Murad Merali

[playgirlbunny]

It’s obvious now why Murad made everything about race. He literally is obsessed with race. How could he go to bed at night with this whole secret life of race play and pretend to be a champion for POC on YouTube? It’s psycho behaviour.

It was all projection. I’m not sure how he could look at himself in the mirror everyday. I’d feel so phoney and disgusted with myself.

The fact that he was also constantly talking about mental health and was sponsored by frontline therapists is also just mind boggling. I’m curious as to how much toll it took on his mental health for living two separate lives. One being a champion for POC and the other degrading them in the bedroom and playing the role of a superior arab.

I don’t even think he’s Arab. I think he’s 100% pakistani. I don’t see any Arab in his face whatsoever.

I’m wondering if he acted like a champion towards poc so that the sex work that he did doesn’t come back to him but he made the mistake of having his voice in a lot of videos so people easily recognised it was him. I was listening to a chat room and the person that was speaking said Murad never hid his only fans it was on his bio on instagram. He’s not Arab he’s Pakistani he lied about being Arab; he’s grandma is Indian I believe only difference is that she lived in Yemen. Also I don’t understand why he never spoke about the issues that south Asians face he only ever spoke about the issues that black people, especially black women faced. But then again he’s phony because if a black woman isn’t having any issues he dislikes them heavily, he hated kaz before everything happened to her and apparently he doesn’t like indiyah.

This is gunna sound crazy and i might be daft for thinking/believing it but anyone seen that video on twitter of Tower Bridge being closed because there's a guy climbing on it , well there are people saying it's Murad , it actually looks like him

(I've already wrote this on the love island thread , I know)

I was about to say don’t be daft it doesn’t look like him. But actually it does

I agree he shouldn't be shamed for being a sex worker or fulfilling this particular niche it's more the 'race play' that is problematic given how he's made a lot of his public identity commenting on race issues. If any public figure had done this he'd be all over it particularly tearing apart the apology video. It's not just minority issues in his early days he made a habit of encouraging pile ons to any Islander he didn't like until he was called out on it on article about the trolling of Molly Mae. After that he added a caution at the beginning of his Love Island gossip videos but he knew full well his fans would go and troll the subject of his videos. I remember him saying one particular Islander "didn't get enough hate" and while not one of his main targets he did criticise India Reynolds for his assumption she hadn't been honest about her glamour model past. I can't feel too sorry for what is happening to him now even though I hope he has some support.

I could only make it through a few seconds of one video, the one that people were saying was indisputably him but from what I've read he's using the same racial slurs in the some of the videos. Most people don't buy his excuse that the captions were not written by him but surely he can't claim these were not his words when the exact phrases were recorded coming out of his mouth.

I seriously doubt that this is all in the past either. As people pointed out in the Love Island thread his lifestyle is way too lavish to be funded just from youtube and instagram particularly when he's only relevant when Love Island airs. Either he's still engaging in sex work or he has some rich sugar daddy funding him.

Half his insta followers are foot fetish pages

Not gonna lie it tickles me that this whole thing came out after he tried to drag Liam for “stealing” his catchphrase. The poor boy wasn’t even in the villa for a week and ended up unintentionally being the catalyst for Murad’s career being over.

 

[Erikafei]

If they did he probably would have sugar-coated it by saying people pay to be dominated or he has a sugar daddy or something

Also I’m not sure why he lied in his video saying if he didn’t do what he did he would have ended up as a prostitute like he quite clearly WAS a prostitute

Yeah i agree. Like the sex work is not the issue here. To me anyway. But the racism is disgusting...

 

[playgirlbunny]

So what is he just gonna do now just disappear off the Face Of the earth

I think he’s going to continue doing the sex work it’s what pays his bills and allows him to go on these fancy holidays and expensive hotels. But I have a feeling he will do it in Dubai.

 

[MindyKippling101]

he wasnt kidding about being daily and consistant-he was talking about his onlyfans

 

[wiltingviolet]

I did see the video I don’t really have comments for that. I just hope he has people around him keeping him safe. He doesn’t sound okay.

I hope some of the people he slated also had had someone keeping them safe. Karma is a bitch.

 

[TTttttt]

Amber Gill has unfollowed him on Instagram

 

[Its_Me]

It's crazy because we're made to feel guilty for not believing someone when it comes to SA. Because we should believe victims. And that's why he choose to make this his reason. Because if you don't believe it, then now you look like the evil one for not believing such a horrible thing. I feel he's weaponising real victimhood. Sorry. I'm very good at trusting my gut and this is what I feel.

Yup, you said exactly what I feel and I fully expect people to come for me for saying I don’t believe him but I don’t even feel bad about it because it was totally insincere and he knew playing that card would buy him the sympathy he so badly needed to get out of the situation he is in.

 

[playgirlbunny]

Yeah that was really weird. I mean, as if! And to think that he kept speaking on behalf of Nas, saying Nas wasn't getting attention because he's Asian. Nas came out and didn't like it, but Murad kept going. If my friend didn't like something, I would stop. End of. No question about it.

Then making gossip videos about him was odd. Imagine your friend making videos about you for an audience?

Anyway, Nas and Eva are still going strong, so who's the real winner here?

I’m so happy for them. I remember after murad’s video people were hoping Eva would dump Nas and many were saying how she’s rich and doesn’t need him but they’re still in love and going so strong I think there’s more to the story as to why nas stopped being friends with him.

Is it actually confirmed that these men paid Murad to treat them like that? My thoughts were that Murad paid *them* so he could film etc and post the video to make money off it.

I assume he wouldn't of paid them very much and they may have only agreed if they really needed the money etc..

Nah, it’s the ‘dominatrix’ that gets paid.

 

[AnonyGoss]

The fake cry, the poor me crap…. I’m not buying it either. The bit that sealed it for me was “I was just a kid man” and then trying to force a tear. I’ve worked with perpetrators of SA and read some of the most upsetting statements. There are so many holes in his account…He also constantly repeats sentences……lies….whilst he’s trying to think of the next thing to say which is again lies. That to me was like a really bad audition for a part in a really bad play. He’s adding to the reasons why so many people aren’t believed and so don’t come forward or it takes them years to do so…..because there’s people like him who will lie to save their skin/sell their soul for a few quid, trample over anyone and then when they get caught out they use an excuse for their behaviour as a way to manipulate people in to feeling sorry for them. Piece of shit he is. I’m mixed race and to read that women are giving him money has turned my stomach!

Also him saying he did those things 6 years ago, when there's evidence he done some stuff as recent as last year... embarrassing to say the least. Also, he used to be skinny 6 years ago, and only recently gained weight/ muscle, which is another way you can tell it's recent.
If he lies about that, then what else is he lying about?

 

[HughJanus]

Does anyone reading this know Murad in person? Any update as to how he’s doing??

I’ve seen on Twitter he’s back on grinder haha

 

[Crying]

No way ITV news has made a video about him

 

[Lollyll]

Yeeesh what a wreck. Fwiw I used to do some similar work feet wise (no racism obvs) a lonnng time ago so i do understand how good the money is and how easy it can be to have your personal bohndaries pushed. But you don't have to accept jobs that don't sit right, you decide your price and what you are willing to do.

Obviously people's kinks are their own business and what is done in private should stay that way. HOWEVER posting racist shit online is never okay, no matter what the kink, or what payment you're being offered, or what you've been through in the past.

I hope he's able to get the therapy he obviously needs and stops making money off all this
