Heather's post stated: "We saw @gwenstefani last night and she rocked it 😍👏🏻 Had so much fun dancing and singing, it brought us back to our younger years 🙌🏻🔥 Last night’s fun was definitely worth the exhausting morning!!" 

However, Heather was slammed by several fans who critiqued her insensitive choice to wear lambskin leather, despite herself being an advocate of animal rights.

One user asked, "Why are you wearing lambskin leather if you're vegan?", while another user commented, "Lambskin Leather Made in China. So you don't eat animals but you wear their skins. What would PETA say?" 

One user wrote, "Disgusting to wear animal skins." 

Another user was shocked, "Lamb skin leather?? " 

One user remarked, "They are made of genuine lambskin, in China. You know how many lambs were slaughtered so she could wear that outfit? She doesn't eat animals but wears their skins instead even though she represents PETA. Shoes, handbags, leather pants and corsets are all real leather." 

Another user asked, "Are those pants vegan? If not, you're a hypocrite. Vegans don't use, eat or wear animals!"

Is Heather Rae El Moussa coming back to Netflix's 'Selling Sunset' season 7?

Heather was reportedly on maternity leave during the filming of Netflix's 'Selling Sunset' season 7 and therefore couldn't join the show during the initial production process.

Heather further added that she hadn't heard back from the producers of the show and had no clue whether she would be called back. She disclosed that it was indeed 'frustrating' to be in the dark, especially since she has been a part of the show ever since its pilot episode.
