Popular TikTok star Lacey Jane Brown has called Jake San Miguel, the father of Madden San Miguel A.K.A “Baby Gronk,” accusing him of being a controlling clout-chaser who sexualizes women in front of his young son.
Baby Gronk has become an internet sensation, gaining fame via social media for his impressive build and football skill at just 10 years of age. The running back and safety is being touted as a future NFL star by his dad, who is going the extra mile to promote the youngster as he grooms him for professional football.
Jake has been criticized by quite a few people as of late, with many accusing him of trying to exploit his own child.
Golf influencer Paige Spiranac recently put him on blast for sliding into her DMs in a bid to set up a collaboration. And Brown, who actually worked on one with the father and son pairing, has taken to TikTok to bash San Miguel, who she claims messaged her several times for a collab. The video shows her throwing an easy pass to Baby Gronk that he dropped – seems like she put that in there on purpose.
She says she agreed to the collab as she thought the whole thing was going to be child-friendly but was sexualized in front of Madden, with Jake asking her to take off her jacket and asking the kid to get closer to her.
“What I thought was going to be a kid-friendly collab turned into something disturbing,” Lacey says.
“Baby Gronk was told every second what to say by his dad…and this is where it gets disturbing. So I was throwing the football to [him] when his dad told me to take off my jacket and said stuff like, ‘It’ll get more views’ and telling his son how good I looked and that he should get closer.“
“And I was disturbed. I was with a 10-year-old… this kid, a child, hasn’t even hit puberty yet his dad is s*xualizing females in front of him for views?”

Lacey ended the video by asking Jake to “do better.”
Jake is a former high school football player himself. Now 35, he manages his son’s social media profiles and has made claims of the 10-year-old making $100,000 a year through endorsements.
