Children’s content creator Ms Rachel is facing heavy backlash after liking an antisemitic comment on social media, which she claims was an accident.
Ms Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Accurso, stated: “So, I thought I deleted a comment, and I accidentally hit like and hide.”
She continued in an emotional spiel: “I don’t know how or why I’ve accidentally liked comments before, it happens, I’m [a] human who makes mistakes,” Accurso said. “I would never agree with an antisemitic thing like the comment. We have Jewish family, a lot of my friends are Jewish.”
Accurso further claimed that she had proof that the comment had been deleted. “I delete antisemitic comments. I have proof because yesterday somebody messaged me there was a comment that said that. So, I said, ‘Yes, I saw it, and I deleted it’ because that’s what I thought happened. And then I said I hate antisemitism.”
According to Accurso, after seeing this blunder picked up across the internet, she feels that people cannot “be human” in today’s society.
“I’m so sorry for the confusion I caused. I’m so sorry if anyone thought I would ever agree with something horrible and antisemitic like that…It is okay to be human. It’s okay to make mistakes. And I’m old, so I am not as good with touching things online.”
She then spoke about her “advocacy,” potentially referring to her prior consistent pro-Palestinian messaging.
Let’s just say Ms. Rachel’s apology was absolutely fake. If a kid came to her and apologised like that, she wouldn’t accept it. pic.twitter.com/LKrI2KRFiq

“My advocacy is wonderful and beautiful. And I’m so proud of it. And there’s nothing wrong with it. And it shouldn’t be controversial to say how kids deserve to be treated. Everyone who knows me knows that I would never like that.”
This latest controversy comes right after Accurso teamed up with New York City’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, to promote socialistic, universal childcare to a group of toddlers.
