Influencer's ‘dangerous' gender reveal stunt with ‘TNT' blast sends pregnant woman flying: ‘At what cost?!'
They put her on blast. A well-known Florida influencer and mother-to-be faces criticism after her extravagant gender reveal put her and her unborn child at risk. Lele Pons, from Miami, hosted a lavish party with a showy stunt to announce the gender of their baby. Along with her husband, Pons stood on stage in front of a background with a sign that read 'Team Boy' behind dad and 'Team Girl' behind mom. People in rain ponchos stood under each sign waiting. The expectant parents then pressed down on a handle that read 'TNT' — and turned around to see pink gloop shooting out of the 'Team Girl' side. The sketchy substance rushed out, covering the people standing under the sign. But the liquid shot out so quickly it flooded the stage immediately — causing Lele to slip and fall to the ground, while her husband jumped for joy. The pregnant woman struggled to get her footing and continued to slip while everybody celebrated — when the proud papa turned around and saw his wife in distress. Lele laughed it off as her husband held her upright, but viewers did not find the situation as hilarious. The video quickly went viral on Instagram and people were not impressed. 'Omg this is so dangerous. Not even funny,' one person noted echoing many of the other comments. 'A girl but at what cost, it was almost not any gender,' another said. 'Did she nearly lose her child over a gender reveal?' someone asked. 'Literally the most dangerous reveal I have seen!' another person commented. While people's reactions may seem a bit explosive, they come as people have increasingly rejected gender reveal theatrics after some have ended in wildfires, jailtime and even death. Several years ago, the woman credited with inventing the trend even began begging the public to stop the 'toxic' practice.

Mom-to-be influencer followed by Shakira, Shraddha Kapoor goes flying during gender reveal party; video goes viral
Gender reveals are getting more over-the-top every day, and one recent stunt from Florida has people talking — and not all in a good way. Social media influencer and soon-to-be mom Lele Pons, best known for her YouTube fame and stint on Dancing with the Stars, is under fire for a dramatic reveal that many say took things a step too far. At a flashy party in Miami, Pons and her husband stood onstage in front of a setup that had 'Team Boy' and 'Team Girl' signs on either side. Groups of people in ponchos stood beneath each sign, ready for the big moment. The couple pressed down on a button labeled 'TNT,' triggering a sudden burst of pink goo that blasted out from the 'Team Girl' side, confirming they're expecting a daughter. The goo drenched the people below, but it didn't stop there. It flooded the stage so fast that Pons lost her balance, slipping and falling while her husband celebrated with a leap of excitement. As the goo kept coming, Pons tried to stand but kept slipping. Her husband eventually turned around and helped her up while she laughed off the mishap. A post shared by Gender Reveal Miami (@genderrevealmiami) The video quickly went viral. While some viewers found it hilarious, others weren't as amused. One person wrote, 'This is so dangerous but happy for her.' Another user, apparently a professional in the event space, commented, 'As event professionals we have to do better with risk assessment and ensure our clients are better cared for. Sometimes saying NO is ok for their safety. This could have been tragic and thank God it wasn't.' A third user wrote, 'I think this was a great gender reveal but they should have been away from everything lollll.' Another Instagram user wrote, 'Baby almost returned to sender.' A fifth user wrote, 'I feel like this is a Nickelodeon slime episode.' Lele Pons, born Eleonora Pons Maronese on June 25, 1996, is a Venezuelan-American internet personality, actress, singer, and comedian. She shot to fame on the video platform Vine, where she became the first 'Viner' to reach one billion loops. After Vine shut down, she expanded her presence on YouTube, where she has amassed over 18 million subscribers, creating comedy sketches and episodic content. Pons has also ventured into acting, appearing in the MTV horror series Scream and the romantic comedy We Love You.

