A viral TikTok video shows a father rejecting his baby daughter, igniting widespread criticism and discussions about gender bias and parenting.
City: Sydney: A recent TikTok clip from momfluencer Sammie Head has stirred up quite a storm. In the video, her baby girl crawls toward her dad, but he just turns and walks away, leaving the little one in tears.
It’s been labeled as humor, but many viewers found it anything but funny. The text overlay reads, “My husband won’t hold our daughter because she’s a girl.” Seriously, who thinks that’s a joke?
Sammie has a huge following, nearly 800k, and usually shares funny takes on motherhood. But this? It’s hard to see how anyone could laugh at a sobbing baby being rejected by her dad.
People were not amused. The video racked up over three million views, but the comments were mostly negative. Many viewers expressed horror at the situation, questioning the parents’ judgment.
One comment read, “What sort of parents do a video like this just for social media clout? Repulsive from both of you.” Others shared their own painful experiences, highlighting how real and damaging such rejection can be.
Some viewers even suggested that Sammie should leave her husband for treating their daughter this way. It’s a tough topic, and many felt that joking about it was completely inappropriate.
In cultures worldwide, the preference for male children over females is a serious issue. Sammie’s video, in that light, feels incredibly privileged and out of touch.
With stories of gender bias and neglect echoing through society, it’s hard to believe that in 2025, someone would think this kind of content is okay. It’s a reminder that we still have a long way to go in addressing these issues.
