Harry Hamlin Criticized For ‘Creepy,’ ‘Intimate’ Photo With Daughter Delilah Belle Hamlin

Harry Hamlin and his daughter Delilah Belle Hamlin sparked criticism on social media after a “weird” photo surfaced on Instagram this week.

The photo, taken during New York Fashion Week in September, shows the actor, 70, posing with Delilah Belle, 24. Harry is holding his daughter’s waist and appears to have his nose pressed against her cheek. 

Social media users have expressed their disgust with the pose. Instagram user @iliveforbravo posted the photo and wrote “this is not how I pose with my dad.”

The picture has drawn some speculation about other problems in the Real Housewives family.

In November 2021, Delilah Belle revealed in an Instagram video that she’d been dealing with drug dependency after being “overprescribed” Xanax. Since then, she’s used Instagram to update fans about her treatment.

“No wonder Delilah has had emotional issues and broke down on social media,” one user tweeted in response to the photo, while one said, “No wonder Delilah needs therapy.” Another fan wrote, “Please don’t tell me this is the reason she has to take Xanax.” 

Many responded in disbelief to the photo, saying the pose was “obviously photoshopped,” although other photos from the same event at 99 Scott Studio also show the father-daughter duo posing intimately.

Some fans see no issue with their body language. One Twitter user told critics to “get a life,” and said, “he’s actually showing his love for his daughter. I’m sure he’s very very proud of her.”
