The first rule of the Twitter club is that there are no rules. And for the past few days, a duel that has been rocking the arena of the social network has once again pointed it out: that between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis. The first competitor is a famous American youtuber – controversial in the past – turned boxer. The second is a former Brazilian ju-jitsu, now an MMA fighter. The tensions began on August 8 when the two celebrities announced that they would join the ring for a boxing match on October 14.
In the meantime, combat training could only have stopped at sports preparation in order to be at the level on D-Day. But that was without knowing Dillon Danis’ technique to discredit his opponent: hitting where it hurts , the intimate life and more particularly the area of the love relationship. Since early August, on his Twitter profile, the MMA champion has been posting daily photos of Logan Paul’s fiancée, Danish model Nina Agdal, with another man. His exes sometimes, montages of strangers at other times. The whole thing is to show that the young woman has a very sulphurous past and an unsavory “body count”.
From mockery to misogyny
On Dillon Danis’ account, the posts very quickly went from spamming (more or less) funny to targeted harassment. In all, more than fifty photos of Nina Agdal in the company of other men have been shared for only twenty days. If all the publications have a million views each time, a video relayed on Monday had more success. In this certainly dated excerpt, Nina Agdal films herself in her bed and tells that she lives the longest period without sexual relations. ” I struggle […]. All I want is a sausage to destroy my body”. And in just 24 hours, the video has been viewed over 102 million times. In the comments, value judgments and other mockery are not lacking. “It’s too much of a shame to marry a woman who has so much filth on social networks”. “I had pain as if it was me who was going to marry her”. Nor are the recommendations a bit misogynistic. “Logan Paul, you have to knock out. Dillon Danis then quit this crazy”. “I think that we must now flee this woman, even if it is old, she can only taint there career / life is too much”.
The support of the American-British influencer Andrew Tate for Dillon Danis testifies to this, the publications invite the most masculinist Internet users to discuss them. An account by the name of “Maximus” – which specializes in asking if famous women are “marryable” – even questioned Nina Agdal’s level of “put*rie” on Instagram. “A nude, legs apart, photos in swimsuits from all angles. A good 8/10”. And to the question, should we really judge it? The Internet user will answer “yes” without hesitation. “If we want to prevent our sisters from following the same path as her, we obviously have to go back to the “sl** shaming“”.
” He’s a fool “
For his part, Logan Paul does not seem to want to return the blows. “If Dillon thinks a single photo he posted shook me up, he’s an idiot. I’ve been through the fucking social media crisis. I saw everything, I heard all the insults. I know exactly who I am, I know exactly who my wonderful, beautiful bride is. I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. A silly troll who posts bullshit on Twitter will never, ever bother me, ”he hammered at a press conference organized on the occasion of the future fight on August 22.
More broadly, in this case, few Internet users seem to see the problem of transforming Nina Agdal into a punching bag… freely involving her in a boxing fight between two men. The question here isn’t so much whether the Danish model had sex “with all of Hollywood”, as some are reporting, but more why the ad quickly turned into a misogynistic cyberstalker. .
