Influencer Blasted For Using Crying Son In Video Says She Got Death Threats

Who is Jordan Cheyenne: Almost five months ago, a video on her YouTube channel stirred worldwide outrage. Jordan Cheyenne was accused of using her eight-year-old son as clickbait, allegedly urging him to fake-cry for the camera while she broke the news of their sick puppy to him. Social media users blasted her for causing distress to the child, for her own gains.

She apologised for the incident but the big controversy prompted her to go offline. On January 25, she returned to YouTube after a brief hiatus. "I was cancelled worldwide & my life changed forever," the title of her comeback video reads.

"This time off has been immensely necessary for me on so many levels," Cheyenne ">says. "I refuse to let mistakes hinder my future, I am choosing to not live in shame and guilt, and instead move forward with a positive attitude & keep my son out of my content going forward."

In her latest video, Cheyenne revealed she was at the receiving end of massive abuse, including death threats, in the time that she was on a break. Her family was allegedly harassed and doxxed (meaning, their private information was leaked). Cheyenne said she also went through a break-up during the period.

Crying Child, 'Clickbait' Video, Global Criticism: Know Who Is Jordan Cheyenne

Cheyenne is an online influencer and YouTube content creator with over 530,000 subscribers. California-based, she is popular for posting videos related to lifestyle, beauty, fitness and vlogs. In September 2021, she was the target of massive scrutiny across social media platforms after she shared a video featuring her son, Christian.

As per reports, in a now-deleted clip she shared, Cheyenne was heard telling her son to "cry harder" as she told him their puppy was diagnosed with a deadly illness. "Come closer... Act like you’re crying," she said coaching him while the two sat in a car. "Mom, I’m actually seriously crying," the young boy replied, looking distraught.

"Let them see your mouth," Cheyenne told her son, asking him to look at the camera while he cried.

The video was presumably an unedited one, possibly uploaded accidentally.
