Manosphere influencer Amrou Fadl has accused Louis Theroux’s Netflix documentary of editing that ‘made him look crazy’ – hitting out at the streaming service for being ‘woke’.
Louis, 55, met with influencer Amrou, better known as Myron Gaines on platforms including Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, to discuss his shocking views on women and relationships.
The documentarian went behind the scenes at the forefront of a fast-growing cultural movement of extremist influencers targeting young men with misogynistic, homophobic, antisemitic and racist views online in Inside The Manosphere.
The content creator rose to fame online among a young male audience due to his controversial ‘Fit and Fresh’ podcast, which has hosted Andrew Tate in the past.
The series, which is a two to five hour show focusing on topics including masculinity, relationships, fitness and finance, is streamed online across X, formerly Twitter, and paid-for content site Kick, where young men pay to subscribe.
During the documentary, Louis sat in on a recording of the ‘After Hours’ section of the podcast, which sees Amrou spar with local female influencers around a table, and in one shock clip saw him brand a female guest ‘fat f***ing b***h’.

Louis also quizzed Amrou on his hopes to have ‘multiple wives’ – following a ‘one-way monogamous’ relationship with his now ex-girlfriend, which allowed him to sleep with other women, while she remained faithful.
Now, the content creator has branded Louis a ‘liar’ to his army of fans in another podcast format, titled The Debrief, where Amrou shares his controversial and divisive opinions on recent news stories.
In the horrifying over seven-hour long stream titled ‘Inside the Therouxsphere of lies’, which saw him react to a shooting at a synagogue and developments on the Middle East conflict, he hit out against the documentary as ‘making him look crazy’.
Branding Netflix as a ‘bunch of woke garbage’ and referring to the documentarian as ‘Louis the liar’, he said of his TV appearance: ‘For a very long time I was hesitant.
‘I was not really interested in doing it and the reason why was because I saw how they did my boy Andrew Tate. I wasn’t really happy about it.
‘These companies understand that “normies” are easily shocked and offended, and what they do is, they find polarising people, they get them for interviews, they cut out all the context, all the background, why they think the way that they do and they cut out how they came to their conclusion.
‘Their goal is to take a polarising person, put them in a box, make them look crazy, give shock value and sell it off.’
Elsewhere in the controversial episode, Amrou shockingly told his devoted followers that overweight people ‘don’t deserve’ to find love and that ‘feminism was behind’ all of the ‘problems’ in the world – met with hundreds of followers in agreement.
He also used a homophobic and ableist slurs as he hit back at followers with views of disagreement, branded women ‘w****s’ and ‘h**s’, and used an anti-semitic caricature image as he spoke about Jews.

In the Netflix documentary, Amrou was quizzed over his relationship with Angie, his now ex-girlfriend – who it was revealed had split from the Manosphere influencer six months ago.
Taking to his own social media platforms, Amrou addressed the split saying Angie was keen to ‘have a family’ – something he was not ready to do.
He told fans: ‘That’s what she wants, and she’s been waiting around for a minute, so who the f**k am I to tell her, “Nah, keep waiting” or deny her that.’
During the documentary, clips of Amrou discussing his ‘one way monogamous’ relationship saw him explain of his relationship with Angie: ‘I do what the f**k I want to do, she’s loyal to me, it’s monogamous on her end and open on my end.
‘She packs my f**king condoms when I travel, that’s how real it is.’
Louis asked him: ‘Do you have a rotation of other women?’ to which Amrou explained: ‘I wouldn’t say a rotation right now, I do want to get multiple wives, but right now, I’m just focusing on building things up, this year especially.’
‘Multiple wives, really?’ Louis questioned again, before Angie was spotted walking about the apartment, and the documentarian asked her to join the conversation.
‘What attracted you to Myron?’ Louis asked her, and she answered: ‘I say to my friends and to people who always question our relationship that Myron is somebody in front of the cameras, but behind them he is somebody else with me.
‘I love him very much, and I will love him as long as we are together.’
Louis explained that he and Amrou had been discussing relationships between men and women before she joined them, including ‘one way monogamy’ and him expressing wanting ‘multiple wives’.

