The \u2018body-positive\u2019 group have been under fire since May 2021 due to allegations of inappropriate behavior.

Billed as a \u201cbody-positive, all-inclusive\u201d environment, Pearadise has undoubtedly made viewers feel comfortable in the skin they\u2019re in. As well as a large platform on TikTok, the house has a dedicated Discord server for fans. Pearadise was founded by software developer Stefan Wilhelmy. His official website states that he has \u201cabsolutely no problems going out with a beautiful, big girl.\u201d He stated he wanted to \u201csupport\u201d the \u201cbeautiful and exciting new community of body positivity.\u201d The account regularly posts travel vlogs, cooking videos and lifestyle content on their TikTok.

What are the allegations against Pearadise? On May 25, TikTok user \u2018Piggy Stardust\u2019 (@piggystardust) made several claims about Stefan\u2019s intentions behind the account. She didn\u2019t feel like Pearadise actually was a \u201csafe and positive\u201d space. \u201cAll the videos I see seem to be fetishizing bigger girls,\u201d she said. \u201cMore than making them accepted and normalized.\u201d Commenters noted \u201cbad vibes\u201d from Stefan. \u2018Piggy\u2019 claimed that she wanted to \u201cspeak out\u201d on \u201csome of the red flags that made me nervous.\u201d She alleged that Stefan would \u201clure\u201d plus-sized women into the Discord before sending \u201cunsolicited pictures and\u2026 messages.\u201d She claimed that some women were, in fact, turned away from the server for being \u201ctoo small.\u201d At least two other women have since come out with their alleged experiences at Pearadise. User \u2018Savy\u2019 (@spoiledmiwk) claimed Stefan made her feel \u201cvery uncomfortable,\u201d often \u201ctouching\u201d her \u201cwithout permission.\u201d User Alexandria (@bigporkychop) stated the situation \u201cbroke\u201d her.
