Big Brother star Skye Wheatley slammed after filming son's tantrum in Kmart
The reality star was unfazed by criticism, turning the incident into a meme.
Big Brother star Skye Wheatley has been called out on Instagram after posting a video of her son having a tantrum at Kmart.
The influencer posted a clip of her son, Bear, 2, rolling around the ground in Kmart screaming while Skye attempted to get him to calm down.
The Daily Mail reported that the young mum initially tried to calm Bear down, asking him to stand up.
"Calm down. Are you going to stop throwing it on the ground? Stand up please," Skye was heard saying.
Skye then said if he jumped up off the floor he could have the item he wanted.
It was the filming of the event that caused social media users to call out the influencer saying that matters probably weren't helped by putting a "phone in his face".
"Imagine feeling some big emotions as an adult and someone holding a phone in your face to record you because, 'I'm showing real life,'" one person commented.
"As a mum-of-three there’s no way I would have bought him anything after throwing a tantrum like that," another criticised.
While the original video isn't on her feed, she later posted a meme version of it, with the caption, "Honestly I can't breathe call the doc, this sends me."

"Give him an Oscar, darl! What a bloody masterpiece!!" another person wrote.
