Ant Anstead has shown his concern about his son’s well-being, as he implied that Christina Haack is “exploiting” their son. 43-year-old Anstead accused his ex-wife, Christina Haack of “exploiting” their 2-year-old son, Hudson, while their custody battle is still on.

According to a court document obtained by Us Weekly on Tuesday, September 27, Ant Anstead alleged that Christina Haack was using their son for her “personal gains.” He claimed that the “risks” of exposing their son to work on a television production set will have bad effects.

The dad-of-three continued his claim by stating the pressures associated with working with a TV set will be too much for children. He continued by saying that “children involved in television production often have lingering issues that affect their welfare…” Anstead explained that these effects are long-lasting and they will affect the child in the long run.

The Master Mechanic star expressed his goal, which is to make his son have a normal childhood and be comfortable.  Ant Anstead doesn’t want anything that will jeopardize his son’s self-esteem in the future. He feels that his son’s comfort should be prioritized above “creating commercial opportunity and content.”

Anstead also went ahead to cite the example of former Toddlers and Tiaras star Kailia Posey, who committed suicide. He claimed that was an example of those “lingering effects” that might occur for his son if he continues to be on Haack’s Tv production set. He had urged the courts to take note of these effects that might happen to his son.

Is Christina Haack Truly Exploiting Little Hudson?

The reality star had refuted Anstead’s claims, as she said the claims were untrue and very offensive to her. In the court documents  Page Six obtained, 39-year-old Christina Haack claimed she had not “exploited” their son in any way. She shared that he only appeared in a few of her “Instagram ads” which were not stressful to shoot.

The star mom continued by explaining that it was short, and Hudson enjoyed doing all the fun activities. Haack claimed that Anstead was just using these allegations to smear her “publicly” because “nothing was forced” on their son.
