Mom of TikTok's Bella Brave Responds to Vicious Online Bullying of Daughter: 'Ignite a Change' (Exclusive)


Kyla Thomson and her daughter, known as "Bella Brave" on TikTok, recently faced an online bully who pretended to be scared by the 10-year-old's appearance. Several other creators — and Kyla herself — came to the defense of Bella, who was born with Hirschsprung’s disease and severe combined immunodeficiency.

Viral sensation Bella Thomson isn't letting any online critics have a say in what she posts on social media, but she and her mom hope their content helps some negative minds think twice. Kyla Thomson’s 10-year-old daughter, who is known to their 7 million TikTok followers as "Bella Brave," has captured hearts online with her high spirits and confidence despite her multiple critical medical conditions. After one person made a video acting startled by the preteen's appearance in the frame, well-known TikTokers like Jen Hamilton and “Mama Tot” Ophelia Nichols were quick to defend Bella, who lives with Hirschsprung’s disease and severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).