Watch couple's ‘mad' & messy OTT gender reveal that sends mum flying, as people say they'd ‘return baby to sender'
A COUPLE has sparked outrage with their OTT gender reveal, which ended with the mum-to-be falling over. Lele Pons is expecting her first child with husband Guaynaa, and the pair recently decided to host a huge event to find out if they were expecting a boy or girl. 4 4 4 At the extravagant event, the couple put their hands on a pretend "TNT" plunger, as two groups of people stood beneath two signs - one of which said "It's a Boy", and the other "It's a Girl". Those underneath the signs wore hooded plastic ponchos - hinting at what was to come. And after the parents-to-be pushed the plunger, a stream of pink gunge shot out of containers above - covering the people beneath. But the chaos didn't stop there. As Guaynaa jumped for joy, Lele attempted to express her excitement too. However, as she had been standing on the 'girl' side of the stage, the pink liquid covered the floor beneath her. And because of that, Lele ended up taking a tumble - slipping over dramatically. She then tried to get up, and slipped again. Seeing his wife struggling, Guaynaa chivalrously jumped over the ledge at the front of the stage to get to her side. Lele laughed off any discomfort as her hubby swept her up, before the pair embraced in delight. Pregnant women baffles people with over-the-top gender reveal which had a live ultrasound and fireworks Pink streamers also came down from the ceiling to signify the gender of the baby, as everyone celebrated the happy news. However, people in the comments section weren't quite as convinced about the gender reveal - which would have most likely set them back several thousands. "Baby almost returned to sender," one sighed. "This is so dangerous!" another insisted. "Blessings and congratulations but that's a very bad idea," a third wrote. "Omg this is so dangerous. Not even funny," someone else raged. The world's most expensive gender reveals GENDER reveals are becoming bigger and more elaborate day by day, with people constantly thinking of different ways to up those before them. And money is no issue for a lot of these couples - with some spending hundreds or thousands on the event. Read on for some of the most expensive gender reveals in history. Ste Hamilton Wealthy property tycoon and YouTuber Ste Hamilton decided to gift his wife-to-be Isabella Rowles with a £300,000 Lamborghini, which would be in either pink or blue to reflect their baby's gender. Steven and Isabella and friends and family attended an extravagant event at the Belfry Hotel and Resort near Birmingham to find out they were having a baby boy. "It was worth every second of the hard work to see the happiness in everyone's faces on the day," Ste said, after spending a further £40,000 on the big reveal. Logan Paul The wrestling star and YouTuber and fiancee Nina Agdal staged a public wrestling match for their gender reveal. A wrestler in pink trunks took on one in blue, with the one in pink emerging victorious - signifying that they are having a baby girl. Inga Stumbriene The Lithuanian influencer hired planes to fly in the sky as she, her fiance and their nearest and dearest watched. The planes dropped a load of blue confetti - revealing the pair were having a boy - but people insisted it was the "most polluted" gender reveal ever. Anonymous couple One of the most recent jaw-dropping gender reveals happened in May 2024, when a couple decided to DYE a waterfall to reveal if they were having a boy or girl. After the videos circulated on the social media, the public demanded for the couple to be punished, with some suggesting they should go to jail. Others were concerned about water contamination, as the pair had used a powdered chemical known as "Blue Lagoon" into the Queima-Pe River, which feeds the waterfall. "That is the worst gender reveal I have ever seen," another commented. "A girl but at what cost?" someone else said "It was almost not any gender!" While others took aim at the organisers of the gender reveal, with one questioning: "This could have ended so bad, shame on you guys for not prioritising the safety of the mom and the baby". "As event professionals we have to do better with risk assessment and ensure our clients are better cared for," another wrote. "Sometimes saying NO is ok for their safety. This could have been tragic and thank God it wasn't." "The weirdest baby reveal I've ever seen," a third added. "Very dangerous - she could've had a miscarriage and also could have hurt herself. "The people behind her should've been in a little boxed off area separated from them. "Why were they literally standing in the slime?!" "Who came up with such a terrible idea?" someone else queried.
