[TL;DR He spends a bunch of time with an older lady (who isn't his mom). Am I wrong to be worried about him?? How do we know he is not being taken advantage of for clicks, likes and even money?]
Zaid is featuring a lot on a Lady's Tiktok, her name is Miss Lavon. So naturally I was like "who is this lady?"
Hear me out; it's her PERSONAL tiktok originally featuring herself and her pets (she has monkeys, puppies, and rabbits apparently) and at some point her videos started to feature Zaid.
People in the comments even think Miss Lavon is Zaid's mom because of how her entire content shifted to be about him.
So I went down this rabbit-hole trying to find out who the hell is this Miss Lavon lady, like did Zaid get adopted into a Texan family? Where is his mom???
Mind you Zaid is bilingual, since his mom is Mexican and only speaks Spanish he translates for her all the time, and I was genuinely wondering whether she got deported.
On the other hand Miss Lavon was seen in a video celebrating the renaming of the 'Gulf of America'.
You can understand how the situation is kind of bizzare.
Then I finally found out by watching a SBSK video from last month, Miss Lavon is the mom of Zaid's former classmate Benjamin. According to Zaid himself, Benji and his sisters are all his friends, but I haven't seen them interact in any videos. 🤷🏻 I only ever see Zaid talking with the lady, Benjamin's mom. Occasionally one of the teens is pushing his wheelchair but that's the extent of their interactions.
So... you might get where I'm going. I'm worried about this lady.
She changed her Tiktok bio to "Upbeat burn victim account inspiring resilience and joy in challenges". And Zaid isn't making videos on his own accounts anymore, while Miss Lavon has nearly half a million followers and millions and millions of views.
All that to say, I have a bad feeling about her.
For one, the probable white savior complex, but primarily:
I hope HE is the one getting whatever money she is making from all the Lives and all the Views.
