Hey, darlings, buckle up for some spicy internet drama! US YouTuber Tyler Oliveira, known for his bold and boundary-pushing content, has landed himself in hot water after posting a vlog about a unique post-Diwali ritual in Tamil Nadu, India. The 25-year-old vlogger documented the Gorehabba Festival in Gumatapura village, where locals throw dried cow dung at each other to honor the deity Beereshwara Swamy, believed to have been born from cow dung.
While Tyler thought he was capturing a quirky cultural moment, his choice of words - dubbing it a 'poop fest' - didn’t sit well with netizens. The video, posted on Thursday, went viral for all the wrong reasons, drawing sharp criticism for what many called a disrespectful portrayal of a sacred tradition. Dressed in a hazmat suit and goggles, Tyler filmed himself amidst the dung-covered crowd, and let’s just say, the internet had a field day tearing into him.
Despite issuing an apology, the backlash hasn’t let up. Tyler even claimed his video faced mass reporting and censorship, particularly from Indian users, as the controversy continues to brew online. Oh, honey, when will content creators learn to tread lightly with cultural nuances?
Just when you thought the drama couldn’t get messier, the internet decided to crank up the heat! Amid the outrage over his festival vlog, bizarre claims started circulating on social media alleging that Tyler’s mother is an OnlyFans model and even uploads content to adult platforms. Talk about a plot twist no one saw coming!
A screenshot of a supposed article from January 23, 2019, began making rounds, featuring a blurry old photo of Tyler with his family. The headline? A jaw-dropping claim about his mom’s alleged adult content career. But before you gasp, let’s hear from the man himself - Tyler has called out these rumors as pure fabrication.
'They’re photoshopping headlines saying my mom does OnlyFans after I filmed their poop festival. This is just ridiculous backlash!'
Tyler isn’t taking these wild accusations lying down, babe. In a series of fiery posts on X, he shared the fake screenshot and slammed the trolls for stooping so low. He’s adamant that these claims are nothing but a vicious response to his controversial vlog, designed to provoke and humiliate.
Defending his original video, Tyler also pushed back against accusations of racism, stating, 'It isn’t racist to film a poop-throwing festival.' Whether you agree or not, one thing’s clear - this YouTuber isn’t backing down from the fight. He’s in the eye of a social media storm, and we’re all just here watching the chaos unfold.
So, what’s your take on this messy saga? Is Tyler a misunderstood content creator or did he cross a line? Drop your thoughts below, because we’re dying to know!
