The Cuban singer Leoni Torres sparked a stir on social media, but this time not for his music, but for a home video that ignited an intense debate among his followers.
In the images, the artist is seen bathing his dog in a sink, which sparked a wave of reactions. Anticipating the controversy, Leoni wrote alongside the video: “Before those who constantly tell others how to do things show up. That backyard sink is never used. Who bathes their puppy?”.
Despite the clarification, many internet users were quick to criticize the scene. "How horrific to bathe the dog in the sink, don't even invite me for a glass of water," one commenter wrote. Another was more blunt: "Everything was perfect until you put the puppy in the sink... not a good idea... not at all, especially not to post it."
There were also those who brought up the issue of hygiene: "I understand, Leoni and the puppy are there to defend them, but hygiene is a different matter... it doesn't matter where the sink is, it's not for bathing the puppies." Along the same lines, another follower expressed: "Good job bathing the puppy, but please do it somewhere else in the house, not there."
However, a significant portion of the audience came to the singer's defense. "Sir, it's clear as day that this is the terrace sink, not the kitchen sink, as they like to talk just for the sake of talking," wrote one user. Another added, "The sink can be cleaned afterward, and the little dog enjoyed it and looked beautiful."
The stances also included more direct messages about personal freedom: "The sink is for whatever the owner wants, what's the surprise?" while another commented, "Let the dog bathe wherever it wants, it's his house, his sink, and his life."
Some even made jokes about the controversy: "In the kitchen sink... after all, hot dogs are made in the kitchen," one said sarcastically. And there were also those who downplayed the whole issue: "People are getting more and more involved; let them bathe the dog wherever they want."
But not all the attention was directed at the dog or the sink. Many followers barely paid attention to the controversy, as the artist's bare torso drew comments: "Did anyone see the dog, Leoni's hot dog? What sink, forget the sink, Yuliet, put a collar on him," joked one user.
As often happens on social media, an everyday scene ended up becoming a viral topic, eliciting all kinds of opinions ranging from the harshest criticism to absolute defense… and others who simply chose to look the other way.
