Bretman Rock clapped back at people who were claiming that he wasted crucial medical supplies
in his recent Instagram post.
What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News bringing you all the news updates from my
in home Clevver studio.
And while we’ve all been hanging at home social distancing, some celebs have received
backlash for their social media content.
Whether it’s Gal Gadot’s “Imagine” video seeming out of touch, or Vanessa Hudgens
making an inappropriate comment about people dying on her IG live… celebs are online
more than ever but also under a microscope more than ever.
It’s such an uncertain and scary time in the world that with such large platforms celebs
need to be more aware than ever before about the impact of what they say or do.
With that being said, how did Bretman Rock become the latest celeb to receive heat for
a social media post?
Because Bretman usually steers pretty clear of drama and scandals right?
Well we’ve got all the tea and we’re gonna dive right into it, but first, go ahead and
subscribe to Clevver News if you haven’t already so you never miss out on any breaking
news updates.
Alright, so Bretman is social distancing at home in Hawaii with his family and his boyfriend.
He’s been sharing some of the funny stuff they’ve been up to on social media like
this “relaxing video…”
And he even posted this photo writing quote, “Me and my mans are so bored we out here
casting my ass... for those times he misses me you know ? … Everyone be safe.”
So yeah, I think it’s safe to say Bretman is making good use of his time at home.
And while we have been living for Bretman’s hilarious content during a time like this,
one of his posts received some backlash from fans.
He shared this video and wrote quote, “Giving you social distancing Realness with 1 body
suit and 4 lewks #bored #socialdistancing #stayhome Disclaimer: No toilet paper was
wasted in the making of this film.”
And in the video Bretman parodies RuPaul’s Drag Race with looks he made with items he
found around his house.
And many of the comments are of laughing emojis or people living for this video.
Asset: screenshot of laughing emojis And many of Bretman’s influencer friends
like James Charles, Manny MUA, and Gabriel Zamora shared some love in the comment section.
But others took issue with Bretman’s use of supplies in this video.
One fan took to the comment section to let Bretman know that she thought he was being
insensitive with this post.
They wrote quote, “I love your content and I have been watching your videos since you
were living with your mom and sister but this is just so insensitive.
Not only are you wasting medical supplies that are in such high demand, you’re making
a joke out of a global crisis.
i love you and you’re usually funny but this is just insensitive.”
And Bretman actually replied to this fan and clapped back hard.
He wrote quote, “girl what?
The only thing I wasted was the body suit for painting?
Toilet paper was collected and will be used, the mask will also be reused, not to mention
these types of mask are useful for preventing it…
I have donated my personal money to help locally and back home in the Philippines,I’ve worked
with brands to help give some supplies to medical workers working in the forefront fighting
this …”
And I mean, quick reminder, Bretman did say in his caption that quote, “No toilet paper
was wasted in the making of this film.”
But he wasn’t done clapping back.
Bretman went on to say quote, “I’ve helped spread awareness on staying home and even
taught people how to make homemade hand sanitizer… what have you done ? QUICKLY !!”
And aside from clapping back at this one fan, Bretman posted another comment to further
any potential trolling over this video.
He wrote quote, “I want to make it clear to everyone: do NOT hoard medical supplies.
If you have medical-grade supplies, please donate to your local hospitals who are in
need ASAP.
I am wearing paint suit and non-medical grade mask in the video.
I will reuse the masks because even if they are non-medical, it is still recommended to
still wear them if you must leave your home for groceries or work.
Please be smart and safe out there everyone.”
And I want to know what you guys think about this.
Do you think Bretman was being insensitive with his post?
Or do you think he was just doing his part and making us laugh?
Let me know down in the comment section below and get the conversation started.
After Bretman posted this comment, many fans came to his defense.
One person said quote, “those masks are for him and his family, what is the problem?
If he has not used them to go outside just yet where the contaminants maybe be he can
still use them.
This is not insensitive.
He is allowed to play with the masks and then use them when he needs to.
There were two masks, I’ve seen more than 4 people in his household before.
No waste here.”
And another wrote quote, “I knew ppl were going to say things about the masks ugh. come
one it’s BRETMAN he will reuse!!
He has promoted us to reuse for the MotherFKN turtles.. anyways this gave me life.
really made my day since I’m still working from home and I can’t even relax in my own
house now.
And this fan is right.
Bretman has urged fans to reuse metal straws to save turtles lives.
In one of his limited merch collections called ‘Da Baddest Merch’ Bretman included environmental-friendly
metal straws.
So when Bretman says he reused it, we believe him.
