A social media influencer is being widely criticised after she came up with a disgusting “coronavirus challenge” only to increase her following on social media.

The Instagram and TikTok influencer shared a video of her licking a toilet seat allegedly on an airplane to prove that coronavirus couldn’t harm her.

Model Ava Louise, in her bizarre stunt, was seen licking the toilet seat to a song titled, ‘It’s Corona Time’. 

The 21-year-old American even flashes the victory sign after the stunt.

“Please RT this so people can know how to properly be sanitary on the airplane,” she wrote on Twitter after posting the TikTok video, which was later deleted.

The model has over 160,000 followers on Instagram. She has appeared on television talk shows in the past.

Louise was severely criticised on social media for using fears over the pandemic to boost her following.

Several slammed her for using the #CoronavirusChallenge since medical experts may use the hashtag to highlight preventive measures.

Some have since demanded that Louise be jailed and others also feared that her video might influence others.
