Audrina Patridge from “The Hills” opened up about the judgment she faced after giving birth, and we are so mad on her behalf
As if parenthood isn’t hard enough, Audrina Patridge from “The Hills” revealed she was judged for a few things, namely, having a baby before officially getting married. Since it’s 2017, we can’t believe that people still pass judgment on this — especially since Patridge has formed quite a happy family for herself.
Her daughter, Kirra Max, was born on June 24th of last year — so, she’s about six months old. She married Kirra’s father, Corey Bohan, on November 5th. The two started dating in 2008, so they were pretty rock solid before the announcement of Patridge’s pregnancy.
"The baby was a surprise," Patridge said in an interview with Momtastic. And I was like, you know what? This is meant to be."

Even though Patridge handled the news beautifully, and didn’t let it distract her from her other plans with Bohan, people still managed to point out the fact that she was technically a mom before a wife.
"A lot of people gave me a hard time for having a baby before getting married, but who are they to judge?" Patridge said. "You always have those few haters who are going to be negative in every situation. At the end of the day, nobody is perfect. You have to do what’s good for you."
But, that wasn’t all. According to Patridge, she was also judged for getting a c-section — which is a surgical way to remove a baby through the abdomen and uterus.
While some women choose to have them, others need to based on a game-day decision. No matter what, there’s no “right” way to have a baby — everyone’s situation is a little different.
"I never thought that I would be judged about something like that. I had no choice; I had to have a c-section," Patridge noted. "I would have loved to have had her naturally, but it was just impossible...It’s really strange to me that people are so opinionated about how someone else gives birth."
We can’t believe she was shamed due to a very routine surgical procedure that her doctor had approved of. If anything, this is a great reminder to never try to pass judgment — especially before hearing the whole story.
Of course, the life lessons that she’s learned through pregnancy, marriage, and even The Hills, will someday be passed onto young Kirra.
"Just because they have a different opinion or want to do something else doesn’t mean they’re wrong. Everyone is different. Accept people for who they are and don’t judge," Patridge said.
Kirra is so lucky to have such a wise mother. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
