Bronwin Aurora, a Toronto-based social media influencer, has drawn widespread criticism after sharing a TikTok video of herself dancing next to her 85-year-old boyfriend, who was lying in a hospital bed. The video, which has since gone viral, has sparked a wave of online backlash, with many condemning it as insensitive and inappropriate.
The video was shared on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption: “Western liberal society is so damn cooked, man. This is not a great thing to aspire to.” In the clip, Aurora, dressed in black jeans and a tan top, dances while referencing her inclusion in her elderly boyfriend’s will. The TikTok post was captioned, “Guys, I got on the will, should I pull the plug?”

Bronwin Aurora, you’re not just heartless—you’re the definition of everything wrong with this generation.
you’ve pulled the plug on ethics, respect, and humanity.

The video has ignited strong reactions across social media platforms. Many users expressed disapproval, highlighting the seriousness of the setting and calling Aurora’s behavior disrespectful.
Aurora is known for frequently posting content with her much older boyfriend, often joking about their significant age difference. In a previous Instagram reel, she danced with him, captioning the video, “He’s old enough to be your grandpa.”
While the couple has often brushed off criticism with humor, the hospital video has been met with a different response, with many viewers finding it inappropriate and offensive given the circumstances.
The hospital video quickly gained traction, amassing over 150,000 views and generating numerous comments. While Aurora and her boyfriend have typically taken criticism in stride, this particular post has highlighted the limits of public tolerance for humor in sensitive situations.
