Ms. Rachel Shifts the Spotlight from Celebrity Gossip to the Children of Gaza
Let’s talk about something that matters—not what a celebrity mom thinks of a kids' YouTube show, but the fact that there are children in Gaza right now who are suffering beyond imagination. Ms. Rachel, the beloved children’s educator behind the massively popular YouTube channel Songs for Littles , recently found herself caught up in a wave of online headlines because Olivia Munn said she doesn’t let her kids watch her show. And you know what? Ms. Rachel didn’t bat an eye about that. Instead, she used the moment to call out the media for focusing on celebrity gossip instead of real human suffering.

When People and Parents Magazine posted about Munn’s offhand comments—about how kids' shows make her feel "crazy"—Ms. Rachel responded not with outrage over the critique, but with a powerful request: “I’d rather you cover my advocacy for kids in Gaza.” That’s it. No drama. Just a plea for the media to shift its attention from clickbait to a humanitarian crisis.
She followed up on her own Instagram, clarifying that her disappointment was aimed at the media, not Olivia Munn personally. “All my love to her and her family,” she wrote, before doubling down on what truly matters: the thousands of children suffering under bombardment in Gaza—many without food, medical care, homes, or safety. One of those children, a three-year-old named Rahaf, lost both legs in an airstrike. Ms. Rachel sang “Hop Little Bunnies” with her in a video that brought millions to tears. That is what she wants us to be talking about.
And let’s be clear—this is not new for her. Since May 2024, Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, has been using her platform to advocate for Palestinian children. She’s raised funds, shared personal stories, and posted messages of unity and peace. She’s also faced backlash—some of it fierce. A pro-Israel group even pushed for an investigation, accusing her of spreading propaganda. But Ms. Rachel didn’t back down. In fact, she said clearly in an interview with NPR, “I would risk everything to speak up for all kids.”
This is about more than one entertainer’s viewing preferences. It’s about priorities—ours as a society and especially the media’s. Ms. Rachel is urging us to look beyond the headlines that feed our celebrity culture and focus instead on the children whose voices aren’t being heard. And honestly? She's right. If we can spend time debating what cartoons are acceptable in Hollywood households, we can definitely spend more time amplifying the stories of children in crisis.
So next time we see a headline about a so-called celebrity feud, maybe let’s pause and ask: are we paying attention to what really matters? Because Ms. Rachel sure is—and she’s using her voice not to defend her brand, but to protect children most of the world has forgotten.
