Man Makes Homophobic Comments To Shirtless Tiktoker In Gym

Going to the gym can be a stressful experience in itself. For those that love the grind, tracking your progress and seeing what form works is an important part of getting fit.

Nick then explains that he was recording a video of his back. The man then gets up close and personal to Nick and repeatedly says “F*ck you.”

He also threatens Nick with physical harm before leaving him.

Nush’s voice can be heard in the voice-over saying, “I don’t even know this dude and I’m confused as hell what’s going on. He continues to stare at me, flip me off, and mouth things at me.”

Nush said that he hadn’t had any interaction with the man prior to or after the incident in the video and was still confused as to why it occurred in the first place.

“I didn’t know what to do because I’ve never thought someone would act like this in the gym,”

While people said that wearing a shirt at the gym was the proper etiquette, there was no reason to approach him this aggressively.
