Nick Viall Criticized Influencer Using Her Son For Clout — The Mom Clapped Back With Receipts

In today’s edition of “Men are so embarrassing,” former Bachelor star turned podcast overlord Nick Viall is catching major heat from lifestyle influencer Bunny Hedaya. And Bunny not only came with receipts, but she read him for filth in the most organized and concise manner ever.

If you’re not already in the loop, Bunny has a genius son who she homeschools. She was minding her business with her 2 million followers — until Nick dragged her into his cringe corner of the internet. On The Viall Files, Nick took it upon himself to call out Bunny for supposedly “exploiting” her son in her content. This is coming from a man whose whole podcast is literally built on exploiting reality stars and women’s personal lives for clickbait. Like Nick, it’s giving hypocrite.

Nick, who seems to believe he’s now the moral compass of the influencer world, criticized Bunny for featuring her son in a video where he was making jokes about space. Apparently, Nick thinks that’s enough to label her a bad mom. He even had the audacity to say she was using her child for clout, which, according to Bunny, couldn’t be further from the truth.

Bunny didn’t just sit back and take it, though. She fired back, spilling the tea in a TikTok that went viral. She called out Nick’s criticism, explaining that her son actually gets paid for his appearances on her account — and we’re not talking about just a couple of bucks in a piggy bank. Bunny said her son has a whole-ass payroll, a Roth IRA, and a savings account that she can’t touch. She even threw in a little financial literacy lesson, just in case Nick wanted to take notes.

And then, Bunny came for Nick’s neck. She pointed out that Nick, who only recently became a father, jumped into the same game of “exploitation” as soon as his baby was born. How? By making an ad with Huggies. And girl, Bunny did not let that slide. She demanded that Nick prove he put the money from those baby diaper deals into an account for his kid as she does. The challenge was laid out, and the ball’s in Nick’s court. Will he step up? Doubtful.

She didn’t stop there. Bunny made it clear that while Nick’s out here shaming her for a single video, he’s hosting guests on his podcast who parade their kids around way more, with little to no scrutiny.

Bunny’s got every right to be pissed. Since Nick’s podcast episode aired, she’s been bombarded with hate, from people harassing her online to trolls still bringing up some old drama with comedian Matt Rife, who falsely claimed she did OnlyFans. Bunny called out Nick for fueling the fire, saying his reckless comments led to fake articles and waves of “vile behavior” from his fans. (Nick Viall? More like Nick Vile, amirite?)

To finish him off, she left with a clear message: Stay out of women’s business, Nick. Your time as a reality TV villain is over, and nobody asked for your hot takes on motherhood.

So, will Nick issue that public apology Bunny demands? Or will he hide behind his podcast mic and keep throwing stones from his very problematic glass house? Either way, I’m behind my girl Bunny all the way.
