Hannah Neeleman defends herself against "attack" in recent profile, speaks out on 'Tradwife' label

Social media influencer Hannah Neeleman, known for her Ballerina Farm brand, is speaking out after a recent profile in The Sunday Times drew negative attention to her family and lifestyle choices. In an Instagram video, Neeleman called the article an "attack" on her family and marriage, claiming it portrayed her as "oppressed" by her husband.

The article, titled "Meet the queen of the 'trad wives' (and her eight children)," delved into Neeleman's life as a mother, wife, and entrepreneur on a 328-acre farm in Utah. While Neeleman expressed to the Times that she doesn't identify with the "traditional woman" label, the article sparked a conversation about the "tradwife" movement and its implications for gender roles and equality.
 

Neeleman defended her lifestyle, emphasizing that she and her husband are co-parents and co-CEOs of their farm-based business. She stated they are not done having children and have many dreams yet to accomplish.

In a follow-up Instagram post, Neeleman encouraged her followers to read "our story in my own words" on the Ballerina Farms website, where she shares her perspective on motherhood, family life, and entrepreneurship.
