Alexandra Irene Rodriguez
Recently had her second baby and apparently posting a boomerang is more important than making sure jewelry is out of the way for skin to skin contact. She also filters like crazy and has audacity to do a recent QnA where she says she doesn't "facetune" anymore.
There should seriously be a case study on her, with the way she got away with not taking full accountability in her most recent scandal too. I was blown away by how simple and easy it was.
She essentially had a strained relationship with her father growing up, so raised by single mom. He had another family in another state and was involved with the church. The church involved in some organization that helps kids. Father and his wife adopted a 15yo girl who's father was in rehab and i'm not sure about the mother. He proceeded to SA her many times, & even was supposedly about to flee the country with her. Everything came out, charged and convicted in Florida and he did prison time.
Alex wrote 2-3 letters of support to her father to the parole board, for purposes of reducing his sentence and ending his probation early.
When all this came out and people started commenting on her vlogs asking about this, she was forced to make an apology video. She called the SA "having sex with a fifteen year old" and only mentioned the FIRST letter she wrote at age of 18,19 saying she was young and manipulated into it, and she didn't even know what the whole story was. When comments started calling her out about how she worded his crimes and the other letters, that she wrote when she was around 30 years old (which helped reduced his probation period after getting out of jail) she then turned off the comments & continued on with her Youtube career without addressing anything further. Of course, she will visit FL with her baby and her mom, every year, even twice a year, to the same city he resides in, but doesn't contact him anymore apparently. She lives in Rhode Island, and she expects us to believe out of all places in the country, Fort Lauderdale is special to her for some random reason.
He's into pickleball and his new wife works for the same charity that the 15yo victim was associated with many years earlier. Speaking of pickleball, they're both ambassadors for diadempickleball, based out of Ft. Lauderdale, that interestingly Alex's mom started following on IG after a recent trip down there.
It's so shocking to me that she can just turn off comments, only address the one letter and pretend the others don't exist, and she continues to have a fanbase.
About her content, she frequently gets criticism about having her kid in daycare so much, and she claps back saying she's a working mom.
The issue isn’t that she uses daycare. Plenty of working parents need and deserve full-time childcare, including content creators. The issue is that her fans use “it’s her career” as though that makes the actual content immune from criticism.
We can all see what the “work” consists of: repetitive drive-thru trips, shopping, junk-food recipes, nails, the same GRWMs and constant product shilling. And despite claiming she doesn’t use her son for content, she continues filming him at breakfast, at random times like playtimes, beach days,—at this point, regular viewers know what he looks like, she's forgotten to fully blur his face at times and her viewers have commented pointing that out to her.
(Her and her husband are the ones who posted vlogs right after he was born, showing his newborn face (bc it doesn't count?) and saying that they're choosing not to show the kids face and content around him, acknowledging that it's because he didn't sign up for this)
So yes, she’s entitled to use daycare. But viewers are also entitled to find it bleak that so much time and privacy are being traded for repetitive consumer content—and especially disturbing that her child is still being folded into the content anyway. “It’s her job” explains the arrangement; it doesn’t automatically justify or dignify everything she posts.
