In her follow-up video, Mama Tot stated, "I have been on this app since 2020, and I've loved on people the entire time. Not one time have I ever used my platform for politics or for any of that stuff." She attempted to distance herself from the political implications of her earlier post, emphasizing her intent to spread positivity rather than engage in political discourse, which many of her followers found disingenuous.
Despite her past advocacy for progressive causes, Mama Tot faced a significant backlash for her right-leaning views and conspiracy theory promotion. Reports indicated a massive loss of followers, roughly 200,000 within days, signaling that her audience is divided on her credibility as an influencer.
The liberty of spreading such unfounded conspiracy theories has raised questions about influencer responsibility, especially as it relates to public communication during crises. Community reactions suggest a growing wariness of influencers who deviate from mainstream narratives during urgent disasters.
