A beauty blogger has been accused of child abuse after making a video saying she beat her two-year-old daughter so hard her hand hurt after the child ‘messed’ with her makeup.
Michelle Grace, a 23-year-old US YouTuber who specializes in make-up, has deleted the video which features her daughter wailing in the background.
‘Ya’ll hear that right?’ Grace tells her viewers. ‘My two-year-old just got her a** beat because no matter how many times I tell her not to mess with my make-up, she never f***ing listens.’
The mother describes how her daughter had wrecked her Jeffree Star Cosmetics Alien palette, worth around $50.

The mother continues: ‘My hand hurts because I just beat the cr** out of her, not literally, but I taught her a lesson, because I’ll be damned if she’s going to walk all over me.’
She clarifies that she usually doesn’t hit her child and if she does it’s ‘just a pop and she cries for like five seconds.’
Grace goes on to describe how infuriating it is that her two-year-old plays with her expensive make-up.
The blogger said: ‘When you work your butt off for something, and you save up to buy something, it’s literally like a child. You treat it like a child.’
The shocking video – and a subsequent apology by Grace on Twitter – have since been deleted following a backlash.
One YouTube user commented: ‘This is so strange too, how she’s saying that the palettes are her children; it’s like dude you have an actual child.’
‘Ya’ll hear that right?’ Grace tells her viewers. ‘My two-year-old just got her a** beat because no matter how many times I tell her not to mess with my make-up, she never f***ing listens’
Another wrote: ‘The fact that her hand hurts after abusing a child, speak volumes about how horribly she abused this poor baby!!’
Grace tweeted: ‘What I did should have never been done. I acted out of emotions and had a lapse in judgement. That being said, I’m truly sorry if it all came off the wrong way. It was [a] poor choice of words and I admit that.
‘I should not have made it seem like materialistic things were more important than her because trust me, they’re not. I realise now where I went wrong. I love her more than everything and everyone. I always have.’
