TikTok Influencer Sparks Social Media War With Her Dad, He Responds By Claiming He Shelled Out Millions

We have some serious family drama unfolding on social media involving TikTok star Madi Hart and her dad.

For those of you who might remember, Madi was the woman who went mega-viral after sharing a video about going on a date with a traditionally masculine man.

It's really not clear whether she was being serious, but people loved the video. I'll be the first to admit, her content is pretty funny, and she seems to know how to gin up interest.

However, things have taken a dark turn recently, and she's hunkered down in a Stalingrad-style social media feud with her father - Bitcoin enthusiast and breakdancer Ben Hart.

Madi Hart sparks viral feud with her father.

It all started when Hart shared a now-viral video on TikTok seen more than five million times claiming her dad abandoned the family to pursue breakdancing.

"He may not have paid for some of my medical bills growing up, but he did give me some of this breakdancing merchandise," Hart said while showing off a t-shirt featuring her dad.

Hart, who was in high spirits in the video, didn't leave much wiggle room with her claims. You can watch the video that started it all below.

Well, things got very interesting when Ben Hart released a video of his own Sunday, which has been viewed more than 6.7 million times on X.

Not only did he dispute the claim he abandoned the family to become a dancer, Madi's father claims he shelled out roughly $5 million in the divorce between alimony, child support, medical bills and a one-time $2 million payment to his ex-wife.

Ben also claimed he simply lived down the street. Interesting. Very interesting. Looks like we have a classic internet standoff.

Well, buckle up because we're officially off to the races. Madi fired back like it was a rap beef gone wrong late Sunday night with a second video. Her message? Ben Hart is lying through his teeth.

""I know my dad posted, like, a 10 minute video or whatever being like, 'You know, my daughter is lying. We have a great relationship. I have a great relationship with all my kids.' That's just objectively not true. Like, guys, we're all freaking out about this in my family group chat right now. We're being like, 'He's so unhinged and delusional.' We don't know if he actually believes his own narrative or if he's lying on purpose," the rising social media star explained.

She further added, "He truly had no hand in raising us at all. We don't speak with any sort of regularity. He doesn't know when my birthday is."

She also doubled down on the claim her dad didn't cover her medical expenses when she asked for help in college - a claim they don't seem to agree on. Madi also noted she could have been way meaner in the original video due to the alleged darkness of the truth.

You can watch her full response below.

This is a tough look for both.

Obviously, I don't know whose version of the truth in this social media slapfight is more accurate. Just off the videos, I will say Madi Hart certainly comes off a lot more convincing and passionate. She seems *VERY* bothered in her follow-up post and that's emotion that isn't easy to fake.

Having said that, this is a bad look for everyone involved. Social media drama is almost never worth it. It's just not, and this situation is a prime example of why it should be avoided.

Madi Hart is in a public feud with her father, who she clearly doesn't feel close to at all. It's honestly just kind of sad.

Here's some free advice to everyone. Handle your family disputes in private. Get on the phone, talk it out and definitely don't take it to social media where it will get millions and millions of views. There are no winners in a situation like this. It's mutually assured destruction and both sides have now launched nukes. De-escalate and turn the phones off. That goes for Madi Hart, her dad and everyone else reading this.
