We are fully in the throes of the "Look at Mee!" era made possible in part by social media, short attention spans, as well as a political party, media, and culture that believes victimhood is the perfect substitute for personal responsibility and self-respect.

As a perfect example of this, we have social media "influencer" Natalie Reynolds, who I had never heard of before 2024 and who spent a considerable part of the last week of 2023 repeatedly playing the victim/sexism card after a stunt she pulled at a gym backfired badly.

Though the video is undated, it shows Reynolds and someone who is filming her in what is obviously a staged stunt walking into the gym wearing a sports bra and "painted-on pants," with only a bikini bottom covering her lady parts.

A man in the gym, who doesn't appear to be an employee, tells her that if she's not dressed she needs to leave. She tells him she is dressed, and he responds by telling her that he's "worked in the industry" (presumably the entertainment industry) enough to know better.

Watch the video below, and pay careful attention to the unseen person "directing" her to "get closer" to the man who suggested she leave:

In case it's not visible, a Community Note was added to the ratioed tweet, with the below note added and a Healthline website link included:

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 a also a hygiene risk to others.

Though Reynolds has a modest following at Twitter and Kick.com, she's built up a following of 356,000 people on her Instagram page, where the predictable thirst trap pictures and obnoxious videos are regularly posted.

Strangely, the gym video wasn't posted to Instagram, which is probably intentional since the one she posted to Twitter did not go according to plan.

Because she got called out so badly for arriving to the gym nearly naked, she has since posted tweets showing other women at gyms dressed in bikini bottoms and also pictures of bodybuilders in bikinis as though it justifies her arriving at a fitness center in painted "clothes" and accompanied by a video director who clearly wanted to put the man who protested on blast as an alleged example of sexism and misogyny.

Except her excuses didn't fly, as others observed:

Podcaster Tim Pool nailed exactly why this type of "path to fame" stuff needs to go away and fast:

American youth finds the fastest path to fame in this kind of shit 

It's too bad that we don't inspire people to be builders and inventors anymore 

This is why we have to build culture, to make what Natalie did unthinkable to the next generation
