Influencer refuses to talk to his own family because they're not famous

He's explained that he has no time for his 'irrelevant' family

An influencer, who hit headlines in 2020 after he licked a toilet bowl for a 'coronavirus challenge', has said he refuses to speak to his family because they don’t have as many followers as him.

Larz, 23, from California in the US, appeared on the Kyle and Jackie O Show where he said he found it ‘embarrassing’ that people would even think he still speaks to his family.

You can listen to his outrageous comments below:

Larz, who has more than 420,000 followers on Instagram, went viral after he filmed himself licking a toilet bowl amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The influencer then claimed to have contracted the virus - although Larz's friend Ava Louise later revealed the footage he posted from hospital was actually old and he'd lied about falling ill with Covid.

If that wasn't enough controversy, Larz has now revealed that he doesn’t speak to his own family because they’re not as famous as him.

Appearing on the Australian radio show, Larz was asked by presenter Jackie ‘O’ Henderson if he no longer speaks to his family, to which he replied: “Of course not. I stopped talking to them so long ago, it’s actually embarrassing that people would think I still talk to them.”

When asked who he speaks to instead, he said: "I talk to Cardi B over Instagram DM. We met on Twitter in 2015 and ever since have talked fluently.

"I'm just more famous than everyone and I won't talk to people who aren't unless they get the same amount of followers as me."

He went on to say that he’s from a big family with five brothers and four sisters and that he’s blocked them all on Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat and won’t speak to him until they get the same amount of followers as him.

This isn’t the first time Larz has admitted to cutting off his family, having previously branding them ‘irrelevant’.

Appearing on Dr Phil a couple of years back, he said: “I don’t talk to my family [because] they’re irrelevant. None of them have followers. If they got followers or got rich, I’d probably talk to them again.” Lucky them, eh?

Larz then appeared to be puzzled by the thought of having a conversation with his mother unless it led to him being more ‘relevant’.

Explaining his reasoning to the booing audience, he added: “I have a career. I’m famous. That’s what happens when you become famous - you cut people off.”

And Larz managed to piss off the audience even further by telling them that they were most likely only angry because they ‘weren’t relevant either’ so ‘don’t really understand’.

I think that’s quite enough internet for me for one day, to be honest.
