Australian twins, who have hundreds of thousands of TikTok followers, have sparked scorn after filming a British racing driver at a urinal, sharing the footage on their social platforms to attract clicks.
“I know what you're thinking, how big is he? That stays between me and George. There's an individuality to a men's urinal. What I can say is he looks really comfortable and confident. “We've been there for a while, so he's clearly very hydrated and ready to race,” he said. Archie and Miles Shepherd laughed in a video that has since been removed, according to indy100, a branch of the British newspaper The Independent.
The Australian brothers, whose TikTok page “Shepmates” has more than 476,000 followers, were forced to apologize after sharing footage of British Formula 1 driver George Russell using a urinal at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday.
The poor taste comments made by the two influencers quickly angered Formula 1 fans, who denounced the intrusive behaviour.
Australian sportscaster Shane McInnes didn't mince his words as he urged both twins to be banned from future races on X, The Independent reports.
