TikToker Defends Husband After He Packed Dog Food in Her Lunchbox

by

One viral TikTok has inspired a teaching moment.

A few days after social media personality Kaitlyn Teaches shared a video of unboxing her husband’s lunch containing a bag of dog food, labeled “Because you’re my dawg,” along with somewhat stale Chipotle, she responded to the significant criticism they faced due to their harmless prank.

In a TikTok video posted on September 2nd, Kaitlyn shared an explanation about her weekend events. To be precise, approximately 30 million people have viewed the video showing her unpacking the lunches and dog food that her husband had prepared for her, with more views coming from posts on other platforms as well.

She added, “A large portion of you found it dislikable, with roughly 3 out of every 4 people expressing disapproval. You described it as appalling, dreadful, and the most distressing event anyone has ever experienced.

But the way she sees it, the situation was just completely misunderstood.

The influencer clarified that people seem overly sensitive because her husband referred to her as ‘a dog’. However, she emphasized, he actually said ‘D-O-G’, not implying any negative connotation.

I clarified that he didn’t use a specific term to address me, instead using the colloquial expression ‘Dawg,’ which is American slang for friend or homie amongst us. I wanted to emphasize it was all in good fun, just a lighthearted jest, if you will – J-O-K-E.

Besides the initial act of putting the kibble in her lunch box, people found it off-putting that it was positioned so closely to her other food items.

She emphasized that he placed the dog food in a bag to keep it away from her meal. Pulling out the bag, she pointed out that the item had been added at the last minute since it was located at the bottom. She also mentioned that he tried to conceal it beneath the Chipotle, hoping to create a surprise as he found humor in the situation.

Emphasizing further that her sister had indeed participated in the prank planning, Kaitlyn made it clear that she found the joke amusing. Subsequently, she proceeded to engage in a conversation about another subject raised in the comments of the original video: the now two-day-old Chipotle meal.

From a teacher’s perspective, some days can feel as long as a week,” she expressed, hinting at the fact that those remaining meals were indeed from the previous evening. “Each day, it seems like all I have in my plate are rice, steak, and beans.

Despite her “teacher mind” potentially causing a mix-up about the correct age of the Chipotle, she was adamant in making it known that her husband’s actions were not malicious in any way.

She found the dog food unexpectedly delightful, making her chuckle,” she summarized. “Thanks for the mix of affection and dislike; it all brings about the same amusement in me.

In 2023, Colleen Ballinger, the real person behind the YouTube character Miranda Sings, encountered serious allegations. These accusations revolved around grooming and forming inappropriate relationships with underage fans. The claims were initially brought up by a YouTuber named KodeeRants in a June video titled “why I left the colleen ballinger fandom…”. This video included screenshots of an alleged text exchange between Colleen and her followers, which suggested that she was forming exploitative relationships with underage fans.

A group text chat, allegedly named “Colleeny’s Weenies”, was mentioned in these screenshots. In one conversation, it was claimed that Colleen asked her fans about their “favorite position”. However, NBC News could not verify the authenticity of these screenshots.

Shortly after, another content creator named Adam McIntyre, who used to run a fan account for Miranda Sings when he was just 10, posted videos on his own YouTube channel, accusing Ballinger of emotionally grooming her fans.

Ballinger has not yet directly responded to these claims, nor did she respond to TopMob News’ request for comment. However, on June 28, she addressed the accusations in a 10-minute ukulele song posted to her personal YouTube account. In this video, Ballinger likened the allegations to a “toxic gossip train” headed for “manipulation station”, with the internet “tie[ing] me to the tracks and harass[ing] me for my past”.

Following these accusations, the remaining dates of her Miranda Sings tour were canceled. Since then, Ballinger has not posted on social media.

In a turn of events, I found myself in a bit of a pickle after sharing some thoughts on social media that seemed to rub people the wrong way. It all started when I commented about having a house cleaner, which led to discussions about privilege. In a now-deleted post, I mentioned a conversation from an April 2021 livestream where someone said I was privileged and I agreed, sharing my perspective on the value of hard work that allows me to afford a house cleaner. This comment, however, sparked controversy, with one person suggesting that I’m unrelatable.

To clarify, I made it clear that I have no intention of being relatable and used examples such as Harriet Tubman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Marie Curie, and Oprah Winfrey – all remarkable figures who were undeniably unrelatable in their own ways – to support my point.

However, I must acknowledge that while it’s impressive to sell millions of books, I am not an abolitionist icon like Harriet Tubman. Recognizing the backlash and misunderstanding, I offered a sincere apology on Instagram, acknowledging the pain caused by my comments about these inspiring women – particularly women of color – whose experiences and struggles are far removed from mine.

In light of this situation, I want to emphasize that it’s crucial for me to step back, be quiet, and truly listen to others as we move forward together.

