The Mexican influencer Jezzini has been embroiled in controversy following the distribution of a photograph in which he appears with apparent injuries all over his face. The image quickly went viral, generating outrage and accusations of simulating aggression from several users on social media.
Some argued that this action was insensitive and harmful to real victims of violence, while other followers of Jezzini defended his right to use his image for artistic purposes, arguing that there was no intention to harm anyone.
Amid the controversy, the influencer shared on his personal Instagram account that he was fine and that he would soon provide more details: “I am fine, I will tell you soon.” This statement was not enough to calm the outrage of many users, who flooded social media with criticisms and accusations that Jezzini had trivialized violence by simulating an aggression.
The photograph showed Jezzini with marks and bruises on his face, leading many to believe he had been a victim of violence. However, shortly afterward, the influencer clarified that the injuries were the result of makeup used in a Netflix acting project.
Despite Jezzini's clarification, the controversy remains alive and the mixed opinions of users on social media persist.
