Jonathan De La Rosa's Disturbing Experience Post-Tampa Pro Victory
After a stellar performance at the 2024 Tampa Pro, Jonathan De La Rosa not only reclaimed his position on the Olympia stage but also became the target of alarming threats. De La Rosa revealed through his Instagram stories the unsettling reality of these threats, stating, "I’ve been getting death threats and all kinds of crazy sh*t on my Instagram. I know some of you are big fans of Mohamed. I’m a fan of Mohamed. He has a great physique. I think some things go a little too far."

This alarming situation underscores the darker side of fan interactions, where competitive results lead to intense and hostile reactions from disappointed fans.

The threats escalated to involve De La Rosa's family, an unacceptable overreach into his personal life. He emphasized the need for boundaries: "Another thing I want to talk about is keeping my loved ones out of this. My wife has nothing to do with it... Again, we should just have a little bit more class and respect." This invasion of privacy not only affects the athlete's mental well-being but also places undue stress on their families.

Jonathan De La Rosa:

I’ve been getting death threats and all kinds of crazy sh*t on my Instagram. I know some of you are big fans of Mohamed. I’m a fan of Mohamed. He has a great physique. I think some things go a little too far. I understand the passion from the fans behind what we do and I appreciate it but death threats, guys? Come on.

There’s no political motive for the judges to give me a win. Let’s look at this. What do the judges get for giving me the win? Do they make money? Do they get some sort of compensation? I don’t sell extra tickets. I’m not a Ramy or Chris Bumstead where it’s going to make a difference in ticket sales for them.

Another thing I want to talk about is keeping my loved ones out of this. My wife has nothing to do with it…Again, we should just have a little bit more class and respect.

Let’s learn to give the athletes the respect and flowers they deserve on the days that they win. There can always be a respectful discussion on why you feel the other person should have won but key word, respect. So let’s do better guys. Thank you for the love and support. Thank you for all the messages, even the bad ones. Let’s learn to appreciate the hard work that we all put in.
