The Whole Story Behind Aubreigh Wyatt Untimely Demise and Her Mom’s TikTok Video

If the hashtag #LLAW shows up on your social media feeds, you have heard about Aubreigh Wyatt. Miss., 13-year-old Ocean Springs, Miss., committed suicide on Sept. 4, 2023; since then, her story has gone far and wide.

Following her death, Aubreigh’s mother, Heather Wyatt, started talking about her loss and posting her daughter’s story on social media especially on TikHub especially on As Aubreigh’s name and pictures started to go viral, the hashtag #LLAW (Live Like Aubreigh Wyatt) started to trend too.

Newsweek claims Heather said at least four girls bullied Aubreigh, who was in eighth grade when she passed away, claiming constant bullying resulted in her daughter’s death. Heather has also urged responsibility among others.

Heather never publicly identified the four females she claimed to have bullied her daughter, but internet detectives found their names shared extensively and determined their identities. Online also published were supposed writings between Heather and Aubreigh about the claimed bullying.

According to the Washington Post, the four teenagers’ parents replied by suing Heather, claiming libel and defamation. According to the judge, who cited the outlet, Heather was also ordered to delete all of her social media accounts after the submission on July 2. The judgment purportedly violated Heather’s right to freedom of expression, which angered many social media users.

According to Newsweek, one item in Heather’s complaint states that the plaintiffs’ minor children have been receiving offensive messages from all over the world that attack them, call them vulgar names, and sexualize them. This is seen as a direct and proximal cause of the false, defamatory, and slanderous social media posts made by Heather Wyatt. The eighth grade was when these girls were students.

But on July 16, the parents dismissed the complaint, according to a lawsuit Vicksburg News shared and Peoples examined. The case was “dismissed without prejudice,” the petition states, indicating should the parents decide to bring it in the future, they can do so. Days later, the judge supervising the matter removed the social media ban on Heather; therefore, her TikHub profile is now back online.

According to the Sun Herald in February 2025, Heather has launched a wrongful death lawsuit against the Ocean Springs School District, alleging that they, together with others including the superintendent and school board, were negligent and broke state and federal laws meant to guard children from bullying.

Posting the news of her lawsuit on Facebook, Heather wrote, “I will continue this fight for Aubreigh. I will not stop. The death of my daughter will NOT be in useless. We will recognize the anguish she went through. Someone will hear her story. Her light will never get dark.

The Wyatt family started a GoFundMe effort to help with legal expenses. Heather called her daughter “vibrant, kind, and exceptionally bright” in the fundraising.

“We have run across a major financial barrier as we work for justice and responsibility,” the appeal notes. Right already it has brought in more than $124,000.

Her obituary notes, “She loved the beach, her friends, gymnastics, riding four-wheelers, and making TikToks.” Apart from her mother, Aubreigh also has a sister, a brother, and a grandfather surviving her.

Heather has also promoted mental health treatment from her platform. Heather advised people in an update on the GoFundMe from July 11, 2024, to “check in with local crisis centers to see if anyone needs help” and to “make donations to local therapists and counselors.”
