Joey Swoll strikes again.
The popular fitness influencer has once again shown his power on social media after getting a group of women banned from a spa after they mocked a naked stranger.
Going to the gym or spa can be a daunting experience for anyone self-conscious of their body, so it should be the done thing to make people comfortable at these places.
Sadly, some take it upon themselves to ridicule others either to hide their insecurities or just to be an awful person.
Luckily, people like Swoll are on hand to call out bad behavior, and it can have devastating consequences for those involved.
Swoll has taken a stand against what he describes as "arrogant" behavior after discovering a disturbing incident at Champneys Luxury Health Spa in the UK.
The influencer, whose real name is Joseph Sergo, expressed his outrage on social media over the recording of a nude woman in the spa's locker room.
In a video posted on his Instagram account, Swoll didn't mince words: "This video really p*sses me off. Pardon my language but what the f*** is wrong with you? How do you not know better than to do this to somebody?"
The footage, which circulated on social media on March 5, shows the woman changing in the locker room before the camera pans to two individuals, identified as her friends, laughing in the sauna.
The video, described as "perverted," was allegedly posted on one of the friend's Instagram stories with the caption "even a free show," per the New York Post.
Swoll, visibly angered in his video response, criticized the perpetrators for their lack of respect and empathy towards the woman.
"You and your friends sit there arrogantly laughing at her and enjoying this 'free show' as you call it – and you even tagged the location of this spa," he said.
Taking further action, Swoll directly messaged Champneys Spas via Instagram to condemn the behavior of the individuals involved. In response, Champneys Spas issued a statement expressing their shock and dismay over the incident.
"We are absolutely appalled and so upset by the actions of these individuals. Champneys is a place that prides itself on being somewhere to relax and unwind in a safe and comfortable environment, we do not condone or accept any conduct that puts our guests at risk," the spa's statement read.
The statement continued: "We have identified the guests, banned them from our properties and reported the incident to the police. Rest assured, we are reviewing our procedures and policies to ensure this does not happen again."
Swoll, urging the affected woman to press charges, emphasized the importance of respecting privacy and personal boundaries. "You need to do better. Mind your own business," he insisted.
Comments flooded in from shocked viewers, with one person stating: "This is so awful to see. The poor woman who has been violated, can’t imagine how it’s left her feeling. Why do people think it’s ok to film others without consent and in private places."
A second added: "That’s a straight up FELONY. Haul them off to prison! Where the hell do people get the absolute AUDACITY to do something like this??"
