A woman has clapped back at online users who have criticized her for having 11 children with eight different men.

Phi from Tennesee, who goes by the handle @phieudoraa on TikTok, earned viral fame after sharing a glimpse into her unconventional family life.

In a video back in August that amassed over 3 million views and 143.3K likes, Phi argued there were actually advantages to having so many fathers for her little ones.

"Let me explain it. If you have one and you take away one, you have zero but if you have eight and you take away three, you still have five," she explained.

However many viewers were less than impressed with the TikToker and took to the comments section to express their opinion on her massive brood.

One user wrote: "Once is a mistake. Twice is a choice. After that, it’s a habit."

Another said: "[Having] 8 baby daddies is a crime."

A third commented: "the real question is how baby daddy number 6,7, and 8 allowed themselves to be number 6,7, and 8 I could never."

A fourth user joked: "Bro they ain’t Pokémon. You don’t gotta catch them all."

Phi, who is seemingly unfazed by the hate comments, is often forced to defend her decision to have so many babies against online trolls.

When one commenter alleged that she chose to have so many kids because she "doesn't want to work," she replied by sharing a video of alleged court papers that show she is only earning $10 per month in child support.

Also, when someone asked her how many more kids she plans on having, she said she wants to have "another 19 just so I could make it even, 30".

In the same video, she jokingly revealed how she finds her baby daddies, saying: "I used to use Craigslist but that's kind of played out now, so I usually post on [Facebook] Marketplace. Or if I see an empty billboard I'll post an ad up there".

In addition to this, when a user wrote that her children were distressed by her parenting choices, the mother-of-11 clapped back by posting a video of them having fun, and enjoying quality time together.

Regardless, the mother shared that she has a good relationship with the fathers of her kids and even revealed some of their social media handles in one of her videos.
