After coming under fire for alleged comments to a child about an OnlyFans account, the mom has claimed Matt Rife is still refusing to apologize.
Rife has faced fiery backlash from some people in recent weeks after his Netflix special, Natural Selection, aired and included jokes about domestic violence and shared a descriptive anecdote about a waitress having a black eye, following with ‘I just wanted to see if ya’ll are fun.’
Later in the show, he shared his distain for women who take an interest in crystal healing, saying: “It’s not because of astrology or Mercury’s retrograde why you don’t have a man — it’s your own decisions, your mind, and heart why you don’t have a relationship.”

After coming across the clip online, TikToker Bunny Hedaya decided to light heartedly quip back and make a response video with her son.
In the clip, the 6-year-old looks at the camera and corrects the comedian, saying: "Actually, it's Saturn that has the rings. It has more [visible ones] also... And, you're mean to girls."
Rife, who by his own admission has a hard time ignoring comments, is said to have responded to the video in a since-deleted comment, writing: "Jupiter also has (a) ring. OH!... and Santa [Claus] isn't real. Your mom buys you presents with the money she makes on OnlyFans. Good luck."
Despite a polarising reaction to his response, the mother told TMZ that Rife hasn’t come forward with an apology, and said she would only accept one in the form of ‘changed behaviour, namely, switching up the way he speaks about women.’
She said that he doesn’t seem like the type of guy who would take accountability and thinks he needs to look deep inside himself to figure out why there’s ‘so much aggression towards women and children there and attempt to heal.’
She stated that she was surprised he actually responded, as it was meant to be a ‘light hearted response but obviously he didn’t take it that way.’ We're choosing to ignore the irony of this comment.
While Rife remains seemingly unfazed, comments on X quickly started rolling in, with one saying: ‘That’s actually unhinged for a grown man to say to a child!’
Another shared how ‘We really have witnessed the rise and fall of Matt Rife', adding: "imagine getting that big and throwing it away within a year or two?"
