NRL WAG praised for calling out mummy vlogger trend
An NRL WAG has said filming her daughters cry 'is the last thing' she would think about and expressed confusion about mums who make it 'their brand'. Tayla Montoya, who is married to Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs player Marcelo Montoya, shared her opinion on mummy vloggers after stating she is repeatedly 'fed' their content. She also shares twin daughters — Tiana and Milan — who are less than a year old with her football star husband. 'Day in the life as a new mum, come with me with my twins blah blah blah,' the radio star said on The Montoyas podcast. 'The videos that I get is where a mum would be like spend the night with me with an eight-week-old newborn. And they will document every time the baby cries and they go to settle and feed the baby.' She couldn't believe that when the baby cries some mother's first thought was 'hold on, let me set up my camera first so everyone can see'. Husband Marcelo said the world has 'lost the plot'. 'That is the last thing I would think about, especially at the newborn stage,' Tayla said. 'When Tiana and Milan weren't sleeping — they were sending me through hell — the last thing I would think is 'girls, f*****g hold that thought, let me set up on a tripod. This sh*t's gold'.' Her husband was confused, asking why people did that for. His wife simply responded that it was 'content'. 'That's their brand,' she said. Many of the couple's fans agreed in the comment section. 'I'm with your hubby! Society has completely lost the plot,' one social media user said. Another said: 'I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks about this kinda stuff when I see videos like that.' 'My thinking as well,' another social media user commented. One person said; 'Say it louder!' Mummy vloggers and family content channels have become increasingly under scrutiny when it comes to child welfare and content payment — particularly following the imprisonment of Ruby Franke. Franke, who ran the 8 Passengers channel, was arrested in August 2023 alongside her business partner Jodi Hildebrant after her 12-year-old son climbed out of the window of Hildebrant's home and ran to a neighbour's propert y. The boy was malnourished, begging for food and water, had been bound with duct tape and had open wounds. The mother-of-six pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse, sentenced to one to 15 years for each count. It prompted conversation about regulating the 'kidfluencer' and 'family vlogging' space. Currently, there are no laws in Australia that specifically govern child influencers. However, three states in the US — including California — have recently passed laws on the matter.

Footy WAG slams mummy vloggers for mistreating their own kids to get clout on social media
NRL WAG Tayla Montoya has called out mum vloggers on social media who chase followers over the needs of their own children. In an Instagram video posted on Tuesday, the wife of Bulldogs flyer Marcelo Montoya relayed what often occupies her news feed. 'I'm fed all sorts of videos featuring mum vloggers,' the mother of twin baby girls began. 'It is like a day in the life of a new mum... come see me with my baby. 'They document every time the baby cries and they go to settle the baby and then feed the baby.' Marcelo then breaks in to add, 'Society has lost it... lost the plot.' Tayla then takes centre stage - and her comments will ring true with many parents. 'You hear your baby's cries. The first thought, f**k! Hold on, little Johnny, let me set the camera up first so everyone can see I'm about to go in and pick you up. 'That would be the last thing I would think about, especially [in] newborn stages when Tiana and Milan [their daughters] weren't sleeping. 'They were sending me through hell, the last thing I would think is girls, hold that thought, let me set this up on a tripod, this s**t's gold.' When Marcelo asks why the vloggers would do that, his wife replies, 'That's content, Marc, that's their brand, that's what they want to show the world. The clip resonated with many of the couple's followers. 'Omg you guys are real and so awesome,' one posted in response. 'I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks about this stuff when I see videos like that,' offered another. 'You guys are the best! I'm a Mum of two and I honestly agree that the world has lost the plot of parents documenting their kids.' In November last year, Montoya bravely stated his wife would 'be fine' giving birth to twins - and that they were now 'even' given he has supposedly endured similar physical pain across his nine-year NRL career. Her counter said it all: 'if a male encountered that level of pain, you would collapse and die.' Meanwhile, Montoya will miss the next six matches for Canterbury after undergoing neck surgery this week. He has scored eight tries in 15 games - but has been battling referred pain from his neck to shoulder. It is anticipated the 29-year-old will return ahead of the NRL finals.
