An influencer has slammed a fellow TikToker for ruining her two-month-old's funeral by getting drunk, talking about sex acts in front of children and proclaiming that her baby will get 'so much p**y' in heaven.
Kimberley Summer Hartley - who goes by Veruca Salt online - was horrified when she was forced to grapple with her ex-friend's 'disgusting' behaviour while grieving her infant child.
He tragically passed away in his sleep, from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), in early 2024.
Taking to Instagram, the Australian-based social media creator recounted how Tasha Paige - who has more than 296,000 TikTok followers - told her that the late six-week-old had 'so many hot b****es' at his funeral and insisted on making a speech when she was asked not to.
Viewers have been left horrified, offering their sympathies that Veruca was forced to endure her friend 'getting wasted and making the funeral all about herself'.

Taking to Instagram , the Australian-based social media creator recounted how Tasha Paige (pictured) - who has more than 296,000 TikTok followers - told her that the late six-week-old had 'so many hot b****es' at his funeral and insisted on making a speech when she was asked not to.
While the funeral took place in February, six months ago, news of the events emerged last week after Tasha took to TikTok to complain she is 'frustrated' to be painted 'as a bad person'.
Earlier this month, the creator made a video about attending the baby shower and the immediate aftermath of it; while she didn't name Veruca, it was obvious the story was about her.
'Do you know what frustrates me for real,' she began. 'There was this person that I was friends with because they asked to hang out with me and I knew they didn't have that many friends.'
Tasha then recounted invited to Veruca's baby shower - claiming she 'spent all this money on gifts for the function' and 'didn't get any thank you'.
'They get some bad news,' she continued - likely referring to Cash's death at only six weeks old, 'I send them flower, teddies all this s**t and I just... I'm made out to be a bad person.'
'It's just so funny cause b***h I choose not to say anything but it's just like people stir s**t they like to stir the pot and I'm like stop stirring... 'cause I'll make it boil.
As reported by The Mary Sue, Veruca saw the video and - knowing it was about her - took to Instagram to share message screenshots between herself and Tasha.
In it, a text from Tasha looks to show her apologising for getting drunk and saying sorry if she was 'inappropriate' in any way in what appears to be the day after the funeral in February.

The next message is from Veruca - seemingly from this month - asking why Tasha was making a video about the funeral after 'ruining' her moment to grieve Cash.
Next came another TikTok from Tasha, where she revealed she got an abortion shortly before the funeral.
'Prior to the funeral I was pregnant,' she explained. 'Veruca and I were friends and I was talking to her about my pregnancy.
'So I ended going through and getting an abortion. Once I had the abortion I had a lot of emotions that I obviously was subconsciously not aware about.
'And those things kind of don't come up until you're put into a situation where it reminds you or triggers those emotions to come back up...'
She admitted she didn't 'think it was a good idea' to go a funeral right after she had an abortion, but wanted to 'be there for her friend'.
Tasha then said she asked Veruca what her favourite drink was, as she had already sent her flowers and a teddy - and ended up bringing a tequila bottle.
'Although people suggested that tequila isn't a good thing to give to a grieving mother, for one I didn't know that apparently she had substance abuse issues in the past,' she continued.
Tasha then claimed there was 'two massive slushy machine filled with vodka to the brim' at the funeral when she arrived and 'everyone was drinking alcohol', including Veruca, who she took shots of the liquor with.
Tasha started to get 'very emotional' and 'very worked up' as she's not used to drinking tequila - and was 'hysterical'.
The influencer said she 'wasn't even planning on drinking' at the funeral, but sent Veruca messages afterwards, trying to 'be accountable'.
She also said that her video 'ranting' about the gifts was in regards to the baby shower, not the funeral.

'I did apologise her, I sent her messages,' she said. 'At the end of the day I'm aware of my actions and there's not a lot that I can do now.'
Veruca responded with a notes app explanation of her side of the story on Instagram.
In it, she admitted to not being 'mentally there' for a month after her son's death, and 'just trying to get through every minute'.
When it came to the funeral, she said that among those invited - including Tasha - were her best friend and his family, her 30+ week pregnant sister, her grandmother, auntie, seven-year-old sister, family and friends.
As for the alcohol offered at the funeral, Veruca stressed there were two drink dispensers, one with vodka blue lemonade, which she also had at her baby shower, and the other a Caribbean punch 'because he's a little Jamaican baby'.
'NOBODY forced her to drink,' Veruca wrote. 'That was her choice. The entire funeral she is following me around and being extremely inappropriate.'
In one instance, she says Tasha was 'sat on the floor in a mini skirt, legs spread' talking about a sexual act.
'My seven year old sister is playing in the grass with my stepdad,' she said. 'My stepdad takes her inside obviously'.
She also revealed that Tasha told a relative of hers that she knew how Veruca felt because she 'just had an abortion' - which Veruca felt is 'not comparable'.
She also revealed that Tasha insisted on making a speech 'even though [Veruca] specifically told her not to'.
'She's drunk and leaning on the hearse with my dead son inside, talking about herself mostly,' she said.
Veruca was also horrified when Tasha told her Cash is 'gonna get so much p***y in heaven'. Video shared on social media also appears to confirm Tasha doing this.
The grieving mother was also shocked to see Tasha vlog her baby's funeral on TikTok the next day.
'Did she ask me if she could post something? Yes. Did I say yes? Yes,' Veruca admitted.
'Michael also asked me if he could post something, you know what he posted? A picture with my son on his story, like a normal person. He didn't secretly vlog the funeral and post it.'
She concluded that Tasha 'came for attention' and wants it again, six months after the funeral.
'There is no amount of texted apologies that will have me forging you,' she remarked.
MailOnline has reached out to Tasha for comment regarding allegations that she made sexually inappropriate comments.
Online viewers were horrified, calling Tasha's behaviour 'sickening'.
'Drunk or not, those comments are wild,' a comment on Veruca's post read. 'I'm so sorry that's happened to you and that it's all being brought up again six months later. I hope you're doing okay.'

'The comments when cash left in the hearse is disgusting,' another added. 'To a grieving mother, that is vile to say.'
A third penned: 'Those actions are so lacking in tact, empathy, compassion and respect. Truly hope you and your loved ones are able to remember and honour Cash’s memory purely and without distraction and disrespect.'
Some also took to TikTok to hit out at Tasha's videos, specifically her initial one from earlier this month.
'"They find out some bad news" like Veruca didn't find her baby dead?' @cerysclaire wrote in a post. 'I'm sure the flowers fixed everything Tasha babe.'
'I feel so bad for Veruca,' @sophiaemmet added. 'Her baby died which is so unbelievably heartbreaking in itself and then she couldn't even enjoy the funeral because Tasha had to get wasted and make it all about herself.'
Elsewhere @kiwisandmelons said: 'I didn't realise having your infant pass is "finding out some bad news" be so real.'
Tasha has repeatedly on social media insisted that there is nothing more she can say on the situation, other than that she has reached out to apologise and admits she shouldn't have attended the funeral.
In her most recent video on TikTok, she hit out at people who were sending her death threats.
She also addressed people remarking on her behaviour as being predatory towards minors, stating that 'making false allegations that she had anything to do with a seven year old child' is 'completely bulls**t'.
