Anyone who follows Mama Tot on TikTok knows that she is all about sharing positivity and love in every situation. Even during her most trying times, she was thinking about others and how to help them. Mama Tot, whose real name is Ophelia Nichols, is currently being cyberbullied and her fans and followers are supporting her every step of the way.
Ophelia Nichols Shares Her Cyber Stalking Story On Instagram
In a recent Instagram post, Nichols shares just what's been going on with her followers. "I'm asking this person to pls leave me alone," her caption began. "I have been cyber stalked & harassed since sept. We are almost in Dec. I am not responding, I am ignoring, I have remained silent & allowed this person to fabricate the most malicious lies they thought of but while doing so, I have allowed this individual to create more lies, conspiracy theories & defamatory statement against me. You try to ignore them but it gives them more space to do more harm."
She continued her caption by explaining the two photos she shared. "They clicked the 'tip' button on my Tiktok page. That doesn't show accurate information. They are claiming I made $3000 off a video that I bullied them. I've never bullied a soul on that app & never will. I did make a video in sept letting ppl know, 'hey, I'm being cyber stalked and harassed here and I don't really know what else to do.' This is factual information," she wrote. "I've stayed quiet, remained peaceful, not said a word. I've did everything the right way."
She then went on to discuss the second photo in the post. "The second picture of FACTUAL info shows the last few months what I have made in tips not from a video, but tips. Tips are sent by an individual to show support. So as you can see, it says 'year to date' that's how many tips have been sent in almost a year. Not the month of sept. it says I made $5...I made $5.00 in tips in sept."
"There Is Space In This World For Everything Good"
Nichols explains that she's not sure why this person chose to cyberbully her, and that this person was harassing her as she was facing her son's alleged killer in court. "You can understand where my mind was. They haven't stopped. I haven't even been able to grieve my baby child properly the past 3 months," her caption continued.
"I have cropped the persons info out for their privacy but if they see this which I'm sure they will, I'm asking you to leave me alone. I've done nothing to you." She concluded her caption in typical Mama Tot style saying, "There is space in this world for everything good so focus your time on that. This isn't the way to blessed along the way."
Mama Tot's loyal followers, and she has many of them with 10 million on TikTok and 374,000 on Instagram, came to her defense and showered her with the love she's always giving everyone else. A flood of support filled the comment section of the Instagram post. "People can be so cruel sometimes. Sending you love and big hugs ❤️," one follower wrote. Another added, "🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 im madder than a 1-legged man in a azz kickin contest!!🤬🤬🤬🤬"
Other followers suggested contacting a lawyer and filing charges against this person. "File harassment charges love. It's time. You have given this too much time and shouldn't have to deal with this," one person wrote, and another added, "Might be time to seek a lawyer & go after them for defamation & harassment if the police won’t do anything."
