Claudia Artiles, a Cuban influencer, shared an update from her home following her son Marlon's hospitalization for pneumonia and an ear infection. In a video posted on TikTok, the young mother assured that the boy “is improving,” is receiving antibiotics, and is in recovery with a positive spirit.

But the good news was accompanied by a strong response to the criticism she has received regarding her role as a mother. In particular, Claudia reacted to a comment questioning her for "not paying attention to the child" and for "prioritizing social media." Her response quickly went viral.

“Let me ask you a question. It’s 11:52, is your son having a beef soup for lunch at this hour? No, right? Well, mine is, because he has a mother who takes care of him,” Artiles said, clearly upset, and added: “My son receives all the attention in the world. If he’s not with me, he’s with his father or his nanny.”

Furthermore, she defended her work as a content creator: “Social media is my job; I’m not going to abandon it because that’s what I do. I stopped featuring Marlon in the lives because it made my life unbearable… Get off my back.”

The response generated an avalanche of reactions: some users criticized her tone, but the majority came to her defense. Comments like "you are a great mother," "don't let them attack you," and "people don't understand that this is your way of working" flooded the replies section.

Claudia also responded to her followers, clarifying that she is not affected by the attacks: “I respond to a few each month because it brings in money, not because it bothers me. At this point, nothing bothers me from those old gossips,” she wrote with irony.

Amid the controversy, the influencer did not stop expressing gratitude to those who have been concerned about her son's health. “He is improving, in good spirits. He is on antibiotics twice a day,” she affirmed.
