Bodybuilder and content creator Joey Swoll is a well-known presence on the internet who is often hailed for his videos calling out poor behavior caught at gyms or fitness clubs. Swoll has gone viral multiple times for putting people on blast for poor gym etiquette \u2014 mostly, for making fun of other gymgoers. In fact, one woman deleted her social media accounts after getting caught in Swoll\u2019s crosshairs for making fun of an older man working out at her gym. Now, another athlete is facing the internet\u2019s ire after making fun of a child working out at her gym. In her video, Russian pro swimmer Nika Godun filmed a youngster doing dumbbell rows in an awkward way. Joey Swoll calls out pro swimmer for \u201cmaking fun\u201d of kid at gym Swoll was quick to call out the swimmer in a scathing video. \u201cFilming him to make fun of him to post on social media is never an option,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd you\u2019re a professional athlete. You should know better!\u201d Nika Godun hits back at Joey Swoll after gym video sparks backlash Unlike other folks called out by Swoll in the past, it looks like Godun isn\u2019t going to delete her account or provide an apology. Instead, she offered up an explanation for the incident in a lengthy caption on Instagram on June 10, saying that she actually knew the kid in question and calling him the \u201cfunniest guy ever.\u201d \u201cPeople want to hate and they just need to be guided where to spread their hate, and that was on me,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI know the kid and he\u2019s the funniest guy ever, not giving a f*ck when his coach is not looking. He didn\u2019t need any of my help because he\u2019s in the swimming group with other kids and a coach and he knows how to do the exercise properly.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s not disabled or sick, he\u2019s just a KID!\u201d she continued. \u201cI posted a video with a caption \u2018me on a Monday morning,\u2019 saying that I\u2019m like this kid because I adore his \u2018I\u2019m tired and I don\u2019t give a f*ck\u2019 energy and even in the video itself I\u2019m saying, \u2018I love him.’\u201d She then encouraged viewers to \u201clighten up\u201d and claimed the response to her post was an \u201cover-reaction\u201d by the internet. That\u2019s not all; Godun also added other comments to her post, seemingly calling out Joey Swoll and claiming he \u201cthreatened\u201d her to take the video down. Thus far, Swoll has not responded to Godun\u2019s latest post \u2014 but we\u2019ll make sure to keep you updated right here on Dexerto if he does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
