Heartbreaking and infuriating\u2026 \u2014 Philip DeFranco \ud83d\udc4a\ud83c\udffb (@PhillyD) February 27, 2020 Public sentiment was largely the same, with many users echoing his disgust over the matter, causing Grace to explain the issue in a series of Instagram stories and Tweets after the video went viral. \u201cShe\u2019s a lot smarter than you guys think,\u201d she tweeted of her daughter. \u201cShe\u2019s the most intelligent toddler I know. She knows right from wrong. So yes, she knew what she was doing.\u201d The YouTuber also claimed that she should not have \u201cposted the video,\u201d arguing that the destroyed makeup wasn\u2019t the reason for her child\u2019s punishment, but that she \u201cdoesn\u2019t listen\u201d to instructions. She went on to share other clips of the video that were not part of other viral posts, where she claimed that she doesn\u2019t spank her child \u201cunless I absolutely have to, and usually, it\u2019s just a pop.\u201d Grace has since gone dark on social media in wake of the outrage, with many onlookers hoping that the YouTuber rethinks her parenting style as a consequence of her upload going viral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
