Carrie Underwood receives overwhelming support from fans after being bashed by the media
The 35-year-old singer and songwriter, Carrie Underwood, angered readers with a recent comment but her fans were quick to rally behind her.
Underwood said in the latest issue of "Redbook" - which will be available in stores from September - that she missed her chance to have another baby. Sadly, her words were twisted.
While many took her statement to mean that women in their mid-thirties or older cannot have children, a Twitter user known an SJ Floyd said she was merely "expressing what is right" for her.

Some people don't want to be in their 50's and 60's when their children are in their teens or twenties-she was expressing what is right for them-don't be so sensitive ladies-its not all about you- Carrie Underwood Catches Heat for Comment About Fertility https://t.co/xr5NaPnr1K

If you're upset about the statements @carrieunderwood made about fertility, you're part of the problem here in the states. Why get upset about something so trivial? I'm trying to have a kid at 43 and I don't mind what she said. Leave her alone for crying out loud..

Floyd added that readers shouldn't be so sensitive, and said not everyone wants to be raising a teenager when they are approaching their fifties or sixties.
A user known only as Caroline wanted to know why Underwood was even receiving all the negative press in the first place. She added:
"You aren’t her doctor; you don’t know if she has a medical condition that makes it hard for her to have kids."

#reporting is "look at nasty comments, claim that's what #fans think."

That's not reporting. Internet comments show how awful people are. #CarrieUnderwood is right about it. 5 years is not long.

Robby succinctly pointed out that all those who took issue with Underwood's statement is "part of the problem." He added:
"I'm trying to have a kid at 43, and I don't mind what she said"
Christina Taft said merely showcasing the negative comments without the positive is not reporting.

She never said she definitively couldn't. She said: I’m 35, so we may have missed our chance to have a big family.

Since fertility DOES decrease as women age, this is just TRUE. She MAY have missed that chance. @carrieunderwood you do what's best for your family. Best wishes.
Dwayne Todd said Underwood wasn't "writing a fertility column offering advice," she was only speaking from a personal point of view, and that should be respected.
Sadly, many have misconstrued Underwood's personal experience and saw it as a statement that all women above 35 cannot have children.
Maybe next time she'll think before she speaks? Parents are furious with Carrie Underwood for her comments about fertility after 35 years old https://t.co/gwmCicIPpE pic.twitter.com/ZW5qA3lcoQ
