Tori Spelling's parenting choices are sometimes a bit controversial, but her latest seems to be the one that's attracting the loudest critics. On Thursday, Tori posted a video of herself twerking at what appears to be her son's basketball game, and though it's clear she's probably just having fun, commenters definitely aren't about to let this one go. It's a mom's job to embarrass her kids sometimes, but is Tori taking it a step too far?

Tori shared the video in a post on Instagram.
In the footage shown here, we can see Tori getting down on the basketball court while children are shooting balls in the basket right in front of her.
"Backing into the end of the week like …" she captioned the post.
She appears to be at some kind of children's play area.
Although at first glance it looks like Tori's on a basketball court at a legit game, this is likely a trampoline park (or something similar). The ground under Tori has a lot of give when she's dancing, so it seems that it's a bit squishy – and we can see actual trampolines in the background.
Still, some people took the opportunity to criticize the mom of five.
People wasted no time calling her out in the comments.
Although some people focused on how she must be embarrassing her kids by dancing like that in public, others thought it was just downright inappropriate.
"Other parents would get in trouble for acting this way around kids," one person wrote.
Another commenter added, "Please think about your kids and how inappropriate and embarrassing this is for them … please behave and act your age and like a parent … you do not need to be the center of attention all the time."
Others came to her defense.
To some of her other commenters, it was clear that Tori was just having fun.
One of Tori's fans wrote, "Dance like nobody's watching and enjoy life."
"Let her live and be happy!!! Who is anyone to say what's 'appropriate'?" another commenter asked.

Tori doesn't seem bothered by the hate.
Instead, she seems totally focused on something much more important: celebrating her son, Beau, turning 7 years old, which is a really big deal!
"Beau is my greatest teacher on this journey. Everyday I am surprised and impressed … things that those that understand me know are hard to do. He makes me laugh and learn and love hard thru it all," she wrote on Instagram alongside a slideshow of photos of her kiddo.
Happy birthday, Beau — and keep dancing, Tori. She was just having a little fun.
