A YouTuber has ignited a firestorm of controversy after revealing he is in a romantic relationship with both a mother and her daughter. While some online users questioned the legitimacy of his claims, others expressed outright disgust.
The influencer, Nick Yardy (real name Nicholas Hunter), shocked his followers when he announced that he was dating Jade, 22, and her mother, Dani. He further escalated the situation by claiming that both women were pregnant with his children.
As expected, the internet wasted no time reacting, with opinions ranging from sheer disbelief to moral outrage. However, as with many viral internet stories, there’s more beneath the surface than meets the eye.
A Shocking Claim That Turned Out to Be a Stunt
Shortly after the story spread across social media, Nick Yardy admitted in an interview with the Daily Mail that the pregnancy claim was completely fabricated.
“There are no babies. It’s just, like, a skit. It’s not actually real,” he confessed. “People that follow me, they’re just looking for entertainment, and I don’t think they really [believe it].”
However, despite the fake pregnancy storyline, he insists that his relationship with both Jade and Dani is real.
“They are actually mother and daughter, and our involvement with each other is real,” he confirmed. “It’s just that they’re not actually pregnant. At least not yet.”

The Internet’s Explosive Reaction
Whether people believed the pregnancy claim or not, the idea of a throuple involving a mother and daughter sparked widespread condemnation.
🚨 One user bluntly questioned: “What the hell is wrong with people?”
🚨 Another person didn’t hold back: “This is just flat-out disgusting. Bring back shame!”
🚨 A third sarcastically added: “So either it’s true and they are disgusting, or it’s fake and they’re still disgusting. Either way, yikes.”
Many saw the situation as a clear-cut case of attention-seeking behavior, with some suggesting that the entire story was a ploy to drive traffic to his online content.
💬 “Ah, the tangled web of internet clout-chasing,” one user wrote. “A man claims he pulled off the biological equivalent of a reality TV finale, but—like all things in the age of viral deception—the timeline doesn’t quite add up.”
💬 “Nothing lures people into the digital abyss of curiosity quite like an absurd story wrapped in scandal. And, of course, if there’s an OnlyFans link involved, the motivations become clearer than a glass-bottom boat. Subscription bait, plain and simple.”
Social Media and the Era of Viral Deception
This isn’t the first time an influencer has fabricated an outlandish story for engagement, and it certainly won’t be the last. Social media has become a breeding ground for shock-value content, where creators push boundaries to gain attention.
But why do these outrageous stories go viral?
✔ Shock Value Works – Extreme content grabs attention, whether it’s true or not.
✔ Engagement Algorithms Reward Controversy – The more people comment, share, and react, the more platforms boost the content.
✔ Monetization Is the End Goal – Whether it’s subscriptions, brand deals, or traffic to other platforms, creators profit from viral outrage.
In the case of Nick Yardy, the entire stunt appears to have been crafted for maximum engagement, with shock, disbelief, and moral outrage fueling the fire.

Blurring the Line Between Reality and Entertainment
One of the biggest issues with internet culture today is the fine line between reality and performance. With so many influencers staging dramatic, headline-grabbing stunts, it’s increasingly difficult to separate truth from fiction.
✔ Do creators have a responsibility to be honest?
✔ Or is the onus on viewers to recognize when they are being manipulated?
For many, the problem isn’t just this particular story—it’s the wider trend of misinformation, fake narratives, and staged scandals designed to drive online engagement.

The Bigger Picture: The Cost of Viral Fame
While Nick Yardy’s stunt may have worked in the short term—generating millions of views and endless discussions—there’s always a long-term cost to chasing viral fame at any cost.
👎 Loss of Credibility – Once an influencer is caught in a lie, audiences stop taking them seriously.
👎 Public Backlash – Internet fame can turn into internet infamy overnight.
👎 Platform Crackdowns – Social media companies are increasingly cracking down on misleading content, making it harder for creators to keep playing these games.
In some cases, viral deception leads to even more severe consequences—from lost sponsorships to permanent bans on social platforms.
Conclusion: The Internet’s Obsession with Scandal Continues
Whether real or fake, the Nick Yardy ‘throuple’ controversy is yet another example of how outrage fuels the internet.
🚀 The more shocking the claim, the faster it spreads.
🔥 The more people argue, the more engagement it gets.
💰 And the more clicks it generates, the more profitable it becomes.
At the end of the day, controversy sells—and as long as audiences continue to fall for staged scandals, creators will keep manufacturing them.
But with social media users becoming more skeptical and quicker to call out deception, it begs the question: How much longer can influencers get away with these viral stunts?
