The pregnant wife of a billionaire, who went viral last spring for bullying a stranger into giving up their Instagram username, has now suffered an mortifying mishap on TikTok.
Katherine Asplundh, whose maiden name is Driscoll, married Cabot Asplundh, 27, of the Pennsylvania billionaire tree trimming family at a reception in Palm Beach, Florida, last April.
One month later, she made headlines after she aggressively messaged a stranger who shared her married name, demanding she hand over her handle, @katherineasplundh.
After the tense exchange was shared online, Katherine received immense criticism, resulting in her deactivated her Instagram – before returning and rebranding as a lifestyle vlogger.
Now, Katherine, who is expecting her first child with Cabot in just a few months, often shares videos and pictures to her TikTok and Instagram showcasing her everyday outfits and routine, where she’s racked up tens of thousands of followers.
However, in a new video posted to both TikTok and Reels on Wednesday, she suffered an embarrassing mishap as she tried to showcase her latest look by the pool while on vacation, only to fall in it as she stepped back for the camera.
In the clip, Katherine was attempting to show the camera what she was wearing, as she was clad in a white linen two-piece set that left her growing baby bump on full display.
She threw a denim and cream colored jacket over her shoulders, and accessorized with a pair of black loafers, white socks, and cat-eye sunglasses.

And, on her arm was a Soft Margaux 15 Bag in the color dark taupe by The Row, which retails for $4,700.
But it looks like her chic looked was ruined as she fell into the pool after taking a few too many steps backwards to showcase her expensive clothes.
The clip ended with her her struggling to get out of the pool, as she looked to the camera in total disbelief.
In the comments section, many viewers cracked jokes about the incident, with one person even quipping that her baby might be the next Michael Phelps or Katie Ledecky after the fall.
‘Baby was like, «Mom it feels like I’m underwater» lol,’ one user wrote.
Another seconded, ‘The baby in your belly going, «Wee.»‘
‘You fell in there so gracefully,’ someone else remarked.
Her mishap comes after she rose to fame thanks to her icy Instagram exchange with the other Katherine Asplundh, who went by Kate.

At the time, she messaged the user asking to purchase her handle from her, but Kate didn’t agree, as she said she was nervous it would get her kicked off of the platform.
Kate told Katherine that selling her username could get her blocked, to which Katherine replied, ‘I purchased my username in the past actually that’s not true.
‘Celebrities do it all the time that’s how they all have their handles as their full names.’
‘So weird, I didn’t know there was another Asplundh’s family out there. There [are] no Katherine Asplundh in our family,’ Katherine continued.
She then added: ‘I see that you’re not that active on here but started Instagram in 2018 but changed your username three times? Is there anyway I can get you to change your username one more time?’
Kate then explained that the @katherineasplundh account was her so-called ‘finsta,’ a term that refers to a ‘fake’ or secondary account that users create to share content just with close friends and family.
The conversation then turned sour, with Katherine seemingly questioning the woman’s identity.
‘I actually don’t believe that your name is Katherine Asplundh, who would make their finsta their actual name?’ Katherine wrote.

‘I reported you to Instagram and they’re actually able to tell me your real name. I really hope I don’t know you because that’s gonna be really embarrassing for you.’
Kate replied by telling Katherine that she is not American, to which Katherine snapped back: ‘Do you have proof that this is your name? Would love to see that.’
Kate then told Katherine that if she had been nice about it, she would have considered giving her the account name for free.
She hit back at the influencer, saying: ‘But you weren’t. I reported you for asking me to sell my account and another for harassing me. Have a good day.’
