Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr has found himself at the center of controversy after it was discovered that he had liked numerous photos of Miray Yıldırım, a talented 16-year-old volleyball player from Beşiktaş, on social media. The discovery quickly went viral, leading to a heated response from the Turkish online community.
Many social media users were outraged, flocking to the comment sections of both Vinícius Jr’s and Yıldırım’s profiles to express their disapproval. One of the most common reactions was a blunt and direct question: “Are you crazy? She’s just 16!”
The backlash highlights the sensitivity surrounding interactions between adult celebrities and minors on social media. While it is unclear whether Vinícius Jr had any intentions beyond casual support or admiration for the athlete’s achievements, the public reaction has been swift and unforgiving.
Neither Vinícius Jr nor his representatives have made any official statement regarding the situation, and Beşiktaş has also remained silent on the matter. The incident has sparked discussions about the responsibility of public figures in navigating social media interactions, especially when it involves minors.
As the story continues to unfold, fans and critics alike are keeping a close eye on whether Vinícius Jr will address the controversy directly or if Real Madrid will step in to handle the situation.
