Kat is Open To New Experiences

Aside from having to deal with her single life again, Kat had to deal with internet trolls among other problems. She opened up about the backlash she received because of her breakup announcement.

They feel like they own you because they made you. Especially now with announcing a breakup publicly, a lot of backlash for acting like I was happy. That kind of surprised me. Then I remember feeling for feeling happy...

Kat continued saying that people would always have something negative to say and that you just have to not let it make you feel bad.

Instead of focusing on the negative aspects, she is directing her attention to her daughter and self-care. She also expressed that she was open to new experiences, to grow and find her niche and build a community.

Finding Her Niche

Kat had previously explained that coming up with video ideas had gotten harder for her as she wanted a new theme.

While she hasn’t settled on what her new theme will be, she doesn’t want to shy away from her previous content as she loves making people laugh.

TikTok Goes Viral After Separation

Just about two months from when they announced their split, which was in March 2021, Kat and Mike Stickler are going viral again. But not for their relationship this time around. This time, it's because of a TikTok video Katherine made in December 2020.

The video is a prank where Kat replaces her daughter MK with another baby and puts one of MK's bows on her. Then she secretly sets up a camera in their living room and hilarity unfolds from there.

Why did I think he wouldn’t notice 🤦ðŸÂ»‍♀ï¸Â #coupleprank #momsoftiktok #4u #fyp #reaction ♬ original sound - Kat

Kat rolls the new baby on a stroller over to Mike, her husband at the time, and he is dumbfounded. After looking at the baby for just a while, he recognizes that she's not MK and starts panicking.

He starts asking questions about where MK is and if it was a prank. Finally, Kat gives in and admits it's a prank, proceeding to apologize multiple times for the mini heart attack she had just given him.
