Whitney Leavitt Defends Career Amidst Mom Shaming

Whitney Leavitt has addressed public scrutiny surrounding her pursuit of career goals while being a mother. In a recent clarification, Leavitt stated that she believes women should always be encouraged to fulfill their dreams, deeming the contrary perspective "crazy." This statement came after her husband, Conner Leavitt, expressed pride in their approach to co-parenting their three children.

Leavitt's comments followed a discussion on "The Viall Files" podcast where hosts questioned how she manages her commitments, including an upcoming Broadway role in Chicago and past appearances like "Dancing With the Stars," alongside raising her children. The podcast hosts faced backlash for their remarks, which some perceived as not fully supporting Leavitt's ambition.

Conner Leavitt shared a supportive message on social media, captioned "Teamwork looks different for everyone," underscoring his active role in their family's life. The exchange highlights ongoing public discourse about balancing professional aspirations with parental responsibilities. This situation also revisits past tension between Whitney Leavitt and podcast host Nick Viall from a previous reunion special.
