Popular children’s YouTube creator Miss Rachel sparked a social media backlash over the weekend after she posted a video celebrating Pride Month with a stern message for parents who disagreed with her comments.
The educational content creator, who has become a hit among babies and toddlers and has nearly 10 million subscribers, posted the video to her TikTok account, “MsRachelForLittles,” on June 1, the first day of Pride Month.
“Happy Pride to all our amazing family and friends! I bless you all this month and every month,” says Rachel Accurso. Said“I’m so glad you’re here. I’m so glad you’re being you.”

Accurso, who expected conflict with some viewers, added: “To those who comment, because of this support I can’t watch this show anymore, don’t worry, lots of love for the way you guys are doing it.”
“God bless me. I am not chasing fame or ratings, I stand strong in love,” she added.
Accurso’s latest video has sparked outrage among conservatives and parents.
Daily Wire host Matt Walsh slammed the creators on X (formerly Twitter) and urged parents to use other services.
“This is a message to all conservative parents,” he said in response to her Pride video. “She doesn’t want your business and you should respond accordingly.”
“I’m doing my part to help parents know what Rachel stands for!,” TikTok Libs commented. “Rachel says if you don’t join a child abuse cult we don’t want your business. Tell them!”
Morgonn McMichael, a contributor for Turning Point USA, said: Posts“This woman is sick. Your children love to look up to her and admire her.”
Bradley Brewer, a conservative Christian father, responded, “Rachel’s show is aimed at children under the age of 3 who are just learning to talk. Why is she pushing this and inviting someone like Dylan Mulvaney…it’s very evil and inappropriate.”

Last year, Accurso said she was forced to take a “mental health break” after her parents were infuriated by her demand that co-star Jules Hoffman, who is transgender and non-binary, be referred to by the pronouns “they” and “them” on the show.
Accurso also drew criticism last month when he announced a fundraiser for children in conflict zones, including Gaza. Jewish mothers criticized the YouTube sensation for not mentioning the Jewish children killed on October 7 and the children held hostage. Many others questioned why Accurso wasn’t also fundraising for Israeli children affected by the war. Accurso has since disabled comments on the fundraiser post, Instagram statement.

“I care deeply about all children: Palestinian children, Israeli children, American children, Muslim, Jewish, Christian children, children of all nations,” she said. “No one is left out. I think one of the reasons people respond to this show is because they feel compassion. I see all children as my own. I love all my neighbors. Any child who is suffering is in my heart. It’s the human thing to do to raise money for children who are starving right now, children who are being killed because they have no food or water.”
Accurso did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