Angie continued: ‘The woman that he sleeps with he is just going be with for a night or so… but there is a reason I’ve stayed so long with him.’
Quizzing Angie on how she feels about Amrou wanting to expand their relationship, she shifted back and forth on her feet as it was revealed they had spoken about him having multiple wives in the future.
Stepping in, Amrou said: ‘She understands that,’ but Angie added: ‘I don’t know, I mean, he has said that in the past, and I think, I’ll see when it happens. I don’t know how that will work.’
‘The things is that…’ Angie went to add before Amrou cut her off, speaking over her: ‘But right now, it’s not going to be anytime soon. I’m just so focused on working.’
Louis wasn’t backing down, hitting back: ‘You can kick it down the road only for so long. She’s put two years into a relationship, if that’s your long term plan, at some point those two realities will collide.’
‘That’s a bridge we will cross when we get there, like, right now…’ Amrou said, but Louis ploughed on: ‘That’s so avoidant!’
‘You never know, man, she could always change her mind down the road, who knows? Maybe I’ll say, “I just want to be with one girl because two would be too tough”,’ Amrou added.

But Louis pointed out: ‘Have you backtracked on that already?’ as Amrou sent Angie out of the room, telling her to ‘clean up the room’ as she walked out.
Sensing tension, Louis asked: ‘Sorry, was that okay? It was awkward though, it felt a little awkward? I don’t think she’s as on board as you are… the idea of other ladies.’
Amrou added: ‘No, we’ve had this discussion,’ but Louis insisted: ‘I saw a little bit of pain in her, definitely…’ before the two engaged in a back and forth of ‘yes’ and ‘no’.
‘You don’t think if I said to her, “you would have Myron all to yourself”, you don’t think she would be happier with that?’ Louis concluded, to which Amrou insisted: ‘She would say, “Whatever makes him happy”.’
Later in the episode, Louis was barred from speaking to Amrou’s talent booker, Icy, who brought in the female influencers for the ‘After Hours’ podcast section.
He was seen clashing with Amrou once again during the episode, hitting out at him using ‘insane’ clips showcasing ‘misinformation on the internet’.
When they came face to face for a third time, Amrou explained he didn’t want Angie appearing in the documentary any further, preventing Louis from speaking to he rby keeping her out of the way of cameras, saying: ‘I decided to get into the limelight.
‘I don’t want her to have to deal with that. I want her to focus on being happy and she doesn’t need to be in the limelight, that’s my job.’
It comes after Louis met with influencer Harrison, 24, better known as HStikkytokky on platforms including Instagram and TikTok, to discuss his rise to fame among the manosphere in the documentary.
During their tense time together, the broadcaster pointed out that Harrison criticises female adult perfomers while simultaneously promoting seedy OnlyFans content on his channel. Harrison has previously called Bonne Blue ‘disgusting’.

