I had twins by 15 & married at 16, trolls say my life is ‘sad & scary' but it makes me so much cash I don't have to work
Karina Padilla, from the US, took to social media to share a typical day in her life as a teen mum.
In the clip, she shared the dinner she was making for her family on a typical weekday.
Karina said: "Making dinner as a 19-year-old teen mum to 3-year-old twin girls and as a wife.
"For those that don't know, I had twins at 15 and I got married at 16 and I've been cooking for my family since I was 16."
In the video, the mum made fried chicken burgers from scratch with a buffalo sauce.
But the mum's responsibilities at such a young age didn't bode well with viewers.
One wrote: "She should be at the club."
"This makes me sad," a second added.
pregnancy is in the states. It really is a third world country."
But it seems that her teenage pregnancy has worked out in the best way possible for Karina and her family.
She often shares videos of what it's like being a teen mum on social media, and it helps her earn money.
I was a teen mum - staff wouldn't let me get my kid's ears pierced, it's insane
In a comment, Karina said her husband, 21, owned a landscaping company while she does social media for a living.
Creators on TikTok can make money through TikTok's creator fund if they have over 10,000 followers, and she had over 500k.
TikTok bosses say: "The funds that each creator can earn are worked out by a combination of factors - including the number of views and the authenticity of those views, the level of engagement on the content, as well as making sure content is in line with our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.
No two creators or videos are the same, and there is no limit to the different kinds of content we will support with the fund.
UK Teen Mum Statistics
Teen pregnancies in the UK have been decreasing considerably since 2007...
The under-18 conception rate has decreased considerably since 2007, reports Nuffield Trust.
Between 2007 and 2021, the under-18 conception rate in England and Wales decreased by 68%, from 42 per 1,000 women to 13 per 1,000 women.
This resulted in 13,131 under-18 conceptions in England and Wales in 2021.
"The Creator Fund total varies daily and is dependent on the amount of videos published by our community that day - so this will fluctuate based on the amount of content being published."
The clip went viral on her TikTok account @ padilla_twin.teenfamily with over 3 million views and while many judged the mum's teen pregnancy, others were quick to support her.
"No, just no, absolutely not! 16? Hell nahh," penned one.
Meanwhile another said: "Support teen mums, not teen pregnancy. She's doing well considering she had twins at 16."
"I was a teen mum too. You are doing an amazing job. Your husband and babies are very blessed to have you,' claimed a third.

Jussie Smollett opens up about alleged hate crime: ‘I felt like I had died'
Jussie Smollett has discussed his initial reaction to the alleged 2019 hate crime, which he was later accused of staging, in the new Netflix documentary The Truth About Jussie Smollett?. In the documentary, Smollett describes feeling 'eulogized' and 'emasculated' by the rapid circulation of reports about the alleged attack. The actor, who starred in Empire, claimed two men assaulted him in Chicago, but brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo later alleged Smollett paid them $3,500 to stage the incident. Prosecutors claimed Smollett orchestrated the attack due to dissatisfaction with the studio's response to hate mail while on Empire. Smollett was convicted of five counts of disorderly conduct in 2021, receiving a 150-day jail sentence, but his conviction was overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court in 2024 due to a non-prosecution agreement.

