Customary of controversies, Tibo InShape, the guru of bodybuilding and fitness, has once again caused a real outcry on social networks following his comments on depression.
On his various social networks where he has several million subscribers, Tibo InShape multiplies advice on fitness and bodybuilding. If many Internet users regularly thank the youtubeur for his help, unfortunately, he often attracts the wrath of Internet users as to the content of his videos, his way of approaching sensitive subjects, or even the comments he can sometimes make.
Recently, it was the video he posted this Saturday, June 4 on his TikTok account that caused a real outcry. In this video where we can see him performing various bodybuilding exercises, he sought to give his subscribers a boost of motivation, with a speech that encourages them to no longer look for excuses not to get into the sport. Where the shoe pinches is that he used examples deemed by the majority of Internet users to be inappropriate.

“Wake up damn it! Don’t give a damn about your depression! Don’t give a damn about your excuses! Don’t give a fuck about your little broken heart! Don’t give a damn about your mental pressure! Don’t give a damn about your laziness! Don’t give a fuck about your doubts. Stop being a shit, being a person without any motivation. Stop wasting your life! Get up now, immediately!“, can we hear in the video.
A speech that does not pass
Unsurprisingly, his words did not fail to react to Internet users. Many voices have been raised on social networks to criticize the attitude of Tibo InShape while recalling that depression is not to be taken lightly.
“I can’t do pecs today, I’m burying my grandmother”

Someone will explain to Tibo in Shape that depression is a disease that cannot be cured just by doing push-ups?

Tibo InShape does his mea culpa
As discontent mounted on social networks, the youtuber wanted to clarify his position.
“Yesterday I did a motivational Tik Tok to encourage people who feel bad about themselves to move on. My goal was also to motivate people who are victims of depression. And unfortunately, not everyone understood it like that. Depression is a real disease. It’s hard to get out of it, but there are solutions. And that’s really what I wanted to show through the Tik Tok. I want to apologize for people who misinterpreted my Tik Tok. If I’m on Earth, it’s to motivate people to play sports and take care of themselves. You begin to know me by force. Big courage and support to all people who are victims of depression. We are thinking of you very much”, did he declare.

If several Internet users continued to point the finger at the attitude of the youtuber, and his trivialization of depression, other Internet users thanked the youtuber for having restored their self-confidence, stating in particular “We often need someone to yell at us like that, thank you Tibo”.
Either way, this isn’t the first time Tibo InShape has found himself in the middle of controversy and it probably won’t be the last. As the youtuber said, “You begin to know me by force”.
