TikTok mom posts ‘wicked’ warning to parents after claiming ‘witchcraft’ in video caused her 12-year-old to try to fly off the roof on a broomstick

A mother on TikTok controversially warned other parents that “Wicked” just isn’t a family film like its closely related and popular predecessor “The Wizard of Oz.”

The latest film, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as Glinda (the good witch) and Elphaba (the evil witch), respectively, hit theaters on Friday, November 22.

However, according to content creator Sammyopamp, who claims to have attended the film’s premiere with her children, the literary work has enchanted the youth in the worst possible way.

“I feel very lied to and cheated into doing this. I believed that since my kids are huge fans of Ariana Grande and he or she wears pink in the movie, I believed it might be a cool princess movie. Instead, it was stuffed with witchcraft and dark magic. I felt this heavy presence and energy all the time,” he said.

The mother continued to explain the lasting impact the film had on her children, stating that “they came home and everyone was trying to cast spells” and that “now they imagine in magic. Now they imagine in the darkness of hell.”

Sammyopamp noted, “My 12-year-old fell off the roof trying to fly his broom.” To turn the tables, she shared her plan to rely on religion and her savior, “their father, baby daddy Jesus,” by taking a week off from school and receiving prayers from the “deliverance team” at their church.

Her parting advice to other mothers was to stay home and protect their kids from “Wicked” until January 5, when it would likely be safer to watch it.

One person on Instagram commented“I tried casting spells after watching Harry Potter. It’s normal, like a girl would leave her children alone.”

But in Sammy’s TikTok comments videosome selected this satirical story. One follower asked: “Have you seen the art? Wicked is not a film for children,” apparently putting the burden on her. A 3rd person’s response was, “This must be a joke.” And so it was.

The “Wicked” comment was one in all several satirical posts Sammy shared with her over 21,000 followers. She addressed the outraged reactions to her disturbing warning in a separate article post.

She first revealed that she grew up in an clan of evangelical extremists and was not allowed to watch fantasy childhood movies that many love, including Disney movies.

“Honestly, I have a lot of fun making sketches and satirical videos,” she said. “If that’s not your thing, there are plenty of other people on TikTok who might like it. … If you like harmless laughter, stay a while.”

Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of the Broadway play “Wicked” grossed greater than $100 million on its opening weekend.
