A social media influencer’s so-called “social experiment” backfired on her after she was called out for going to the gym wearing painted-on gym wear.
Kick streamer Natalie Reynolds is once again in the news for yet another controversial publicity stunt.
On December 27, Natalie decided to do a livestream, where she would conduct a “social experiment” by wearing body paint to the gym.
“I started getting this painted on me at 11:30 AM and I got it done at 4:15 PM,” she said in the video. “So, I’m sitting up for, like, five to six hours. It’s painted on pants – so this is all paint. These are swimsuit bottoms.”
However, she didn’t make it far into the establishment before a mountain of a man approached her and expressed his displeasure towards her attention-seeking antics.
“If you don’t have clothes on, you need to be out of here, ma’am,” he said with a polite but firm tone.
“I do have clothes on,” Reynolds responded.
“Not fine” he replied. “I work in the industry enough to know. I work in the entertainment field.”
He then stormed off to find management, talking about how the video was not allowed in the gym.
Hoping the internet would bail her out of accountability, Reynolds posted the video- a mistake that would ultimately harm her brand image.
“Guy in the gym presses me for wearing painted pants” went live, and the comments started flooding in.
To no doubt the surprise of many, the internet largely rejected Reynolds’ claims and reviled her for her unhygienic and uncouth behavior.
“That dude was 100 percent right,” one user stated. “He called out your degenerate behavior and you played the victim.”
“I’m sick of these influencers walking around with security guards thinking they can just do whatever they want,” another quipped.
Even X’s/Twitter’s community notes were ruthless towards Reynolds.
“The man in the video is protecting the overall gym etiquette according to which you should wear clothes suitable for exercise,” the notes read. “Wearing unsuitable clothes or none at all is considered to be disrespectful towards the other. It is also a hygiene risk to others.”
According to Unilad, Reynolds seemingly didn’t understand why everyone is upset with her.
“Why everyone acting like I was naked lmao,” she wrote. “The amount of women who wear pants up the a*s at the gym… This is nothing bad at all.”
One respondent pointed out that Reynolds is just one case out of many.
“I’m sick of these influencers walking around with security guards thinking they can just do whatever they want,” the comment read.
