Oklahoma dad reacts to viral debate after taking daughters into women’s restroom
Tyler Brodsky, an Oklahoma father, recounts an incident where he was reported to the police for bringing his two young daughters into an unoccupied women’s restroom. He shares his perspective, explaining that the men’s restroom was unsuitable for his daughters, which ignited a widespread online discussion. Brodsky stresses his commitment to safeguarding his children, recalling their anxiety during the encounter.
Following the viral incident, a disgruntled customer who criticized Brodsky at a gas station’s women’s restroom has been dismissed by a Mississippi real estate company.
Overstreet Properties, based in Starkville, Mississippi, acknowledged the circulation of videos showing the man, who was an independent contractor for the company, on social media.
“The behavior exhibited in the video does not align with the values of Overstreet Properties or the expectations we have for those representing our organization,” the company stated in a social media update. “We continue to prioritize delivering excellent service to our clients, partners, and community.”
The firm further announced that it has severed ties with the man, as initially reported by TMZ.

The video was captured by Tyler Brodsky, an Oklahoma dad traveling with his two daughters. Brodsky had stopped at a QuikTrip gas station in Alabama and took his daughters into the women’s restroom. Moments later, the video shows a man yelling and demanding that Brodsky leave the facility.
“I knocked and announced that I’m coming in with two girls, which, at this time, the bathroom was empty,” Brodsky recounted on “Fox & Friends First.”
“This guy comes in, starts yelling, demanding that we need to leave, I should have taken them to the men’s restroom, which I disagreed with,” he added. “I’ve personally been in men’s restrooms. I just didn’t feel like it was a good place to take two little girls.”

The man was seen standing in the doorway of the bathroom, scolding Brodsky as he helped his girls wash their hands. The bystander was also seen speaking into his own phone, explaining that his wife and “very ill” mother-in-law had reported a man being inside the women’s restroom.
One of Brodsky’s young daughters was seen crying as the ordeal continued. A QuikTrip manager eventually closed the door on the shouting bystander and apologized to Brodsky and the girls.
A QuikTrip manager eventually stepped in to assist and apologized to Brodsky and the girls.
“It’s a scary thing for little girls, so I tried to just do the best I could in the moment and keep them calm. But they’re doing well now,” Brodsky told “Fox & Friends First” co-host Todd Piro.
In a separate TikTok video, Brodsky noted that three police officers eventually arrived at the scene and assured him he had done nothing wrong.
