Dolly Parton’s sister had a fierce response to Kid Rock’s claim that unattractive, ‘deranged’ liberal women are to blame for America’s low birth rates.
Stella Parton, 76, the country icon’s younger sister, called out Kid Rock for the bizarre assertion he made while chatting with Fox News’ Jesse Walters.
The 54-year-old ‘Cowboy’ singer told Fox Thursday night: ‘I was just watching your clips, and you know, we have this low birth rate in America, and it all made sense.
‘It just hit me right now because who’s gonna sleep with these ugly a**, broke, crazy, deranged, TDS (Trump derangement syndrome) liberal women?’
He added that liberal rallies are made up of ‘bunch of women that no guy wants to sleep with and a bunch of dudes that want to sleep with each other.’
On Saturday, Stella shared her reaction to his brazen stance – throwing a dig at the Trump-loving singer.
‘Liberal women don’t sleep with stinky, nasty, dirty, poor hygienic, man babies who whine and disrespect them. They marry and sleep with real men!’ she blasted on X.
Stella, a country artist herself, has been vocal about her distain towards Donald Trump, who Kid Rock has fostered a close friendship with.

Her X account is filled with anti-Trump sentiments, claiming she has ‘no respect for MAGAs’ in one post and declaring there is ‘no truth’ in Truth Social in another.
Stella’s attack on Kid Rock came after his statements already unleashed a slew of backlash, with people tearing into the outspoken conservative online.
‘He’s ugly af himself. I’m not sure he’s the guy to be calling people ugly lol,’ one X user wrote.
‘I guess he doesn’t own a mirror,’ echoed another, as one questioned: ‘Who would like to sleep with him? Good God.’
‘Where is he going with that? If that’s his reason for a low birth rate -doesn’t say much for the conservative women because liberal women aren’t the only ones who can have children. Don’t think Kid Rock is exactly the birth rate expert,’ one wrote.
Another asked: ‘Doesn’t Kid Rock only have one kid?’
Kid Rock has one son, Bobby Jr., 31, who he shares with his ex Kelley South Russell.
General fertility rates in the US have fallen precipitously since the post-World War II baby boom, with fewer women than ever are having babies in America.
Provisional CDC data show births rose in 2024 by just a fraction of a percent from 2023’s record low, fueling concerns about an aging population, strained social programs, and slower workforce and economic growth.
Trump, concerned about eroding ‘family values,’ has floated policies to encourage more people to have children, including tax incentives for parents, paid family leave, and child subsidies.

White House aides are preparing a report to be released by mid-May, which will recommend ways to make in vitro fertilization more accessible to couples.
About 3.62 million babies were born in 2024 – up just one percent from 3.59 million in 2023. The fertility rate was 54.6 births per 1,000 women between 15 and 44 years old, a less than one percent increase from 2023.
This halted the steady two percent annual decline seen from 2014 to 2020 before leveling off.
Still, the rate remains low and is not enough to reverse years of steady decline.
The latest numbers suggest a possible turnaround, but experts warn America’s birth rate is still far below what’s needed to sustain long-term population growth.
Experts have pointed to a variety of factors to explain birth rate declines, including less women under 30 getting pregnant.
But this does account less teen pregnancies, which Dr. Karen Benjamin Guzzo, director of the Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina, declared a win.
‘The United States has always had much higher rates of teen and unplanned pregnancies than other countries,’ she told CBS.

‘This is a success story… that people are able to avoid having births early on, when they themselves would say, “This is not the right time for me.”‘
Dr. Kenneth M. Johnson, a senior demographer at the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire, specifically discussed trends among women aged 20 to 29.
He said women seem to be delaying marriage and when they want to have kids.
‘In a sense, it’s just pushing everything further out,’ he told CBS. ‘What’s coming to appear is that a lot of these babies are just going to be forgone entirely. They’re not going to be born.’
