At the height of her family\u2019s adoption scandal, YouTube star Myka Stauffer<\/strong> was called out for wearing Cartier.<\/p>\n

Myka and her husband, James Stauffer<\/strong>, are the subjects of a new Vox Media Studios docuseries titled An Update on Our Family<\/a>,<\/em> which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this month. The Stauffers, who did not respond to producers\u2019 requests for comment, rose to fame for their candid family vlogs and brought fans along on their journey to adopt son Huxley from China. Viewers turned against the family in 2020, however, when Myka and James \u201crehomed\u201d their adopted son<\/a>, who was diagnosed with autism.<\/p>\n

Before Huxley was given a new forever home, Myka was widely criticized for appearing to disengage from raising the \u201clittle guy,\u201d who was 2 at the time of his adoption. While the family attempted to care for his medical needs, Myka and James put Huxley in speech therapy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re gonna go to a different speech therapist,\u201d Myka said in a 2018 YouTube vlog, which was featured in episode 3 of the docuseries. \u201cNot the one that\u2019s $500 a month. But we\u2019re gonna go to the one that\u2019s, like, $70 for 30 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tCourtesy of Myka Stauffer\/Instagram Myka and James Stauffer made a name for their family on YouTube, but everything drastically changed after they rehomed their adopted son, Huxley, four years ago. The couple adopted Huxley from China in 2017 when he was 2 years old. Myka and James also share children Kova, Jaka, Radley and Onyx, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Some viewers claimed the comments were hypocritical after noticing that Myka was wearing a Cartier bracelet as she spoke about cutting back on Huxley\u2019s expenses. At the time the video was uploaded, the jewelry was reportedly worth roughly $6,500.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you can\u2019t afford $500 a month for a speech therapist?\u201d one critic said in a reaction video.<\/p>\n

Social media personality Sophie Ross<\/strong>, who was at the forefront of dissecting the adoption scandal, reflected on going down the Stauffer family \u201crabbit hole.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[Myka] clearly was just living the life of luxury while apparently saying that, you know, she didn\u2019t have the resources to take care of this human being that she had adopted,\u201d Ross said in the doc.<\/p>\n

Others have debated whether Myka and James only adopted Huxley to increase engagement on their YouTube channels. The pair\u2019s popularity skyrocketed from their vulnerable videos about the adoption process, and Myka scored deals with brands like Fabletics, Huggies, Kroger and more. (The majority of these brands terminated their relationships with the Stauffers amid the rehoming scandal.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tPutting family time first. Myka Stauffer and her husband, James Stauffer, have four children and adopted their son Huxley in 2017. Three years after bringing the little one home, the YouTuber revealed that the 4-year-old had been placed in a new \u201cforever home.\u201d \u201cOnce Huxley came home, there were a lot more special needs that [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Fans of the Stauffers began to grow concerned for Huxley after he was noticeably absent from the family\u2019s videos. When the couple initially brought Huxley home in October 2017, Myka declared that she and James felt confident about the decision no matter what challenges they might experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anything, my child is not returnable<\/a>,\u201d Myka said in a YouTube video uploaded months before Huxley\u2019s adoption was made official.<\/p>\n

Myka and James are also the parents of kids Kova, Jaka, Radley and Onyx, who were not adopted. As Huxley was seemingly phased out from the vlogs, Myka was called out for deleting comments about his whereabouts. She and James eventually offered their explanation in a May 2020 video.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would never just give up a child with special needs, this is a personal matter to Hux it had nothing to do with he just had Autism,\u201d Myka added while responding to critics in the comments section, claiming Huxley \u201cwanted this decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
