“Anything to go viral, girl”: Woman’s wig comes off during Jordan River baptism
A Millennial woman is going viral for her baptism gone wrong.
Jori Hart, a global lifestyle and branding strategist, shared a video in October of her recent baptism. The moment she hit the water, her wig slipped off. Hart quickly grabbed her hair and tossed it back on, and her mishap is going viral. The TikTok video has over 750k likes and 10.5 million views.
"My Wig Came Off: A Fun and Relatable Moment," Hart captioned the post. "Laugh along as I share a hilarious moment when my wig came off! Expect humor and relatable vibes."
"The moment I went under, I was completely in the spirit, deep in prayer, peace, and surrender. I didn’t even realize my wig wasn’t secured until the priest lifted me from the water, and I felt it slipping away. I wasn’t embarrassed at all because it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience," Hart told Newsweek.
The Daily Dot has also reached out to Hart for further information.

Hart told Newsweek that she was traveling across the Middle East for her birthday. She visited Qatar, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. The traveler told the outlet that she took the trip despite the regional conflicts and safety concerns.
Hart believed Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, and wanted to do the same. Newsweek writes, "the significance of the moment made her forget small details like securing her wig."
