“I work at a gym and have never seen anyone do what you were doing,” one writes.
“Looks nothing like pulse squats,” another agrees.
Other commenters are angry at Ruvee for filming herself in a public place.
“Ban video recording in gyms!!” one demands.
“Cameras should be banned, and she should 100 per cent be banned forever,” another shares.
While a third writes: “It’s the facial expressions. Pulse squats is one thing but adding facial expressions to make it look like something else is where she went wrong.”
In the video, a man approaches Ruvee while asking: “What are you doing?”
She explains it’s a leg warm-up, and he replies: “I know what you’re doing.”
The man then accuses Ruvee of being ‘what’s wrong with girls’, at which point the woman asks him: “Are you pointing at me?”
He goes on to describe her behaviour as ‘ridiculous’ before kicking her phone away, seemingly breaking the screen.
Later on, Ruvee speculates that the man knew who she was and that he was angry because of her OFs fame.
“I can’t believe I’m not allowed to stretch at the gym because of what I do for work,” she shares on Instagram.
“Before I started OFs I was doing the same stretch before every leg day,” she says in a follow-up TikTok video.
“And all the people saying that I deserve to have my phone kicked, I deserve to be harassed in public because I was minding my business in the smallest corner of the gym… is there a rule that says no phones? No there’s not. Was it on a tripod? Was I being obnoxious? No, I wasn’t. Was I being loud? No.
“So it’s really sad to me to see all these comments saying that I deserve something because I went to the gym and was stretching.”
There has since been some speculation on X, formerly known as Twitter, about whether or not the video was a staged skit.

Your story is powerful, and your journey toward self-acceptance and resilience is inspiring. Many people face similar struggles where the expectations of a loved one erode their confidence rather than building it up. But the way you turned this experience into a pathway for self-discovery and strength shows remarkable courage and self-respect.
Jack’s actions underscore a troubling aspect of relationships where someone tries to mold their partner to fit unrealistic ideals. It’s easy to see how his comments chipped away at your sense of self-worth, but you took that negativity and transformed it into motivation, not to change for him, but to reclaim your strength and confidence for yourself. Your decision to use the money for a health checkup and to pursue fitness on your own terms speaks volumes about your priorities—well-being, inner strength, and authenticity over shallow standards.
The resolve to end the relationship in such a decisive way was undoubtedly difficult, but it seems it was ultimately liberating. It’s heartening to hear that you found someone new who appreciates you for who you genuinely are. As your story highlights, the right person will embrace all of you—not a curated, idealized version.
Thank you for sharing such a deeply personal and uplifting story. You’re a testament to the strength that comes from self-acceptance, and I’m sure many people will find hope in your words.
