The woman who was called out for wearing body paint to the gym has 'apologised'.
Kick streamer Natalie Reynolds underwent a controversial 'social experiment' on 27 December which saw her head to the gym in mostly body paint.
The 26-year-old wore blue painted leggings and a purple painted sports bra.
She also wore nude underwear and a pair of nipple covers.

"So, I started getting this painted on me at 11:30am and I got done at 4:15pm," she explained to her followers on social media.
"So, I'm sitting up for, like, five to six hours. It's painted on pants - so this is all paint. This is swimsuit bottoms."
Natalie then made the decision to attend her nearest gym, wearing only the body paint, which she paired with a black zip hoodie.
Within minutes of entering the gym, she was confronted by a fellow gym-goer.

"If you don't have clothes on, you need to be out of here, ma'am," the man says in the now-viral video posted on X (Twitter).
"I do have clothes on," Natalie then responds.
"Not fine, I work in the industry enough to know," the gym-goer then tells her. "I work in the entertainment field."
As he walks off he reminds her she's not supposed to 'videotape' in the gym.
"Guy in the gym presses me for wearing painted pants," Natalie captioned her video.

In a tweet shared on 27 December Natalie posted a picture of a male YouTuber being in a gym with body paint on, and said 'everyone is acting like the world is ending' when she did it.
"Let me get my gains and shredded in peace pls," she also wrote.
However, it seems that the clip has received a bit of backlash.
"That dude was 100 percent right," one person wrote. "He called out your degenerate behaviour and you played the victim."

"Painted pants aren't real pants," another added.
A third went on: "I'm sick of these influencers walking around with security guards thinking they can just do whatever they want."
"The man in the video is protecting the overall gym etiquette according to which you should wear clothes suitable for exercise," X's community note read.
"Wearing unsuitable clothes or none at all is considered to be disrespectful towards the other. It is also a hygiene risk to others."
Taking to X, Natalie has now 'apologised' for the stunt.

In a tweet shared on 30 December, she wrote: "I’ve made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I am simply here to apologize."
If you think you've read that 'apology' somewhere else before, it's because it's taken straight from Logan Paul. So, I think it's safe to take it with a pinch of salt.
