Plumber fired from job after going on YouTube dating show and roasting everyone who rejected him
A licensed plumber claims he’s been fired after a video of his appearance on a YouTube dating show went viral.
Last week, a man named Aaron debuted on an instalment of Arlette Amuli’s dating show, titled ‘Pop The Balloon Or Find Love’.
The premise of the YouTube episode was simple - a line of ladies would be introduced to a man and if they weren’t interested in him, they would pop the balloons they were holding and deliver a rationale as to why.

Towards the end of the one-hour-17-minute video, 29-year-old Aaron appeared and told the show host he was looking for a woman who ‘wasn’t promiscuous and has a career going for herself’.
After further listing that being ‘not cleanly’ was a major ‘dealbreaker’ for him, Aaron headed on down to speak to a woman named Karma, who immediately popped her balloon.
The 24-year-old claimed she just wasn’t ‘fully attracted’ to the American man, to which Aaron replied: “The feeling is definitely mutual so that’s OK, you did me a favor.”
Following this passive-aggressive putdown, another woman called Tara alleged she didn’t like the way Aaron had spoken to Karma.
This prompted the bachelor to hit out again and say to the 22-year-old: “If I saw you in public, I wouldn’t reach out to you.”
The budget dating show continued in this manner - with Aaron facing further women who rejected him and producing putdowns in return.
Despite experiencing many balloon pops and various arguments, the hopeful single did end up leaving the dating show with a 23-year-old woman called Esther.
The YouTube video, which has wracked up over 1.5 million views, has gone viral across X and now Aaron claims he has been fired from his job because of it.
Taking to Instagram on Monday (June 17), the tradesperson wrote: “All this clout chasing got me fired from work.
“Man I really love plumbing and I’m good at it & they got that taken away from me,” he continued. “Y’all are sick they called the company 500xs and are messing up business.”
Following the alleged admittance, fans of Amuli’s channel have come out in their droves to debate the scenario.
One social media user wrote: “I hate how he acted, on the show definitely not cool, but to call his job and get him fired is some bs this his livelihood, I just think you don’t mess with how someone eats ijs.”
“You have a skill that's always needed,” said a supportive fan. “You don't need the company.”
Someone else remarked: “This is sad. Someone gives the same energy that was given and people get so upset that he loses his job?!?!!! Social media takes things entirely too far SMH.”
“Hmmm I doubt that,” typed a fourth. “Could be a tactic to get money from us.”
Another commented: “It’s plumbing… it’s needed everywhere. Get another job lol.”
