On April 10, the star shared a video message about the ongoing viral trend resulting from her name, and talked about how kids look “petrified” in the videos she’s watched. This trend came after she joked about it in another post. Although she now explains that the viral trend is something she mainly uses on her pets. She added: “Guys, I’m not really sure how I feel about this Jessica trend with moms and little kids and now dogs seem to work for them — which is kind of amazing, I’m going to try it on my dogs. I feel like half the kids in these videos look terrified.” She also commented on the post by adding: “On behalf of all Jessica, we are nice people.”She added: “I would really love to be able to come into your house with my name that I share with so many wonderful Jessicas around the world, I’m sure, and help you get through your kids’ tantrums, but I kind of feel like these kids are terrified.”
She also shared that this part of her is grateful and wants to say “You’re welcome”; However, there is also another part of her that feels like she shouldn’t do that.“Please please please don’t make your child terrified of people named Jessica. Because we are good people. We are good people. We want to help you with the tantrum, but we don’t want to scare your child,” she concluded very happily.
What is ‘Jessica Tantrum’ going viral?
