Since the DANA hit our country, numerous content creators have mobilized to help the victims for the tragedy of Valencia which, until now, has left 217 fatalities and, in the absence of official figureshundreds of people missing.
An example of this has been the streamer The Grefgwho a few days ago held a charity live show with which, although he managed to raise more than 140,000 euros, It was not without controversy either. due to his tax residence in Andorra. Likewise, his altruistic gesture has been tarnished again in recent hours following a comment he made during his stream in which spread a hoax around the victims of DANA.
Specifically, the content creator echoed a message shared by a chat user about the scandalous hidden number of deaths in the parking from the Bonaire shopping center. “This puts fear into fear,” Grefg acknowledged before clarifying that it could be a lie. And, shortly after, it was proven that this was false information, since the emergency services found no victims.
However, it was already too late as the hoax had already circulated for days on social networks. Therefore, the journalist Ana Pastorfrom his program in LaSextaasked the influencer to explain to his audience “the reality of parking which he was referring to.” “Yours is an error that I want to rectify. What other people (creators) do is bad intentions. It is doing more harm to the victims. And they have been doing it for years in every tragedy,” Pastor added in his X profile.
For its part, The Grefg, far from rectifying, has returned to put against the ropes to the traditional media for their alleged “manipulation”, taking his case as a paradigm. “A Spanish television channel caught a clip of mine. They cut the part where I say that it is a chat comment and it could be a lie. They show it in the news,” said the streamer through X, using an extract from the LaSexta news.
In this sense, Grefg has expressed his annoyance because “of the almost $150,000 raised in that same live show” nothing was mentioned in any format of the network. “We’re screwed,” has sentenced. These harsh words have received support from other content creators such as willyrexwho added: “They are finished, they have lost all credibility, They’re not fooling anyone anymore… Tell them at home to turn off the TV; It’s the best they can do.”
