Cinderella called, she wants her “evil stepmother” back.

One woman has been dubbed as an “evil stepmother” for asking social media users to edit her young stepson out of images from a family photo session.

On Sunday, a screenshot of a Facebook post detailing the woman’s request hit Reddit and quickly went viral, receiving over 67,000 upvotes and 2,100 comments.

The original post consisted of three photos from an outdoor portrait session, featuring the woman, her husband and their three children. They were all dressed in matching buffalo plaid shirts and jeans, posing in a field.

In two of the pictures, the woman closely-held her apparently biological, toddler-aged children close, while an older, brown-haired boy was seated away to the right. Which already looked weird.

In the third image, the parents and children seemed to be one big happy family — apparently that wasn’t the case.

Though the mother’s identity remains unknown, the Daily Mail reports that the pictures appear to have been shared in a photography-interest Facebook group.

“Is there any way y’all could remove the kid to the right in these pictures? He’s my stepson and I love these pictures of us together but I also didn’t get any good ones with just [my] two without him,” the sinister woman wrote online. “Also remove him from the full family pictures please. Thanks in advance.”

You know Reddit users, they tell it like it is. They blasted the woman and she then added a disclaimer saying, “I love my stepson, but I do want some without him.”

“I already posted these ones but I just want to have it both ways,” she said.

The Reddit community was disgusted with the woman’s request, likening her to a “movie trope-level evil stepmother.” Some deemed her as a “cruel” and “awful” person to isolate her husband’s child from a previous relationship in such a way.

“This genuinely made me sad. Imagine how that child felt. I bet he noticed he wasn’t included like the other two,” one user wrote.

“I’ve been that kid and I can tell you that he knows, it’s not a good feeling, and it creates a toxic environment,” another agreed.

“As a step-mother this breaks my heart. It is my job to make sure my step-daughter knows she is loved as much as I love my son,” one offered.

One Redditor came forward and claimed to have been in the original Facebook group the stepmother originally pitched her plea in, sharing a little context.

“I was in the group she originally posted this. No one wanted to do the edits for her and they all just trolled her. Putting Cinderella’s evil step mother over her face and other stuff,” the user shared. “When you become a step parent you take that child in as your own. How incredibly sad.”
