Joey Swoll’s comments led to the girl’s OnlyFans and Instagram accounts being disabled.

Joey Swoll continues to be a major advocate of positivity within the fitness world.

On Tuesday, Swoll made his latest comments about a girl who pretended to have down syndrome in the gym to promote her social media.

The use of AI has taken over many avenues in the world. This includes fitness as athletes have used it to alter photos. It would not be surprising to see men or women edit pictures for social media to make their muscles bigger. This style is a bit more surprising.

“There are now girls on Instagram pretending to have Down Syndrome to sell subscriptions to their OF. What the hell is wrong with people?!”

By promoting inclusivity and respect in gyms, Joey Swoll has redefined what it means to be a leader in the fitness industry. His journey from a bullied teenager to a confident fitness advocate underscores his message of perseverance, hard work, and compassion, making him a unique figure in the health and fitness landscape.

Joey Swoll shared a video and spoke to a young girl who was being bullied.

Swoll became aware of the video on social media where the girl begins with her back to the camera before turning around. When she faced the camera, her face was altered with what appears to be a filter.

“This is one of the most disgusting things that I have ever seen on social media. There are women out there that are using filters and AI to make it appear as if they have Down syndrome just so they can sell more subscriptions to their OF account.”

Joey Swoll continued to question everyone involved in this video. It varied from the girl who made it to the people who subscribed.

“I don’t know if they’re stealing content or using their own but why in the world does this filter even exist in the first place? And how sick in the head do you have to be to actually do this? And what type of pervert sicko actually goes and subscribes?”

After a few days, Swoll provided an update sharing that the girl’s social media accounts have been disabled. Many went to her pages to report the action and it led to action with her accounts.

“Well, I’m happy to say that because of my video and all of you reporting it, that profile has been removed from Instagram, as well, her OF account has been disabled. So thank you to all.”
