Claressa Shields Louis Vuitton controversy started as a holiday shopping post and quickly turned into a full blown internet moment after an IG creator questioned her luxury flex.
An Instagram creator who goes by mrskinnytv posted a video breaking down why he felt Claressa Shields shopping at Louis Vuitton was not the look she thought it was. In the clip, he questioned her mentorship circle, criticized her appearance, and suggested the moment would have hit harder if a single man was buying the luxury items for her instead of her spending her own money. He also accused her of parading with another woman’s husband online and labeled the move as pick me behavior, closing by inviting his followers to weigh in.
Claressa did not let that commentary sit quietly.
She jumped straight into the comments and told him flat out that he looked sick and needed to go to the doctor. That alone grabbed attention, but she did not stop there. Screenshots show she also slid into his DMs and let her feelings be known directly.
In those messages, Claressa checked his tone, defended her choices, and addressed the assumptions head on. She called out what she felt was misinformation, referenced personal situations he spoke on publicly, and made it clear she was not here for internet men policing how she spends her money or lives her life. She emphasized that she has made it, is still making it, and does not need permission or validation to shop for herself. She also made it known that talking to her sideways would not be tolerated, online or privately.
Since the exchange went viral, fans have continued to weigh in on whether the criticism crossed the line or if public figures should expect commentary when posting luxury moments online. While opinions remain split, the moment adds to the ongoing conversation about how women are judged for spending their own money and responding directly to online critics.
