Kat Stickler Claps Back At Critics Over Jason Tartick Split

Kat Stickler is a popular TikTok star with 10.4 million followers and over 658.9 million likes on her videos. She initially gained fame through her comedic content on social media. Kat’s content now often features her daughter, MK, whom she shares custody of with her ex.

Kat Stickler posted a video on various social media platforms addressing the concerns about introducing her daughter, 4, to someone she was only briefly dating. “It has come to my attention that some of you are concerned with the fact that I introduced MK to the man I was dating, and that relationship is now no more,” she began.

The TikTok star explained that she introduced Jason to her daughter as a ‘friend,’ not as a possible stepfather. “She doesn’t call anyone dad. She has a dad that is never a point of confusion for her, and I promise you guys, she is OK.”

Kat Stickler ended the video with an assurance to her followers. “I know that every single decision I make is with her best interest at the forefront of my mind and I can live with that,” she said.

Bachelor Nation Fans React

Bachelor Nation fans took to Reddit to react to Kat’s video. Many didn’t have problems with her introducing Jason to her daughter. However, Kat using her daughter in her social media content was the main issue.

  • “I hear and understand what she’s saying. And I imagine it’s hard to figure out the dating world as a single parent. But, just because you call them “mommy’s friend” doesn’t take away from the hurt and instability of having people walk in and out of your daughter’s life.”
  • “It’s less about introducing her kid, it’s about using those moments for likes. The “reunion” airport video of MK and Jason went viral, and she’s known for doing those types of videos (divorced mom reunites with daughter after weekend off — emotional).”

  • “I mean she profits off her child and videos with these men so🤷🏻‍♀️”
  • “For me, it’s less about introducing boyfriends to her child this quickly (though imo that’s not a great move), it’s more about creating content centered around the child + new boyfriend.”
  • “I just know too many traumatised kids who were introduced to boyfriend 1,2,3,4 etc”
  • “I have never had an issue with her introducing her daughter to who she is dating bc you can introduce them as a friend like she said. My main issue with Kat and other family influencers is it is gross to use your young children for views and engagement”

What do you think of Kat Stickler’s decision to introduce Jason Tartick to her daughter after only a few months of dating? Sound off in the comments.