OnlyFans tennis star claps back at haters with another raunchy post after US Open match got cancelled
American tennis player and OnlyFans star Sachia Vickery has clapped back at haters with a raunchy post on her Instagram. The 30-year-old, currently ranked No. 559 in the world, has faced backlash from fans after revealing she had joined adult content site OnlyFans earlier this year. For $12.99 a month, subscribers have access to 'the content too spicy for Instagram,' according to Vickery's OnlyFans bio. She also charges men $1,000 to date her. Vickery has since faced harsh criticism from traditional tennis fans, who have brutally torn into her over the decision, but now the American has hit back. Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday, Vickery shared a video of herself in a bikini with the caption: 'Imagine hating me and I'm in my room like this everyday'. The following post on her Instagram story appeared to promote her OnlyFans page. The American, ranked No. 559, played her first match since February on Tuesday when she beat Anastasiya Soboleva in the first round of US Open qualifying. However, Vickery has discovered more lucrative means of keeping herself busy over the past few months - and they don't require her to swing a racket. Her OnlyFans platform teases her 'longest shower vid yet,' strip teases and 'spicier' pictures, while also asking her fans to rate her 'riding skills' as she shares risque videos and saucy snaps. Vickery has banked just over $2million throughout her 14-year career on the court. Outside of the sport, she demands a $1,000 deposit fee just to date her. 'I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick,' she told her 39,4000 followers during an Instagram Q&A session earlier this week. While Vickery's move may have sent ripples through the tennis world, she has no regrets. She previously revealed that she's always seen herself as something of a revolutionary. 'I've always pushed boundaries,' she said on the Black Spin Global podcast earlier this year. 'I've always been outspoken about racial hate I get online, bodyshaming. I'm very open about a lot of stuff. 'I'm still playing tennis, my career is still going but I also want to do things outside of tennis. I'm starting to explore more opportunities on social media.' 'Obviously there are levels to OnlyFans, you have athletes like Nick [Kyrgios] and Alex [Muller] who are going to be posting tennis content for the most part and then you have the other complete extreme, which I'm not. I'm in that middle gap,' she added. 'I set it up in January and it just took off. Being a tennis player definitely helped my marketing. I'm at a stage where I don't do the absolute most on there but I'm comfortable as I need to be. I'm doing really well. 'Obviously, I'm going to get some negative feedback but that's just normal. Whatever you do in life there's always going to be some criticism. If I was doing nothing I'd be getting criticism, so I might as well get on the platform and make money while I'm at it.' Yet as she stepped onto the Grand Slam stage in Flushing Meadows again this week, Vickery once again hit back at her critics. 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me … it's also the easiest money I've ever made and I enjoy doing it,' said Vickery when asked about balancing the two entirely different worlds together in an Instagram Q&A session. 'I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life. Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really.' Vickery, whose father Rawle is a former soccer player and brother Dominque Mitchell played football at South Carolina State, turned professional in 2011 after training with USTA and Mouratoglou Academy in France. But her career peaked back in 2018, when she managed a career-high ranking of World No 73. Now, the Florida native has slumped to No 559, without a single victory to her name. She failed to qualify for the Australian Open in January, stumbling in the third round of qualifying, and skipped Roland Garros and Wimbledon all together. However, she appears to save her best performances for the US Open with her best Grand Slam record coming in New York. She's made the second round of the tournament four times. Vickery is far from the first tennis player to have flirted with an alternate career on the x-rated website to fund their tennis ambitions. The sport's renowned babd boy, Nick Kyrgios, raised eyebrows earlier this year when he signed onto a saucy OnlyFans collaboration after his breakup from longtime girlfriend Costeen Hatzi. Kyrgios, who publicly split from his girlfriend of four years in March, hosted a new reality series for OnlyFans TV alongside adult entertainers Sophie Stonehouse and Rachel Starr in June. Titled Smash City, the series saw OnlyFans creators, including Vickery, battle it out on the pickle ball court to win $20,000. Kyrgios first joined OnlyFans in 2023, revealing in a statement that he wanted fans to see 'all different sides' of him after an injury saw him sidelined from his sport.

Friend of Bill Belichick's ex Linda Holliday hits out at Jordon Hudson for 'grossly inappropriate' act
A friend of Linda Holliday has slammed Bill Belichick 's girlfriend Jordon Hudson for 'grossly inappropriate' appearance at a Nantucket Christmas gala last December. Belichick, 73, and Holliday, 62, were together for 16 years, and broke up around September 2022. The following year, and despite their 49-year age gap, Belichick started dating Hudson after meeting her on a flight in 2021. Earlier this month, Hudson and Holliday suffered through an awkward meeting at a fundraiser for Nantucket Cottage Hospital. It was a tense follow-up to Hudson, 24, being kicked out of a Christmas party on the island last year at Holliday's request. Hudson and her beauty pageant bestie Melissa Sapini reportedly enraged Holliday by appearing at the event where her daughters were DJing. They were asked to leave close to the end of the night, agreeing to depart alongside an employee at the venue. As they waited by the exit, Hudson supposedly then told the employee that Holliday had threatened Sapini during the clash on the dance floor. Now, according to The New Yorker, a friend of Holliday has shed light on the situation. Elin Hilderbrand, a novelist and longtime friend of Holliday, said: 'No punches were thrown, no hair was pulled. 'But we did suggest she leave because we thought it was grossly inappropriate for her to be there. Bill and Linda were together since the girls were, like, fourteen years old, and they thought of him as a father figure.' Hudson reportedly refused to leave at first, and the situation escalated enough that a venue employee filed an internal incident report - later published by TMZ. Though the report stated Hudson was 'a paying guest' and had caused no disruption, she was eventually escorted out. Holliday reportedly told staff at the time, 'If this didn't involve my girls, I don't think this would have bothered me as much. The 'momma bear' in me came out.' Hudson has tried keeping a low profile following an excruciating April CBS interview with Belichick, where she was exposed for interrupting questions from off-camera about how the couple met. The fallout led to friends of Belichick publicly discussing an intervention, while others questioned his sanity and if Hudson was taking advantage of him. Then, at the beginning of August, two podcasters claimed they spoke to Hudson over the course of a week in several phone calls that left them with a growing sense of unease. They were trying to get Hudson to appear on their show but talks broke down, with Hudson allegedly shouting and crying over how the podcasters had previously spoken about her. This all comes with Belichick's first UNC game on the horizon. His team faces TCU in Chapel Hill on Monday, September 1. After Belichick failed to clinch another NFL job following his departure from the New England Patriots, he is deeply determined to be a success in North Carolina. Perhaps, then, it is no surprise to Belichick that his ex is causing more trouble at a time like this.
