Who is Fiona Jordan? NYC TikToker faces backlash over video of toddler vaping
Fiona Jordan, a 23-year-old TikTok influencer, faces backlash after an old video resurfaced showing her laughing as a toddler was forced to vape.
A popular TikTok content creator is facing backlash online after she admitted to filming a toddler who was forced to smoke a vape after a video of the disturbing incident resurfaced online after eight years. Influencer Fiona Jordan, then a teenager, laughed in the video as the child coughed after being made to smoke the vape.
The 23-year-old apologised after she was called out online. “I am a human, I make mistakes and this is one that I regret more than anything in this world. That moment does not reflect who I am today or the values that I live by. I cannot change what I did, but I can acknowledge how wrong it was and continue to hold myself accountable,” she said.
In the now-viral clip, the child is seen leaning into a vape offered to him by one of Jordan's friends, and a puff of smoke appears from his mouth, leaving him confused. The child then begins to cough and looks at the people around him, as a teenage Jordan laughs along with her friends. In another video, being shared online, the boy, whom Jordan was babysitting, can be seen being made to take a sip from a can of what appears to be beer.
In her apology, Jordan blamed "teenage stupidity" and claimed that she was 15 and grieving the recent death of her mother.
