A single mom influencer is being slammed for asking for donations from her followers after posting about spending $17,000 in one month.
Online critics have taken aim at Adrielle Zigler, 33, who regularly gets millions of views on TikTok, for asking strangers to donate while admitting to such high living costs.
Sigler created a GoFundMe to raise $30,000 on May 2 to help cover the costs of moving after her son was allegedly attacked in their town of Jamestown, New York, and has a separate fundraiser to help cover the costs of her sons braces.
However, the influencer is facing scrutiny for her reliance on the generosity of others after she posted a video just three days earlier claiming to have spent $17,000 in one month.
‘This month I spent close to $17,000. I’m a single stay-at-home mom of three, so I’m financially responsible for three little humans,’ Sigler said.

‘If you’re a single mom and you’re supporting three kids, then some months—you know, rent is due, and your car needs to be fixed—you can easily spend $15-$20,000 a month.’
Sigler said she pays her rent in advance, although she did not specify how much, and that it was due in April. She said she paid nearly $5,000 to have her car repaired and an additional $1,000 for a rental car while it was getting fixed.
The mom said she spent an additional $1,600 on summer clothes for her kids, $3,000 on groceries, $800 on DoorDash and dining at restaurants, and a couple hundred dollars on gas.
Additionally, she paid for her car payment and $800 on her utility bills as well as internet, five phone bills, subscriptions and in-app purchases. She also included allowances for her children and Amazon purchases including beauty products, home goods and supplements in the total breakdown.
‘You don’t have to put them in sports but you should if you want your kids to be happy. I’m generous. I’m super generous. I invest all of my time into making a living through social media. And in return, that goes back to my kids,’ Sigler said.
Sigler is a single mom of three kids and said she spent $17,000 in April to pay for rent, getting her car fix, buying her children new phones and covering day to day expenses
‘I wouldn’t be a good parent if I just let my kids live in the bare minimum that’s not…who the f**k wants to do that?’
Viewers have since come to realize that Sigler has the potential to be hauling in big figures through her social media accounts and question why she has multiple fundraiser pages.
Sigler created GoFundMe with a target of $30,000 after her son was allegedly attacked in an after school fight and she decided the family needed to move for their safety.
According to the 33-year-old, her son was beat up and robbed on May 2 by a group of students who threated to come to their house if he told anyone what happened to him.
‘Our lives have become at risk living in Jamestown, New York. We have to move as soon as possible. My son was brutally assaulted May 2, 2024,’ the page states.
‘Please help us move as soon as possible,’ she writes on the page, with herself nominated as the organizer and the beneficiary.’
Sigler claimed to have filed a police report and the Jefferson Middle School students were suspended for their involvement in the fight.
In a video Sigler is seen having a discussion with school officials as they advised her son was also suspended for five days. The video shows her being told that following a thorough investigation and interviews with other students, it was deemed by staff he had agreed to participate in an organized fight, which Sigler and her son deny.

Critics, including TikToker ConspiraTea (pictured), have slammed Sigler for asking for donations when she appears to spend money lavishly
WNY News Now reported that Jamestown police charged seven individuals involved in an assault at Allen Park, which is located near the school, on the day of the fight.
Critics have slammed Sigler for asking for donations when she appears to spend money lavishly.
In a recent TikTok she claims to have secured a new home and paid for the lease in advance. She said she is on vacation while the current tenants move out and has been seen in footage which appears to be taken in a hotel.
On Facebook, Sigler posted she was giving away multiple items including a bunk bed, couch, rug and book shelf – instead if selling them.
‘The audacity to create a $30,000 GoFundMe when she posted a video talking about how she spent $17,000,’ said one TikToker.
Others have accused her of misusing the money she asks for and even exploiting her son’s fight to make money.
