A popular European fitness influencer claims to have been permanently "banned" from a gym, due to jealously from a female employee.
However, there appears to be more to the story than that.
Edda Elisa, a popular influencer with more than 500,000 followers on Instagram, claims to have been banned from a gym chain because a female employee was allegedly jealous of her. However, further investigating into the alleged ban has commenters wondering what's entirely true. Many believe that there was likely a lot more to this story than what is being speculated. It's possible that something other than "jealously" - like filming rules or behavior inside of the gym - could have led to a possible banning, if there's even one in the first place.
She previously claimed to have been banned from a flight due to "inappropriate" outfits.
Many gyms often have bylaws regarding filming and content production. It's possible that a ban could have been prompted by something else.
"Several German creators have begun reviewing Edda's own videos, public statements, and the gym's published rules. They argue that the controversy may not have started solely out of jealousy," Early Game reported.
"One of the biggest points of discussion is Edda's own admission that gym employees and members had repeatedly complained about her filming inside the facility. Critics argue that this directly contradicts the impression that she was removed out of nowhere without warning."
The fitness influencer certainly knows how to spark attention online, and she's getting what she wants here.
However, when it comes to her "banned" from flights or gyms stories, it's always important to read it with a bit of questioning, as it sounds like there's more to this story than what she is suggesting.
