It's like a Hallmark Family Movie from hell. (Content warning: Violence and blood, in that order.)

Helena Duke wasn't just being cute with that tweet, the lady with the bloody face is her actual mother.

And that tweet of a daughter narking on her mom circulated rather quickly. Because who doesn't like family dysfunction and personal tragedy playing out on social media? I mean, other than emotionally well-adjusted people with lives.

The daughter saw her mom in the video and called her out on it, which was probably not necessary as I understand the police already knew because she had pressed charges against the woman who punched her (who, by the way, also has a GoFundMe page up because who doesn't at this point).

Helena's main beef with her mom appeared to be that her mom didn't want her to attend a BLM protest because she thought it would turn violent.

She thought this was funny.

The daughter even posted an old family picture from happier times to prove it was her mom, which I will not reproduce here because it's so sad.

Capitalizing on her pain and fame, she did an interview with Teen Vogue.

Teen Vogue: How did you find out your mother was part of the group at the Capitol?

Helena Duke: My cousin sent me the video of my mom [allegedly] harassing that woman and then getting punched in the face. I was in disbelief and it felt very surreal that she was actually there and the woman in that viral video was my mother. It was very overwhelming.

The rest of the interview is as awful and self-serving as you are imagining.

Speaking of self-serving:

For college, she says. Over $67,000 at this writing.

She wasn't turning in a rioter, the police knew her mom and about the incident and it all took place the day before.

She was just mad at her mom.

I think we should make an effort to let our children know that not everything needs to play out on social media. In time, families reconcile. This makes it much harder.
