TikToker Hannah Hiatt Shared Mom Struggles Before Child Investigation

As a seasoned observer of the digital world, I must say that the lives of these individuals have been a rollercoaster ride, to put it mildly. From George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s harmless prank on Julia Roberts to the Stokes Twins’ bank robbery stunt gone wrong, it seems like some celebrities are forgetting that not all humor translates well on camera.

Hannah Hiatt wasn’t afraid to admit motherhood isn’t always easy. 

Approximately one month before it became public that police launched an investigation into Hannah due to accusations of mishandling children’s welfare, Hannah – known for her viral video displaying 17 soiled diapers scattered in her home from October – openly discussed her challenges of single parenting for a day as her husband attended jury duty.

In a heartfelt TikTok post dated November 21st, I (Hannah) confessed, “Even if it’s just for a day or a few days, being a solo parent is no walk in the park. It’s incredibly challenging.

Caring for both the 2-year-old named James and their 2-month-old unnamed baby on her own can pose unique challenges for the TikToker, as it becomes particularly demanding when she yearns for some personal time to express herself as an individual.

Hannah described a common situation where she often passes her kids to her husband and steps away for some time. However, when one is a solo or single parent, there’s no one else to take over. Instead, it’s a constant responsibility that continues from morning till night and carries on into the next day, with no relief in sight.

Recognizing that many single parents don’t have the choice to raise their children alone, she expressed her gratitude for not finding herself permanently in that situation. In Hannah’s words, “It’s hard for me to fathom being a single parent.

If you’re managing parenthood alone – whether you’re a single mom, a single dad, or simply going solo – let me express my deep admiration and respect, because I honestly couldn’t handle it on my own.

In December, authorities informed People magazine that they had initiated an inquiry against Hannah, following multiple concerns raised by Child Protective Services and the police.

Information about an investigation surfaced not long after the mommy blogger was hit with numerous online accusations of mishandling her son, following the removal of a TikTok video she posted showing James in a shopping cart seat during a grocery store visit. In this recording, James appeared to cover his face with his hands as his father approached him.

Fans commented on the video, suggesting that James looked startled or frightened around Hannah and her spouse, a claim which Hannah later refuted.

She remarked in a Nov. 30 TikTok video that her kids are both healthy and well-fed. They were seen running and playing, which she considered a strong sign that they’re doing great.

Additionally, Hannah also stood up for her husband, emphasizing that their relationship shared a remarkably close and powerful bond akin to that between a father and son.

Hannah noted, “My husband is simply the best, most loving, caring, and nurturing father anyone could ever ask for, not just in our world but across the whole globe. In fact, he spends an incredible 90% of his time on the floor, playing with James.

The situation began when the writer of “Girl, Wash Your Face” made a controversial post about her house cleaner which eventually became messier. A clip of the deleted post was shared by Angie Treasure, revealing that Hollis had spoken about a woman who cleans her toilets, commenting that she is privileged but also worked hard to afford this luxury service. She further stated that the woman called her “unrelatable,” to which Hollis responded by pointing out historical figures like Harriet Tubman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Marie Curie, and Oprah Winfrey as examples of unrelatable icons.

In March 2020, the creator of Something Navy clothing line and original blogger announced on Instagram that she had tested positive for COVID-19, intending to isolate in her Manhattan apartment with her husband Brandon Charnas and their daughters Ruby and Esme. However, eight days later, her entire household – including their nanny – moved to the Hamptons. It was not a very admirable situation as her Instagram comments grew more critical as she bragged about going for walks outdoors for “fresh air” instead of practicing social distancing.

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

Later on, she publicly expressed a heartfelt apology, addressing numerous issues – their nanny also fell ill with the virus, they arranged for doormen to clear out the building lobby before leaving, didn’t refuel at gas stations, had groceries delivered, and resided in a secluded home in the Hamptons. However, the backlash persisted.

2020 found me, an ardent follower of fashion icon Emily Gellis Lande, witnessing her vocal critique against registered dietitian Zuckerbrot.

This saga garnered attention from The New York Times, which published an article detailing the events.

Some pranks are cute. Say, George Clooney and Brad Pitt covering Julia Roberts‘ dressing room door in shaving cream. This is not that. In October 2019, the YouTube personalities, known as the Stokes Twins clad themselves in black and, pretending as if they’d just robbed a bank, called an Uber to serve as a getaway while a camera rolled. Definitely not in on the joke, the Uber driver refused to peel away and a bystandercalled the cops. 

“Irvine police arrived and ordered the Uber driver out at gunpoint,” the Orange County District Attorney’s Office later shared in a press release. The driver was released once authorities determined he was not involved, the release continued, and “police issued a warning to the Stokes brothers about the dangers of their conduct.”

Four hours later the twins allegedly recreated the routine on the University of California, Irvine campus, resulting in their arrest. Facing up to four years in prison if convicted on false imprisonment and swatting charges, they received the ire of Orange County D.A. Todd Spitzer, who said in a statement, “These are crimes that could have resulted in someone getting seriously injured or even killed.”

In a 2020 news release, their lawyer said, “We can say without hesitation that our clients are in fact not guilty of any crimes.” Still, they pled guilty to lesser charges of misdemeanor false imprisonment and reporting false emergencies, receiving 160 hours of community service and one year of probation.

Crowned the “King of YouTube” for his lengthy videos that earned him some 34 million followers, Dawson saw his reign end in June 2020 after he posted a since-deleted explosive tweet about why he was leaving the online beauty community. “They are all attention seeking, game playing, egocentric, narcissistic, vengeful, two-faced, ticking time bombs ready to explode. And I’m OVER it,” he griped, calling out James Charles in particular as “a young, egocentric, power-hungry guru who needed to be served a slice of humble pie in the size of the f–king Empire State Building.”

His followers were not impressed, noting that those that live in glass glam rooms shouldn’t throw stones. And within days Dawson had posted a 20-minute video titled “Taking Accountability” in which he apologized for his own bad behavior, noting “I have done a lot of things in my past that I hate,” including using blackface, making racist remarks and jokes about pedophilia and posting a video that sexualized a then-11-year-old Willow Smith

“This video is coming from a place of just wanting to own up to my s–t, wanting to own up to everything I’ve done on the internet that has hurt people, that has added to the problem, that has not been handled well,” he said. “I should have been punished for things.” Which he was, YouTube suspending his ability to monetize his three accounts. 

He returned to creating content in 2021, saying, “I’m so grateful that I got cancelled, because it really changed my life.”
