Jen Arnold, star of The Little Couple, found herself in a position of damage control after her son Will Klein’s recent vulgar TikTok video made headlines. The former TLC stars have been grappling with the aftermath of the 13-year-old’s inappropriate social media activity. Jen has taken steps to address the situation and redirect the focus.
Will posted a TikTok dance video that included a song with inappropriate language, which drew attention from fans who questioned whether his parents monitored his social media pages. In response to the comments, Jen issued a statement on social media, apologizing on her son’s behalf and explaining how they plan to prevent such incidents in the future. She asked for grace from her followers as they navigate the challenges of social media with their son, and both she and Will deleted the offensive video.
To shift the narrative and provide a distraction from the negative comments, Jen shared a throwback video on her Instagram page. The video featured her children, Will and Zoey, reenacting scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean on Halloween several years ago. Jen may have chosen to share this lighthearted content following the discussion of a more serious topic. It’s possible that she stumbled upon the video again and couldn’t resist posting it.
In the caption, Jen wrote, “Sharing an old video but one that makes me smile – Will and Zoey recreating #piratesofthecaribbean.” The video showcased a young Will dressed as a pirate, while little Zoey wore a Belle (Beauty & the Beast) dress and joined in the fun.
Jen’s distraction tactic seemed to have worked, as the comments on the Halloween throwback video did not mention Will’s TikTok incident. Instead, fans focused on the adorable video and expressed their amazement at how much the children had grown. They reminisced about the kids’ first Halloween, which had been documented on TLC, and fondly recalled moments from their early trick-or-treating experiences.
Jen’s efforts to shift the attention to a more positive and innocent aspect of her family’s life appeared to have resonated with her fans, who engaged with the Halloween throwback video and embraced the joy it brought.
