A video of a homophobic woman has gone viral after she slapped a young boy learning a popular TikTok dance routine with his sister. The clip, which was initially posted on Instagram Stories, has garnered more than eight million views on Twitter.

In the seven-second social media video, the woman, whose identity has not been revealed, can be seen slapping the child, Brandon, from behind the camera. She was also heard saying, “You don’t do that s**t! F**k wrong with you? Gay a** b***h!” The video was captioned as: “Had to slap blxxd this not it.”

Though several homophobic people praised the woman for hitting the boy, some people criticized it and mistakenly thought the woman slapping the child was his mother. “It’s like some parents would rather their son grow up traumatized than feminine. She has such a toxic idea of what masculinity is that she wants to enforce it on him at that young of an age. Like he’s a kid let him dance,” one person tweeted.

Another wrote: “What’s funny? it’s literally child abuse... I hate toxic parents then they get all mad when their child grows up and distance themselves from them.” “This isn’t funny. it’s sad. that the poor boy can’t do a TikTok dance without having hands put on him for being “too feminine” and being called out of his name. I’m begging..don’t have kids if you aren’t fit to properly care for them,” said a third one.

However, soon Brandon’s mother, whose name has not been revealed, clarified their doubts and said that the woman who slapped his son was a babysitter, who has since been reported to the police.

In a follow-up video, the mother said: “I am his mother and I am not the one who was behind the camera. Everybody thinks it’s me and was saying negative things about me, but I’m not worried about that. My son is fine and he is being loved right.”

Continuing further, she explained, “I didn’t find out what happened until two or three days after the video was made when my son’s godmother told me about this [going viral]. I didn’t know what to do… I was not home at the time, my son never told me about this, but it is being handled, and the law is involved. It’s something I’ve got to deal with.”

The godmother of the boy, whose age is not known, also spoke up against the nanny’s bullying and said in the video, “This person was supposed to be babysitting. Mom wasn’t aware of what happened until I showed her this. My godson comes from a loving home and whether he’s gay or not we love him regardless. The cops are already involved and his mom is gonna be holding the person accountable. We always let him be himself. His mom thought she could trust this person to watch them for 10mins and this happened.”

“I went to check on him and his mom today and they are doing fine. The person who did this is gonna be turning themselves into police custody tonight,” the godmother, whose identity is also not known, added in the video.
