TheChristina on the Coaststaraddressed her decisionto no longer share photos of her youngest child online after it became a point of legal contention between herself and Anstead on Oct. 3.

“Hudson’s father has made attempts to turn my family, friends and fans against me through manipulation tactics and false information. This has had great impact on me and my household,” the 39-year-old alleged in the caption on Instagram.

“Because of this, I have made the decision to no longer feature Hudson on Instagram, my tv shows or any social platforms until he is old enough to make this decision for himself.”

“Hudson’s father has made it clear via his public court filings he is using Instagram to rate the kind of parent I am, since that is the only access he has to my personal life,” Hall added, noting “This has been the case since July 2020.”

Hall — who said in her own response to Anstead’s latest filing that Hudson hasn’t appeared in an ad on her account since the issue was first raised this past April — called her ex’s judgment of her Instagram account as “unnecessary pressure for a platform that is supposed to be used to share moments chosen.”
