Thai influencer and life coach Gina “Wonder JN” has shut down her Facebook and TikTok accounts following intense backlash over comments criticising men who follow women showing off their bodies on Instagram.

The drama started after Gina posted a video in which she said men who follow women displaying their bodies on Instagram may appear “low-class and lacking social maturity”.

She suggested such behaviour damages the men’s credibility and increases the likelihood of them being rejected by women with “standards”.

The post sparked fierce debate on social media.

Gina initially disabled comments and attempted to clarify that she was addressing men’s public image rather than dictating personal tastes or forbidding certain behaviour.

Some men agreed with her, arguing that public social media behaviour reflects one’s character

However, many criticised the remarks as overgeneralising and disrespectful towards men.

Some women tried to make light of the drama, with one commenting: “I’m not worried about my husband because he only follows women who exercise.”

As the backlash intensified, some internet users began lookng into the life coach’s background. Many said they had discovered a pattern of disparaging remarks about men in her previous content.

Gina closed both her Facebook page, which had about 175,000 followers, and TikTok account without further explanation.
