10 Pro-Spanking Celebrity Parents

November 11, 2019 by watkinsT 9 Comments

Whether you’re a celebrity or not, when it comes to discipline every parent has their own method of what works best for their household. And, when spanking is involved many choose to stay mum on the controversial subject.

While feelings or positions change over time, these famous faces have taken a pro-spanking approach at some point in their lives.

1. Solange Knowles – In an interview with The Young Black and Fabulous Solange gave the mag her take on how she disciplines her son, Daniel. “If he gets completely out of line, I do the 3 steps. 1 is the look and talk; 2 is taking away something of value to him; 3, you need your butt popped. You don’t have to do it often, like twice or three times a year. And he remembers it.”

2. Tichina Arnold – The Martin actress posted a lengthy exposé about the subject of spanking entitled, “Why can’t we spank out kids?” In Arnold’s words, “I’ve got to be brutally honest here. I think it’s a shame that law enforcement can get away with beating your children and we as parents; CAN’T!… I do realize some people do things because they were abused and beaten. It is a vicious cycle. Where is that careful balance of love and chastisement?”

3. Madonna – The Material Girl hasn’t gone on record to verify that she spanks, but when her adopted son, David, got into trouble for riding on a horse when he wasn’t supposed to he revealed that his famous mom spanked him for it.

4. Pink – The vocal singer spoke out about spanking back in 2010, before she had her daughter, Willow. “I think the whole spanking thing and how it’s gotten all PC (politically correct) is for the birds. She says this style of discipline is what helped her through her rebellious years.

5. Nick Cannon – During an interview with US Weekly, Cannon said that he was prepared to spank his twins, Monroe and Moroccan, if they got out of line. He also told TMZ, about his approach compared to his ex-wife, Mariah Carey, “she doesn’t need to [spank], that’s what daddies are for. Spare the rod, spoil the child.”

6. Kate Gosselin – When In Touch magazine published photos of the mom of eight spanking her daughter, Leah, people, on both sides of the debate, weighed in their very strong opinions. Gosselin released a statement to Life & Style magazine. “Whether the paparazzi are there or not, I am a mother first. I love my children and when they misbehave, I discipline them as I deem appropriate for the situation.”

8. Martin Sheen – In a 2002 interview with TV Guide, the verteran actor and his son, Charlie Sheen, spoke candidly about their father/son relationship and Sheen admitted, “I got hit twice: just a spank on the bottom. So what?”

9. Shaunie O’ Neal – While Basketball Wives star Shaunie O’Neal says that ex-husband, Shaquille O’Neal, doesn’t spank their kids, she does. “I just firmly believe in instilling some sort of fear of mommy getting pissed,” the mom tells Momlogic.

10. Florence Henderson – TV’s favorite mom and Brady Bunch alum, Florence Henderson, once spoke to Pop Candies TV and revealed that she spanked her four kids on the behind. In an interview with Tinseltown Mom the late actress also said, “I admit that I have given my children a few taps on their tush. However, I think there are far better ways to handle a problem.”

11. Kelly Clarkson – The American Idol alum said she finds nothing wrong with spanking her daughter, River Rose, when it’s needed, but admits that she does warn her toddler before it takes place and that she doesn’t hit her hard. The singer told 98.9 The Buzz, “My parents spanked me, and I did fine in life, and I feel fine about it, but I do that as well…”

    Very interesting to hear their opinions on this topic which always excites some controversy! My Mom spanked me and my siblings on a number of occasions in childhood–it was always done in love, and I appreciate her for raising all of us well! I know we gave her a bit of trouble along the way.

    I feel that if spanking is done properly it is effective and appropriate. But it shouldn’t be done in anger. If other options don’t work and the child doesn’t respect parental authority, a healthy spanking is warranted. Otherwise the child becomes the authority in the home and it teaches the child not to have respect for those in positions of leadership and authority over him. It’s also Biblical to spank your child. The parent is instructed by God to train a child in the way he needs to go. If he isn’t taught to respect parents, he will not respect others in authority and positions of leadership in society, like teachers, police officers and government leaders. The Bible also says a child who is rebellious is a shame to it’s parents. They can also end up in prison. It’s better to follow God’s advice than man’s.

      Well, since the Bible says to physically discipline your children, you have nothing to say about it. You don’t like it, you don’t have to. But those of us who want to, we’re going to do it, you don’t like it, I don’t care. Don’t be telling us how to raise our children, and we won’t tell you to shut the h*** up. But since you commented and told us what to do, then I will tell you what to do. Keep quiet.

    I think the government should stay the h*** out of our business when we spank our children. We’re not killing them, we’re teaching them how to have respect. And spanking does not create violence in anybody if you do it right. You don’t need to spank anywhere but the butt. The Bible teaches that physical discipline on your children is right. And I will do it to this day. And God’s will comes before the government of any country. so I will follow God’s will above any law of this world and it’s a government ever place, especially America where we have a constitution that says we can raise our children any damn way we please. If the government don’t like it, I don’t give a d***, it’s none of their dang business. And all of these bleeding heart child’s rights activist can also shut the h*** up and stay the h*** out of our business. Maybe they need to have their butts paddled to knock some sense into their empty heads.

    If I see any of you douche bags hitting your kids, I’m going to beat the living sh-t out of you in front of your kids so they’ll have something to talk to their therapists with.
