MOM GETS ONLINE BACKLASH AFTER “GENDER REVEAL” DEBACLE

A viral gender reveal video has sparked massive backlash online after a grandmother’s “surprise twist” completely stole the spotlight from her pregnant daughter. The clip shows a 23-year-old expectant mom and her husband preparing for their big reveal, surrounded by cheering friends and family. Just before the confetti cannons went off, the mom’s mother climbed onto an elevated spot, holding her own balloon.

When the couple popped their cannons, pink and blue confetti flew — leaving everyone confused. That’s when the grandmother popped her own balloon, showering pink confetti to reveal “the real” gender: a girl.

Viewers quickly slammed the grandmother’s stunt as selfish and “narcissistic,” noting how the mom’s smile faded as her moment was hijacked. The video has racked up over 27 million views, with most commenters agreeing the grandmother crossed a line — and that the new parents deserved to have their special moment without the drama.
