An influencer mum, who was slammed over a “dangerous” detail in a photo of her newborn

baby, has issued a response to the haters.

Trisha Paytas is known for creating controversy with her larger-than-life personality on
YouTube, TikTok and Instagram – and the birth of her first child was no exception.

Paytas, 34, announced the birth of her first daughter on Instagram and Twitter in September - and
immediately caused a furore when she declared the baby’s name was Malibu Barbie Paytas-
Hacmon.

Trolls branded the name choice “cruel and selfish”

“It is an ugly game played by the poor baby’s parents. It is NOT a cute name,” one user said.

But the controversy did not end there.

Weeks later Paytas shared a snap of her little girl sitting in an armchair alongside the caption:
“Introducing my new podcast host”.

And commenters immediately seized on a detail in the pic.
