Married at First Sight star and recovering steroid addict Daniel Holmes has gone to war with a leading shapewear brand for making use of plus-size mannequins for their marketing endeavors.
The celeb went to war with his own fans and followers when he blasted the brand for promoting early death by making use of such mannequins as he felt it was like inviting obesity to come forward.
Similarly, he admonished all other leading brands in the market who find it alright to use such displays for their promotions and clothing sales.
The entire fiasco was seen taking place during the later hours of Monday night when the 32-year-old personal trainer put up an image through his stories on Instagram. He was inside a Nike store at that time where mannequins were seen surrounding him in all directions.
As it is, the celeb is one that made headlines while trying to recover from his addiction to steroids, hence people are failing to take him seriously.
“Those that say this is empowering are completely delusional. It’s like inviting people to have an early death and it needs to stop. There is certainly no power in that”- he continued.
But just a few hours later, it was shocking to see him getting bashed through Instagram. There was a video that had him defending his beliefs after being pulled into some very angry direct messages from his fans who felt this sort of behavior was not okay from someone with a public fan following.
In one selfie, the video featured Daniel rejecting claims that he was body shaming anyone. Instead, he felt he was doing the right thing by making activewear brands wake up and smell the roses instead of promoting obesity.