Louis, however, was quick to point out the similarities between the duo.
He left Harrison angered as he claimed the content creator ‘sounded like Bonnie’ while describing how he feels about promoting extreme or controversial content.
Speaking about the interview, Harrison began: ‘I think she’s absolutely repulsive as a person,’ before admitting he only got her on the live stream for ‘clout’.
Louis then asked: ‘You’ve got 500,000 people on your Telegram, right? And you’re advertising OnlyFans girls on there. Do you think there’s a contradiction there?’
To which Harrison hit back: ‘No, because I openly say I don’t give a f**k and I’m doing it for money. I don’t care about…’
Louis interrupted: ‘The morality of it?’ to which HS added: ‘I know it’s not good. I say to people: “Don’t watch porn”. It’s sad, it’s loser s**t.’
But Louis corrected him: ‘You can’t say I promote it but discourage people from doing it… You say it but it doesn’t mean anything.
‘So you say, “Come down to the gym I’m going to help you work out” and then you just have a box of donuts – there’s a box of donuts that I’m holding up to your face… it’s giving very mixed messages.’
HS continued: ‘You do what you choose. If you want to go and eat the donuts, eat the donuts, but I own the donut shop.
‘If you wanna come in the gym and pay for the PT or eat the donuts, I make dough either way. My kids are going to be very happy, they can do what they want.’
Louis then pointed out: ‘You sound a bit like Bonnie Blue… that it doesn’t really matter what choices you make because you’re making money, “my kids will enjoy a high standard of living so because of my choices of living”.’
Angered, Harrison replied: ‘You’re saying me posting pictures with a few girls is the same as getting shagged by a thousand guys? Don’t compare me to Bonnie.
‘I’m not getting triggered, but you’re talking s**t mate.’
Moving on, Louis then asked the social media influencer: ‘Why not try and be a good person? Uplift people? Don’t pander to their worst impulses?’
But Harrison simply responded: ‘If I just done good things, I would never have blown up on social media in the first place.’
Later in the documentary, HStikkytokky is seen ranting online after videos of him and Louis went viral on social media during their time filming the Netflix special.
Thousands of viewers had headed to the comments joking that Louis was ‘setting up’ the social media star to ‘look like a clown’ by having him involved in the documentary.
HS was heard fuming: ‘If you want to call me a pimp, a scammer, racist, homophobic d**khead, I’m all of those, I’m all of those, Theroux.’
It comes after Louis sent out a warning to parents of boys – following abusive run-ins while filming his Manosphere documentary for Netflix.

During the 90-minute film Inside the Manosphere, the host examined how prominent male content creators are helping form young men’s ideas about masculinity.
He met the likes of Harrison (aka HSTikkyTokky), Myron Gaines, Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy (aka Sneako), Justin Waller and Ed Matthews.
The 55-year-old entered their world and learned how these individuals highlight their respective views on traditional gender roles and values.
Meanwhile, the Manosphere itself refers to an online network – including forums, websites and blogs – that promote anti-feminist beliefs, masculinity and misogyny.
At the beginning of the documentary, Louis remarks how he had noticed ‘parts of the Internet were being taken over’ by male influencers claiming to provide young men with ‘cheat codes to win at life’.

Louis told The Mirror: ‘These aren’t figures on the margins – anyone who’s got kids, and especially boys, will know that they are making inroads into the culture.
‘Their influence is being felt in schools, in the workplace and all across the internet.’
Throughout the documentary, the influencers film Louis for their own social media platforms while putting him through abuse and asking questions they receive from their followers while livestreaming.
In turn, this leads to Louis receiving abusive comments about his previous documentary with the late Jimmy Savile.
He also witnesses homophobic behaviour by HSTikkyTokky whilst Myron Gaines speaks in front of his girlfriend about wanting multiple wives in the future.
Regarding his own sons, Louis said that while a parent would ‘hope your influence would outweigh’ online content, he added: ‘They probably spend more hours looking at their phones than they do talking to us and we don’t always know what they’re looking at.’
Louis also met with other content creators in the Manosphere, such as Myron Gaines (pictured)
Reports that Louis was set to ‘front a new Adolescence-inspired documentary for Netflix’ first surfaced in September 2025.
A source told The Sun at the time: ‘Louis is famous for starting out on the BBC with his Weird Weekends show and has stayed with them ever since.
‘Even though he started making shows for other channels and streamers, he never fronted them – that was reserved for the Beeb.
‘He did two celebrity interview series for them in 2022 and 2023, but ended that after just two series to focus on other projects.’
Netflix’s Adolescence, which was created by and starred Stephen Graham, centres on 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), who is accused of murdering a schoolgirl with Stephen playing the boy’s father.
The scripted series reached 24.3million views in just the first four days of its release – and has been praised for highlighting the online radicalisation of young men and boys.
Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere is available to stream on Netflix now.
