Mom Dances With Stillborn Baby In Viral Video Claiming It’s A ‘Coping Mechanism’
Lexie, 21, had been looking forward to posting a video with her newborn after spending 10 hours in labor, but instead of experiencing the joy of welcoming a child into the world, Lexie experienced the worst pain imaginable.
After losing her daughter in a stillb.i.r.t.h, Lexie continued to post clips of her dancing while holding the baby, captioning the first video: “Waiting 8 months just for you to come out with no heartbeat.”
Perhaps because Lexie was looking forward to posting a clip with her newborn or because she was overcome with grief, the TikToker decided it would be a good idea to immortalize what could have been by dancing with her stillborn baby on the platform.
And people are expressing how horrified and offended they are at the fact that she went “full TikTok” with the clip – from the music choice, the filter on her face, and the fact that she uploaded more than one clip featuring her stillborn.
The grieving mom received backlash for dancing with her stillb.o.r.n baby.
Lexie added that it was “dark humor at it’s finest” and urged people to let her “cope in peace.”
Although posting the video as a way to deal with grief, according to Lexie, many people flooded her with critical and hateful comments, prompting her to take the video down.
People started expressing horror as she posted videos, from the filter she used, music selection, and she even posted videos of her unborn baby.
In another clip that has since been taken down, Lexie explains that she is only 21 years old and believes she can cope her way.
“It’s not a joke,” she added. “It’s my coping mechanism.”
Lexie revealed that she wanted to feel comfortable seeing and talking to her child, despite the fact that her daughter was not by her side.
In a YouTube video posted by Lexie, she further explains her decision to post more TikTok videos with her stillborn daughter.
Lexie explained that the only time her daughter would kick in her stomach was when she was up making TikTok dances.
“The only time I could get [her] to kick was when I was up making TikTok
dances,” Lexie explained. “So I said ‘You know what, I’m going to show
my baby off to the world.’”
Lexie continued by saying that after she had made the videos with her daughter, she felt a sense of peace wash over her.
“To this day I don’t feel bad about it,” Lexie added. “I still watch those videos every single day. People don’t understand that it was never meant to be a joke, it was never meant to be disrespectful.”
“It was simply my way of fulfilling the wishes that I had with my daughter,” Lexie said.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse
