An old viral video of a TikTok influencer cleaning an abandoned grave for “free” at night has resurfaced on the internet and sparked intense criticism from netizens. The video, shared by the social media account “Hall of Fame,” features the influencer, known as ‘Clean Girl,’ cleaning a stranger’s grave at night. Her motivation? The influencer believed that “everyone deserves a beautiful resting place.” The video, originally shot around two years ago, has garnered millions of views and thousands of likes. However, the viral nature of the content has also ignited a debate about respecting the deceased and their families.
Many users slammed the influencer for cleaning a grave without seeking permission from the deceased person’s family member. The video opens with the influencer announcing her intent to clean the grave at night, offering her services for free. She then proceeds to clean the mud and dirt around the gravestone with a shovel. Adding an unexpected element to the task, she utilizes a bubble-gum pink spray cleaner and sponge to clean the gravestone itself. Throughout the cleaning process, she expresses her curiosity about the deceased person, mentioning their name, date of death, and star sign.
While some users found the video oddly satisfying, many pointed out the discomforting aspect of the influencer’s actions. The sudden movement of the shovel in the background of the video raised eyebrows, with some questioning the influencer’s comfort level with her actions. Other users highlighted the lack of gloves, the intrusive nature of cleaning a stranger’s grave, and the potential for disrespecting the deceased and their loved ones.
Despite the criticism, a small section of users praised the influencer for her initiative, highlighting the positive impact of cleaning neglected graves. However, the majority of the online discourse centered around the influencer’s lack of consideration for the deceased person’s family and the ethical implications of cleaning a grave without consent. The video serves as a reminder of the importance of sensitivity and respect when engaging with sensitive topics, particularly those involving the deceased.
