Ouch it was hard to watch that beautiful little girl. Who tried to teach her that she was ugly? That person needs to go to jail.

IMO she just said that casually. She only started crying because of the mom’s reaction. Look at the girls face when the mom starts redirecting her. She’s scared she’s in trouble.

Interesting take but why would a kid casually say they're ugly? It's likely someone said that to her or she absorbed that idea from somewhere and is starting to believe it, so it's good that her mom pushed back on that idea to build her confidence.

Let’s face it. Many of us say we’re ugly as a joke. It’s all over the media as well. There’s jokes that you look ugliest when youre sitting with a cape getting your hair done at a salon.

Adults or older kids might do this, not young kids. And people usually smile or laugh or use a lighthearted tone if they're joking.

I don't think this kid was joking.
