Woman hits out after confrontation with gym-goer over 'painted pants' sparked mass debate
A Kick streamer has responded after sparking a debate by going to a gym in body paint.
Natalie Reynolds carried out a 'social experiment' on 27 December which involved her going to a gym wearing mostly body paint.
She posted a livestream which showed her getting a pair of blue jeans and a top painted onto her before heading for the gym while also wearing an actual hoodie.

The influencer told her followers that it had taken around five hours for the paint to be applied leaving her wearing her hoodie and 'swimsuit bottoms' as well as the paint.
Heading for the gym, within minutes she ended up being confronted by someone else there, who told her: "If you don't have clothes on, you need to be out of here, ma'am."
She fired back that she did have clothes on, and the gym-goer said he worked in the entertainment industry 'enough to know' that she wasn't wearing enough.
He also chastised her for filming in the gym, telling her she wasn't supposed to do that.
Her video has since been posted on social media and kicked off quite the debate, with plenty of people telling Natalie they thought she was in the wrong.
One said 'painted pants aren't real pants' while another told her 'that dude was 100 percent right'.
She ended up getting community noted on Twitter, with the note saying the man in the video was 'protecting the overall gym etiquette', warning that not wearing appropriate clothing in the gym was disrespectful and unhygienic to others.
Natalie has since responded, taking to Twitter to compare herself to another YouTuber and call out bodybuilding outfits.
In a tweet she sent on 27 December she 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.
The following day (28 December) she then posted a picture of bodybuilders in trunks and bikinis showing off their muscles.
She wrote: "So when people wear these outfits it’s all about body positivity but when I’m wearing more then that it’s a problem.
"The gym allowed me inside, allowed me to film and had no issue otherwise they would have kicked me out…"
That still didn't wash as an excuse with some people, who told her she wasn't a bodybuilder and argued that what they were wearing in the picture is not what would be worn when going to the gym.
