When he's not cracking ableist jokes or doing misogynistic bits about domestic violence, you can now find Matt Rife harassing children online.
Yes, the comedian who was launched into the mainstream by woman by flirting with them—before completely bashing them in his Netflix special Natural Selection—got his feelings hurt when a six-year-old boy criticized one of Rife's many jabs that fell short.
After making a joke about domestic violence in his special, the stand-up attempted to carry the "humor" with a bit about women who are into astrology, at one point saying:
“It has nothing to do with the stars, man. Just because Jupiter has a ring and you don’t doesn’t mean that’s what you’re supposed to look up to for this magical advice.”
According to TikToker Bunny Hedaya, several people tagged her in Rife's clip because they know her son is “really into [outer] space."
Upon seeing the bit, Hedaya's son created his own video in which he tells Rife:
“Actually, it’s Saturn that has the rings. It has more [visible rings] also."
He then added:
“And, you’re mean to girls."
Hedaya shared in a TikTok video that her son's response was meant to be funny. She also noted that Rife was not tagged in the video at all.
But Rife did, however, leave a comment for Hedaya's son.
It has since been deleted, but the creator added a screenshot of the comment to her TikTok.
It read:
"Jupiter also has ring."
"OH!... and Santa Clais [sp] isn't real. Your mom buys you presents with the money she makes on OnlyFans."
"Good luck 🤪"

Elsewhere in her TikTok, Hedaya noted:
"Like Matt, I have a full female audience online...although I like mine."
After discussing the comment Rife left for her son, Hedaya scrolled through her Instagram grid displaying photos of herself completely clothed.
"For you to assume that every woman online by showing their bodies..."
She also gave props to women who do.
She continued:
"I have never made a single dollar from a man..."
"You don't accept the fact that people may like women for their personalities."
"We know you don't have one."
Hedaya then ended Rife:
"You stick to the circle 👊🤜 the men that you need validation from, and I will gladly take your female audience that you so desperately want to get rid of."
She finished:
"I really wish you luck on what's left of your career."
"Keep my child's name out of your mouth."
You can watch Hedaya obliterate Rife in her TikTok below.
People on social media were equally as disgusted by Rife's comment.
And the irony was not lost on those who pointed out that Rife himself made a rather big deal with his ableist fake apology about people not being able to take a joke.
Rife hasn't addressed the TikTok or the comment he left for a six-year-old, but we're totally fine with not hearing from him.
