Bunny Hedaya criticized Matt Rife for instigating a conflict with her son. The TikTok star expressed her frustration in a lengthy rant following a comment the comedian left for her 6-year-old on Instagram, suggesting that his Christmas presents were funded by his mother’s earnings on OnlyFans.
Hedaya addressed the situation in a TikTok video, stating, “Matt Rife has decided to start beef with my 6-year-old child online. Yeah, you heard me correctly. My 6-year-old child online.”
Rife’s comment was a response to a video Hedaya shared on Instagram, where her son playfully responded to one of Rife’s stand-up jokes about women and astrology. The comedian’s retort included revealing details about Christmas presents and questioning the existence of Santa Claus.
In response, Hedaya created a TikTok video addressing Rife’s comments about her and asserting her independence. She emphasized that she had never earned money from men and criticized Rife for not appreciating that people might like women for their personalities.
Hedaya clarified that the Instagram video with her son was a lighthearted response to her fans continually tagging her in Rife’s stand-up video, given her son’s interest in space. She expressed her usual focus on personal content and ended the video by wishing Rife luck in his career and urging him to keep her child’s name out of his comments.
This incident adds to Rife’s controversial history, as he faced criticism last month for making light of domestic violence in his comedy special. Despite issuing an apology on Instagram, Rife redirected fans to purchase special needs helmets from Medicaleshop, creating further controversy.
