YouTuber publishes video after beating her daughter
YouTuber Michelle Grace runs a not-famous beauty channel on the Internet, even though she regularly publishes videos of make-up tips there. But in the past few days, the American has received more and more media attention through a video that has since been deleted.
On February 27, 2020, the YouTuber publishes a video in which you can hear a child screaming loudly in the background. In an irritated tone of voice, the 22-year-old mother reports in front of the camera that it is her little daughter. Michelle Grace initially leaves the reason for the tears unmentioned. Instead, it is said that the 2-year-old girl found the mother's makeup palette and played with it. An incident that has probably taken place in the beauty YouTuber's house several times.
"No matter how often I tell her not to play with my makeup, she does it anyway. No matter where I hide it, she'll find it. At this point, I now need a safe with numbers, "complains the YouTuber in a desperate voice
Michelle Grac e's daughter got into the makeup palettes again and let off steam on them. Several pallets have become smeared and unusable, the American claims in front of the camera. Then there is a bang. According to her own statement, the 22-year-old YouTuber just hit her daughter . The young girl is to blame for her own fate. "My hand hurts because I just hit it. But I told her; she should listen to me "
At a later point in the video, Michelle asserts that the act of violence was an isolated incident: “I usually don't hit my child unless it's really necessary. Then there is a blow. And it almost doesn't hurt. Then she only cries for 5 seconds. "
Nevertheless, the YouTuber initially says that her beating is justified. After all, the wantonly destroyed palette was not just ordinary make-up, but an edition of YouTuber and beauty guru James Charles. According to Michelle's statement, this was her favorite palette; she would have to wait until after Christmas for a new one. The pallets cost up to 50 euros.

Beaten YouTube mother now breaks her silence "[..] hit her. But not hard."
The YouTuber's shocking video quickly reached several hundred thousand views before Michelle Grace's clip and YouTube channel were deleted. The 22-year-old initially did not comment on this incident. Michelle Grace breaks her silence in a new statement. She directs the message to all fans and reacts to the media hype that she received from her video .
On Twitter she shows herself ruefully: "Hi, I should never have done what I did. I acted out of my emotions and made a misjudgment." However, the act itself does not explicitly admit it here. Instead, the young mother apologizes for her choice of words on YouTube : "Apart from that, I am really sorry for what went wrong. It was a bad choice of words and I admit that".
She also asserts that the 22-year-old cares more about the well-being of her daughter than the condition of her make-up palette: "[Name of the child] is a happy and healthy 2.5-year-old girl. She is not injured and she's fine. I shouldn't have made it look like materialistic things are more important than her, familiar with it isn't. I understood where I was wrong. I love her more than anything and everyone. I already have always.
Noticeably overwhelmed by the sudden media interest, she withdraws from all social media channels with the following words: "Everyone is angry with me. And I understand that. I had to take a step back and privatize everything and switch off my comments to rethink the situation ", is it [called. I want to do my best to correct this situation and make progress so that I can be a better mother for [child's name], "she concedes.
But the statement goes even further. Michelle Grace comments on her role as a young mother on Twitter as follows: "I am a young mother and far from perfect. But I am a good mother. My video and my mixed feelings have not shown that at all and it really does sorry. I'm still learning about being a parent. It's not easy. I think it will never be easy. I hope one day that you will all see the good in me. "
Then she explicitly admits her act of violence and asks for suggestions and help from other parents. "Yes, I hit her. But not hard," is her resigned conclusion after the beating . It wants to prevent such derailment from happening again in the future. In the same breath, however, she does not ask for forgiveness and does not want to attest herself. Nevertheless, the YouTuber wants to become a better person with the help of others. Finally, the young mother also flashes that this could also mean external intervention by the authorities: "Yes, the authorities are involved and are investigating the situation."
These are not the individual cases of violence that occur with YouTubers or streamers *. For example, streamer Alinity throws her pets through her room *, other streamers injure themselves and receive a Twitch-Ban *. The streamer Alinity * is now causing another horror in the Twitch community with her pets.
Fans and concerned parents react indignantly to the YouTuber's spanking video
The statement is reacted with mixed feelings. Many viewers are upset and want Michelle Grace to have her child taken away. Videos are accumulating on YouTube in which other users of the platform react to the scandal video and give their opinion. Some actually want to help the 22-year-old mother. So they try to convince Michelle that the child and youth protection service is not a bad solution. There you can solve their aggressive tendencies and deal with psychiatric problems.
Others quote their apologies and accuse them of playing down their act. Michelle herself replies to such comments by saying that the tweets and messages are all exaggerating. She allegedly "didn't hit her daughter so hard". Meanwhile, the father of the 2-year-old daughter tries to fight for sole custody. The young father reports on Reddit with a statement about the spanking scandal.
But Twitch streamer and YouTuber Carl Riemer also got it hard. The 22-year-old pulled a gun in a live stream and destroyed his entire career within seconds.
