Viewers on social media have been demanding a “mom reveal” after a woman shared exactly what makes her mother the ultimate “it” girl.
Mimi Drabik, 23, said that she had always known about her mom’s “it” girl status in a post to TikTok yesterday, but that her expectations were surpassed after she caught sight of her high-school yearbook.
“My mom has always been an ‘it’ girl,” Drabik, known as @mimiidrabik online, said. “But I was going through her high-school yearbook yesterday and. guys, in high school she was homecoming queen. She got the superlatives of ‘cutest’ and ‘easiest to get along with’, and she was very well liked.”
“My favorite fact was that she was not only a cheerleader but she was also a band kid,” Drabik added.
The content creator said that her mom’s yearbook was full of adoring messages from male classmates, each keen to ask her out on a date.
“Every other guy would say something along the lines of, ‘you are so awesome, maybe we could go out this summer’,” Drabik said. “All of them wanted to date her.”
She added that her mom, who she describes as a “humble queen,” modestly brushed off the attention she received at school from admirers.
“Mimi, they just say that to everybody,” her mom said after her daughter questioned her about the comments.
More than 285,000 TikTok users have watched Drabik’s video in the past 24 hours. Over 90 had their interests piqued enough to demand a “reveal” of Drabik’s mom, whom the creator said still carries the same warmth and charisma to this very day.
“Mom reveal,” one user, @nataliecook302, wrote. The comment has been liked more than 200 times to date.
Another, @ellaclaire.spam02, added: “Yearbook [pictures] reveal?”
“We need to see her,” a third user, @wosozandinan0, shared.
Drabik posted a follow-up video to her account on June 11, which walked viewers through her mother’s 1983 yearbook, her homecoming queen photos and more recent photos of her contemporary style. But, before she could even do so, some viewers had managed to track down Drabik’s mom—by searching for her in old videos. The creator’s mother had featured in a TikTok post with her from June 2022.
Others had recognized Drabik’s mom from her own former appearances in SevenSuperGirls, a now-defunct web series that spanned from 2008 to 2018. Drabik and a group of other girls around her age would upload weekly skits and routines to their shared YouTube channel, with their content primarily aimed at preteen girls.
Newsweek reached out to @mimiidrabik for more information via email and TikTok. The creator has more than 300,000 followers on the platform and hosts her own podcast, Talk It Out.
