Kick streamer Natalie Reynolds has responded to backlash after her antics during a recent livestream went viral. For context, Reynolds hosted an IRL broadcast on December 27, 2023, and did a "social experiment" by visiting a gym while wearing body paint. She was eventually confronted by an individual, who called her out for the inappropriate attire.
He remarked:
"If you don't have clothes on, you need to be out of here, ma'am! (The Kick streamer says, 'I do have clothes on.') Not fine, I work in the industry enough to know. I work in the entertainment field."
Natalie Reynolds posted the clip on X (formerly Twitter) later that day, which has since accrued over 27.2 million views. Numerous netizens expressed their displeasure with the Kick streamer's antics, with some even accusing her of "indecent exposure."
