Amy Shark is slammed for baby shaming a mum on a flight in a TikTok video – as fans point out one embarrassing detail in the singer’s clip

by

Amy Shark is facing criticism after a TikTok video showed her seemingly criticizing a mother on a flight for her baby’s behavior.

In the video, Amy Louise Billings, a 39-year-old judge on Australian Idol, appears annoyed by a nearby baby’s loud crying.

In a video, the singer playfully pouts at the camera while her baby cries loudly. She captioned it with a sarcastic ‘yay’.

People commented on Amy’s post, calling her ‘unkind’ and ‘rude’ for sharing the video.

Damn that’s rude of you,’ wrote one, while another said: ‘That’s pretty unkind?’

Someone else commented that they sympathized with the situation, explaining how stressful it is to desperately try and calm a baby on a plane without success, and then went on to criticize Amy.

‘Parents aren’t ignoring it, they’re overwhelmed. This video is sh**ty.’

One parent commented that videos like this actually make flying with a baby even more stressful, especially since parents are already doing their best to manage.

Lots of people felt bad for the mother, and offered suggestions like helping her out or understanding how overwhelmed she must be.

People noticed Amy was wearing high-end noise-cancelling headphones, and they were confused why she would be bothered by the crying at all.

I’ve been seeing a lot of questions lately about noise-cancelling headphones not actually cancelling noise, and honestly, it’s a really common issue! People are expressing frustration – things like ‘My expensive headphones aren’t blocking out sound!’ or simply asking if their noise cancellation is supposed to be working at all. It’s a valid concern, and we’ll definitely be diving into why that happens and how to troubleshoot it.

Okay, so someone actually asked Amy if her post… didn’t go over well? Like, they were gently suggesting it flopped? I’m obsessed with knowing exactly what she meant by it, and this just makes me need to dissect it even more! It’s killing me that she might have been trying to be funny and it just… didn’t connect. I need answers!

Honestly, when I saw that comment, it just broke my heart! Someone else gets it – it was SO out of character, I couldn’t believe my idol would even try to make that kind of joke. I was completely shocked, and that comment perfectly summed up how I felt – totally unexpected and…disappointing, to be honest.

‘I’m trying to figure out if you did this as satire or [if] you’ve changed?’ 

I was really stunned back in July when Amy responded to a nasty online troll by saying she honestly didn’t care if he ‘lived or dies’. It was a pretty shocking thing to hear, and honestly, while I understand wanting to defend yourself, it definitely took me by surprise.

She made the comment after she shared a video of herself performing one of her old tunes.

A man named Rupert criticized the singer’s trademark hairstyle, a bun, writing, “Seriously, get rid of the bun.”

She was quick to shut him down in her fiery response.

Okay, so I was just chilling at home, hair tied back because, seriously, no one needs hair in their food, right? And honestly? I couldn’t care less what happens to you. Just putting that out there. 🤷‍♀️ It’s not personal, just… true.

The award-winning artist responded again to the online criticism, posting a second video to address the situation.

Amy started her video by explaining that someone left a comment for her a few nights ago. She usually doesn’t read comments, but this one appeared while she was scrolling through TikTok.

‘I read it and thought “That’s not nice.”‘

Honestly, everything was pretty bad, but I accepted it all because I wasn’t particularly invested. I responded to him and completely dominated the conversation.

‘And now he’s all like “Aw but”,’ she pouted. ‘Don’t be an a**hole. I’m a bigger one.’