In March 2020, the creator of Something Navy clothing line and the original blogger shared with her Instagram followers that she had tested positive for COVID-19, intending to quarantine at her Manhattan apartment with her husband Brandon Charnas and daughters Ruby and Esme. However, just eight days later, her entire household – which included her nanny – moved to the Hamptons. Unfortunately, this decision raised some concerns as it seemed she was not fully adhering to social distancing guidelines during outdoor walks for fresh air.

When her husband cracked that only “hot” people were getting the virus, emotions boiled over.  

After posting an extensive apology addressing various concerns, it became clear that Nordstrom would not renew Charnas’ contract which had ended in 2019. As a response, Charnas, who welcomed her third daughter Navy in 2021, chose to relaunch her line directly to consumers, explaining that she wanted more control over the business. Now, Charnas is once again sharing her favorite Shopbop picks and collaborations with A Pea in the Pod on social media.

On The Glossy Podcast, Charnas admitted that people had urged her to be more mindful of the world’s events, and she realized that she should have been more sensitive during that time.

In 2020, fashion blogger Emily Gellis Lande publicly criticized registered dietitian, Nikki Zuckerbrot, on various posts. These posts included unverified testimonies from dieters who claimed to have paid significant amounts of money for Zuckerbrot’s high-fiber F-Factor Diet, only to experience health issues such as rashes, severe cramps, signs of metal poisoning, and in the most extreme case, a miscarriage. This controversy was reported by The New York Times.

Nikki Zuckerbrot hired lawyer Lanny Davis, former White House special counsel for President Bill Clinton, to defend her against these allegations. She denied the claims and argued that only 50 health complaints were received out of over 176,000 purchases of her snack bars and powders. To address concerns about heavy metals in her products, she released a Certificate of Analysis. She further defended her program on Today.

In response to Zuckerbrot’s defense, Emily Gellis Lande stated that Zuckerbrot believes she is helping people, but thinks that Zuckerbrot’s lifestyle is harmful and potentially causing anorexia. Zuckerbrot, who has worked with Megyn Kelly, retorted to The Times that Gellis Lande is just a fashion blogger.

Zuckerbrot filed two lawsuits against Emily Gellis Lande, accusing her of launching a smear campaign to damage her brand. Both lawsuits are still ongoing, and Gellis Lande has denied the claims.

In 2020, many parts of the world experienced a significant awakening regarding racial issues. However, it was Jessica Mulroney, a friend of Meghan Markle, who found herself in the midst of controversy. In an extended Instagram video, lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter detailed their strained relationship, which began when Mulroney took offense to Exeter’s call for her followers to use their influence positively during the racial unrest and support the Black community.

Exeter claimed that Mulroney responded in a problematic manner, reportedly speaking negatively about Exeter to other brands and even threatening her in writing. Although Mulroney issued an apology in a comment on Exeter’s video, she later sent a direct message that Exeter subsequently shared, stating, “Liable [sic] suit. Good luck.”

Mulroney posted an apology to her followers, expressing her intention to amplify Black voices by allowing them to take control of her social media accounts and share their experiences. However, Mulroney’s reality show, I Do, Redo, was cancelled by CTV.

In response to the controversy surrounding his wife, Jessica, Ben Mulroney stepped down from his co-host role on CTV’s eTalk, expressing hope that a new host of color would take over and use the platform for inspiration, leadership, and positive change. Despite this, Mulroney managed to maintain her high-profile friendship with Meghan Markle, as she stated in a now-deleted post, “Meghan and I are family. She is the kindest friend.

In natural and easy-to-read language:

In 2020, the former star of Vine turned YouTube personality, known for movies like “I Duct Taped My Brothers $400,000 Truck!” and getting fired from Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark, rose to greater prominence. On August 5th, the FBI carried out a search at his home in Calabasas, California, which they confirmed was related to an incident that occurred on May 30th at a mall in Scottsdale, Arizona. While filming a Black Lives Matter protest at the Fashion Square Mall, Paul refused to leave when police ordered everyone to do so. He claimed on Twitter that he and his group were not involved in any looting or vandalism during the protest.

Rumors surrounding the reason for the FBI raid spread quickly, with videos showing multiple firearms being taken away by the police. In a since-deleted video posted on August 12th, Paul stated that the search was related to the looting situation in Arizona and was part of an ongoing investigation. Although no charges were filed, Paul’s attorney told TopMob News they would be cooperating with the investigation.

Approximately a year post their reconciliation, the popular YouTube personality, often known as James Charles, found himself embroiled in fresh disputes. In an August 2020 tweet subtly criticizing certain celebrities launching makeup lines, he implied that Alicia Keys, who is usually bare-faced, shouldn’t have a skincare collection, later retracting his statement due to acknowledging he isn’t the arbiter of cosmetics.

However, barely two weeks later, Charles found himself in another controversy when he criticized Lauren Conrad’s new beauty line on Instagram Stories. He shared photos of empty packaging from a newly launched makeup brand by The Hills alum, implying she didn’t belong in the industry.

