One of the moms told her that she didn't like her because of the way she dressed.
Rosa Picosa shared the hurtful interaction on TikTok.
Rosie said in the video: "Last year, my son and I were on our weekly excursion to the playground when we came across the ever-intimidating mom group.

"And yes, that means getting dressed all the way down to my shoes – whether I'm leaving the house or not."
MOMS TO THE RESCUE
