A woman’s controversial video addressing the complex ethics of infidelity and parental responsibility sparked a fierce debate across social media.

The candid clip, shared on TikTok by @oratie_mogoru, garnered massive views, likes, and comments from viewers who shared the same sentiments, and others who focused on the difficult boundaries of loyalty in relationships marked by cheating.

The video began with the woman stating she came in peace, acknowledging that women who date married men do not owe the wives any loyalty. She, however, raised a critical point directed at those who choose to have a “love child” with married men and then believe the wife owes their child love or support. She urged these women to “keep the same energy,” asserting that the wife does not owe the child anything, as the mother was fully aware that the man was unavailable.

The woman addresses side chicks

The woman, TikTok user @oratie_mogoru, questioned how such a situation could be navigated, asking viewers if a side partner could force someone else (the wife) to love a child who serves as a constant, painful reminder of the husband's infidelity. She concluded with a firm final reminder, reminding the side chicks that they don't owe the wives anything, and that the wives also don’t owe their love child anything.

SA supports the woman’s views

The comments section was filled with reactions from social media users who mostly agreed with the speaker's core message. Many viewers noted how it is always the children born in such situations who suffer the most because of the adults' decisions.

Some argued that if the relationship began and was maintained as a secret from the wife, then every resulting consequence, including the child, should also remain a secret. One viewer shared a heartbreaking story of enduring her father's infidelity, which resulted in children out of wedlock, noting that her own mother has not recovered from the betrayal even after 10 years.

"Children are innocent" 🙄. Well, innocence is subjective and a social construct, varying based on context, culture, and individual perspective."
