MOM SAD BACKGROUND STORY
The clip was posted online by @ kizzle260 last weekend and shows an unidentified cook holding a baby on her hip with her right arm while she prepares meals.
It was labeled, “I don’t know why she brought her baby in here, smh.”
It garnered over four million views, the Daily Mail reported.
WINNING SYMPATHY
The multitasking mom convinced many sympathizers.
“Hella extra respect for her,” wrote one according to the mail.
“You never know anyone’s situation.”
Another wrote: “Not everyone can afford childcare and cannot afford not to work. Welcome to America. “
TIKTOK ‘TIFFANY’
A woman who claimed to be Tiffany Clark weighed in.
She wrote that she was the woman in the TikTok video and was taking care of her niece Octavia.
“Either I take it or [the Department of Social Services] was so she was brought to me [at] 2:30 am and I was already at work so I had no choice, ”wrote the woman claiming to be Clark.
She continued, “She is the only child of my late brother and I would not lose her in the system.”
WAFFLEHOUSE HOAXER
It was a ruse, however.
TMZ published a report suspending a woman who called herself “Tiffany Clark” who worked at a South Carolina waffle house, saying the TikTok video was the result of her caring for the child after her brother – one of them – died Cheater.
“This person posing as an employee also told us that they have been suspended from Waffle House for a week … everything we know now is NOT TRUE,” read the published correction of the story.
COMPANY CORRECTES RECORD
A Waffle House representative also confirmed that they examined the cook who was clutching the child in the TikTok video and “found that the media displays and social media posts are incorrect”.
The spokesman further confirmed that the person in the video was not the person who interviewed TMZ and who never asked for donations and, most importantly, “was never suspended from their job.”
Waffle House described that the employee featured on the TikTok clip, who has not been publicly identified, tried to calm her colleague’s crying baby.
She has since been trained and retrained on safety guidelines, according to the point of sale.
