A viral TikTok video featuring a model dancing gleefully next to her elderly boyfriend’s hospital bed has sparked outrage online. The model, 22-year-old Bronwin Aurora, has faced criticism after the video revealed that her 85-year-old boyfriend had named her in his will. The clip, which shows Aurora dancing next to the hospital bed with the caption “Guys I got on the will, should I pull the plug?” has garnered widespread condemnation from viewers who accused her of being “shameless” and heartless.
A Shocking Display: The Video that Went Viral
Aurora’s video was meant to be humorous, and the model is known for her playful content, frequently poking fun at the age gap between her and her boyfriend. In the video, Aurora is seen dancing happily, while her boyfriend, who appears to be in a hospital bed, watches in the background. Though the boyfriend looks healthy in more recent videos, many viewers found the video distasteful, particularly with her statement about pulling the plug.
The video went viral on TikTok, receiving over 122 thousand views. When reposted on the X account Libs of TikTok, it went viral again, racking up over a million views. But the response wasn’t as lighthearted as Aurora may have anticipated.

Public Backlash: ‘Shameless’ and ‘Heartless’ Reactions
The reactions were swift and harsh. Hundreds of commenters criticized Aurora for her actions, with one user calling the display “shameless” and saying, “This is what happens when kids are raised by peers & the internet instead of adults.” Many users took aim at the model’s apparent disregard for her boyfriend’s health and criticized her for treating the situation as a joke.
Several comments referred to the boyfriend as her “grandfather,” and some even suggested that he should remove her from his will. One commenter wrote, “Hope family sees this and adjusts the will. 1 cent sounds appropriate,” while another added, “I would take her out of the will right then! Ungrateful little b****.”
The harsh criticism didn’t stop there. Some users used the video as an example of the negative influence of social media on young people, with one comment saying, “Another advertisement for not using TikTok.”
Aurora Defends Her Relationship and Humor
Despite the overwhelming backlash, Aurora has continued to post similar content, defending her relationship with her older boyfriend. In another video, she addresses the 60-year age gap, stating, “Age is literally just a number.” She claims she loves her boyfriend for who he is as a person, and he loves her for who she is as well. While she didn’t confirm how long they’ve been dating, she made it clear that she doesn’t care about the critics.
Aurora often responds to the criticism by incorporating humor into her videos. She frequently dances with her boyfriend, who uses a cane, and has even acknowledged some of the negative comments like, “He’s old enough to be your grandpa.” Despite the heated comments, she seems to embrace the attention, and both she and her boyfriend appear to take the criticism in stride.
The Backlash Grows: An Ongoing Social Media Drama
As the criticism continued, Aurora posted another video just 24 hours later, which was also suggestive and playful. The couple appears unfazed by the growing hate, with Aurora’s boyfriend joining in on some of her dance videos. They also frequently share content showing her shopping in designer stores, often stating that her boyfriend pays for everything.
Her boyfriend does not have a known social media presence, and it is unclear whether he has any other family members who are also included in his will. However, the public’s response to Aurora’s actions has raised broader questions about the role of social media in shaping public perceptions of relationships, particularly when there’s a significant age gap.
Conclusion: The Hidden Reality Behind a Social Media Post
The controversial video and the reactions it sparked are part of a larger conversation about the impact of social media on relationships, especially those involving an age gap. While Aurora’s lighthearted approach to her relationship and her boyfriend’s health may be part of her humor, the public response highlights a disconnect between what is seen as acceptable content and what is perceived as distasteful or insensitive.
For now, the couple continues to face scrutiny, but their approach to the backlash suggests they are undeterred by the criticism. Whether or not this situation will change their public image remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear: their online content has made a lasting impression and sparked ongoing debates about how far people should go for attention in the age of social media.
