What did Meghan Trainor say?
During an episode of Meghan Trainor’s Workin’ On It podcast, she and her brother, co-host Ryan Trainor, talked about her intentions to homeschool her children due to all the school shootings that have happened over the years.
“We’re homeschooling our kids,” Trainor revealed during the April 19, 2023, episode, via US Weekly.
“Everyone on TikTok is like, ‘This is what it’s like having kids in America. I have a bulletproof backpack.’ I was like, f*** all that.”
During the conversation, guest Trisha Paytas expressed similar views, adding that she is also worried about the possibilities of bullies and teachers.
“F*** teacher, dude,” Trainor abruptly added.
The comment ultimately upset several fans, who later voiced their opinions in the episode’s comments section.
One user said: “As a former teacher, I’m absolutely floored that Meghan would say ‘f teachers.’ I worked 12 hour days and weekends, spent money out of my own pocket, sacrificed my mental and physical health to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for my students.
“I was happy to make those sacrifices, because my number one focus was making sure I was a person each of my students could trust and rely on. Our school system is a mess, but teachers are not the problem. They are the only people left in schools really fighting for our kids.Show less.”
Another added: “As a teacher, it’s really disheartening to hear Meghan say that about teachers. Not all teachers are bad teachers. I want all my students to feel supported, successful, and loved. We are there to make an impact on our students lives.
“Yes our job is dangerous but we do it because many others will not. Homeschooling your child is a wonderful thing but not an option for most. It makes me sad that now people will think that teachers are not worth it and we do not care for our students.”
A third user wrote: “My jaw has dropped. You have NO IDEA how hard we (teachers) need to go to school to teach people academics, social skills, emotional development. Study for YEARS of child and human psychological development. How dare you?!”
A few days after the episode was released, Trainor took to TikTok to issue an apology and explain herself, saying “it’s not how I feel.”

“Teachers of TikTok and teachers of the world, I recently said ‘F teachers’ on the podcast and it’s not how I feel,” she began.
“I was fired up because we were talking about how sending your kid to school here in America is so horrific.”
Later on, she explained that Paytas’ comments made her angry because she and her husband, Daryl Sabara, were previously bullied by former teachers.
“I did not mean [to say that about] all teachers,” Trainor continued.
“I love teachers, I fight for teachers. I think they have the hardest job and they are the most underpaid. They are the most unappreciated when they literally raise all of us. I don’t want to make excuses, I just want to [say] I am so sorry.”
She added: “I am so sorry to any teachers I made feel bad and I will remind myself that my words definitely could have a consequence and I will be more careful.”

How many kids does Meghan Trainor have?
After tying the knot with her Spy Kids husband in 2018, Trainor welcomed son Riley Sabara, who was born on February 8, 2021, in Los Angeles, California.
Since Riley’s birth, the celebrity couple has been open about the struggles they faced during pregnancy, and now Trainor is sharing even more in her upcoming book, Dear Future Mama, which details her battle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
After Riley was born, he had breathing issues and had to spend several days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), which took a toll on the Mother singer.
“Usually when you’re being sewn up for 45 minutes, you’re like, ‘Look at my gorgeous baby. We did it. This is everything.’ But I was laying there alone,” Trainor told PEOPLE.
“In the moment, I was so drugged up, I was calling my mom, and she’s crying on the phone, like, ‘Are you okay?’ And I was like, ‘We’re fine.’ And then when I tell people what happened, they’re like, ‘Jesus Christ,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, that was kind of messed up, right?’ “
While Trainor might’ve been able to take her son home, she began having nightmares and flashbacks.
“I couldn’t go to sleep at night. I would be in tears and tell Daryl, ‘I’m still on that table, dude. I’m trapped there. I can’t remind myself I’m in bed and I’m safe at home,'” Trainor continued. “I had to learn how traumatic it was.”
Eventually, Trainor went to therapy and “worked through it,” and now she’s preparing for the arrival of their second child.
