Model receives huge backlash after listing 117 reasons not to have kids

She's received a lot of hate

32-year-old, Ellie Gonsalves, completely divided the internet after sharing the post which resulted in a barrage of hatred towards the actress and model.

Speaking out about the hate, Ellie said: "I have already received hundreds of DMs criticising me, telling me how much of a horrible and broken person I am. But lots of these fears/thoughts ARE real.

"They resonate with not only me but with so many other women. A lot of them are small things that contribute towards a much bigger picture."

She added that the messages she received proved to her that some people are threatened when they see others living a different lifestyle to themselves.

She continued writing: "While some of those things on my list are satirical, many are serious and factual. Societal pressure when it comes to this topic are truly questionable and I believe unfair towards those with differing opinions."

Ellie's list of reasons not to have a child includes things such as: "They are your responsibility until you die" and "You are tired all the time."

Other reasons include: "Kids can be wildly embarrassing", "The world's already overpopulated" and "Kids can be rude."
