“Unexpected” reality star Tyra Boisseau has recently sparked outrage among fans for monetizing the first look at her newborn son. The young mother has been under scrutiny for her decision to make her personal life a business affair.
In March, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Tyra Boisseau had gone off the social media radar, stirring up speculations. Some Reddit users claimed to have spotted Tyra, seemingly pregnant, with Alex Wilson, her intermittent beau. It was only a while later that Tyra confirmed the rumors with an Instagram maternity shoot at 31 weeks along. Tyra and Alex were already parents to a daughter, Layla, while Alex also has a son from a relationship with another woman, Hanna.
Unexpected: The Drama Unfolds
The identity of the baby boy’s father was initially a mystery, though it seemed Alex was the likely candidate. However, in a shocking revelation, Tyra disclosed that Alex had officially left her for Hanna. This, coupled with the traumatic loss of her house to a fire, left Tyra in a precarious situation, especially as she was expecting her second child. Despite the hurdles, she managed to give birth to her baby boy and made a surprising announcement.
Unexpected: Monetizing Motherhood
Tyra Boisseau declared that she’d be selling access to her newborn on TikTok. This meant followers eager to see her baby boy or obtain any information about him would need to subscribe to her channel. This move provoked widespread criticism among fans who took to Reddit to voice their discontent. Some called out her decision to go live so soon after delivery, others questioned her mental health, while a section of fans condemned the ‘exploitation’ of the newborn for monetary gains.

Unexpected: A Glimpse Into Tyra’s Struggles
Before we rush to judgement, it’s essential to remember the challenges Tyra Boisseau has faced recently. A devastating house fire in late May resulted in her losing everything. Her sister, Tiarra, even started a GoFundMe campaign with a target of $10,000, in hopes of helping Tyra Boisseau get back on her feet before her baby’s arrival. While they’ve collected over $8,200 so far, the goal is yet to be reached. Tyra’s controversial decision to monetize her baby’s first appearance might just be a desperate measure to make ends meet.
Despite the backlash, it remains to be seen how Tyra’s monetization efforts will pan out and whether the harsh criticism will impact her decisions in the future.
