In social media snapshots from the day, the reality star was seen toasting her friends, and receiving hugs and kisses from her closest pal, Baskin.
After seeing Hannah Ann's photos and videos from the day, people took to the internet with their angry reactions. See a few of them below.

me watching @HannahannSluss have a birthday party with her friends hugging, kissing, drinking, playing games, etc. on insta. You’re an influencer now like you shouldn’t be doing this stuff during quarantine it’s annoying for the rest of us https://t.co/lymBGb8Y29

At the same time, many of Hannah's dedicated fans defended her, insisting she only hung out with her friends who have been safely quarantined for the past month or so.
"I have seen a lot of people criticizing Hannah for having over her girlfriends for her birthday last night. All those girls who attended are people Hannah has been around all quarantine long. Maybe that doesn’t change anything for some or you who are just set on calling her out for anything they can," one fan page wrote on their Instagram Story. "But the reality is that she only invited people who she has been seeing regularly during this quarantine."
People seem pretty divided on Hannah Ann's bday bash, but a friendly reminder to all: stay home!
