Gym Positivity CEO Bashes OnlyFans Star for Filming at Children’s Playground: “Has to Be Illegal”

The crusader of gym positivity, Joey Swoll, recently sparked controversy by condemning Scottish OnlyFans personality Shanthemidget for her choice of filming location: a children’s playground. Swoll took to Instagram to express his outrage, sharing a snippet of the video where Shanthemidget is seen engaging in provocative behavior on playground equipment.

The bodybuilding enthusiast wrote in his Instagram post caption, “This is absolutely disgusting to do and post.” Visibly upset, he added, “A children’s playground is NOT the place for OF content.”

Swoll, known for his candid opinions, went on to express concern about the legality of such actions: “I don’t know the law, but I feel like this has to be illegal.” He pointed out that this wasn’t an isolated incident, claiming Shanthemidget has a history of similar videos filmed in playgrounds, where children regularly play.

Swoll continued, “This is one of the most disgusting videos that I have ever seen,” emphasizing his disbelief at the content’s location. “You make money how you want, but film your videos at home,” he urged while advocating for a sense of decency and respect for public spaces where children might be present.

The backlash against Shanthemidget has sparked a broader conversation about appropriate boundaries for content creation, especially on platforms like OnlyFans. While Swoll acknowledges the right to monetize personal content, he emphasizes the importance of considering the environment and audience. In response to the controversy, Shanthemidget has not publicly commented. However, even earlier this year, Swoll fearlessly called out two-time Mr. Olympia Erin Banks for breaking gym rules and behaving improperly around people.

The fitness influencer didn’t hold back after a gym incident caught his attention. He criticized the 2022 Men’s Physique Olympia champion Erin Banks for seeming entitled in a video where he ignored others. “None of that gives you the right to treat people this way or act as if just because you’re filming that you own the gym. You don’t,” he said. Swoll emphasized that success doesn’t justify disrespecting others in shared spaces like gyms. He urged Banks to set a positive example and make gyms inclusive.

He unveiled that Banks apologized, “We are ALL human and we ALL make mistakes. Of all the videos I’ve done, he’s only the 7th person to actually apologize and be accountable without attacking others or pointing fingers. Thank you for that brother.” Surprisingly, Banks later apologized publicly, accepting responsibility for his behavior. Swoll acknowledged Banks’ apology, noting it was rare in such situations. Banks admitted his mistake, expressing regret and a commitment to improving his actions. He emphasized his imperfections but promised to mend relationships in his gym and community.

Joey Swoll’s criticism reflects a growing concern over the intersection of personal expression and public spaces. As the debate continues, it raises questions about ethical boundaries in the digital age and the responsibilities that come with online influence.
