A Florida nurse lost her job after posting a vulgar TikTok video targeting White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who is pregnant, leading her employer to terminate her employment.
The video, which rapidly gained attention online, featured offensive language and personal criticism directed at Leavitt. Hospital administrators reviewed the social media post and determined it violated professional standards expected of healthcare staff.
Officials from the medical facility said the nurse’s actions on social media reflected poorly on the organization and did not align with its conduct policies, prompting her dismissal to uphold workplace expectations and maintain public trust.
The incident sparked discussion about how personal social media behavior can affect professional standing, particularly for individuals in public-facing and caregiving roles. Leavitt has not publicly responded to the video or the firing.
