Bronwin Aurora, a 22-year-old model from Toronto, has ignited a storm of online backlash after sharing a controversial video where she danced next to her elderly boyfriend’s hospital bed. The clip, which was posted on her TikTok account, showed Aurora cheerfully celebrating while her 85-year-old partner lay in the hospital bed, sparking accusations of disrespect and insensitivity. The video’s caption, “Guys I got on the will, should I pull the plug?” only fueled the outrage further.
The controversial clip quickly gained momentum online, first receiving over 122,000 views on TikTok before being shared by the widely criticized X account Libs of TikTok, where it amassed over a million views. The repost sparked heated debates across multiple social media platforms, with many calling Aurora’s actions “heartless” and “disturbing.”
Criticism came swiftly from various corners of the internet. Many commenters expressed disgust, urging the elderly boyfriend to reconsider his will. One commenter bluntly stated, “I hope family sees this and adjusts the will. 1 cent sounds appropriate.” Another added, “This is what happens when kids are raised by peers & the internet instead of adults. Forever acting like fools for attention.”
Several users condemned the video for its perceived lack of empathy and labeled it a reflection of the negative influence social media has on younger generations. “The good thing is that the internet is forever, and she showed her true colors,” one critic wrote. “Everyone can see her for the heartless person she is.”
Aurora has faced backlash before for her unconventional relationship with her significantly older boyfriend, who is often seen using a cane in her videos. The model frequently shares satirical content poking fun at their 63-year age gap, including playful remarks about being with him for financial reasons. Despite the criticism, Aurora has repeatedly defended their relationship, stating, “Age is literally just a number. I love him for who he is as a person, and he loves me for who I am as a person… obviously.”
While many of her posts aim for humor, with captions making light of her boyfriend’s age and wealth, critics have often accused her of seeking attention and clout. This latest controversy seems to have only amplified those accusations, with commenters pointing out that her humor often crosses the line into insensitivity.
Aurora’s boyfriend remains a largely private figure. His identity and background have not been publicly disclosed, and he does not appear to maintain any social media presence. This lack of public visibility has led to speculation about his wealth, with many assuming Aurora’s content references financial motivations for their relationship.
However, the hospital bed video is not the first time the couple has raised eyebrows online. Aurora has shared numerous clips of their relationship, including dancing together and shopping sprees where she claims he covers the bill. Her approach to humor, often pushing boundaries and intentionally provocative, has made her a controversial figure on TikTok.
Despite the intense backlash, Aurora appears unfazed by the criticism. Shortly after the hospital video went viral, she posted another clip on Instagram, maintaining her bold and unapologetic tone. Her boyfriend has also been seen engaging in the humor, appearing in several videos alongside Aurora, sometimes even participating in the dance routines.
While some defend Aurora’s right to humor and personal expression, many argue that her content is exploitative, using shock value and an extreme relationship dynamic for views and engagement. This incident continues to spark debate about the boundaries of social media humor and the fine line between satire and disrespect.
Aurora’s ongoing use of humor in response to criticism has kept her at the center of online discourse, with many questioning whether she will continue with this provocative content style or face repercussions as public opinion continues to turn against her.