Conrad humorously admitted to her error on Instagram, blaming the woman responsible for assembling gifts (presumably Charles himself) for accidentally including an empty bag with the products sent out. Despite the mix-up, Conrad and Charles eventually cleared up their misunderstanding privately. Nevertheless, it’s evident that Charles knows his actions caused offense.

In a May 2020 video, vlogger and YouTuber Myka Stauffer, known as The Stauffer Life, opened by expressing that the video was the hardest they had ever made publicly. It quickly became clear that this video wasn’t about sharing their newborn nighttime routine or daily diet, but rather a heartbreaking announcement. Myka and her husband disclosed that they had placed their then-4-year-old adopted son Huxley, whom they had brought home from China in 2017, with his new, permanent family, due to the challenges of managing Huxley’s autism.

The response from their nearly one million subscribers was mostly outrage, with fans questioning whether the couple, parents to four other children, were either overly naive or had taken advantage of Huxley for clicks and donations, only to abandon him when his care became too difficult. The pair lost followers and partnerships with brands such as Fabletics, Suave, Danimals, who ended their collaborations, and even the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office in Ohio confirmed an investigation into Huxley’s well-being with TopMob News.

In late June, authorities declared that they had closed their case “without any charges.” However, Myka’s brand remains dormant, as she hasn’t posted to YouTube or Instagram since issuing a lengthy statement, expressing remorse for being naive during the adoption process and clarifying that they were not under any type of investigation.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I recently found myself in an unexpected situation that’s been causing quite a stir online. It all started when my husband, in his unique brand of humor, packed me a lunch filled with some unconventional items. Among other things, there was a bag of dog food and a note saying, “Because you’re my dawg,” along with two-day-old Chipotle.
the joke was in good spirit and not intended to offend anyone. We value each other, our meals, and our shared sense of humor deeply. So, here’s to keeping things lighthearted, fun, and always open for discussion!

In a TikTok video from September 2025, she stated it was time to clarify the events of the past weekend. She mentioned that people were quite worked up because he referred to her as ‘a canine.’

She went on, speaking more slowly. “He didn’t actually call me ‘Dog’, he used the term affectionately, like a friend. The abbreviation D-A-W-G stands for ‘Dawg’, a slang term for ‘homie’. It’s how we address each other in certain circles. It was all just a joke, J-O-K-E.

Having quite an adventurous journey began when Hall announced in May 2020 that he and his TikTok companion were planning a cross-country road trip shortly afterward. Instead of merely gathering sightseeing suggestions, they encountered significant criticism due to flouting stay-at-home guidelines for their travel plans. The backlash led Gen Z icon Hall to retort, “many states have lifted quarantine measures, we’re driving across the country maintaining social distancing… it’s not a big deal.”

However, they only dug themselves deeper when they traveled through Lee County, Texas, five days later. The sheriff’s office confirmed that Hall was arrested and charged with marijuana possession, while Hossler was arrested and charged with controlled substance possession. Both posted bail the following day; TopMob News reached out to their representatives for comment at the time, but Hall’s rep declined to comment, while Hossler’s didn’t respond.

In a June essay for People magazine, Hall admitted he had begun his journey toward sobriety: “Although I’ve made mistakes in the past, I am learning and growing… I will make you proud. I promise.

In October 2019, the YouTube personalities known as the Stokes Twins pulled off a prank that went too far. Dressed in black, they hailed an Uber as if they had just committed a bank robbery, with a hidden camera recording the incident. The unsuspecting Uber driver was alarmed and refused to leave, prompting a bystander to call the police.

The Irvine police arrived at gunpoint, assuming the driver was a suspect. Once it was confirmed he was not involved, the driver was released. However, the police warned the Stokes Twins about their dangerous behavior.

Four hours later, they repeated the prank on the University of California, Irvine campus, leading to their arrest. If convicted on charges of false imprisonment and swatting (making a hoax emergency call), they could face up to four years in prison. The Orange County D.A., Todd Spitzer, criticized their actions, stating that such pranks could have potentially caused serious harm or even death.

In a 2020 statement, their lawyer asserted their innocence. Despite this, the Stokes Twins pleaded guilty to lesser charges of misdemeanor false imprisonment and reporting false emergencies, receiving 160 hours of community service and one year of probation.

In a turn of events, the internet personality famously known as the “King of YouTube,” Dawson, found his reign abruptly ending in June 2020. This was prompted by a controversial tweet he posted, which has since been removed, expressing dissatisfaction with the online beauty community, particularly calling out James Charles. His words were perceived as harsh and hypocritical by his followers, given that those who live under the spotlight should avoid casting stones.

Following the backlash, Dawson issued a 20-minute apology video titled “Taking Accountability,” expressing remorse for his past actions, including using blackface, making racist remarks and jokes about pedophilia, and sexualizing then-11-year-old Willow Smith in one of his videos. He acknowledged that he should have been held accountable for these actions. As a result, YouTube temporarily suspended his ability to monetize his three accounts.

Dawson returned to creating content in 2021, expressing gratitude for his cancelation as it significantly influenced his life positively.
