Taina Williams is speaking out after a video of her and G Herbo’s daughter Emmy blew up on social media. The clip sees Emmy pretending to be blind to help Taina’s friend, Asia Carter score some cash, but folks online weren’t too happy with the funny skit.
The internet is side-eyeing Taina Williams after her friend Asia Carter shared a funny TikTok video of her daughter Emmy pretending to be blind. Emmy went all out for her role, tilting her head back and blinking extra hard to make it look like she couldn’t see. Asia explained that the video was intended to be a joke, but it still ended up ruffling some feathers once it landed on Instagram. Some folks quickly weighed in saying the skit was insensitive and disrespectful to those that are visually impaired. Taina clearly peeped some of the comments and ended up stepping into The Shade Room to respond writing, “Man tik tok & instagram are two different worlds lol.”
@asiacarterrr I tried, I literally couldnt stop laughing original sound – Asia Carter
After TSR reposted the video of Taina and G Herbo’s daughters, the comments started rolling. Some joked that Emmy understood the assignment, while others said they didn’t find the clip funny at all.
Instagram user @grlcam wrote, “Being blind isnt funnny. Why are we joking about disabilities these days?”
Instagram user @internationalhannah wrote, “No disability should be a trend, ever.”
While Instagram user @danacodyexperience wrote, “How is this funny?”
Then Instagram user @theeseductresss wrote, “I wouldve been NO GOOD on the floor crying, snotting, hyperventilating chillllllleeeeeee these kids are funnyyyyyy”
Another Instagram user @official__lovelyelina wrote, “And she stayed in character she so cuteeeee.”
Instagram user @realnoriega_ wrote, “Its just a joke relax this world to woke for me sometimes.”
While another Instagram user @allesberrycharity wrote, “Y’all act like people never mocked Stevie Wonder!!! This world is so HEAVY lighten up….That baby needs an Oscar for her performance ”
Then another Instagram user @justice.chanquan wrote, “As a person who cant see. Its funny til it aint.”
Finally, Instagram user @iamjewelsantana wrote, “KIDS ARE NATURALLY HILARIOUS ASF YO ”
Emmy might have the internet talking now with her blind skit, but this isn’t her first time going viral on social media. Taina’s friend Asia has already posted clips of Emmy and her brother Essex, who is Taina and G Herbo’s son. In one video, the trio hopped on the viral ‘Bugatti Challenge.’ Emmy strapped on her helmet and was ready to skrt off, while Essex hit the gas and flew straight off the screen. Asia, on the other hand, looked like she ran out of fuel and was some difficulties. Peep the hilarious video below.
