Last summer, the popular YouTube children’s creator sparked a backlash on social media after posting a video celebrating Pride Month – and issued a message aimed at parents who took issue with his remarks.

The educational content creator, who is a viral sensation among babies and toddlers, apparently expected the fallout with some of her audience, later adding: “To those who are going to comment, they can no longer watch this show on because of this support, no worries and lots of love your way,” he said.
In 2023, Accurso said she was forced to take a “mental health break” after parents expressed outrage over co-star Jules Hoffman asking to be referred to by the pronouns “they” and “them” on the show . Hoffman is transgender and non-binary.

Accurso also came under scrutiny when he announced he was setting up a fundraiser to benefit children in conflict zones, including Gaza. Jewish mothers called out the YouTube sensation for not targeting Jewish children killed or taken hostage on October 7. Many others asked why Accurso was not raising money for Israeli children affected by the war. Accurso later disabled comments on the fundraising post and posted a statement on Instagram.
