TikToker Bramty has responded to claims that she’s using her children for views on social media, after an analysis of one of her ‘prank’ videos went viral on Twitter.
Bramty is a TikToker with over 3.5 million followers, who documents the life of her family and her young children through videos that often end up garnering hundreds of thousands, or even millions of views.
She caught some backlash after she made a video with her son, in which she ‘pranked’ him by continuing to spray water on him to see his reaction.
Early childhood MH therapist Ryan Allen made a response video, analyzing the child’s reaction and emphasizing that “a child’s voice is more important than views,” in an additional comment underneath the video.
