Controversial influencer Sophie Guidolin is slammed for posing in a G-string bikini in front of her 13 year old son: 'The last thing I'd want to see is my mum in a thong'

Sophie Guidolin has been slammed by her own fans for sharing a video of herself posing in a bikini in front of her 13-year-old son. 

The fitness influencer, 34, took to Instagram on Saturday with a clip of herself rehearsing for a bodybuilding competition at home when her teenage son walked in the room. 

In the footage, the mother-of-four was seen smiling widely and flexing her muscles in a red jewel-encrusted bikini. 

When her son walked in and attempted to dodge around her, Sophie refused to move and instead continued to hold her pose for the camera. 

'POV: Your mama is an IFBB [International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation] Bikini Pro', Sophie wrote on top of the clip.

In her caption, the brunette added: 'Lol remember when the media tried to shame me for wearing a bikini in front of my son… forgetting I was an IFBB Bikini Pro and I do this as a sport.

'My son doesn't sexualise my body so why do others? This, my friends, is 13 years of hard work,' she boasted. 

However not all of Sophie's followers agreed with her attitude, with one commenting: 'I promise you it's weird.'

'The last thing I'd want to see is my mum in a thong, let alone let alone doing it to post on social media saying how I'm ok with it and all my friends see it,' they added. 

Another naysayer added: ''It's one thing wearing your bikini/ thong on stage during a competition. I think it's another thing parading/posing in it around your house. 

'You don't wear a business suit at home on the weekends, right? I just don't think it's necessary. But you look great regardless,' they added.

The user responded by arguing that Sophie could just as well practice her posing while wearing activewear rather than a G-string bikini. 

However there were plenty of fans who defended Sophie, with one commenting: 'Your son is clearly very inspired by you. Why do people have to make it weird when it's obviously not?' 

Others praised Sophie for her incredible physique, with one writing: 'All I can see is hard work and dedication. Your son would be proud.' 

'You're incredible! Love you and following your journey!' another agreed.

This is not the first time Sophie has faced backlash for posing in a bikini alongside her son.

Back in 2022, she attracted criticism when she shared a photo of herself hugging her other teenage son, then 15, while wearing a skimpy G-string bikini on Instagram.

Speaking on Sunrise, Kai said he was 'so confused' by the furore and 'didn't even have a second thought' when he posed for the photo.

'It's just normal now and I don't get how people can't understand that,' he added.

Sophie was forced to amend her Instagram caption to address the backlash after sharing the photo in honour of Kai's 15th birthday.

'WE LIVE IN THE GOLD COAST, Australia. Where wearing a bikini to the beach is so beyond normal, that I didn't even consider having to place a disclaimer on this photo,' she wrote.

'When Kai woke up, I was in the pool and yes - in a bikini (as I am most days!!!). I wanted a photo straight away as he wanted to ride his bike and go out riding all day immediately.

'Do I have a problem wearing a bikini in front of my sons? NO WAY. Why? Because I'm not sexualised to him, nor have I ever been!!!

'If you have an issue, maybe you should look into why you feel you have to sexualise a woman's body instead of it simply being a mum and her son at the pool!!!'
