan, on the flight.

”It worked perfectly and then the rest of the flight he just giggled, played and looked around and was so happy & didn’t cry once… he loved the new environment.”

However, many fans failed to find her post relatable as the reality star didn’t have to deal with security, strange people and any of the other struggles one might find aboard a commercial flight.

“I love you and think you are an incredible woman, boss, mama and so many other things. You radiate positivity and inclusivity. BUT, this is tone def af,” commented a devoted follower.

“Private jet with help, is not an accomplishment. It’s straight privilege (and your hard work) but ZERO precent relatable.”

Young, 35, has yet to respond to the criticism.
