Skyler Simpson, an adult content creator from the United States, received a flood of criticism after making an ill-advised joke involving Hurricane Helene.
Hurricane Helene killed more than 160 people and caused historic flooding throughout the southeast. Despite this, the model thought it would be appropriate to make a fake weather forecast in which she appeared wearing a tiny pink bikini.
In the clip, filmed in Tampa, Florida, Skyler appears holding an umbrella and joking about the situation. “Live, reporting from Tampa Bay, on Bayshore Boulevard, I think everyone’s a little…,” she said before being interrupted by someone behind the camera who threw ice cubes at her.
“As you can see, I think people were a bit dramatic about how the weather was going to be here. The storm obviously passed and even headed to Tallahassee,” she added in the video, as she was hit again by an ice cube, this time in her right eye.
“I think it’s a beautiful night here in Bayshore. Perfect for taking a walk with your family and enjoying a nice evening stroll,” she added while the person behind the camera splashed water on her. “I feel great, Tampa Bay feels great. Stay safe. Skyler Simpson. Back to you, Chris.”
The video, which has already received hundreds of thousands of views on Instagram, was quickly criticized by netizens. “I hope some of the [profits] you made through the likes on this reel were sent as aid to the families in need,” wrote one user.
“All for the [views]… Good for you, I bet dad’s proud,” said another. “Hilarious. People died, so let’s make jokes,” commented a third. “Disgusting. Selling content while others are suffering. Karma will get you,” added another.
