An influencer who was kicked out of the gym for wearing "painted pants" has spoken out.
On Wednesday (December 27), a kick streamer named Natalie Reynolds sparked backlash after filming herself doing a "social experiment" by wearing body paint to the gym.
During the broadcast, Reynolds was confronted by an individual who called out her antics, saying: "If you don't have clothes on, you need to be out of here, ma'am!"
The woman responded by going closer to the male gymgoer so that he could see that she had "clothes on," however, he was not pleased with her answer and stated: "Not fine, I work in the industry enough to know. I work in the entertainment field."
Watch the moment below:
As the gentleman walked off, he also appeared to tell the streamer that you're not supposed to "videotape" in the gym.
Reynolds posted the altercation to X (formerly known as Twitter) with the caption: "Guy in the gym presses me for wearing painted pants" and it has since gone viral, gaining 33.4 million views and 12K likes.
While she was most likely expecting a positive response from viewers, the reaction online was quite the opposite as many slammed her for her behavior.
One user said: "As he should. You were in the wrong. If the rules weren't clear enough, then Gym Etiquette should be obvious to you. People are there for gains, not whatever this is. You deserve to be ridiculed. Bar none."
Another commented: "That dude was 100% right. He called out your degenerate behavior and you played victim," while a third interjected: "With painted pants and a camera, you obviously went into the gym to get a reaction, not for any other reason. You’re in the wrong here."
A fourth added: "Stop being cringe filming in a gym then, we all hate influencers like you."
Reynolds was even criticized by the social media platform's community notes, which was accompanied by a website link to a Healthline article on proper gym etiquette.
The note read: "The man in the video is protecting the overall gym etiquette according to which you should wear clothes suitable for exercise. Wearing unsuitable clothes or none at all is considered to be disrespectful towards the other. It is also a hygiene risk to others."
Despite the backlash, the streamer stood her ground as she clarified in a follow-up post that she was wearing a gym bra and bathing suit bottoms.
"Why everyone acting like I was naked lmao. The amount of women who wear pants up the ass at the gym… This is nothing bad at all," she said in one post, adding a picture of a friend painting her jeans on.
She then compared the online reaction to her content with a male YouTuber, writing: "So a guy YouTuber makes a video just like this but when I paint myself everyone is acting like the world is ending. Let me get my gains and shredded in peace pls."
In her latest tweet, Reynolds shared a picture of bodybuilders and penned: "So when people wear these outfits it’s all about body positivity but when I’m wearing more then that it’s a problem."
She claimed that the gym "allowed" her to film and had no "issue" with her content.
