Before sharing this video of her son, Tarantola’s content focused on fashion and days out with her child. Her Instagram account, where she boasts 2,300 followers under the same handle, shows much the same. She began posting to TikTok in May of 2020, sharing her outfits, hauls, and clothing try-on videos.

Comments on the video itself have been turned off, but people have gone to various other videos on her account to let her know how they feel about it.

“Karen,” one called her on a previous video.

“Odd my two-year-old don’t be doing that,” one commenter wrote. “It’s definitely on her. Like at least apologize or get into him.”
