Mom issues lengthy statement as man is fired after calling police on dad who took daughters into women's bathroom
The mother of the children who became the subjects of a viral TikTok video has spoken out against the father of her daughters, who posted it online.
A man from Mississippi originally went viral for calling the police on the father in question, with the incident unfolding at an Alabama QuikTrip gas station.
With millions of views, the majority of those online will have seen something about the clip, showing the dad, Tyler Brodsky, in the woman's bathroom with his two young daughters, being berated by a man on the phone who calls the police.
But the peculiar turn of events sparked an online discussion, as people were split over who was right and who was wrong.
The man who called the cops, a real estate agent, has officially lost his job after confronting the dad who didn't want to use the "dirty" men's room.
The children's mom speaks out
After TMZ reported that the man in question was sacked by his company despite not being on work time, as per a representative for Starkville-based Overstreet Properties, the children's mom took to Facebook.
She didn't agree with Brodsky's actions as the father of her kids, writing: “I actually don’t love this outcome, as the mother of those two girls.
“Even though their dad handled the situation well, what everyone doesn’t see is the fear a mother has seeing their kids exposed all over the media.
“Over 20 million people have seen my girls.
“Not just being kids exposed all over. I see their dad approaching the man that scared my girls just for the video.”
She even claimed that Brodsky would profit financially from the video's success, though he 'hasn't paid one penny' to support them in recent times.
“So many people have used this video.
“Every time I open my phone I see my 3-year-old daughter in tears. It destroys me every single time," she concluded.
A GoFundMe has been set up following the incident, with many praising the father for his actions.
The incident
The verbal altercation between Brodsky and the man caused the kids to burst into tears, as they can be heard crying as the argument took place.
A female employee at QuikTrip stepped in to close the restroom door on the man, apologizing to Brodsky's family.
The man did not give up, arguing to the female employee that she should have taken the girls to the restroom instead of their father, claiming he had “no business” being there.
He could be heard explaining: "There is a man with his two little girls using the women's bathroom. He is washing his hands with his daughters right now.
"[My wife] is waiting to use the restroom with her mother, who is very ill, who is on life support. He is refusing [to leave] and taking his sweet time."
Brodsky addressed the incident
The father took to TikTok in a follow-up video, revealing that while three police officers did turn up to the gas station, they told him he wasn't in any trouble.
He recalled: “The officers let me know I was OK, I didn’t do anything wrong,” adding that they told the other man to leave the convenience store.
Brodsky praised the officers and the QuikTrip employees for how they treated his daughters, adding: “Hopefully it’ll bring attention to people that feel the need to berate a mom or dad trying to take care of their kids.”
The father has since told The Post that he wouldn't get sucked into a public back-and-forth with the mother of his children.
