A New York City woman has taken to TikTok to claim a pastor convinced her to carry her dead baby for three days after promising the child would be resurrected for money. Kimoree Vaughan, who posts under @kimoreev, laid out the allegation in a short video that has since gone viral, writing that she was 'gullible' and is 'not okay' after the experience.
The clip does not name the pastor or provide dates, locations or any documentary evidence, but it has sparked a flood of reactions online and raised fresh questions about how grief can be exploited by figures of religious authority.
