Patsy Kensit, 55, has defended her eldest child James Kerr against “****holes” who think he has “not grafted” for jobs.
The 29-year-old son of Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr was pictured smiling alongside his actress mother yesterday at the Emirates Stadium where he had directed “live footage of the mighty Artic Monkeys”.
In a post uploaded to her Instagram Patsy typed: “So proud of you Son. What an amazing show.
“And for any ****holes who think my son hasn’t grafted for nearly 15 years.
“No help from his dad or I can do one. He’s worked his **se off and he has the respect and love of so many people he works for and with.
“You are the love of my life darling. So so proud,” she added.
In response, her fans agreed as one said “parents can only get you so far”.
A second commented: “Why wouldn’t you help your kids? Nothing wrong with that, but when they work hard they should be celebrated.”
A third added: “I think it must be even harder for celebrity families to make their own way in the world, there’s always going to be comparison and judgement. It’s ultimately nobody else’s business. Their problem.”
A fourth remarked: “Why shouldn’t parents help their kids, I do all of the time! Well done.”
Patsy first got married at the age of 22 in 1988 to Big Audio Dynamite star Dan Donovan, divorcing in 1991.
Her second marriage was to Simple Minds’ Jim whom she shares son James between 1992 and 1996, before going on to marry Oasis’s Liam Gallagher, the father of her second son Lennon, from 1997 until 2000 and DJ Jeremy Healy from 2009 until 2010.
Patsy has revealed that she only counts the fathers of her children as her “significant” marriages, after tying the knot with everyone she dated.
She told Postcards From Midlife Podcast: “Well, I married all my boyfriends, so … that was something that I’ve learned I needn’t do.”
Patsy added: “I can’t change the rules of the law… [but] I was with Jim, and Lennon’s dad for years, so I kind of count them as my two marriages.
“I know that’s not allowed, I know there was a ceremony. But I feel that those were the really significant relationships and very, very deep and wonderful in so many ways.”
Patsy is now engaged to millionaire Patric Cassidy and her sons have now both left home.
The Lethal Weapon 2 star admitted to struggling with “empty nest syndrome” since her sons moved out.
