All Of The Best Reactions To The Infamous BBC Dad Interview

Initially, the family faced some controversy on social media. Critics called Kelly’s initial reaction to push Marion out of the shot harsh, and many people made the racist assumption that Kelly’s wife was the nanny. But in a follow-up interview, the family set the record straight.

“We said to each other, ‘Wow, what just happened?’ ” Kelly told the Wall Street Journal. “I made this minor mistake [of not locking the door] that turned my family into YouTube stars. It’s pretty ridiculous.” In a follow-up interview with the BBC, he added that people’s assumptions about his wife made them “pretty uncomfortable.” Overall though, the couple said that people’s reactions have been supportive. In a statement, they said they were “flattered by the many gentle sentiments,” they’ve recieved from around the world, per the Huffington Post.

Asked about his daughter’s incredible swagger, Kelly explained that she was in a “hippity-hoppity mood” after a school party earlier that day, according to the Telegraph.

The video has even inspired some pretty great spoofs—like how a mom would handle the same situation. One video shows a mom handling the tots and diffusing a bomb without breaking her concentration for the interview.

The family has become so notorious, they even had a press conference to talk about the video with the South Korean media. It should come as no surprise that Marion and her sass was the total star. Can we get some of this girl’s swagger? Confidence #goals.
