A beauty vlogger has been slammed on social media after claiming to have "beat the cr*p" out of her two-year-old daughter for ruining her makeup palette.
In a video she uploaded to her channel, called My Toddler Ruined My JSC Alien Palette | Now I’m sad…, YouTuber Michelle Grace proceeded to tell her audience that her toddler had ruined two of her eye shadow palettes.
Check out the controversial video below:"Y'all hear that right?" Michelle, 23, asked in the video. "My 2-year-old just got her a** beat because no matter how many times I tell her not to mess with my makeup, she never f***ing listens. I put it away so that she can't find it, and what does she do? She finds it."
"At this point, I need a frickin' safe with a combination on it to keep her out of it. She has ruined two palettes of mine and one of them is being discontinued. One second, my hand hurts. 'Cause I just beat the cr*p out of her. Not literally, but I taught her a lesson. Because I'll be damned if she's gonna walk all over me [sic]."
Check out this other controversial social media moment. This is the moment rapper YG asks his three-year-old daughter to smell a bag of weed:Meanwhile, Michelle's daughter can be heard crying the background.
"And I know a lot of parents might not agree with me," Grace continues. "But I don't normally — I don't normally spank my child, unless I really have to, and usually, it's just a pop. And it barely hurts. She cries for like, five seconds."
While the original video has since been deleted from her official channel, the content has been reuploaded on other YouTube channels and elsewhere on the internet.
Unsurprisingly, the video was met with fierce backlash online, with many social media users condemning Michelle's "abusive" behavior towards the youngster.
One user tweeted: "My kid was throwing all kinds of sh*t at me (playfully, it was a game to her) and destroying the house when she was two. Know what I didn’t do? Hit her. Because why? SHE WAS TWO BUT ALSO EVEN IF SHE WAS 15 SHE DOESN’T DESERVE TO BE PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED!!!!!! [sic]"
Another added: "Don’t hit/pop/spank your kid. There is never a reason to strike a child. Teaching them to fear you isn’t parenting. You’re normalizing violence. Stop. Learn and do better."
Michelle has since responded to the criticism with a lengthy statement posted on Twitter.
"What I did should have never been done," she began. "I acted out of emotions and had a lapse in judgment. That being said, I’m truly sorry if it all came off the wrong way. It was [a] poor choice of words and I admit that."
The incident has led to a Change.org petition being set up to have Michelle removed from YouTube.
