10 Parents Embarrassing Their Celebrity Kids On Social Media

While celebrities are often praised for their social media presence (think: Rihanna's now-defunct Instagram or Lil B's self-affirming Twitter account), sometimes the real social media stars are their parents. From painful dad jokes to @NormalTweetGuy-style observations, these ten parents of celebrities have delightful social media accounts and prove once and for all that just because you're Drake, that doesn't mean your dad doesn't embarrass you in front of your friends (and followers).

Seth Rogen's Mom, Sandy Rogen: (Twitter: @RogenSandy)


Sandy's Twitter is mostly typical mom questions about how to properly use technology with a splash of the off-color humor we assume Seth Rogen inherited from her. She seems pretty confused about how exactly to use Twitter, but that's what makes it so endearing.

Drake's Dad, Dennis Graham (Instagram: @therealdennisg)


While his son is busy singing about lost love it's pretty obvious that Drake's dad is the one getting all the ladies -- at least if his Instagram is any indication. It's mostly a mixture of pictures of girls, regrams of weird fan art (a lot of which depicts his son's on-off relationship with Rihanna) and the occasional snap of his impressive 'stache.

Zayn Malik's Mom, Trisha Malik (Twitter: @TrishMalik)


This mom just wants everyone to have a nice day, a happy birthday, and for Simon to be on The X-Factor.

Embarrassment Level: 3

Ariana Grande's Mom, Joan Grande (Twitter: @joangrande)


Joan is the the Twitter equivalent of that mom that likes every picture you're tagged in on Facebook. She chronically RTs her son Frankie in his quest for YouTube fame and gushes about how much she loves Ariana.

The Jonas Brothers' Dad, Paul Kevin Jonas Sr., AKA "Grand Papa Jonas" (Twitter: @PapaJonas)
 

The patriarch of the Jonas clan is basically the male equivalent of Ariana Grande's mom: he does tons of retweets and blind promotion for his children but occasionally you get a rare glimpses of personality. But if you ever want to know what's happening to any of the Jo-Bros this is probably your best resource.

Grimes' Mom, Sandy Garossino (Twitter: @Garossino)


It's hard to imagine Grimes growing up around anyone who puts "businessperson" first in their Twitter bio, but maybe weirder things have happened? If you care about Vancouver politics she's worth following, and even if you don't you'll at least understand where Grimes got her politics from.

Embarrassment Level: 2

Miley Cyrus' Mom, Tish Cyrus (Twitter: @TishCyrus)


Miley Cyrus' mom just really loves horses, ya'll! Most of her tweets are a reminder that before Miley Cyrus starting licking hammers she was just a country girl living in a country world.

Embarrassment Level: 2

Lana Del Rey's Dad, Rob Grant (Twitter: @RobGrantDotCom)
 

While LDR is often characterized as the epitome of cool, her dad is basically the definition of dadcore. From giving himself a cheesy nickname -- Robster, obviously -- to excitedly tweeting about his daughters Lana and Chuck, he is just such a dad. But he likes Meredith Graves of Perfect Pussy, so he's probably a ~cool dad~.

Embarrassment Level: 8

Iggy Azalea's Dad, Brendan Kelly (Twitter: @inkcream)
 


 

Iggy Azalea might get her, um, eccentric nature from her father. He mostly just posts his illustrations on Twitter, but if the above video of him reading his book entitled "The Runt Who Said C#nt" is any indication, he seems like an interesting person to be around -- to say the least.

Embarrassment Level: 10

Kim Kardashian's Mom, Kris Jenner (Instagram: @KrisJenner)


Of course we couldn't leave off the woman who's made a career out of being a mom to some celebrity children -- and posting incredible throwback pics.
