Overview
- The nurse has been identified by multiple outlets as Lexie (Alexis) Lawler of Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital, who recorded a TikTok wishing Karoline Leavitt a severe childbirth injury.
- State records show Lawler’s Florida nursing license was issued in 2014 and remains active until April.
- The video spread widely after being shared by Libs of TikTok, and Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer said hospital leaders confirmed she was no longer employed.
- Baptist Health said the comments violated professional standards, while Lawler declined to comment to reporters as she sought legal counsel, and a legal analyst noted a potential First Amendment challenge.
- A fundraiser was launched to support her legal defense, and Lawler later posted a video defending herself and denouncing the backlash.
