It further revealed that the event was Chanel's "first as a prospector" before displaying the little one choosing her own outfit and beaming in their car. Despite the video showing other parts of how the duo got ready for their outing, Coco's followers could not disregard Chanel bathing in a sink as they took to the comments to express their criticism.

A fan believed the youngster was being treated like an infant, while another stated that the bath was "awkward" to watch given that the girl was too old for it. On the other hand, several others were taken with the former beauty pageant titleholder's fantastic idea and could not help but gush over her "deep" and possibly costly sink.

It is no news that Coco and her husband, Ice-T, are known for their debatable parenting choices, from continuing to breastfeed their child to pushing her in a stroller, of which the latter gained popularity back in May. In response to the criticisms at the time, the "Southwest Babes" actress exclaimed via Twitter that the world loved condemning whatever she did.
