TikTok Fitness Coach Joey Swoll is well-known within the TikTok fitness community for his work on combating \u201ctoxic\u201d gym culture. He creates various educational gym content on TikTok, as well as responds to viral TikToks of individuals at the gym coming into question. Most recently, Swoll replied to Twitch streamer Jessica49\u2019s TikTok, and shortly after went viral. Within the video, Swoll defended a man\u2019s actions as he attempted to help Jessica49 at the gym, which she found extremely discomforting. The TikTok originally showed Jessica49 at the gym, in which she expressed her discomfort after being glanced at by a man, calling him a \u201cstupid f*** piece of s***\u201d. She then expressed extreme discomfort after the man approached her and asks if she needs help, layering the screen of the TikTok with text such as \u201cwhat if I just ripped his pp out of his socket so he could never reproduce again\u201d and \u201cnatural selection better take these wierdos out\u201d. Swoll counteracted Jessica\u2019s arguments, providing his own experience as a veteran lifter. \u201cIf you watch the video, he sees that you struggle putting plates on the other side. Now any experienced lifter knows that when you have a barbell on the ground\u2026 it\u2019s very difficult to put plates on\u2026 He sees that you struggled, being an experienced lifter he comes over and tries to help you, \u2019cause that\u2019s what kind people do.\u201d Swoll went on to then condemn Jessica\u2019s comments about the man. \u201cIt\u2019s sad to see you took an act of kindness, this man doing something for you, being kind, and turned him into a creep at the gym. Talking about how you want to rip his reproductive organ off so he can\u2019t reproduce and that natural selection should take him out. Really? \u201cTrying to make yourself out to be a victim. Which you\u2019re not. There are women harassed at gyms, you\u2019re not one of them. You need to do better.\u201d Joey\u2019s video has received over 49 million views on Twitter, and the majority of comments seemingly agree with his take on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TikToker Joey Swoll goes viral for defending man in gym amid streamer Jessica49 controversy Instagram: joeyswollFitness TikToker Joey Swoll\u2019s latest post has gone viral for defending a man in a controversial gym video shared by streamer Jessica49.
