She and hubby Eric Decker tied the knot in front of viewers on their E! reality show Eric & Jessie: Game On which ran from 2013 to 2017.

Jessie is known for letting it all hang out on social media which, of course, means people are always quick to judge the 32-year-old.

Remember when she posted a picture in her underwear a couple months ago and everyone lost their minds?!

Now, Jessie is facing backlash after posting pictures from her 5-year-old son's birthday party this past weekend.

"We had the best day celebrating Bubby’s 5th birthday! So grateful for such wonderful friends who celebrated with us!! Bubby had the time of his life!!!" she captioned the photo series.

While many fans were supportive of the party, others were concerned about the lack of social distancing and face masks at this party.

"No pandemic there anymore?" commented Instagram user @mias79.

"Looks like a superspreader event!" echoed @taranmccaskill.

@heather.mctighe chimed in, "This is disturbing to see people with no masks. This is why this continues."

Seeing the negative feedback, Jessie responded to user @mias79, Jessie wrote: "I understand your concern. We’ve been very careful. This small group of children celebrating Bubby are already in the same class at school so we are around each other all the time already."
