22yo star’s ‘sick act’ while 80yo boyfriend in hospital bed
An influencer faced backlash over a “horrifying” clip of her next to her elderly partner’s hospital bed with a questionable caption.
Social media users have been left horrified after a young influencer shared a “disturbing” video of herself dancing next to her much older boyfriend, who was lying in a hospital bed.
In the video, Bronwin Aurora, 22, boasts about being included in the 80-year-old’s will.
Ms Aurora, who has 1.5 million followers, showed off her relationship — which has a 58-year age gap — by kissing her boyfriend’s forehead before breaking into a trending TikTok dance.
She danced around the bed, which was surrounded by medical equipment, to the song Keep Up by Odetari.
The lyrics include, “Keep up, I’m too fast, I’m too fast, push my foot up on that pedal, then I’m gone, G-g-g-gone, gone, gone.”
She captioned the clip, “Guys, I got on the will, should I pull the plug?”
Her frail partner watched on and seemed either unbothered or unaware of the message she was sending to her audience.
The unsettling clip has left commenters shaken, with many sharing concerns about the relationship.
This video, which some think might be satirical, has amassed nearly half a million views.
One commenter quipped, “Love your care for humanity.”
“Is that something to joke about?” asked someone else.
A third commenter stated, “I’m going to cry. I hope he gives everything to his kids.”
“A prelude to an episode of Law and Order,” replied someone else.
Meanwhile, others called the clip, “sickening”, “outrageous” and “a new low”.
Some even suggested it appeared to be “elder abuse”, a term used when a trusted person mistreats an elderly person in a physical, social, psychological, sexual, or financial manner.
“I have no words,” admitted another TikToker.
Although Ms Aurora did not disclose her boyfriend’s medical condition, it appears he was out of the hospital by mid-November, as she posted another video of herself dancing near him in a jewellery store with the caption, “How should I repay him for spending $20K on Cartier for me?”
This time, her boyfriend, who always remains silent in the clips, joined in, performing a slow boogie as she danced next to him.
However in her most recent post, he can be seen in a wheelchair while the pair are out to dinner.
The star doesn’t shy away from sharing the details of her relationship online, telling fans in one post that she “loves” him and “takes him to pound town” in exchange for lavish gifts.
