It’s been a ruff 24 hours forPaola Mayfield!
On Sunday, the90 Day Fiancéstarposted a photo to Instagramwhere she sat on the front step outside of her home alongside her and husbandRuss Mayfield’spet dog, Phoebe.
Though Mayfield, 31 — who wore a strapless, black mini dress and white converse — has recentlybeen criticized for being too sexy and also for having bleached hairon social media, it wasn’t her appearance that her followers were preoccupied with. Instead, some people starting calling out the reality star for owning a pit bull while being pregnant.
“I’ve owned pit bulls, fostered them, and volunteered with them. They are not safe, especially for children. And they were NEVER ‘nanny dogs,'” added another fan. “If you cared about your child, you wouldn’t have a pit in your home. So many mothers said the same thing as you, ‘all it takes is love and you can erase genetics.’ And they are shocked when their pit snapped.”

“thank you… it is ok and I wouldn’t block you for that,” she responded back. “my dog isn’t a pit bull she is a hound mix and she is the sweetest dog.”
She later posted a video to her Instagram Stories of Phoebe, whom sherescued as a 3-month-old puppy, as they went out for a walk. “My sweet dog,” she wrote underneath the exploring pup.

Mayfield’s fans later jumped to her defense and criticized the people who claimed her dog was unsafe to be around as an expecting mother.
“what an ignorant comment. I own a pit bull i have for years and he is the sweetest dog I’ve ever had,” added another fan. “Any dog is capable of attacking and killing someone, it’s the owners who raise them. Pitbulls aren’t born evil, their owners make them that way.”
This is not the first time that Mayfield has clapped back at her followers.
