A single Alabama mother went viral on TikTok after claiming Gov. Kay Ivey called the Department of Human Resources on her for telling the governor “how the ‘middle class’ is struggling.”

But Ivey denied the TikToker’s allegation and said Emily Davis misinterpreted the governor’s letter.

“If you live in Alabama and if you’re struggling, you have children, you’re a single parent, whatever, please watch this video,” Davis said in the TikTok posted to her account on Sunday.

The post has been viewed more than 231,000 times and has been shared more than 16,000 times. Nearly 28,000 accounts have liked the video.

Last month, Davis said, she reached out to the governor to tell her “how the ‘middle class’ is struggling and how there needs to be a rent cap, how there needs to be more assistance than what there is, and there really is no middle class anymore. We’re just dying. Like, we’re struggling, we can’t even afford to pay our rent. We can’t afford to feed ourselves. Like, we cannot afford anything.”

Davis said the governor responded.

“And in this letter, she essentially tells me that DHR is there and I could put my kid up for foster care or adoption, and that since I reached out to her with concerns of financial wellbeing that she called DHR on me,” Davis said.

“I don’t give a s— she called DHR, but it’s just that’s what you do when people reach out to you and let you know how the middle class is surviving…? You tell me to put my kid up for adoption or utilize foster care? And be like, ‘OK, we’re calling DHR.’”

“Ma’m, I don’t qualify for 90% of these programs that you listed. That’s the point,” Davis said. “That is the point, Gov. Kay Ivey with no children.”

Gina Maiola, a spokeswoman for Ivey, said Davis twisted the meaning of the governor’s response when Ivey’s office wrote Davis’ information was “shared … with DHR for review.”

“The Governor’s Office shared the constituent’s name and contact information with DHR so that they could reach out and potentially be helpful,” Maiola said.

“The Governor’s Office’s intent was very simply to connect an Alabamian in need with potential state agency resources that may be helpful,” she continued. “And the bottom line is that Governor Ivey and her Administration are committed to serving Alabamians in need; that means being responsive and connecting people to resources.”
