TikTok Star FREAKS After Having Face Mask Accidentally Pierced Into Her Ear - Watch!

Meanwhile, outside of a Claire’s in Virginia…

A16-year-old influencer broke down in hysterics on TikTok because a store employee accidentally pierced the mask she was wearing to her ear.

Sissy Sheridan (above), actor and host of a Nickelodeon web series called DIY With Me, shocked her TikTok followers with a video of her crying and distraught after the incident took place over the weekend.

It’s best if you hear it from her first:

Girl, ouch!

The performer later addressed the incident in an interview with BuzzFeed News, telling the outlet she was nervous yet excited to get a third earring on each ear when she went into the store with her mother, Leisa, and a close friend.

It being mid-pandemic and all, the starlet wore two masks to be extra cautious. She explained:

“I’m wearing two masks because one covered more than the other. The blue one didn’t cover as much, and I knew the woman [doing the piercing] would be pretty close to me.”

But it was one mask too many, apparently, as the employee at Icing by Claire’s made a pretty big boo-boo when performing the task.

Sissy recalled:

“She does the first one, which is the right ear, and that was the one [she got] the mask stuck in. I had no idea. I’m just sitting in the chair. I didn’t feel anything. There was no sign the mask had been punctured in the ear.”

Sissy said she was “already kind of worked up” because she didn’t like the piercing’s placing. So when they got into the car to go home, she was extra distressed when she discovered the blue mask was accidentally pierced into her right ear. She remembered:

“[My mask] won’t come off, so I thought it might have gotten stuck behind my ear or hair. I was like, mom, can you help me get it off? She’s trying to get it out. I’m like, oh my god, did she pierce the mask in my ear? …She’s trying to keep me calm. Now I’m hysterically sobbing… what a COVID-19 horror story.”

We mean… there are much more horrific things going on right now during this pandemic — but yeah, definitely not a fun experience! The DIY-er and her mom shared several photos and videos showing the strap of Sissy’s mask still stuck in the back of her, even after they tried to cut around it, and sent the images to the store’s district manager in an attempt to get a refund.

Unfortunately, the Claire’s manager said they would have to remove the earring (which is not recommended to do before 6 weeks after the piercing due to the risk of infection) and return it to the store in order to get the $73 refund. Her mom lamented to the publication:

“[Sissy’s] ear is obviously swollen and painful. … I do not want to pull the earring out while the cotton is still in her ear. I am shocked that they are arguing about the refund when they were clearly negligent.”

But Claire’s isn’t budging on its policy.

Carmen Sandy, the manager of the Sterling, VA store where the incident took place, confirmed to the outlet that she spoke with the mother-daughter duo about the refund policy, saying:

“She needs to bring the earring back and come into the store. I’ll replace it for her [with] a full earring, but she didn’t want to hear it. If she’s unhappy, she needs to call corporate.”

Wow… they really don’t play around at Claire’s, do they?

As for Sissy, fear not: the starlet has since recorded a follow-up TikTok in which she gave followers an update on the sitch — and thankfully, she’s feeling much more upbeat:
