The 15 most controversial mothers in Hollywood (With Pictures)

5. Tan Mom

Just as everyone else in the world was starting to see how ridiculous the tanning craze had become, Patricia Krentcil was earning herself the nickname “Tan Mom.” In 2012, she was accused of bringing her 5-year-old to a tanning salon. Since the world was seeing celebrities like the cast of the Jersey Shore as more and more ludicrous, having a mother bring a little girl to sit under harmful UV lights was more than they could take. One look at this leathery-faced woman, and the nickname became permanent. Not only did people worry about what kind of mother she was being to her daughter, but they started worrying about her own mental health.
