A mom who went viral after she called out her son's stepdad and stepmom over a Christmas portrait is setting the record straight - and explaining what really happened.
After a photo of her five-year-old son went viral because his stepmom and dad didn't get him matching pajamas for a family photoshoot, the boy's mom took to TikTok to share the full story.
Nursing student Taylor, who goes by the username @craveslim on social media, explained that 'the internet takes things and flips it.'
In the photo, her son, Trü, was seen alongside his dad, stepmom and two step siblings, who were all in matching green pajamas.
Trü sat in the middle, wearing a pair of black pajamas that read, 'Christmas Crew' on them.
Taylor began the video by explaining that she and her ex have a set schedule, where Trü will to be with his dad every other weekend.
But on December 19, Taylor's ex wanted to take him for an additional weekend, which she allowed.
He communicated that Trü would need his hair done before coming to stay with him, but never said anything about the family taking a Christmas picture, which took place on Saturday the 21.

She explained that on Christmas Day, she received the pictures from Dad.
'I'm like okay, cute, but why doesn't my son have on the same pajamas on as everyone else?' Taylor wondered, explaining that the pajamas Trü wore were the ones that he was meant to sleep in that night.
In response, her ex said that the pajamas were out of stock, while Taylor told him that it was 'dead wrong' to have him excluded like that, to which her ex never responded.
Taylor then took to Facebook to share her concerns about the situation, asking if she was in the wrong for feeling upset about the situation.
After receiving floods of comments, Taylor then posted the Christmas pictures to Facebook, being careful to block out the rest of the children in the snap.
'I sent those from home," Taylor said of Trü's pajamas in a second follow-up video.
'They are something to sleep in, not take professional photos in. My son could have [at] least got a fresh new set of pajamas,' she continued.
'The first picture is just to show that everyone has the same set except for my kid.'

She explained that her entire problem with the situation was that her son did not match the rest of the family.
'The pictures were already booked on Dad's free weekend,' Taylor explained.
'Dad was already not supposed to have my kid,' she continued.
'My kid was never supposed to be there. Therefore, my kid was never a part of the plan. I just feel like Dad should have just left his son at home with me and all of this would have just been avoided.'
She said that everyone should have had new pajamas for the shoot if they wanted to include Trü, explaining that the boy's dad had plenty of time to find matching pajamas.
Finally, the nursing student also clarified that she isn't putting the blame on the stepmom here, after she made a post in response to Taylor.
'I also said I didn’t feel comfortable with him not matching but it was tooo late because our shoot was literally mins away & I DEFINITELY didn’t know he was going to be in our pictures and the MOTHER THAT I AM I WOULD NEVERRRRRRRR EVERRRR LEAVE HIM OUT & I never did,' the step mother, Riya Lee, wrote on the social media platform.
However, Taylor insisted that she never blamed Riya.
In order to ensure that he had a good Christmas holiday, she surprised him with matching pajamas and other fun activities like drinking hot chocolate together
'I never attacked her, the internet blamed her,' Taylor said.
'I've never blamed her, I've always blamed Dad from the jump,' she added.
DailyMail.com reached out to Taylor and Riya for comment.
Speaking to People, Taylor said that her son felt 'not good' about not matching with the rest of his family.
In order to ensure that he had a good Christmas holiday, she surprised him with matching pajamas and other fun activities like drinking hot chocolate together.
